there' nothing like a late summer get together over at a friend's house. especially on a wednesday. i think midweek gatherings should be mandatory, that way the weekend dosn't feel so far away.

last night, while sitting in joe's floor, listening to dark side of the moon, i had one of those moments of clarity. i thought back to my childhood and saw those memories for a different perspective. i saw life as my parents probably saw it: good times and hanging out with friends, listening to music. noble pursuits.

on another note…this mountain dew pitch black shit is like grape soda with some amphetamines thrown in. it's pretty crazy. add the fact that they were "2 for $2" at K's, this morning and you have the makings for a pretty wired day. excellent. or not so excellent. i guess i can't make that call until later…

and on a completely different note…"an unexplained radio signal from deep space could — just might be — contact from an alien civilization, new scientist magazine reported on thursday". whoa. and, for all you geeks out there, the signal was picked up therough the seti@home project. awesome. i knew there was a reason i ran that screensaver…
