That night at Ken's when that guy ripped us off
Borrowed a gun to get him, we were so pissed off
Shot his leg, he was a dick anyways.

All summer long, we refused to die
We just slept in the Bug and got high
And all we'd steal, we lit up on the ferris wheel.

And all your dreams, and oh, God blessed your soul
Saw through the hole in your head
But we couldn't have been dead
'cause you stood up in bed and said,
"I wasn't wavin' goodbye, I was sayin' hello."

Felt good to burn
Felt like a movie star
When you hold my slippery brain
Kiss my forehead.

"The Great Salt Lake" by Juno

He awakes to the dull light trying to force its way in around the edges of the blanket. He's thrown up in front of the window. The room's painted a somber yellow-gold. In the dark, it goes a soft, formless shade of nothing. He thinks, This is where I'm coming from. The dark suits me.

A disaster of clothes, books, papers, food and blankets greet him wherever he moves. It makes him nervous. He's only ever comfortable in his car and he hates driving. Rock and roll will never die, he thinks. Rock and roll will never die.

"But my God, it deserves to."

He wonders what's been going on. The same shit. New show but the same script. The party rages on he's sure.

Now that she's gone, it's probably gotten a little easier. A little worse for the wear, perhaps, but he's alone at last. He's alone at last. He's the last.

He used to be on top of his game. A real scene-stealer. A ravenous baby-eater. Now at a five and dime, he's a glorified counter-top cleaner where nobodies remember his name.

So much so she loved him, so as it only seemed to hurt. Her devotion only made matters worse.

"Well, you can caress it if you want to..."

But as we've all come to find out, it may take more than love to keep the poison down.

She's someplace now as he's sweating it out -- living low, high and dreaming of their forgotten, misplaced schemes. Where in the night to no one within reach, he screams:

"Life takes you where it goes. Life takes you where it goes or so it would seem."

Wanna know what's exhilarating, in a geeky way? Helping someone on the other side of the country alter the layout of their web diary using AIM. I did it with David just now. I helped alter some HTML and add a row to a table so that his layout could be just the way he wanted. And he was drunk while we were doing this! Rock!

From the Onion:

GAY ADOPTION: Rosie O'Donnell, an adoptive parent and newly out lesbian, called Florida's and President Bush's opposition to gay adoption "wrong." What do you think?

"Rosie O'Donnell and her kind should not be allowed to adopt. You have no idea how bad it fucks kids up to be raised by celebrities."
George Kiehl, Truck Driver

"You know, maybe gay adoption will scare conservatives enough that they'll consider safe, legal abortion as an alternative."
Wendy Mota, Physical Therapist

"The law needs to make a distinction here. Are we talking regular gay or whoo-hoo-fabulous gay?"
Chris Chance, Prep Cook

"As long as they're closeted gays, I have no problem with it."
Dan Durkee, Bond Trader

"Homosexuals should be allowed to adopt kids, but they should not be allowed to molest them. I firmly believe that."
David Whitten, Systems Analyst

"The last thing we need is to put children in the hands of people who actually want them."
Roberta Diamond, Teacher

I cancelled my cell phone service with Cingular Wireless back in February. As a little going-away present, they credited me the amount of my final bill, which meant I didn't have to pay it!

And today, for some strange reason, they gave me a check for $25. Not to be one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I'm putting this check in the bank first thing tomorrow.

Oooooo! Ahhhhhh! The new Pedro the Lion album comes out in less than two weeks! It is going to be magnificent.

And I am going to see them on May 18th at the El Rey. I bought the tickets today.

The real treat, though, is the fact that Damien Jurado is opening.

Me : Gilmore Girls is a rerun tonight.
The Ess-Dog: It is?
Me: Yeah, it's the episode where the Independence Inn might get sold.
Beck: How do you know?
Me: There's this thing called the Internet that I make use of once in awhile.
The Ess-Dog: Haha, imagine that. How about Smallville? Is it new?
Me: Fuck if I care!
