i've been in a bit of a depression, lately. sorry if it comes across here. things just aren't going anywhere near how i would like for them to…i guess they never do.

on a lighter note…how do you get your own cool internet explorer icon like blogger has? i've become fascinated by this for some unexplainable reason… if you have the answer to this question, let me know.

matt'll be gone to see the cure in st. louis for the greater part of the week, so i'll be sitting around holding the fort down by my lonesome. it'll give me time to finish up this application for a new job that i've been slowly working on over the past week. i need to make more money. it may be the root of all evil, but damn is it nice to have. maybe someday i'll be able to buy a new car…

i'm off to do absolutely jack shit, so have a good night.

back home from bloomington, where i got to see the casket lottery. they played a new song tonight, and it was suitably amazing. i feel like a total fucking nerd. i'm quickly realizing that they are my favorite active band. as long as the police don't get back together anytime soon, they've got the title in the bag…

let's give it up for small brown bike, as well. they always rock, and i'm looking forward to seeing them again at the bloomington fest.

i've come to realize that i have nothing important to say to anyone. goodnight.

i really wish good things would happen. i'm living in a din of unhappiness. and i really can't stand how mopey and "the cure" i sound.

on a lighter note, shanghai noon was a really fucking good movie. no shit. jackie chan is still amazing…

i'm off to bloomington tomorrow to see the casket lottery. that might cheer me up.

i wish that my wish would hurry up and come true.

the power went out at my apartment yesterday. true it was from my negligence to post the bill to get it paid on time, but i've come to realize that i don't like living with the people i live with. i hope that i can move out and salvage any chance of a friendship from this hindenburg of living arrangements…

don't worry, the power has been paid for and we're patiently (some of us, anyway) waiting for the switch to be flipped.

hopefully i'll have a better weekend than the end of my week. i've got a cool little trip to bloomington, so that should make giant steps toward making me a happier person.

no links that i can think of at the moment…the transmission3000 redesign will probably hit sometime next week. i know i'm always putting shit off, but when you don't have power, you can't design websites.

irony of the day? i've been regrettably single for a while now, yet i constantly get junk email trying to sell me viagra. it's like life's little tongue-in-cheek way of saying "hey buddy, you're a real fucking failure in this relationship thing…"

i've got a little 2 song sampler of the new elliott album due out in under a month…it sounds like it was recorded in a bucket. not in a good way. the songs are good, but they really shouldn't have gone with whoever this guy is that produced this shit. and how viable is elliott now that jay has left?

the clerks animated series premieres tonight at 9:30 on abc. i know i'll be parked in front of the tv for at least a half-hour tonight.

pillowfight is the shit. i remember over a year ago when i'd just sit there and read review after review…

i've gotta go work on some websites…

no, i didn't update yesterday. it's mainly because of the cookout mentioned over there in matt's log. i was in attendance. i ate sour cream and onion chips, and then i took in some ice cream. have my whereabouts been sufficiently explained?

i'm poor. i've come to this realization sometime after realizing that in able to park for the rest of the week at work, i don't really get to eat. eating is a very important part of survival, so i hope i find a way around this l'il problem.

western homes is a good site. i really like it. even if he repeatedly ignored my emails letting him know that transmission3000 exists. i mean…he even has an objective yet favorable review of the new pearl jam record. now if i could only get him to link to either this site or t3k…

speaking of transmission3000, the re-design over there is puttering along nicely. i actually got the slint show re-posted, and the whole thing should be ready for your eyes by the end of the week.

i'm tired and hungry, and stuck at work…i'll check back in later tonight…

just got back from bowling and i kicked ass, to put it bluntly. if you're ever in louisville, look me up. i'd be glad to mop the lanes with your sorry ass.

steal this blog linked to us. i can't tell if he likes us or not, but whatever. we're returning the favor, regardless. well…i am. matt is out of town visiting the parentals. and preparing for a little something special we're gonna wedge in here sometime next week…

i'm going up to bloomington to see the casket lottery next saturday (June 3rd). i'm glad that i'll be meeting up with those guys again. small brown bike, as well. the rest of the dates for the tour can be found here.

i'm going to bed. i'm tired, and the rolling stones have softened my skull enough to penetrate the sleep barrier…

in the spirit of hate, read this puzzling website: i hate music.

i am really growing to hate working in the service industry (as if i liked it that much to begin with…). i could do without all the random worthless fucks whose sole purpose is to shit on my day. i would like to take them all, line them up in the street and run over them with a steamroller. i really don't think they make a steamroller that big, but a guy can dream, can't he?

i really don't have anything intelligent to say anymore. since last night (see below post) my brain and heart have crawled into a little black hole that i'd rather not talk about.

maybe later something will happen to make my day infinitely better.

then again…maybe not.

i've lost all will to communicate like a rational person.

kill me and stick me in a fucking box.

i'm sitting at work, winding my lunch down to a close, and i thought i'd drop in here and post a bit.

i plan on getting the slint show posted on transmission3000 by the end of the weekend (i just learned that i have monday off for the holiday due to my double-time making me too much money…who cares? i get paid anyway…). i really do plan on it. the reason it didn't get posted last weekend was the creation of bipolar. aren't you glad you decided to wait?

thanks adam for linking. kempa.com is still one of my favorite places to stop into…

more tonight as the need strikes…
