I feel like crap today. I have some type of cold or something. So I’m drinking a lot of water and having to pee every ½ hour, it sucks. I know I’m going to have to pee like a hundred times tonight while I’m trying to watch the Matrix. Glad you got your car back Joel, at least the idiot had enough sense to leave you some SF59. Yo Mary, Koufax is coming to play near Fresno, check it out: http://www.koufaxmusic.com/gigs/

"I think most Scottish cuisine is based on a dare." What movie is this from? If you know, then you’re a true cult fan.

The new Alkaline Trio is rockin me, as I expected, and they rocked on Conan last night. I played bball yesterday. Getting old sucks. Every time after I play ball now my knees hurt for several days, that sucks. Mary, I think Bruce Almighty would be fun, we can’t wait to come up, make sure you send us directions. Also, you may be into this band calle The Start, has chick singer, there website is www.thestart.org. They have some audio samples on the site. I really like the show Lucky that is on the FX channel. I have a weird liking for Las Vegas, well, shows or movies set in Vegas, cause I really don’t like to gamble, and the place is filthy with sin, but it always looks so cool and fun on TV or movies, much different to be there first hand though.

Ok, yesterday I was just thinking about Gangs of New York and how I can’t believe that Scorsese got punked by a stupid musical. The more I think about the movie Chicago, the more sick I get, it was a waste of space. I realize this is just my opinion, but the movie was truly boring, even John C Reily was not that great, although the best part of the movie for sure. I just think the movie sucked and Scorsese deserved it, not a bunch of idiots running around singing. I mean hey, I liked Grease, it’s ok to have musicals as movies, but not as the best picture, cmon? (sorry Emily). The Hot Chick was a better movie than Chicago, and I didn’t even see the Hot Chick. Well, I’m done with that. I know it’s a little belated, but had to get it out.

The Lakers lost so that’s good and tomorrow the new Matrix finally gets here. I’m feeling a bit sick today and I have a cough. Hope you have a good trip Justin.

Has it been a whole week of non-bloggin? Guess so, and it felt good. Not much happened last week anyway, but this week, look out, let me break it down to you. Tonight Tracey and I going to a free screening of the movie Owning Mahoney starring Phillup Seymore Hoffman. I got this email last week from the local Indie theatre offering the tickets to the first 150 people who responded to the email, and I got two tickets, so that’s rad (speaking of Rad, I saw a dude on Saturday wearing a Rad t-shirt, from the actual movie Rad about BMX’ers in the 80’s, great movie). Then Tuesday marks the release of the new Alkaline Trio CD, and they are on Conan Obrien as well. Then Thursday is the big day, getting to finally see the Matrix Reloaded, so I am super excited about this week.

Lets backtrack, congrats to my brother Justing for (finally) graduating from college, good work. Now you can do what most people do, go work in a field not related to their major. I’m excited for you to go to England, have fun. I wanted to send you some music before you left, but I kept forgetting. I’ve gotta get you Wayne Everett’s new cd (from LF), you’ll be into it. And for my first installment of my favorite heroes, I’m going with the Mullet guy from Ghost World, I love that guy, and he was sticking up for his rites, so I think he is a hero.

For you BG people, SF59 will be in Ann Arbor on June 11, don’t blow it and miss them, I think it’s at the Blind Pig. Saturday Tracey and I checked out this big block party event in Pacific Beach and it pretty much sucked. It was like a giant meat market, a very Mardi Gras feel to it. We went to see one of our current fav bands called Convoy, and they pretty much sucked as well, and the PA system kept going out and they were getting pissed. But I did have dozens of people thinking I was Johnny Knoxville, you’d have to see me to understand. We also rented Two Weeks Notice and Real Women Have Curves, both were decent. And I actually enjoyed SNL this week. I don’t watch American Idol, but their spoof of it had Tracey and I rolling. I also started watching the first season of the HBO series OZ. I borrowed it from a friend at work. It’s disturbing but intriguing. We also went to OB all Sunday afternoon and got fried. So now I’m fat and sun burned. Lakers suck.
