We are making some changes to Poptarticus - changing from Movable Type to Wordpress and changing the look of the site. We should be done by the end of today (Monday August 18 2008).
Posting an example photo. Click on the photo and you get the large version.
Here’s an awesome video of Monday night’s Rush show at Coors.
WOW! We were sitting very close to this person; and I think you can even hear us, which is kind of embarrassing.
Oh well, I’ll cure my embarrassment with Hurricanes and Beachcombers at Brian’s Birthday Luau at the beach today. Rum + all day at the beach = forgetfulness. Which is what a summer Saturday is all about, right?
Happy New Year!
I think I spend too much time alone these days. There are so many great things about being alone, but if you spend too much time there, you sort of forget about other stuff. Like, speaking. I think I listen to music and the voices in my head too much and also, I spend too much time looking through my fuschia bangs, because when I look through them everything looks pink. If you have the right music on, it’s like you are on drugs even when you are not. It’s pretty cool, let me tell you, and absolutely worth the money and eventual hair-loss it costs you in the end.
But this is not what I meant to write about tonight.
Today I talked to the guy who manages my IRA and he said the bus is about to hit a wall, and everyone in the world is on that bus.
Today I saw on amazon.com that today is the last day to order, if you want that stuff by Christmas.
Today I couldn’t stop thinking about the liver of the guy in that movie Super Size Me.
Today I realized, I sometimes wish I didn’t have any communication with the world whatsoever.
Today I realized my current dream of traveling and blogging through Russia might be crazy, because they don’t make it easy for travelers there, and shake you down for cash and shit.
But I know in the end, everything will stay the same as before. Including the dream. So get ready Moscow muthas, for 2006.
Tonight I moved Shannon’s blog from Blogger format to our new Movable Type that we are running on the SlowTrav server! The format is not perfect yet - I need to add links to her book and to SlowTrav - but it is good enough for now (and it is bedtime).
Now you can post comments and search the blog. Shannon can group her posts by category.
So, welcome to Shannon’s blog in a slightly different format.
Who was responsible for casting 1957’s The Sun Also Rises? What a piss-poor job that was. I think when they got to the part of Brett Ashley, they scratched their heads and said, “hmmm, what actress likes nineteen-year-olds in really tight pants?” Why, Ava Gardner, of course! It probably made perfect sense at the time.
Of course then the whole cast had to be twenty years older than they should have been. The only worse casting in the history of mankind was the TV version of the same novel with Jane Seymour and Hart Bochner (now there’s a juicy twosome. Gag.)
Coolio! I have a blog. In my dreams (which are travel, right?) I was on a dusty road in Baja California. I’ll start posting about Spain soon. We leave one month from today!
