Pimpin' old man!: Pale yellow creased slacks, a little short; longsleeved silk shirt with a pattern of large squares of color (red, green, yellow, white); fawn-colored short pointy-toed suede boots; dark green jacket slung over one shoulder, canary yellow trucker hat. Oh my word he looked so cool.
Today was a real fashion extravaganza. Maybe it's the heat, but damn. I saw two fly-ass goth chicks within five minutes, one of whom verified for me that fishnet hose with open-toed shoes can be done well.

For all the haters: Chris Onstad (better known as that dude who writes Achewood) loves him some Peanuts. The evidence:
Q: Are there any classic or contemporary comics that fueled an early interest in doing a comic strip?
A: [Bloom County, Garfield, Mad Magazine] And tons of Snoopy - old rotting, crumbling pulp paperbacks from the garage sales that my mom scoured.
Q: There seemed to be a sadness and complexity to Peanuts that a lot of people missed.
A: Peanuts is fifty years of work. It may be hard for recent adopters to get into. It takes a commitment to fully appreciate its history but there is a certain anthology which lays it all out plain as day, and it is a real treat to read.
So there. _

Has anybody done "Marcel Proust has a posse" yet? If not, I got dibs.
Actually, what about a series of Warhol-esque French writers? Baudelaire, Proust, Rimbaud -- any good pictures of Moliere and Racine?

How to pick Frontalot out of a crowd*:
-Pale shiny head;
-Mad lyrical flow;
-Tight-ass back-up band;
-Really sweet taste in shoes.
He played "Nerdcore Hiphop" and "Indier than Thou" (of course). He performed with the house band for a neat rock opera group of which he is apparently a member. I heard a lot of their songs, and they're really good. (Dude, their most recent show was called, "Young Zombies in Love" so what more could you ask for?)
*Or you could just go by this.

Ok, so it took me a while to catch onto the Achewood bandwagon, but thanks to Mirabai's cameo I've been reading Ray's Advice column, and goddamnit this is so true:
"It sounds to me like you haven't read the Sex Rulebook! The first rule of Sex is that everybody can always get it on. Man, go for it! Awesome! Awesome!"

Everytime I try to download, say, an MP3 the media player claims it can't find it. Changing the temporary internet files location in IE doesn't seem to help. I thought that this might result from the location I was sending things to (C:\Documents and Settings\speters instead of C:\Documents and Settings\SPETER~1~000 or something) but I store all the documents that I regularly access in the same location, so that doesn't make sense. Any ideas on what could be causing the problem, or what information I need to get in order to solve it?

Pavement covering the Beatles: "Something in the way she moves... uh, walks... attracts me like no other lover." The organ/strings bit is supplied by meowing noises. And right before the bridge, Stephen says, "Solo, George."

I was waiting for the train at about 11:30 last night when a tall soft-spoken dude in dreadlocks came up to me. He asked whether what I was reading (the SF Weekly film section) was interesting, and asked whether I liked film. Then he told me that he'd just finished location shooting in Germany and Morocco for his conceptual-art sci-fi thriller movie. Dude.

I like tangential(-ness? -ity? fuck. Can someone substantiate that for me?). I mean, I think it's great. Tangents and also asymptotes. Close but no cigar.

"Pure Moods is one of those 'As Seen On TV' CDs that's a compilation of all this really soothing easy-listening stuff," Berman said. "It's got [Enigma's] 'Return To Innocence' and that 'Sail away, sail away...' song by Enya. Basically, music for women about to lose their shit."
