i was doing the standard web surfing and found this guys page that used to live in japan. it was a crack up. he listed a bunch of japanese products that had english slogans on them, but apparantly the translator fell asleep at the wheel. you'll have to check it out.

so, my wife talks a lot in her sleep. it's really funny. like, some real weird stuff. so i started documenting it. as soon as i hear her start talking, i'll run over to the computer and bust open notepad and start typing and asking her questions to try and figure out what she's talking about. so, for your amusement, i'm keeping a running journal of her words. click on the link above to check out the latest. also, saw the ring today. i was alone. it was the scariest thing i've seen in a long time. go. if you dare.

10.25.02 my tickets just arrived for Low at the el rey in november. man, i'm stoked for that show. the last time i saw Low was at the el rey, and they blew my mind. everyone was silent while they played. total reverence for this band. check out their new album, "trust", if you get the chance. or any album for that matter. not a lot to say about Low. a lot to be said, but i don't know if i'm in the mood to say it.

i had a friend one time who was walking by mcdonalds and in the dumpster he saw a full-sized hamburglar. like the ones they used to have in the old mcdonalds playlands. yeah, a full-sized, three dimensional, fiberglass, hamburglar. so he and a friend grabbed it and took it home and put it in the deck of their apartment. he wanted to bring it inside but he couldn't fit it through the sliding glass door. so for the longest time he had this hamburglar out on his deck just looking in the house. just waiting out there. waiting for my friend to come home from mcdonalds with a big mac. i didn't trust him. a known felon. having boasted to billions and billions just how much he loved those burgers. don't trust the hamburglar.

so, while at school yesterday, one of the kids in my class was called out by an instructor. we all just figured he was busted for somthing. that's always the first thing you assume. "what did you do?" why did somebody always do something? maybe he just wanted to see how this student was doing. "how's it going? everything okay? you're grades seem to be pretty good." or maybe there was an emergency at home... he seemed a little off when he got back to the classroom, so on the next break, some wiseacre prodded, "so, what did you do?" (ha, ha real funny. you'd better hope it wasn't...) it was weird, he was kind of quiet for second (that wasn't the weird part) and then he said, "a little bit ago, somebody drove by and shot at my house. they killed one of my family members." (believe it or not, that wasn't even the weirdest part) when everyone asked him in shock if he was okay, he said, "yeah, i'm fine, it's cool." that was the weird part. you could tell that he was severely shaken, but the man in him wouldn't let it show. he did a pretty good job of hiding it. waaayyyyy better than i would have. i would've bailed right then. he stayed for the rest of class. tough.

why do i get lazy when i have to go to school? i don't leave until 1600 hours and i've blown my whole morning doing nothing. what a waste of time. and everytime i think, "you know, next time i'm really going to do something productive." it never happens.

when you get a chance, read this article on the onion. it's great. if you like yo la tengo, you may want to pass. unless you have a sense of humor, then you're cool. not much been going on lately. i guess that everyone's excited around here about the angels getting into the world series. it's cool i guess. i'm not really into sports. so...there goes that pasttime.
