ZooK

Some called it suicide, when she fell to the street, from 18 stories high, some called it a sad and desperate way to die. But no one around here was giving her any reason to try...

The password is: Fred McGriff. Nothing better***1*** in the world than hearing yer favorite team has picked up the final piece to a puzzle that has stumped motherfookers twice my I.Kew for 92 odd years. Fuck you, goat. It's the Cub's year.

Cruised to the King's Nuts and was ashamed and discouraged to find that I have 6 of Jason's phobias. And that's only through the letter "A"....Maybe all of my fears start with "A", and I'll go 0 fer 25 through Z. Although I was afraid of the letter "Z" as a child, so I'm sure that starts with "Z".

And if you take the review section of Rolling Stone seriously, yer (in the words of Def Leppard) "Bringing on the heartache". They absolutely refuse to give any release less than 2.5 stars. They still pay Anthony Decurtis, who called Lester Bangs a "hack", when in fact Mr.Decurtis is under that word in the dictionary. All major market publication rock critics are fucking morons. You need only watch fifteen minutes of VH1 documentaries or those stupid MTV "retrospective" shows to find exactly who is/are writing these awful testimonials. Specifically here I'm thinking of that Red-Headed, cross-eyed slug woman on MTV, and that guy with the huge divot under his nose from VH1. They all suck.

But I want their jobs.

Go Cubs.

The new Jimmy Eat World record is not-so-great, after further inspection. Could use a little less talk and a lot more action.***2*** Or maybe a little less tomfoolery. And what is it with Davey from the Promise Ring, and his borderline psychotic obsession with the lyric "why did we ever meet?" I think that's about the 50th time he's used that. Someone missed their window of opportunity.

Next five: "winding wheel" by ryan adams; "the authority song" by jimmy eat world; "stay six" by the hey mercedes diversion; "take me out to the ballgame"; and "title track" by dcfc.

in the stereo: cubs 3 st.losers 3

***1***except talking to Ryan for hours on the phone, me smiling the whole time especially when she described her future kids as "barbarians".
***2***Note: the second Top 40 country music reference of the month. Wouldn't Hank be proud...
