Zook INcandenZA

I saw you looking at the girl like that/I saw her too,boy,I know right where yer at/but you better be careful cos she ain't the kind yer gon' forget/how much you wanna bet?

Goddamn Steve Earle is a genius. I was trying to put him into words for
Kenoki, but all I could come up with was some gibberish about him sounding like a bluesman who got reincarnated into the 80's but the stipulation was he had to do shit loads of coke and heroin and go to jail for a while before he could be really good. Que-ev, he's good. Recommended if you like Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, the Boss, the Stones, blues circa-1930-1950.

Straightleggedkick are way emo genius. Matt cuddles with his girlfriends, Scott writes love poems, Rick likes the Powderpuff Girls, and Mjarc once cried at a Jeremy Enigk solo show. Plus, they have a song called "My Sweater is A part of your heart". Doesn't matter that that's what I call it, and that it's real title is "video girl".

Sometimes I get lonesome for Catholic Church.

The best way to win at Scattergories is to spend an entire semester pretending you know everything about books/movies/music, and then when you get those types of categories you just make shit up that has the letter three times like "Going, Going, Gone" or "Absalom, Absalom, Absalom" people are just like "Wow!" and they give you the points. Then again, that sorta makes the point of the game mute. Let 'em riot.

In honor of GregStatic:
Read: "Underworld" by Don DeLillo, "Letters to a Young Contrarian" by Christopher Hitchens,
Deep in the shade of paradise by John Dufresne.
Listen: "El Corazon" by Steve Earle; "How I Do" by Res; "You Can Count on Me" soundtrack; the "are you wearing a wire" song from the hey mercedes demos.
Look: PTA's new movie; Chicago Shows;
(The)David Foster Wallace (machine).
