this fucking KILLS me. too perfect. and the kitty looks just like daddy-o... at least, his soft white underbelly does.

and in totally unrelated news

can you believe i actually had an obsessive three-year crush on this guy?

admittedly, his hair wasn't so dumb back then. and he does have a great smile. and he's a hell of a guitar player.

but honestly. LOOK at him!



apropos of nothing, does anyone here in austin have a set of hand weights they're not using?

a lesson in presentation

people often tell me i have an interesting life. these people are mostly deluded into believing so because i'm very good at making things sound the way i want them to.

for example, each of the following is a true statement.

for impact:

My friend who lives in a trailer in central Florida sent me a box of booze and knives!

for culture:

Today I received a package of books and vintage wine from my friend Markian.

for verisimilitude:

gooley sent me a package with a Nero Wolfe novel, two bottles of possibly spoiled vintage Australian dessert wine, four used cooking knives, a pound of orange blossom honey, and a spare PS/2 mouse.

i hope this lesson has been instructive.
