now if only there had been several cars in a row with identical UDP plates On my way back from the store today I was behind a car with a "990-TCP" license plate. The driver was side-by-side with a truck as the lanes merged together. It apparently took him a while to realize that he had to get behind or pass the truck or else he'd drive off the road. I should have yelled out to him, "NICE FLOW CONTROL!!"
Speaking of one of the only people on my friends list that would get that "joke," I finished reading all of Anthony's journal today. His cool.

America, West and A Son-E I made Cheepy a cute dinner today. I didn't have a way to take a picture of it, so you'll just have to settle for this Artist's MSPaint Rendering:

That's sushi (red pepper, cucumber, and baked tofu), sliced kiwi, a slice of red pepper and a strawberry.
I've been reading Ferny's journal archives. The hawability quotient is palpable. It weakly inspires me to write more often in this old thing. But probably not enough so that I'll actually do it. Anyway, it's kind of weird to think about how much electronic "documentation" we have detailing so many of the jokes that we have made over the years.
In other completely uninteresting news, I finally used that microphone that Alex sent me a while back (thanks again!). And now for the band Test Recording and their hit "Test 1". One of these days I should sit down and actually record stuff again. It seems that I have a billion song ideas, but they evaporate when I actually sit down and "roll tape." Perhaps I should pull a Rob Zombie and hum everything into a portable recorder.

Rob Crow!!! I attended the R.R. Crow II concert yesterday. I rank this show among the best I have ever seen. I think I'm giving it a slightly inflated rating because I got to see 3/4 of Heavy Vegetable performing Heavy Vegetable songs. One might say I was agreeing with every note they were playing.
Here is an unordered, incomplete list of songs that were played (I know there were more, but I can't remember the rest):
Rob Crow section: Bam Bam / I Hate You, Rob Crow (Single Version) / Taste / Over Your Heart / Up / Liefeld / Leveling / Focus / If Wade Would Call / No Sun / Ode To Tile / Who Takes My Recyclables / Speedy Delivery / Helicopter / Over the Summer / A Subtle Kiss / Some Things
Heavy Vegetable section: Song For Wesley / Junior / Intro / Bully / Couch
Rob Alone With His Guitar section: Astro Zombies / Minor Threat
Overall, I give it an A+. Actually, upgrade that to a Dr. A+ because the opening band Ghost Stories was also quite enjoyable. The singer/guitarer guy even played an acoustic version of "Can't Stand Losing You" from the middle of the crowd!
Before the show started, I met up with tanukisuit and we made fun of idiot "scenesters" with newsboy caps. I kept hoping that one of them would toss me a copy of tonight's program, but alas....

quick note
New song: Very Rough Mix 2006-02-04.
The structure may be jarring to some, so I've included a song map:
| Range | Description |
| 0:00-0:06.7 | Guitar-only intro 7/8 time |
| 0:06.7-0:20.1 | All instruments start, "chorus" section |
| 0:20.1-0:23.5 | Guitar-only, again |
| 0:23.5-0:35.9 | Verse (13/8 time), first guitar and drums become friends |
| 0:35.9-0:42.7 | Chorus (7/8 time) |
| 0:42.7-0:55.2 | Verse (back to 13/8), second guitar and bass elbow their way in |
| 0:55.2-1:08.6 | Instruments resolve their differences with the chorus again (7/8) |
| 1:08.6-1:15.3 | First guitar tries to steal the show again |
| 1:15.3-1:22.1 | Bass foils guitar's plan |
| 1:22.1-1:35.5 | Second guitar and bass join forces |
| 1:35.5-2:02.4 | They can't stay mad at each other (future home of a guitar solo) |
| 2:02.4-2:27.2 | Shaky ending |
I'll see some of you at the "super bull"* party!
