For making me miss this Saturday night (along with some Husker Du songs & stuff from the solo career with everything in between)
At least it won't cause me to miss Jonathan Richman tonight. I've never seen him live & I am super duper pumped. Maybe a review tomorrow if I feel up to it. Or, just find me out somewhere & ask me about it. That always works too.
About 2 weeks ago I got these new running shoes for only $80 (which may sound like a lot of $, but Air Max 360s usually go for about $160. I've only been able to run in them a few times (due to busyness/laziness/etc) and they've been giving me many blisters. Although I think once I break them in a little more I'll be fine. I may or may not wear them at the MEN show tonight at the Grog, since I know it's not a good idea to wear running shoes in everyday life. But anyway, I hope MEN plays this tune tonight since I've had it in my head since I woke up this morning
Speaking of this morning, I actually got my ass out of bed early enough to head over to McDonald's & get a free McSkillet Burrito. Since I had never tried one previously, here is my expert opinion in one word: fine. Not bad, not great. I'm not one to eat a lot in the morning, and I especially tend not to eat food containing taco sauce in early hours.
Went to Music Saves & got some records today, one of which was the 180 gram vinyl reissue of Cat Power's Moon Pix (her best album if you ask me). I'll also say that she's never looked better than she did in the "Cross Bones Style" video:
So the Democratic debate is going on at Cleveland State University as I type this. But, my mind is already made up. I don't need to see & hear Obama & Mrs. Bill Clinton tell me a bunch of bullshit that neither of them will likely follow up on. I'll just base my vote on that age old adage
Vote Obama in 08!
(And thanks to the turntablelab blog for publishing the above pic before me. I saw it on their blog first but they probably got it from someone else just like I did.)
It's so nice outside today. I actually got an outdoor fun run in yesterday without even having to bundle up! The high temp is supposed to 68 today. Fuck yeah. Get outside! Have fun! Watch this video!
