In approximately 24 hours I will be eating Sonic. Sonic Sonic Sonic. It’s been way too long for me, like 8 months. We are leaving tonight to go visit my sis and thick up north. We are very excited (except for the traffic) and it has been a long time coming. Yesterday Tracey and waved to some Mormons on their bikes and they waved back. I’m finally starting to feel better, but not 100%. At the moment I wish I was in school again, cause I would be off for the summer. Despite being still a bit sick, I did go play some bball in LaJolla last night and I sucked, very badly. And, I have to say I’m pretty excited that the Cavs are going to get Bron Bron, let the bandwagoning begin. I hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend. Out.

"Let's go away for a while
You and I
To a strange and distant land
Where they speak no word of truth
But we don't understand anyway

Holiday
far away to stay
on a Holiday
Far away Let's go today
In a Heartbeat!

Don't bother to pack your bags
Or your map
We won't need them where we're goin'
We're goin' where the wind is blowin'
Not knowin' where we're gonna stay

We will write a postcard
To our friends and family
In free verse

On the road with Kerouac
Sheltered in his Bivouac
On this road we'll never die...
Let's go away!"
-Weezer

I forgot to go pick up the new SF59 last night cause I came home and went to bed from 5 till 10pm. Then stayed up till 3:30am. I hate being sick. It’s been a week now. Everyday it’s a new thing, this sucks. But I did get up in time to watch NYPD Blue and tape Lucky. Both were good, except it’s already getting kinda old in Lucky when he keeps getting suckered by women and then ripped off, don’t you think so Dad? There is not much else to report. Thanks Lars for the review of SF59, and you better go see them. We are going up to see Mary, my sister this weekend and go camping, so I hope I’m feeling good enough to do all that. I’m more worried about having to fight through LA both on the way there and back, it’s gonna be horrible. And good job goes out to the Indians for last nights last at bat win over the crappy Tigers.

“Michael Jackson is suing Motown Records over lost royalties from when he was with the Jackson Five. But Motown says they are not liable because they made the agreement with a black man named Michael Jackson and they have no idea who this guy is?” Conan O’Brien

And here are the answers to my movie quotes from the other day.

2. “I'm into murders and executions!” American Psycho

3. “Alright, you primitive screwheads, listen up: THIS... is my BOOM STICK!” Army of Darkness

4. “They say money can't buy happiness? Look at the smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby.” Boiler Room

5. “Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber.” The Big Lebowski

6. “Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K” Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure

7. “Wake up! Time to die!” Blade Runner (I knew you’d know this one Dad)

Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?” High Fidelity

I liked the Matrix: Reloaded as much as the first one, but Reeves was still as bad as he can be at acting. If he could just fight and not talk, the movies would be so much better, oh well. Thanks Mike for the heads up on the preview for Matrix3 at the end of the credits, worth the wait. Tracey and I also saw Down With Love and I kinda liked it. Ewan was great and the dialogue was very tight and funny. It was very cheesy, but on purpose, and it worked well. But I still don’t like Renee Zellwhateverhernameis, but she was ok in this one. I was basically sick all weekend and stayed on the couch, except for the movie going. We rented Spirted Away, and, well, not sure what to say. Very weird, and long and strange. I liked parts of it, but overall I didn’t really like it, sorry Mike and Justin. I also watched the second season of OZ on DVD and it was as messed up as the first season, but so good, not for the faint of heart. I’m still feeling a little sick, that half way point of feeling better but still feeling crappy, which stinks cause Pedro is playing tonight, but not sure if I can make it. Next Friday I get finally see the Flaming Lips. And SF59’s new LP hits stores tomorrow. They are playing a CD release show in Hollywood, but I can’t make that. How much more boring can the Eastern Conference NBA games be? And why can’t Baez close a game? Lastly, I want to welcome Ryan (Tracey’s brother) to the blog family, check him out @: http://goatrider.blogspot.com
