not just my favorite bad religion song, but also an episode from flash gordon. i remember when the series started…i kinda chuckled at the thought of ming the merciless (or “benevolent father,” as he was known in the series) being a very white, very metrosexual guy, but hey, i have an open mind. he obviously wanted a new beginning, new image, right? that’s why he didn’t want anyone to call him ming the merciless anymore.

it’s oh so quiet… 29 April, 2008
shhh, shhh…
bjork aside, i have been relatively inactive on here as of late. between working more, reading more, playing okami on the wii a LOT more…well, my writing, in all its capacities, has suffered. i should work on that.
but not today, not so much. we got folkses coming over this evening to ogle the ridiculously-comfy new couch, and i have a spot of tidying up to do, vacuuming and what not. i did, though, wanna share some stuff…firstly, this fabulous link that the lovely mrs. esmon posted. looks pretty spiffy, and i have been wanting to get some prints…we haven’t had any real photos since we got the digital camera, and our photo albums are suffering. i think i’ll sign up, but i was kind of amused by the site’s terms and conditions. and i quote:
Valid on orders placed and shipped within the globe only
extra-terrestrial photographers need not apply, apparently.

ben’s not home tonight. can you tell?
ANYWAY. heads up for you ladies who swoon for david tennant: next monday at 8 on bbc america, the good doctor will be the star in a reasonably-priced car.
(and top gear is actually a pretty cool show, too.)
so yeah. next monday, 8 pm, bbc america, top gear.
perspective 21 April, 2008
we found an old cell phone from our college years in the disc golf bag (which gives you some idea of how long it’s been since we last played, until recently). this would’ve been around 2001 or 2002 or so. we laughed and joked about how big it was…
and then today, i realize that my cell phone from 6 or so years ago is only very slightly smaller than the handset of our current home phone. and it weighs more.
the times they are a-changin…
she 21 April, 2008
i checked out a book of
jim morrison’s poetry
pre-doors scribblings of
a future rock god
partly because
i wanted to read it
but, maybe more so,
it reminded me of her
with her long raven hair
flowing down her back
her t-shirts, her jeans,
her doc marten boots
she, who would’ve fucked
jim morrison sideways
(and in several other ways)
were only he alive
(not a finished product, mind you)
(bonus points if you know who she is)
(franklinites, i’m looking at you )
(as always, true story)
(seriously, if i ever publish a book of poetry, i need to title it true stories)
(or something)
