    • . aren't they great? 2005_1224Image0003 this is the gallery space filled with all kinds of wonderful stuff. After mosey-ing around for awhile, i purchased this:2005_1224Image0005 the 2006 naked souls calendar, featuring this piece by yoly stroeve and this:my first bukowski my very first bukowski. i was initially drawn by the cover, but then i was overtaken by my fascination with what the big deal is with this guy. So far i have read two stories, and i find him both amusing and apalling. i'm not quite sure how i feel about him at this point
    i am however very taken with anno domini. if you live in san jose, check them out. i put my name on their email list, and i can't wait to someday purchase an original piece.

A funny thing happened when my friend and I went to pick out seats. We ended up sitting right next to Kyle Gass and his girlfriend. for those of you who aren't familiar with who he is, he's the other guy in the band who's not Jack Black. We had our momentary silent freak out when we realized it was him, at which point I quietly leaned over and told him he was awesome. He quietly thanked me, and normalcy was restored until a few kids came over asking for autographs. He obliged but soon realized the mini pencil he was given to sign with wasn't going to work.

    awaiting the arrival of the great pumpkin

    happy halloween everyone! tonight is the night that all of the little ones have been waiting for all year. i remember being going trick or treating as a kid and the smell of mixed candies and pillowcases, the stomach ache you'd get from consuming 1/2 your bagworth an hour after you'd get home, and protecting what was left of your stash from the hungry hands of those around you. I used to hide a lot of my candy, and then forget about it and find it a year later, gooey and stuck to a notebook in the back of my closet.
