Chicago: customers are advised to allow extra travel time

My iPod has really been wanting me to listen to "Steal My Sunshine" by Len a lot. Fortunately I kind of love that song.

My iPod likes Booker T and the MGs. I can't say I blame it.

This one:

wow. that article is rich!

"We have access to tow trucks that could have handled a Polish sausage, not just a hot dog," Smith said."

and

"The entourage got a grilling from the officer."

Makes me nostalgic for Al's Fun in the Bun.

DAMN This pretzels/craisins/peanuts trail mix I made is delish.

ha! (xp to j)

oooh! sounds awesome, sarah!

Makes me say my, my, my.

Hey, I wish I had my way
'Cause everyday would be a Friday
You could even speed on the highway
I would play ghetto games
Name my kids ghetto names
Little Mookie, big Al, Lorraine

I agree with all that except for speeding on the highway. I would prefer everyone drive the speed limit, including myself.

No one would speed on the highway

If ghetto games include watching a bunch of 20/30 somethings trying to play double dutch, then I already do that.

Big Al J@mmerm@n.

I went to college with a dude everyone called Big Al. He wore loafers and had a 6 ft bong he bragged about constantly.

I know a couple of Big Als. They're big.

Sounds like the perfect son.

Bong envy

Yes, Ed.

Sure, Ed! And in Helsinki only a week prior, huh?

For some reason, I started a Myspace page for my solo project. There's nothing on there yet, but hopefully I'll get some new songs up there soon. Once I write and record them.

OH the point is, you should be myspace friends with me.

How do you do the thing where you make your profile look all crazy, like with different colors and whatnot?

I think this afternoon I'm going to go to the practice space and record some junk.

Will there be hot beats?

I also need to mix down the song I recorded on garageband a few weeks ago, which is called "Weirdo in the Yard."

It is pretty warm in our practice space.

xposts CSS and/or one of those custom "PIMP MY PAGE!" things.

where do you find page pimps?

I want my page to be all bright yellow.

I am thrilled that in CS3, you can create a Flash photo gallery with Photoshop. Automated! It exports the html, the images, thumbnails, javascript, and xml in a matter of seconds. People are going to shit when they see this. It looks like I did so much work!

Ok.
I started a St0ne F0x page a while ago, but couldn't figure out how to make my garageband/itunes aif files into mp3s. SO SAD.

Stuff like this http://www.newmyspace.com/

I haven't gotten to play with any of the fun new CS3 features except for in Illustrator. And even then I really haven't done much. I do have a password for a 90-day free trial use of Lynd@.com related to all things Adobe, though... perhaps I should brush up.

MySpace suxxxx.

Get with it, grandpa.

I haven't worked on an original music for months. :( Mostly frustrated by not having the space/gear to record drums, because I'm kind of sick of cutting them up on the computer. Also sick of thin synth sounds and limited compositional skills.

But on the plus side, my partner in crime is moving back here from Chicago to work at a studio, so that might solve all of the above problems.

The photoshop/flash/dreamweaver integration is v v impressive. It's a fantastic tool for web development.

Still making me sad, for the sixth straight year.

I haven't done much at all recently, been too busy with FF and wedding stuff plus no practice space for a while.

Now would be a good time for a National Solo Album Month type thing, where just doing a bunch of stuff (and fast) is more important than lasting quality.

Yeah, I have been playing a lot of gigs and practicing a lot, and historically I only start fucking around with recording when I'm not doing those things.

I just don't really have much time by myself, like ever. I write singles reviews and read books/magazines while I'm on the train, and I write blog posts at work (haven't been able to do that much lately since I've been busy).
