Today, I win.
Sort of.
Ever have one of those days, where things just fall into place? Thoughts on past events are validated; consideration of future events look hopefully, but mostly your thoughts are right now, and right now is pretty alright? That was today - Sleeping in, lovely breakfast of eggs, toast, and vegi-sausage with Eva, then an afternoon sitting in the sun reading the paper together. Later, we took a walk down the UVM bike trail; and though normally I don't like to "walk" for "exercise" I found myself really enjoying the stroll, that was until I walked headfirst into a low hanging branch that nearly knocked me on my ass, and left me with a nice bump along my hairline (not to mention the bruise on my pride.)
I also found the world's longest hayseed. Bonus.
Then later Pure Pop Poker Party. Or P4 as I just coined it. Involving a nice drive into the country, a few girl drinks w/ the co-workers, Mike's famous homemade taquitos some random Ipod tunes (A.I. much?), the Janx, and one long, intense game of Poker. When the dust finally cleared, it was about 1:45 in the Morning, and I had made it into the final 3, out of I believe 7 to start with. This was a bit of a shock to me. Even though I was really trying this time, I don't have what most would call a good poker face, so instead I like to throw off my opponents with calculated over exuberance, followed by feigned confusion, and finally stone cold badassery. I call it the "Wild Style". And it got me a respectable second place... Fucking Cooley. Balls.
Regardless, I walked away with 10 bucks in my pocket, and the knowledge that at least I didn't loose to Herb or Mike.
So Today, I won, sort of.

Man, we are both such nighthawks.
Apple Chicken you say? i knew i was to good to be Vegi. Texture, it's all about texture.
Hell yeah, and the smell of charred flesh driving the cats crazy...mmmm....i am delirious, time for bed! night~
You know, the last couple of days have been very pleasant, I must say. Of course, now I've probably jinxed it.
Hopefully I haven't janxed it!
hey Tan- what do you think of 'carrigan?' I've never seen them but I saw that they were playing fri nite at metrognome with swale and ryan and was wondering if you were going. i might. sinko dey stinko.

well, i saw Carrigan a while ago when there were a bunch of people in it, and that was cool; and their album was right up there next to the cancer conspiracy album; then i saw them again and it was a 2 peice band... of drums and keys/guitar... and that was actually really good. So i'd say - it'd be worth checking out, but i don't have a clue what they're gonna sound like. I'm in though!
Read my article on Carrigan in the Wednesday, May 3 paper (plug! snark!)
The 2 piece setup is interesting. The new album is decent.
Sometimes Zach sounds too much like thom Yorke, tho.
But overall, it's good-ly.
drums and key-tar? hot
