How about them Ataris? I'm diggin' that 'Boys of Summer' track right now. It's so... summery.

Speaking of summer - Beautiful HOT Friday afternoon... and it was my first flex day too! For those not down with Gov't lingo, I work a compressed work week, meaning I work extra every day to get every 2nd Friday off. So I woke up and made grand plans for what I would do with this glorious day of free time. Yep. I was on a mission to buy a new rice cooker as my old piece of shizzat Betty Crocker has been incapacitated for the past month. If rice cookers had doctors, I'd diagnose it as a severe case of leprosy. The non stick coating in the cooker is doing just that... NOT sticking to the cooker, opting instead to add flavourful little metal shavings to my rice. Can never get enough iron, strontium, lead, zinc, and insert metal compound name here in one's diet, can we? Anyways, you know what happens when a guy sets out on a mission. He gets sidetracked looking at/ following girls in miniskirts... which is how I ended up walking into Chapters, found myself spending my alloted rice cooker budget on William S. Burrough's 'Naked Lunch' and Philip K. Dick's 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep'... and am now STUCK with a leprotic cooker.

So THIS is why I only received 81 spam emails over 8 days of not checking... I had the rest forwarded to my agnosticmonkey account.



500+ in 8 days. Incredible...

You know you lead an exciting life when the toughest decision in your day is: should I drive to the laundromat and do laundry or wear multiday-old underpants. I don't know how I manage this hectic pace...

And now, a word from my city: Reason number 32 why you should come to Vancouver - The Eels are playing here on July 13th with special guest... MC HONKY!!! Get your tix NOW! Word.

ahhhhhhh.... (read that as a big sigh of relief)... I'm back online finally. No more of this dark ages dial up. And there's so much to tell, but I think I'll leave the lesbians at the Lotus Lounge story for another time. Just imagine 2 girls making out, and hands disappearing into each other's pants in the middle of a dance floor... yummy.

So apparently, croquet is all the rage now. Yes, I've got a first hand testimonial from my good friend about how much she enjoys getting croquet sets for birthdays/ anniversaries. Scrap that diamond earring gift idea. Mallets and balls are where it's at! And if she's already got a croquet set? The only thing as good as getting her ANOTHER set would be to buy her a shovel...

On a side note, do they make electric shovels? I mean, if you can get electric mowers, why not a powered shovel?

I just had a flash of brilliance, and remembered this pic. Nevermind imagining the lesbians thing, just drool at this.
