i just bought an architecture in helsinki record. as in record. the round thing that you put a needle on. it came with a pass to download the mp3s online, which made it the perfect purchase. i am well pleased with myself.

good times are the curse of the writer. i haven't been on in a long while, and the reason is that my life is pretty good. when i'm sad or lonely, writing is my escape. when i'm serenely satisfied, writing is a task that i want to get over quickly. and that moment always seems to be in my jeep. emily thinks i should get a pad to write on and carry it with me all the time. 'be prepared' and all that. i'm out of pockets though. maybe when i get an iphone and can eliminate some things i must carry. i was just reading over my writings and i realized that it's been over a year since i decided to write here. which means it has been over a year since i decided to write. and i must say, i was a tired man. i was sad and lonely. i had recently ended a relationship and was quite lonely. being a highly social animal, that was torturous for me

but enough about that shit.

i also got a mariah carey album. that's right, mariah carey. and i can't find the yacht album anywhere. i'm upset about that a little. mostly because i am in love with yacht. i mention it here because i've been talking about yacht and claire evans and the blow for a very long time and i'm sure it's getting on everyone's nerves. maybe if i just get it off my chest i'll be better. it sort of worked last year with the blow. but not all the way if i'm still thinking about her i guess. anyway he's (jona bechtolt) so fing awesome. he is doing exactly what he wants to do with his life right now. it's amazing. i don't know if i told you this already but i'm telling you anyway: i have taken the things i like about women through my life and created the perfect woman in my mind. again, i don't believe myself a beautiful and unique snowflake. anyway she shops at anthropologie and listens to the blow. this is true. well, that's how i feel about yacht. i have taken what i want to be like from men my whole life. that man is yacht. he complained on his china video on vimeo.com that he left his computer adapter in france. how cool. also he has a blog at teamyacht.com, he has a photo log at flickr.com, he has music posted on virb.com, runs a contest called 'ultimate blogger' that has a lot of fans, he has done numerous productions for numerous venues, and has time to sit down and write about it. i'm kind of creeping myself out with how much i admire him. i think i'm going to call ira glass with an idea for a show concerning how the internet allows normal people to involve themselves too much in other people's lives without their knowledge. to become an unwitting stalker. to my credit i emailed claire, jona, and khaela directly about what they mean to me and how i appreciate what they do. so far claire has written me back.

he also has a bitchin album that you can sample at statesrightsrecords.com called our friends in hell. it's a dance album. states rights has many fantastic artists.

restrictions apply, void where prohibited, not available in all states, not good in conjunction with any other offer, double coupons on tuesday only. geez, yeah, sorry about that. i kinda got carried away.

my beautiful cat is sleeping next to my pillow. i love her.

there is much more, but it is VERY late and i'm VERY sleepy.

architecture in helsinki - nothing's wrong

ps: hasn't 'ask a ninja' gone too far with corporate sponsors? an ad for doritos? really?

pps: for timbrel: 64, mostly musicians.
