Did you know that Ben Folds wrote/produced some or all of William Shatner’s new cd? I read a review on Pitchforkmedia.com and they actually liked it, and that site is pretty snobby about music. I am jealous that Folds is coming to BGSU, figures he’d do that after I moved. Tracey and I had a mini party on Saturday. The Andys came down from LA and our usual SD friends came over as well. We were supposed to go to the OB Oktoberfest, but never made it. Solid time. Sunday we did our usual Encinitas surf run and caught some great pizza afterwards with the Andys. Last night was a bit of a bummer with the Astros losing and hearing about Ken Caminiti dying. I’m currently boycotting Starbucks due to their recent price increase. I bought my own Chai mix from the store and can now get 4 cups of Chai for what it used to cost me for one at SB.

Let me just say that all this political crap is driving me crazy. Besides the big presidential race, there is all kinds of other California crap to deal with. We just got a California voters guide for November and it’s 70 pages of small print, who has time for all that reading? There are all these propositions and Indian gambling things, it’s ludicrous. I really hope for the stros tonight.
