Kayla and Brendan, live at the Improv

First of all, congratulations to Eric and Mandy. I look forward to our kids growing up together... Amazing, they're all going to be in the same class, graduate elementary school together, get the drivers license at the same time, get IDs together, study abroad at same time! Wonderful stuff. All of those parties will give us plenty of chances to drink and smoke. Happy days indeed.


Secondly, please give Alan a warm welcome to this blog. Cappy Al's got a shitty picture down there. It's making everyone else look bad. If anyone has a pic of him where he doesn't resemble a giant basketball face, please send it my way.

Bored of this blog? Upset that no one has added anything to it in a while? Well, have Mr. T fuck it all up for ya.

The Woman With Her Legs Apart.

Will the real Saddam please stand up, please stand up, please stand up.

I went through that book list, and here are the ones that I've read that I can recommend to you : (I ommitted the obvious ones like Catcher in the Rye, The Fountainhead and stuff)
Coupland, Douglas - Microserfs (Booze borrowed my harcover copy of this one, and the F'er never returned it. It has since gone missing. I'll never forgive him.)
Herbert, Frank - Dune (just finished reading this, LOVED IT! It Sci-Fi, and although I'm not a big fan of the genre, this book may encourage me to reconsider. Fantastic story.)
Palahniuk, Chuck - Choke (quick read, not that great, but if it's on sale, pick it up)
Shelley, Mary-Frankenstein (You know the story, but it's a great read anyway.)
Stephenson, Neal-Cryptonomicon (Cappy Al has my copy of this. I found it very entertaining. You may want to get a second opinion on it from Al.)

While you're at it, the list has a book that I didn't have the patience to read, but it seems very interesting in its concepts. There's an excellent review of it... Discipline and Punishment. If anyone sees the Cliff Notes on this, pick it up for me. I was forced to read this in college for one of my communications classes, but I valued my freedom too much to give a shit. The irony kills me.

Also, Jay gave me a copy of Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States. It's way too detailed for my limited attention span, but i still got through about a quarter of it. I thought it would be better to specifically find out things that i missed in American History (and in case it came up in Final Jeopardy) so I looked up the French and Indian War... a complete unknown to me. I was shocked to learn that in the 18th century, the Brits deliberately spread smallpox among Indians by giving them blankets which were infected with smallpox. It was one of the first recorded cases of biological warfare.

A bit too late for some of us... please please god don't let my kid be like this.

I plan on reading at least one book by each of the authors on this this list. I got a few out of the way already. You do too.

It's a great list. Some day when we get old and grey, maybe we could start a book club? We're too young and cool for that kind of behavior now, but it gives me something to look forward to.

I haven't smoked weed since I left the US. I miss it a lot.

I am looking forward to smoking lots of cheeba when I get back home for Tal's grand affair. Hopefully, I'll end up looking like this bloke.

As soon as Papa Booze sends me pictures, I'm gonna post them up.
