i've just discovered a shure fire way to stop hiccups.
get a good yawn in.
then don't drink and focus on steady breathing for the next full minute.
gone.
seriously.

i didn't know that it was possible, but last night at the Bottom Lounge we had our collective Hiru-ass handed to us by Russian Circles and Tristeza. Thank you both. I might be in some trouble today if i didn't have my ass with me. Really great bands.
Tristeza, i don't know how to say this...but i think i'm in love with you.
i would also like to say to a certain other band/person:
get over yourself.
you're not fooling anyone.

on remaking vince neil:
why does the singer of motley crue who is known for songs such as 'shout at the devil' have stuffed animal puppies in his closet?

over the past week or so i have been obsessing over the 20 gb ipod. i've had dreams portraying the joy of cruising around the city listening to seemingly endless tunes. blues and jazz is what i had planned to load it up with. i've been getting kind of sick of the same old stuff i've been listening to for ...how many years now? oscar peterson trio is a huge breath of fresh air to me. but that is what i've been freaking over. so today i finally turned the thinker/monetary figurer-outer off and strolled over to target and bought one.
came home knowing that it was only windows 2000 or better compatible, i hoped for some weird computer thingy to just work out and things would be cool anyway.
but no such luck. my computer is a dinosaur and i'm running on windows 98. and it is definitely not compatible. i can't afford to upgrade right now either.
suck.
i guess the ipod is just not in the cards for me at this point in time.
crap.
