Twin Peaks marathon weekend

So, I just finished watching the first season of Twin Peaks. Why did it take me nearly 20 years to watch this? This shot here is by far one of my favorite scenes in television history. This happens in the third episode and I'm pretty sure this was the scene where people made the decision if they were going to continue watching the show or not. I'm sure about half the people were like "WTF was that? This show is too crazy for me," and the other half were like "WTF, that was the coolest thing I've ever seen." Before this scene, the show seemed pretty normal.

Bugs!


bugs in seasoning

My roommate made some chicken tonight. He went looking for something to season it with and reached up in the cabinet and pulled down this Emeril's Southwest seasoning I've had for about three years now. It's a good thing he looked inside before he started pouring because the whole thing was full of bugs.

The Cathedral of Junk

So I went on a brunch date this morning with a really cool chick. We threw our bikes in the back of my car and after brunch pedaled down to the Cathedral of Junk. I haven't ridden my bike in a while and realized I was way out of shape. I had to rest quite a bit after we made it. I started rambling on about something and finally got to my point of wanting to kiss her so we had our first and hopefully not last sweaty kiss in the gut of the Cathedral of Junk. It was really sweet. I hope she doesn't think I'm a jackass.

My Fourth of July



Get ready to die

Yesterday was probably the craziest Fourth of July I've ever had and I didn't see any fireworks. It started off with a pool party the the Domain. Yes I know, the Domain is kinda lame, but that's where it was.

Later, Rob, Jon, Kleen, Brent and I went to Beauty Bar for free drinks and then to Emo's to the Andrew WK show. You really must watch the video because I cannot explain the craziness. People were climbing on the ceiling. Probably 100 people, including me, jumped on stage. One guy was wearing a Borat swimsuit and a Mexican wrestling mask.

When it was over, some people were bloody, others were soaking wet. I on the other hand stayed out of most of the ruckus but still had a good time.

I'm in Blender

Text from Rob: Dude we're in Blender.

Me: Awesome, what for?

Rob: Crowd shot at Coachella.

I wouldn't be able to see the photo until the next day at work, so I imagined that it would be me and Rob up-close, recognizable. Well, it's definitely us, but you wouldn't know that unless I told you and then pointed it out. So click on this image and you can see where we're at. You should then check out my Flickr set on Coachella and you can see that this is where I was standing during the Gogol Bordello set and I was wearing a bucket hat and shades.

Dead and Bloated

Was it the shrimp fajitas, the massive dump I needed to take, the seats a mile away, the crappy acoustics or did the Stone Temple Pilots show really suck that bad last night?

I must be really spoiled by Austin venues where the sound is actually pretty good sometimes. Last night at the STP show, I felt like I was listening to them on midi. You know when a song starts up and you immediately know which song it is? I couldn't do that last night. The only time I could understand the vocals were when the jackasses around me were singing them. And geez..these people from San Antonio were eating this up. I would have demanded my money back had I forked out the $50 for these tickets.

After I went to the Bush/Moby show back in '99, I said I'd never go to another stadium show. After I went to the Weezer show in '03 I said I'd never go back to another stadium show. And now, once again I am saying I will never go back to another stadium show.

Things


self portrait

So, I have a new roommate. Clifton Stuckey, former member of The Happiness and former Wichita Falls resident and The Skinnys biggest fan has moved into my hotel.

I'm going to San Antonio this afternoon to see Black Francis and Stone Temple Pilots.

I painted this self-portrait last night in art class after my teacher told me last week that I wasn't very good at drawing figures. Yes, I do have nipples I just didn't get around to adding tem last night. I don't know if I'll add anymore to this painting or not. I kinda like it the way it is.
