dust dog.

truth is stranger than fiction.

ridiculously high standards.

even though i could kill you with a tray if i so wished.

gee it's hot, let's go to bed.

it was cold and it rained so i felt like an actor.

tears of the feeble, hands of the slaves.

i'll be going down for the rest of the slide.

what's going on?

be on my side.

i'll be on your side, baby.

and i got a glimpse of my innocence.

got back my inner sense.



baby got it, still got it.

two steps ahead of him.

german chocolate, apple, and key lime.

this is what we did tonight.

a blizzard baby grows up.

he sure does.

what’s the difference between me and you?

my hands are cold.

she's got electric boots, a mohair suit.

i'm kind of obsessed with buh-buh-buh-bennie & the jets lately...



but nothing beats this:



check the percussionist and the back-up singers. classic.

and somehow these led me to this:



trust me, it's worth it for the last 20 secs.

tryin' hard to look like gary cooper.

super-duper.

love or death?

why are you so fat?

probably too much sugar. or salt.

the best video games in town.

i was feeling kind of down the past few days -- you know, the kind of feeling you get when all the cash you have is going towards this month's rent even though your car's brakes sound like the bones of infidels grinding in hell and it's embarrassing -- not to mention dangerous -- to drive and you should really get them fixed now but you still drive to ralphs at 9pm to turn in all your change at the coinstar so you can buy sliced turkey and bread to use for lunch all week.



but then i found this:



holy cow. i've watched this so many times today that i know every nuance, and my head might explode at this point. i even posted a comment on youtube for the first time ever -- just to let whoever made this know how brilliant they are. it kicked my ass out of the bullshit. i didn't spend the day sitting around moping, pretending to work -- no, i reclaimed my lust for life, my quest for knowledge, my creative drive.

with this reinvigorated sense of discovery and open-minded-ness, i was able to learn many things today. like for instance, i had NO IDEA that the lead singer of powerman 500 (or is it 5000?) is rob zombie's younger brother. and i also didn't know (but always had a strong suspicion that) i'm psychic (well, maybe not psychic, but a good reader of people -- a girl came into our office today, and everyone thought she was pretty hot. turns out she's a virgin, and as soon as i heard that i said "she's a mormon" and BAM... she's from utah! which probably means i'm right about someone else in the office having a raging coke habit...). and i always knew what a great song elvin bishop's "fooled around and fell in love" is, but never realized that i wish it had been my prom theme. and there was another thing i learned, but i forgot what that was.

thanks video game underground!

i love america.

seriously. i fucking love it.
