faux, faux, faux, faux, faux, faux, faux... nnnnnsssssshhhhhh.... ick,
wotta nassy tune.

depends.

once, i was hanging out wit some peeps, who, at about 4am, wanted to drive
by your place and through eggs in your mailbox, but one of them said, no,
you'd prolly be up at the time anyway, thinking about what nassy things
you could post about polvo.

i was ambivalent to the whole idea.

jussa preference. don't feel like this is a request, please. but twould
be nice to see the posts -here-, insteada having to wait for webpages to
load. i mean, are we gonna get to the point where amch is a directory of
the website or is the website a repository of things from the list? or
both or neither and i'm confused and attempting to name something that
aint even mine to name?

nevermind.

please, as i dunno if i can even believe in essential lists, it is most
-crucial- to explain why an explanation (that hasn't already been given,
like, say, i'd go see them every night of the week, given the chance) is
necessary for something like music that can't really be justified. i mean,
it's not like, as you point out, there's the limited bandwidth of radio here.

but again, forget it, coz this list looks like it's yours to specify or
accept specification, and, just for me personally, it would speak louder
that let's active -not- be on such a list, however long or short.

i mean, it could be there because one person voted for it. that's all the
reason i need to hear. but that's just me.

man, i could have the best time with a sentence like that but i'm hungry
right now.

food review: hey, insteada going to the corporate chain wellspring, i went
to mom and pop george's gourmet garage for breakfast this morning. it was
good and expensive. i was the only customer. there were about twenty people
working there at the time. there was a sizeable buffet. the place won't last
even a few months at this rate. they'd better do a big bar business. i went
in there a few afternoons ago to look around. the bar was half full of people
who looked like they'd been imported in from the french riveria to sit around
and make  the place look beautiful. there's no sign out front, there's been no
advertising so no one hardly even knows the place is open, but they've got a
website, of course.

also: as soon as the garage opened, wellspring just -more than doubled- the
price of scrambled tofu.

also: it was as balmy a january evening as you could expect yesterday, but
christa, christa's brother, and i were the only people at driade, enjoying
the patio. cafe trio, of course, was packed with peeps staring at their
laptops.

hope your sinuses feel better. you didn't miss much at bo's party. bo just
called us assholes and rubbed our heads. we sat around looking at his nice
pretty pomo band comp packaging. georgia tried dancing to shellac. i got
real drunk again. bo looks like jack lemmon when i get drunk.
