rocket science

2007's little fim that could. caught it last night down at the sunshine theater on houston with ali and her friend here that's visiting. the director was in the audience which was cool except i kept wondering if he could overhear the scott's comparison's to 2005's darling movie that could, thumbsucker-- no mind though we laughed all the way through.

one of the best shows we've been to, and this song reminds me of scott

so, we all know i've never been one for purses, so i now use a cloth bag that doubles as my purse and shopping bag. its nice. its big. its handy. i can carry my purchases, wallet, and purse crap all in one bag. hooray! and does anyone remember how in fourth grade Brett Jacobs and i hosted a "Use Cloth Bags" booth at merced's earth day fair?? my quote in the paper was "using cloth bags helps save the environment and makes carrying things easier." ah, yes.

power animals in a flower world

what's your power animal? for now, mine is the arctic fox.





he looks suspiciously like a boy named knox...



(knox is my dog that my parents have since adopted with me living in new york)

oh really?

all the subways mysteriously shut down this morning-- and have remained down all day. the shut down was allegedly due to rain early this morning....but please, it was hardly a deluge and never has rain flooded every subway causing all subways to cease. i ended up driving scott's roommates (and mine) to work today...drive! to work! in manhattan! we even gave a 65-year-old men's suit manufacturer from long island a ride. geting a taxi was out of the question and car services were back up as well due to 3 million new yorkers needing to get to work and no subway service available. nightmare. but here's the thing, obviously, it is insulting to our intelligences to blame the standstill on a little drizzle. my guess? some security precaution handed down my the DHS....ah, and if i may tangent into the semi-paranoid, thanks to the patriot act the bros down at homeland security are probably scanning this post right now thanks to their surveillance and google's ridiculous algorithms that track, well, everything in the world. blink and google knows it probably before the dhs does. anyway, enough of my rant. really, it was probably just the rain.

756

so we almost missed bonds hit his record-breaking 756th home run tonight because of an OCD gay man. well, we had been flipping between the game and bravo's latest gem of mindless, indulgent entertainment for the "urban & educated"--the show flipping out, which stars a neurotic, OCD, homosexual egomaniac "real estate investor" (read: house flipper in the west LA residential market). and anyway, we had just watched as jeff (egomanic) freaked out over his cat being late for its accupuncture appointment--when suddenly scott flipped back to espn out of some involuntary movement which apparently originated by an instinctual reflex in the nether regions of his heterosexual brain--and bam, barry was up. one pitch. and its solid gold, baby. my roomie ali was already asleep in the next room--but there was jumping and yelling and hugging. yeah, its good to be a giants fan.




yes...i was taking pictures of the tv screen...
