Tagged - Can I Get A Witness?

OK. I have been tagged by Binulatti to do this.. by way of Westering Hills. I've never succumbed to one of these before, so be nice as I bare my... well, not soul exactly. Actually, not sure what I'm baring! Stuff, I guess.

5 Items in my Fridge:
1. One bottle of one of my favorite beers in the world, Theakston Old Peculier. Highly recommended if you can find it.
2. Gatorade RAIN Lime Thirst Quencher. You can find it, but not highly recommeded.
3. Pine Nuts
4. Hot Buttered Rum Batter
5. 44 different condiments. Mustards, hot sauces, relishes, marinades... I'm crazy for the condiments.

5 Items in my Closet:
1. Korg M1 Synthesizer
2. A box of This Busy Monster memorabilia (handbills, posters, reviews, cover art, etc.)
3. Long abandoned box of painting supplies (oils, pastels, acrylics...)
4. Some broken cymbals
5. A massive rock poster collection, left over from my mid-90's record store job. I suck at throwing things away.

5 Items in my Car:
1. drum key, hey I've been looking all over for that!
2. 2003 Thomas Guide Pacific Northwest Road Atlas
3. Craftsman Commercial Grade Trimmer Line (for the weed wacker)
4. REI voucher "Good for One Free Pinnacle Climb" (in case I ever feel like hitting the Climbing Wall!!!)
5. Found Dead On the Shoreline, a CD by this exceeding nice fellow my band stayed with, Tim from London. He apparently also plays in a band called Naked Shit.

5 Items in my (Man)Purse:
1. 28 cd's... 3 not even in a case
2. The current Stranger and Seattle Weekly
3. The not so current New Yorker (Apr. 3, 2006)
4. A printout of flights to Japan
5. One pair of scissors, broken

things that god has nothing to do with, chapter 54,395,428,354,320,645

Sweet!

"I firmly believe I'm innocent of the charges against me," Lay said following the hearing. "We believe that God in fact is in control and indeed he does work all things for good for those who love the lord."

I know that I forgot to capitalize god in my subject. My bad.

Hey, the AP article left the lord in lowcaps so fuggit.

"The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" is not good

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is not good. It is one crappy record.

I heard the eight minute track "Colony of Slippermen." It's really awful.

And I own it at home, and I've tried to listen to it at least three times. There's no songs, whatsoever.

touch base back

Hi everyone who reads this blog. It's about time for a new installment in annoying phrases my loud fucking work neighbor says.

On top of all the other grammatical abominations and irritating catchphrase he says on a daily basis, he always starts a follow up call with the phrase "I'm just calling to touch base back with you." I don't need I need to tell anyone here that while you can say "touch base" or "get back in touch" or many other combinations BUT YOU CAN'T SAY "TOUCH BASE BACK!" It doesn't mean ANYTHING!!!!!

It's giving me the Tourette's. When he does it, sometimes I can't help but let loose a little BAHHHH! or ARRRGH! as I reach to crank up the volume on my radio.

Shannon, you'd love it here. We are accepting applications.

I think an "I anonymous" in The Stranger could be in the works, but for now my soul is somewhat cleansed. Thanks.

confused and half-crazed with fatigue, the boy equates God with dentistry

I know. Woefully uncreative of me to just post a comic, but I think it's damn worth it. At least I'm not posting Stephen Corbert! I think that one's pretty well covered at this point.
