You must try the new ice cream flavor

[Bizarro]

Not only is it an Os Mutantes reference, but seriously, try the new ice cream flavor:

They call this line of flavors "five" because that's the exact number of ingredients each has. Awe. Some.

In other news....

Since Jeff invalidated my post by switching topics, I'm gonna post it here:


I'm going to the dentist this afternoon. I haven't been to the dentist in forever, so I'm a little nervous...

Actually, I'm really scared.

[Bizarro]

You really are scared? Shit man, I'm sorry. At least you have the guts to go.

There's a dentist near me with a sign that says "We cater to cowards." Always liked that.

just think of all the good painkillers you'll get.

When I was sixteen, I had some moderate to serious dental work done and they gave me nitrous. The doctor would give a twist, then say "Can you feel that?" No matter what, I just kept saying "Yes" until finally he realized I was lying and by then, I was sky high. I had to hang out in their lobby for a few hours after the procedure before I was clear-headed enough to drive home. Worth it, though.

[Tripp]

I've done that..

how was everyone's weekend?

I've never tried the french fry experiment, but apparently you can let McD's french fries sit out for months.  And if you fry them up again they taste just the same as the day they were made.

aw man.  i guess i should stop throwing them away!

(also...dig the new avatar, kurt.  don't know who it is, but possibly my favorite comic related avatar yet.  i particularly like the fried eggs on his head.)

Kurt's got the classic BRAINIAC (Superman villain) as his avatar.

Mine was kinda fucked up.

I left midday thursday with godawful chest pain.    Went to ER, cuz my dr was on vacation and insurance company said I should.     They did EKG and lung xrays and found nothing.     Which is kinda nice, I'm always wondering how my lungs are coping with my smoking enjoyment.    The best they could figure was that I pinched or tore my thorassic membrane in my sleep.     Anyhoo.. by friday night I was totally fine.  phew.


Jason and Aaron from Grandaddy played in the city on saturday, but I had the boys so I couldnt go.  But I met up with them at Coney Island early in the day.    Boardwalk Daquiris, roller coasters, splashin in the ocean.    It was a right proper Saturday.

how was everyone's weekend?

super crazy busy nights at the restaurant both friday and saturday nights. both of which were followed by copious amounts of alcohol.   goddamn i felt like shit yesterday.  which made working at sluggo's last night painful.   BUT,  i did manage to somehow get myself into a neil young cover band with terry from this bike is a pipe bomb and a couple other girls.  apparently, sluggo's is hosting an all-tribute band night late august. something like 10+bands who all pick an artist and do 4-5 song sets.  terry was telling me about "cinnamon girls",  the all female ny cover band she's formed for the event.  they needed an extra guitarist and somehow i got myself nominated.  looks like i'm gonna have to look into some junk tuck methods.  and possibly find a dress.

I suggest something with a Victorian collar.    The adam's apple is always the vibe-killer.

(collective  sigh of relief)

also....i loooove roller coasters. especially accompanied with amusement park frozen libations.  other than the er,  weekend envy ensues.

i was thinking something of the pentacost variety.  shoulder pads and lace collar.  maybe an artificial hair bun. no worries on the adams apple, though.  we hefty scotch-irish types have plenty of neck fat to keep that from becoming an issue.  i'm more worried about my guitar playing.  i'm no neil, that's for sure.

sheesh, capn- i'm so glad everything was okay with the chest pain and everything. blargh, that stuff is so scary, huh?
