Goddamn

Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

Do you ever have this happen, where music just sounds SO FUCKING GOOD to you, that you’re like completely awash in the feeling of how good it is? That just keeps happening to me over and over again tonight. It’s really fucking amazing. Right now, its Halo Benders’ “Surfer’s Haze” which is a song that […]

“I can’t fight this feeeeeeling anymore”

Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

Alright everybody. It’s time we all admit it. Journey is a completely excellent band. And I don’t just mean, in some kind of retro/revivalist ironic distance kind of way. I mean like, they rule! Their songs are big and catchy and fun. What else do you need? “I’ve forgetten what I started fighting for.” I […]

Remote healing

Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

This is weird, its an article about some 16 year old kid from Vancouver, who is supposedly some really successful remote healer. And he can cure cancer and crap. He also has some website, run by his dad, along with a book or something. His actual descriptions of how he does the healing sound pretty […]

Occult Revival!

Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

Here’s a tricky article that I only realized was hideously Christian after a few paragraphs. Usually, my radar goes off instantaneously for that sorta shit, but somehow this time it slipped past me. Anyway, its a dumb article, and I don’t really recommend reading it, but just wanted to make a note to myself about […]

mars 2112

Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

Hm… apparently, Laura Jane makes her triumphal return from Philadelphios today, and we have sort of plans to meet up with a friend of hers at a weird theme restaurant above Times Square called Mars 2112. It promises to be hilariously weird.
So guess what else! I finally made a pretty decent logo for the […]

To Oliver:

Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

Yeah, I find that Alan Watts stuff to be really good, but completely all over the map. I think one of the problems in those really long pieces he has is that they are transcribed lectures, and you can get away with jumping all around like that in person while speaking to people, in order […]

More monkey business

Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

Why are monkeys in India and related areas always crazy and making the news? This is kind of a scary story, about how one of their babies was accidentally electrocuted, and then they went ballistic.
One time, I saw a show on Discovery about elephants, and one guy told a story about how he saw […]

The Information Universe & Holograms

Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

I haven’t read it yet, but just found a seemingly awesome article on Scientific American called Information in the Holographic Universe, which apparently is about “new” theories that the universe is made up of information, and that its a giant hologram. These theories aren’t really new, but thats amazing that they are starting to gain […]

Wanting to scream at kids doesn’t make you a bad person

Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

Man, this morning I got on the subway, and it was totally packed, people standing up, which is unusual for a 10:20ish train to Manhattan on a weekday. So, I’m all like, “What the hell?” only to get on the train and see the source of the problem - about a million little kids in […]

Send for help if I’m not back in twenty minutes

Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

So, apparently, this domain is up for renewal, as of yesterday? I had no idea, but just got a note from my whack ass hosting company in Australia, that they tried to auto-renew it, but my card was declined. Ha! Suckers! Of course it was. Its an old card. Anyway, I’m going to try and […]

For a good time

Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

You know what I just found out? If you’re looking for a good time, put on a pair of headphones, and stand outside in the rain, listening to “I didn’t understand” by Elliot Smith, off the “XO” album (all of which is awesome). I only wish that I had a cigarette, because that would have […]
