Sure wasn't expecting that blowout last night. I'm with Dan in that I don't want Chicago to take it, but don't much care who else does. I'm just hoping for some excellent games.

Nope. That's far worse.

Mine is a wreck, but it's because I haven't done any Spring cleaning. So, in an effort to have a low-key, friendly afternoon, I took one of my best friends of the past 20 years, her son and her father to see Iron Man, but missed most of the movie due to drama. Though my friend just turned 40 last week, same week her divorce was finalized, she'd managed to fall in love (again) with some 63-year-old guy a couple months ago, and everything was just the bestest of the most perfectest everest until some woman showed up last week, who has apparently been living for free in one of this guy's rental homes for a couple years, and in exchange she comes to his home to cook for him and clean for him and sleep naked with him, but without having sex, and has now decided to stalk my friend like a freaking crazy lady because my friend is having sex with this guy, and because she is a good stalker, she showed up at the theater, which means she had to have been hanging out by my friend's home, and started shoving her cell phone at us to show us text messages saying things like "you are the only one" as some weird proof of I don't care what, and my friend, who is another excellent crazy person, starts screaming in Russian, but then tries to hug the stalker, which didn't exactly go over really well, and other than getting dad and kid out of there, I sure as hell didn't know what to do, but fortunately after about 10 minutes of a bad scene (surprised we weren't arrested), the stalker lady left to probably stalk from a distance, and I've spent the last few hours doing what I didn't want to do at all, which was listen to my friend talk herself down and turn this day into some kind of victory, which is naturally so far off the point of anything that makes sense to anyone remotely sane it pissed me off to no end, and I also missed the movie and then the hockey game, and now I'm typing this one long annoying sentence, but that's exactly how I feel right now. Time to cut crazy people that insist on staying crazy out of my life again.

Happiest of birthdays to you!

Just catching up on this thread. Glad Jacob is finding a way to Chicago, but I'm really sorry to hear you'll not be coming, Deepak.

This is one of those weird cds I appreciate. It's sort of on the line between too weird and campy, but oddly good nontheless. It's that line that intrigues.

colin, there's a good shot that they'll have another deal sometime soon, and aren't you supposed to win these at canjam this year?

Very cool, Mike. I've spent the day basically talking to stone walls, even though these particular walls look like humans and pay me a lot so they can reject what they pay me to say. Oh well.

Liking the Charles-Marie Widor and the Messiaen.

Now that was a fun game to watch!

Congrats, Stephen, but sad you'll not be at CanJam.

Happy birthday to you!!!!

Lordy, you guys spend way too much time on the internet.

Sure I do. Whatever happened to that Point and Laugh thread we had going a couple years ago?

Hell yes! Against the Glass! My old roommate used to listen to it all the time. I'd completely forgotten about that band. Just went looking to see if I could find that EP, but came across this from 1986:

pics please

Good luck. I had to go through a couple refits with my UE11s, and got lucky this time. My right is a wee bit looser than the left on my JH13s, but I still get a decent seal, so am not going to mess with it right now.

Nice getting ready to go home from work music.

I'm on a whole nostalgia kick today: Nomeansno - Sex Mad
