“do you like huey lewis and the news?”

ok computer

from an online “what type of drunk are you” test:

You are the Drunk Drunk
You have no limit. You focus on the present – while other people are thinking about tomorrow, you concentrate on tonight, which means getting as hammered as possible. Remember to thank your friends, since they are the reason you actually got home. By the way, thanks for those vulgar comments – someone had to say it.

thanks friends. luckily i then took the “how classy are you ” test which provided much more positive results:

You are The Landed Gentry
You are well above your peers in exhibiting class. Not only are you cultured, but you are motivated to make a difference. You immediately engage people with your interesting dialogue, and charm them with witty remarks. You never change your behavior to follow the crowd, and people respect you for that.

with a new found confidence i tried my luck with the “how are you in bed” test and got his back:

404-error. Page not found.

oh cruel world.

alan speaks

the other day alan and suzerfly came to town, enjoying a nice meal at mccormick and schmicks in midtown before coming to visit me. apparently suzie was not impressed, leaving alan no choice but to tell about it. he knows.

3j calling

and to think all these years i thought it was just something asian guys were chasing. who knew?

first thing you learn is that you always gotta wait

remember the really expensive velvet underground prototype album that sold and then didn’t sell and then sold again on ebay a few weeks ago? you can listen to and download it here for free. though the recording is scratchy it sounds better than the majority of new music.

as a worthless ‘venus in furs’/velvet underground/thomas pynchon tibdit that will either make one appear nerdy or pretentious at cocktail parties – there is a striking scene in gravity’s rainbow in which a guy (brigadeer pudding) gets dominated by a girl (domina nocturna) and i believe she actually shits on him. the scene from the book, much like the song references the book ‘venus in furs,’ which was written by a german? author whose name i am too hungover to remember or search al gore’s internets for. the song is also interesting because i expect for the majority of people my age or younger, the first time you heard the song was in the warhol scene of the doors movie. it was the best song in the movie and the only one excluded from the soundtrack. it wasn’t until years later that i found out who actually sang the song.
