the horror

well i was typing this really humorous / sarcastic post about arsenal's complete meltdown last night... and the fucking browser just closed? what the? good god.

suffice it to say i am pissed and...

ARSENAL BLEW A GODDAMN 4 - 2 LEAD WITH 2 MINUTES TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. open wound

2. apply salt (liberally)

3. weep openly

fuck all.

CORRECTION!

denis johnson won the National Book Award NOT the Pulitzer Prize for Tree of Smoke. so sorry. mr mccarthy won the Pulitzer for The Road. both hella worthy reads folks.

ok, back to smashing up cop cars... one must practice in case

absentia et al

I know I know, who knew I even had a blog thingamajig. I have been well beyond poor in terms of manning ye old ship but this is set to change loyal reader. true fact. I have let way too much bad humor and mediocre prose stew. I even capitalize letters now.

on occassion.

And yes I am still sober and my health is good, considering. Just been lazy and preoccupied with other volumes in the library called life!

Anyhoo, enough grovelling. I am reading Denis Johnson's (Vietnam war) epic Tree of Smoke and it is indeed an epic and indeed worthy of his Pulitzer! A very new take on a much covered era.

The new Dillinger 4 album has yet to leave my CD playing device and if you have not begged, borrowed or stolen it yet... shame on ya. EMAIL ME AND I WILL BURN YOU A COPY AND SNAIL IT TO YOU ALONG WITH LITTLE MESSAGES OF HOPE AND MAYBE SOME FAST FOOD SALT AND PEPPER PACKETS!

And now for the big news of the week day!

(not the damned election) ARSENAL V TOTTENHAM!!!!!

TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The London Derby of all London derby's. If we win no trophies but still do the double versus the Scum then all good Arse fans can sleep well!  

new tattoo idea:  i hate tottenham!  (on forehead).

I will go now and make tea and mentally prepare for kickoff.

Stick around, you might probably won't learn something.

who knew?

the

memo

indicating

that

one

is

supposed

to actually "blog"

(i.e

                              produce

"posts")

on this thing

must

be

lost

among

the

papers

on

my

desk.

the lion, the witch and the war bonds

-The Harris County Sheriff's Office is searching for a man it says killed and then mutilated another man by scalping him and cutting away portions of the victim's face.

-Neighbors of a Houston man accused of killing his girlfriend and destroying her remains on a pair of barbecue pits testified Thursday that he said at the time that she left his apartment in the middle of the night and was not returning his calls.

-AUSTIN — A 7-year-old Texas boy found dead hanging from a hook in a school bathroom may have been playing a game students call "run and jump," according to police reports released Thursday.

I mean does Texas swing or what?!!!!

so after 39 years (ok 6 or 7) dillinger four have a new record!  likely the most anticipated p-rock record since the dawn of man, or punk rock anyway. what the peeps are saying:

Dilling Four, CIVILWAR (2008)

"like, OmyGod!"

- a young female

"braaa, whoa"

- some dude

"as nature intended"

-someon else

"masterpiece may be insufficient praise!"

- brickwallboy

and for your eyes (and mind's eye) might i suggest salvador plascencia's "the people of paper". beautiful is not the best word, but it works.

here to help people, here to help.

let me make this clear straight-away. it has long been my personal belief that the human female is god's most intelligent, and yes, most beautiful creation.  

sarah palin could very well shake this belief.

did i mention i'm here to help.
