all i want is a logo-free baseball tee, can you find one for me?

you are being lied to.

so, you watch sex and the city and you see them hang out at tao and denial and you're all "ooh la la, living in new york is so glamorous!"

if sex and the city really wanted to keep it real though, they'd devote a few episodes to the following:
a) construction- i can't even begin to tell you how many huge gaping holes in the road i've seen since i've lived here. most of the time they're digging a huge hole in the ground in the middle of an uber-busy intersection (like, 14th and broadway) for no reason, and not even god can get anywhere without murmuring a few nasty words.
b) dogs-everybody that lives in the city owns at least 27 dogs. they're everywhere, and you can't go anywhere without seeing at least 5 dogs in the middle of a bowel movement. it's disturbing, but you can't help but watch.
c) mario batali-i can't get away from him. rockwell should write a song about him.

as of 11 pm last night, we have cable tv again, so i spent a good hour and change just blindly flicking through the channels in zombie-like awe. brooklyn community access tv looks to be, hands down, the most deliciously horrible channel ever. and what i saw of home movies i rather enjoyed. which brings me to the rhetorical question of the day: why is it that adult oriented animated programs seem to be far more enjoyable than 99% of the live action programming on tv? is it the writing, or have years of watching cartoons completely warped me for life?

random noteworthy sonicnet news bit of the day. so, are weezer really considered emo or is this typical mainstream rock media genre name dropping?

oy vey, school's back in so the high school dj's on wber are playing nothing but noise. it's times like this that 1groove.com comes in very handy. check out nick holder's after hours for some of the sexiest, deepest, soulful house (this guy is without a doubt my biggest influence right now). also check out mitch winthrop's keys to the house for some more big roomish prog-tech-tribal stuff (with a special guest set by rich woods this week featuring my favorite nygel reiss track, yay).

so, what does one do after having been possessed by the devil? you go vegan, of course!

another mario batali sighting today. i swear that guy does nothing but buy food all day.

remember alf? remember the guy that smoked crack?

i've got to stop fantasizing about lee majors.

oh dear.

bejeweled is digital crack, one of those games that take over your life within about two seconds of playing it. this is the most addictive game i've played since tetris, don't make the mistake of trying it while at work (unless your boss is out of town).

oh, darn, it was just mold.

i went down to vinyl last night to hear my pal rich woods open for danny. vinyl is only a few blocks away from ground zero, and it felt really weird being down there. also, for the first time in weeks i smelled that smell again, it was a bit of a somber walk to and from the club.

yay, they found it! i was wondering where it went.

twice this week i've passed mario batali on the street. i didn't stop to say hi to him though because his show is annoying and even more carnivorous than emeril's, and i'd have to tell him that they should put melting pot and curtis aikens' cancelled show in prime time instead. i don't think he'd like that very much.

my friend ken draws the comic "my monkey's name is jennifer" available soon at a geeky comic store near year you. go here and click on the center picture for a look, and then buy the comic when it comes out.

at work, the accounting system we use is made by oracle, and everynow and then it gives me the this error message for absolutely no reason- "an error has occurred while trying to commit". whenever i see it i always feel like saying "yeah, tell that to my ex" even though i don't have an "ex". then i go to follow me around for all the latest radiohead news.

you may have seen it on a random web site, a t-shirt, a sticker, wherever, this odd phrase, "all your base are belong to us". well, now you'll know where it came from and you can rest in peace.

odd update for the day: treach from naughty by nature is doing porn. who knew?

HAPPY VEGETARIAN DAY!!!
