it's my theory that nick and andy have a similar thing going on as michael and latoya jackson. you know, aren't they actually the same person? i mean, has anyone actually seen them in the same room at the same time? and if you answered yes to that question like i just did, aren't you starting to wonder about the trickery involved with smoke and mirrors? 3-d video imagery?i sense conspiracy. something's rotten in denmark.

my mail server is down. my sitemeter isn't working properly. it's cloudy outside. my stomach hurts. today someone told me that in the old days, people used to go outside. he says that if you look really hard you can still see the sun. i'm not so sure i trust his opinion. the sun i've come to know just isn't honest. i think the only thing i can really believe in today is the purple george foreman imac grill in my kitchen. and this pineapple i'm eating. so the only things i can really believe in today are the purple george foreman imac grill in my kitchen and this pineapple that i'm eating. and my bumble and bumble seaweed conditioner. ok, so now really the only things i can believe in today are the purple george foreman imac grill in my kitchen, this pineapple that i'm eating, and my bumble and bumble seaweed conditioner. and this ... oh, nevermind.

i have this problem. my heart is crazy. my heart is crazy and it's on fire and it goes and goes and goes and goes some more. and the speed! it's incredible! we're talking speeds of 130 bpm here. it keeps me awake at night. it doesn't give me any peace. it reminds me on a very regular basis that i am alive and sometimes maybe even a little too alive. this heart of mine...i'm starting to think something's up.
you're probably thinking this is a metaphor for love. you'd be wrong. i'm just malfunctioning.

keep your heads up and your eyes open for this most fantastic band. clamato.asp is a band that will rock the internet to its very core. clamato.asp's first album, http, isn't due out for awhile, but with such songs as whose underware are under there, |8|, when we learned about reciprocals and i've never tried spumoni but don't try to stop me, you'll want to be sure to snatch this gem of an album up as soon as it's released.

generally when there's a sad scene in a movie, it lasts 3 minutes or maybe 4...5 minutes tops. today i watched a movie where the entire last 20 minutes was as gut wrenching and tear jerking as it gets. and to think i thought i could just get up, grab a coke, and walk it off.

upon assessing my web habits in conjunction with my emotional situation, i've realized that i only read this when i either really like someone or when i think that really liking someone isn't going to work out so great. i just wish it wasn't always this one that speaks to me the loudest.
uh, thanks carl...i think.

'and suddenly he is just about as vague as you can get, without being actually invisible.' - solex
and it's like i told him...other things that make me excited and happy are:
- jell-o, once it's congealed but not a second before
- perfect pear lipshine, but only at home while working
- plane trips, especially when someone else is involved
- body pillows, with high thread-count pillow cases
- beer, the kind that comes in bottles with foil or paper on the outside
- horoscopes, eerily accurate ones

how in the hell do i know about ok go?
anyway, now it's time for some lyrics from tonight's show:
well it's tough to have a crush
when the boy doesn't feel the same way you do
well it's tough to have a crush on you
and of course, then there was this:
not to put too fine a point on it
say i'm the only bee in your bonnet
build a little birdhouse in your soul.

so i was just munching away on what i considered to be a vegetarian egg roll. mmm, yum, this egg roll is rich and tasty, i thought happily. munching and munching and then wait! what are these little pink things? they appear to be bacon-y bac-os. could this be? could this supposed vegetarian egg roll contain pork-like products? worse yet, could this be a PORK EGG ROLL?
if you consider yourself an egg roll specialist, please respond quickly and let me know if i should confer with a stomach pump.

"hey baby...i wanna be your husband, but just for ten minutes. come on, i wanna be your husband. don't walk away like that, we've got a ten minute marriage to consummate."

this morning i remembered a time when i met the mother of a person i knew. he warned me that she was low-income, but i didn't realize she'd look as poor as she was. it was the kind of poor that could embarrass a person for wearing clean socks, and unfortunately i'd done laundry the day before.

last night someone asked if i'd rather be invisible or able to fly. i made my choice and everyone else in the room picked one or the other as well. the person who asked found our answers extremely interesting.
it wasn't until this morning that i found out what it means when a person chooses invisible.

i'd finally reached dca and was ready to finally get on the metro in order to finally get home so that i might finally sleep in my own bed when something not exactly life-affirming happened. perhaps the opposite of life-affirming. perhaps death-affirming. i left the plane, entered the airport and saw a man holding a sign and wearing a big smile staring right at me.
"mrs. cohen?"
