Srsly, what is going on, a full moon?

Both, actually. I didn't even drink anything last night, that's how bad the hangover was -- I just didn't want to go back there again. I thought I had developed a tolerance, but I must've done it after a week or so of not drinking as well as on a particularly empty stomache, and that caught me offguard. Or sumpin'. But yeah, today I feel really great, and have all day. I'll have to take a picture of the hard liquor wall of Perfect Pour next time I'm in there. I just stood and gaped at it the last time I was in there. I don't think there was anything there that you guys would call "hard to find", but ... there's just something jawdropping about shelves that go that high, and they're as full of liquor up high as they are down at hand- and eye level. They had some several-hundred dollar bottles of booze there.

Finally got my tires installed, yay!

Nice, Al. Last thing I bought was a sandwich, a brownie, and a drink. I don't usually do brownies, but I was in a particularly good mood because I'm finally feeling better.

Oh and in answer to the original question: Mindworks.

You could just post a list and ask Jacob what to buy once a month.

To me, sand == glass == tubes. So I just always remember to read it as opposite of what I think it is. Or I think of an angry viking with a large, Mjolnir-like hammer, smashing the chipses into little SAND-like bitses. I don't think it's an acronym.

I am. It's Heifetz, after all. I just wish it were SACD or sumpin'. I might have to go after the vinyl box and get my vinyl rig shit together, that seems to be the way to go with high-res.

I eat this sort of thing up.

UnSun, The End of Life -- gothish hard pop w/femme vox. Dig.

"13% off" is subject to prejudice yet again.

Talk about a huge breast! Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist. It's Cool Whip time! If I don't undo my pants, I'll burst! Whew, that's one terrific spread! I'm in the mood for a little dark meat. Are you ready for seconds yet? It's a little dry, do you still want to eat it? Just wait your turn, you'll get some! Don't play with your meat. Just spread the legs open and stuff it in. Do you think you'll be able to handle all these people at once? I didn't expect everyone to come at once! You still have a little bit on your chin. How long will it take after you stick it in? You'll know it's ready when it pops up. Wow, I didn't think I could handle all of that! That's the biggest one I've ever seen! How long do I beat it before it's ready?

I'm so ashamed I missed that.

I <3 Wall of Voodoo. So so many great songs. If you don't have Dark Continent, you must track it down. Now I've got a medley of songs stuck in my head: Lost Weekend/Call of the West/Animal Day/Back in Flesh/...a bunch of others.

This.

The live video is pretty watchable, too.

Yello by Yello, The Anthology -- resuming this. I think I may have to jack these guys up to my Top X Favorite Artists list.

Finished 3rd disk of Blade of the Immortal. Yargh! Really wish they had finished this, it was a really good take on the manga. And what an awful place to stop. They even got the language right (in the author's notes in the manga, he mentions that he deliberately uses different styles in a deliberately incongruous and sometimes anachronistic style), without beating you on the head with it. It's much more subtle in the show than in the manga, although Sabato Kuroi was nicely pretentious with his poetry. And the more introspective scenes were nicely patient. So maybe not the best anime you've never seen, but an excellent take on the best manga you've never read.

Pfff...I can hardly remember my name from day to day.

Okay, I forgot. This is an excellent suggestion, and superimposes the coffee table book suggestion very heartily.

I can't even confirm that it's still being published, that's how out of superhero comics I am. I would find your nearest comics establishment and ask the help there. By 'help', I mean either the guy behind the counter, or the one on your side talking to him -- for some reason, they always come in twos like that. One that works there, and one that just knows a lot. There's a service for finding your nearest comics establishment (yes, besides maps.google.com), but I forget what it is. Something off wizard, I think. Well, there's this one. You don't have to frequent the store or get a subscription there or anything, just go in with your question, they'll help you find it. I remember walking by what looked like a really good one when I was in NYC the other month, but I have absolutely zero recollection where it was.

Okay, this book totally rocks. I mean, it totally rocked before, but it is my new best friend now. One of the characters just said, ...with 'on' being italicized.

Jesus. I bet she's glad she has a friend like you today. I'm at a loss.
