carnaval schmarnaval

ok, so today i walked over to carnaval which is all emcompassing in my 'hood and you can't really avoid it. i didn't go last year...i think because i was moving into my place. i was really looking forward to some overpriced food, maybe some local art etc. when i got there tho, it seemed that they had the same 5 food vendors the whole length of harrison st. (which, by the way, was seriously lacking in fried dough).

and not only was it the same 5 food vendors, but it was also about the same 5 retailers. and NO local art to be seen. so, it was kinda boring. i think i was there for an hour and then i came home and cleaned.

PAW

you know, i'm gonna say it. i really liked that band Paw that was mildly popular in the early 90's. sometimes i get crushes on singers because of they way they sing or their lyrics. mark hennessy was one of these crushes. sigh. and then when i saw them live? let's just say: carhart. i LOVE men in carhart clothing items. it makes them all utilitarian and blue collar. uh, i don't think there is anything else i can say here.

iPod

dear dj ipod,

why do you play the same songs and bands over and over again? don't you get the hint when i advance to the next song? sometimes i think that you think i only have jay-z, type-o negative and spoon on there. but i have WAY more! didn't you learn your lesson when i took off all my bjork because you played it incessantly? to help you, i finally put the rest of my cd collection into you and even downloaded some new NEW music from itunes. and yet, when i popped you into my bose docking station, and even started you off with my new NEW death from above 1979 you still reverted back to jay-z. why dj ipod? i even had to advance through matthew sweet (again!) and radiohead (AGAIN!). sigh.

love,
hez
