Rain? Rain? But it's October, dadgummit. October's always the unseasonably pleasant month on our usually foggy penninsula. I'm not going to take this sitting down. I've only got a few weeks back and I'm not spending them bemoaning the fact that all my shoes have holes in them. Thankfully though, the weekend promises to be beautiful. After all, we've got the Bluegrass Festival this weekend and Mother Nature plays a mean lap steel.
Now then: enough about the weather. That's what people talk about when they have nothing to talk about. It's the classic awkward first date conversation: "So, how 'bout that sunshine?" when he'd rather be saying "So, how 'bout you take off your shirt and/or pants?" We're going to move along. I don't want this to be any more uncomfortable than it already is.
A few random notes today:
- LOST was pretty good last night...ok, who am I kidding? I was giddy during the first twenty minutes. Perhaps it was the wine. Particularly enjoyed the beginning, where all the Others were living in that tropical Levittown and then the plane crashed and then, as we know, island-themed madness ensued. As usual: more weirdness, less answers. As usual: Jack is annoying.
- I just saw a pidgeon with a limp do the Crip Walk. I wish the guy from American Beauty could've been there. Bag in the wind, my ass.
- Apparently, there's a lunatic in Atlanta who wants her child's school to ban all the Harry Potter books under the premise that they "promote the Wiccan religion." Here's the part where we all shake our heads and look dissapointed. I think she also wants to ban Curios George, as he promotes mischief and Clifford the Big Red Dog because he promotes large canine redness. I know: let's just burn all our books and have our kids watch Judge Joe Brown seven hours a day. They'd certainly know a lot about unpaid bills, Devry, and conosolidating their debts into one easy monthly payment. I've sent her an email of undying support.
- There's a show at the Rickshaw you should check out tonight if you're a San Franciscan. The Ex-Boyfriends, our studio neighbors and all around wonderful musicians are playing with Bound Stems from Chicago. And it's Thursday so the weekend starts (unofficially) today. Everyone knows Friday is for aggressive avoidance of anything that remotely resembles work. Might as well do it with an earache and a hangover.
- Lastly, I'd like to give you some erudite political insight. Ignored in this whole Mark Foley debacle is the incontrovertable truth that Dennis Hastert is a scary fat man who looks like a cross between Jabba the Hut, a turtle, and Drew Carey.

Firstly, it's been raining here (in Toronto) for the past two weeks, with the temperature dipping down to six degrees (celcious) at night. Today however there are people walking around in shorts (24 degrees). October, although a beatuiful month for colour changing tress, sucks for weather.
Second, my dog walks with a Crip limp. It's a trick I taught him to do as a puppy. Good times. And as far as the crazy mother wanting to ban Harry Potter...are you kidding me? I'd love to see kids practicing Wicca. Endless hours of fun in their room, not out on the streets. No need to pay their cell phone bills, 'cus they would always be home. Sounds like a plan to me.
Kasi: Couple things.
1- Wish I could've visited Toronto. However, a mustachioed border patrol man told me I could not.
2- In San Francisco, the trees are legally required to not change colors ever. It's rather sad.
3- Your dog = cool than me.
does anyone like jack? i certainly hope not.
BM: The nerve of that patrol man!Too bad you weren't allowed in to Toronto...we have TONS of Gummi Bears...in pink bags.
Anon: I always thought Jack was supposed to be a character for whom you were to feel sympathy. Wow---what a poorly constructed sentence. Or, rather: That was a sentence which was constructed by a construction which was poorly conceived and also equally poorly executed.
Glad to have you on my hate train.
Kasi: He was rather nice about it. But I still hate him. Don't torture me with tales of Gummis. Our entire tour was a gummi-less escapade of sadness. Actually, it was lovely. But conspicuously lacking in gummis.
I love the rain.. It Makes me want to stay home and sip coffee in my pj's while baking cookies.
Are you guys playing at the Warfield on the 18th for sure? $50 a person will be a waste if you're not there. I'll bring family, friends & gummi's.
