somethings i learned this weekend

chris cornell should never, ever rap

last night lyne, misty, negmeddin and i spent a gazillion dollars to see audioslave at the bill graham civic center. (you know, i think bill graham would probably roll over in his grave if he knew how horrible the sound is at BGCC). don't get me wrong. i LOVE chris cornell and think he is a walking god (even tho he is probably bi-polar and has hermit-like tendencies), but chris, man, stick to what you know you can do good. and that does not include trying to sing zach de la rocha style. it was really, really painful.

other than that, the meatheads at the show did not disappoint. i got to hear one of my favorite temple of the dog songs, All Night Thing. and one of my favorite rage against the machine songs, Killing In The Name. check out misty's blog because she took some great photos, including enough sequential photos to make a chris cornell flip book and the curious ritual of "manhugging."

when you get into a fight with someone and basically tell them you don't have time to deal with their uber-irritating-AA-recovery-psychobabble....don't expect them to say hi the next time you see them

some time ago at joe mud's awesome hat party, i got into a fight trying to protect a friend from a giant loser. i've seen him twice since then and everytime i'm like hey! it's...ohhh yeah. nevermind. well i saw this individual at jojo's awesome, extremly late 30's birthday party on saturday. i dragged lyne along and we chatted with the gay's, ate some hawaiin food, danced in the living room and ate cake. jojo was awesome and even humped my leg! love him. photos here.

always have a control freak in your group

at school i am doing this horrible group project that i find highly irritating. it's horrible because its silly. i won't bore you with the details. however, we have this awesome woman in our group who just decided to throw our presentating together because, by her own admission, she is a control freak. yay! less work for me.

Benjamin

ben is doing great! he finally stopped peeing on my floor (only twice) and understands that this is his house now and he waits for me on the front steps until i come home. this morning, while i was typing this, i heard this caterwaul, which is ben's normal meow and quite possibly used to say look at me! look at me! so i walked into the living room and this is what i saw.