BM: I apologize, as my intentional mention of the Gummi was only to give you a glimmer of hope for when you go back on tour and actaully make it to Toronto. Now you know to make this place your first stop (so you can stock up for the rest of the world and it's nongumminess).
those first 10 minutes restored any doubt i had about this season not living up to past. i'm easily convinced when it comes to the show, but that shot of ethan made me so happy to see him again, even if he was really creepy stealing babies.
don't you think it was a little too quick that henry gale/ben started shouting out orders after the plane crashed? how would he know people would survive? the plane split in two, hmmm.
jack is annoying. and going a little bit crazy.
all i wanna know is who that kid was that got out of the cage, and why if i had to chose sides...i'd go with the others. i love this show.
Sabrina: Regular tickets are just $10. And yes, we're playing. There will be copious merriment.
Kasi: You're right. I must look on the bright side. I'll bring an extra suitcase for the gummis. To Canada!
Rachael: There you are. I knew I could tempt you with LOST. To answer: Fenry Gale is the man, that's why. The kid is...who knows. I bet a baby they took a while ago. Just a hunch. And what the hell are they doing to Kate? I hope she goes apescat on non-beardo.
yeah but $10 gets you trapped at the top balcony. I like the lower part with the counter (for leaning/standing support since there's that $50 minimum tab) by the bar with view of the very nice bartender with all the tattoos.
Patiently awaiting Merriment!
Rain, true. But it's supposed to hit the 80's this weekend. At least in the east bay it is.
And I don't know anything about "Lost". I do know that Dancing with the Stars is stellar this season. Emitt smith knows the moves! Yeah, baby!
i dont know why, but i like zeke too. i'm sure you are taken aback by the sudden loss of his beard. it's okay, i am too. i kept on asking if that was really him.
he seems nice, no? okay, maybe that's just me.
kate must have not wanted to eat with good ol fenry, which i think was a poor decision. that food looked much better than the fish cracker. and her wrists probably thought the same.
locke? eko? they better be alive.
I like to think that Hastert looks sort of like Cartman from last night's episode of South Park. Cartman AFTER he got really fat by playing hours and hours of WoW.
Love the whole randomness and whining thing.
Course, haven't got a clue when it comes to LOST. I don't think we are up to the same level here in Oz. But then, I don't usually watch it either. Sorry BM, not because I don't like it, but because by then, it's getting past my pumpkin hour and I have to be abed. Like I should be now - I am working hard trying to avoid work.....
Why, does it always seem that there is a crazy middle aged woman somewhere hating on Harry Potter? Really, is the book that horrible?
Found your blog on "blogs of note". I've spent that last 5 minutes laughing my arse off. Good job.
hey there...i just read yr site. if u could, would u pls help me out with my template for my blog?? i've tried changin it, but something keeps going wrong...could u help me get a better template. i dont liek the one i have at the moment.
thanks a lot.

Dear Sirs:
Rains is not always a bad thing, although I understand how you feel. On another note, unfortunately, Mr. Hastert's predicament is not one to be taken lightly, as he will only continue to expand! Let's hope he does not block out the sun.
Keep up the great "blogging."
Clare: Good call. I'd like to remove turtle from my list & add extra-fat Cartman. I refuse to budge on Jabba or Drew Carey.
SOL's view: LOST is actually worth a trip to a video store for season 1. It's rather fantastic. In fact, I lied on the couch after dental surgery & watched nearly 7 hours worth. I was on copious painkillers, however. Might have something to do with...something.
SammyMarie: No idea. Stay away from my Potter, though. I take it rather seriously. I hope that woman gets Avada Cadavra'd.
GH: a) obviously. b) the hobbit needs to die. c) send the trimmings to me in a small brown sack.
shrishk: I have little to no knowledge of html. I pay a high schooler in India to do all my coding.
Dicconzane: Doesn't that sound like a fun place to live? All that book banning. It'd be like entering a little mini-facist state. Little Brother, if you will.
Big Kahuna: I like rain. I don't like rain in October before the niceness. Hastert survives only on Cheese Whiz, congeled fat, and dog food. Just a rumor though.
