23 on the 23rd. hm.

23 on the 23rd. hm. funny.

this weekend, was one of the more bizzaro ones. even though i wasnt at coney island for the big music festival, it certainly felt like i was riding the cyclone. gita and nicks wedding was a perfectly wonderful suburban event and i hope theyre having fun on their honeymoon. real fun, ifyuhknowwhatimean.

one of the odder events that occurred on saturday was just as i was parking the car and heading for the wedding ceremony. its a well know fact that i love the group known as helium. the last song on a certain DJs setlist was “XXX” and well, it was just really appropriate - even the bit about the cherry red sportscar.

i spent a lot of my birthday in tears, for various reasons. one of them was because i was watching “Never Been Kissed.” oh, i am a sap.

anyhow, ill post the WPRB play lists in a little, i need to sit back and relax. decide if i am going to pop quiz or not. my stomach is growling, thats a sign of needing to eat. right?

today’s show, unlike last weeks, was very good. i dont know what i did to deserve it, but i wound up with only ONE PSA in the entire two hours. if you are a frequent listener on my show, you’ll know that i am generally swamped with shit to read. today, i just felt together. which is nice, especially after weeks of insanity. remember, i have tapes of all my shows, so if you want one, contact me.

after the show, i helped dave record pleasure forever [formerly known as SLAVES and playing in DC tonight] for a live set, which has been one of the nice new things on WPRB. well, its not a new thing, but its a good thing to have come back. anyway, it was a lot of fun, and unlike other bands we’ve had to record in our lil’ studio [its no electrical audio], they had a great attitude all around. sorry we took so long for getting the mix right, guys. plus, i picked up the new edith frost and bunny brains cds to review.

“get the fuck out of my bike lane or ill spit on you!” and other tales from a day of dress shopping in the city

oh, damn. that title was too descriptive. story over.

gita’s wedding is this weekend, and quite possibly a trip to coney island. still, no plans for the 22nd. i was about to say it would be really cool if i just wandered around with a bottle of champagne and a sexy dress, but damn, why should my birthday function like every other day in my life?

david, thank you for the gift. you made my day.

though i really dont give a damn about dating, nor am i one of those types searching for some “soul mate” [as big a scam as holidays, both invented by the greeting card companies]. but i have this theory, that by dating a lot, my chances for finding a good egg will be better because i will have eliminated all the bad ones from the group.

yes, all this had been brought on by the fact that one of my oldest friends from childhood is getting married tommorrow.

being the same age as her, how can anyone at 22 or 23 know that this is for sure, a definate done deal? what are the signs? does a heavenly glow appear around the person? does it feel like lightning has struck you the very instant you shake hands for the first time? or is it like, the first person in which you can show every facet of your behavior [good bad and ugly] and they wont be offended, vice versa for them? is it like waking up in the morning and not wanting to run out of the place with what you encounter, or is it like living with a roomate, for good?

whatever it is, yogita and nick know whats up. and i cant help but wish them nothing but the best for the rest of their lives. congratulations.

i also think its awesome that they decided to throw this big extravagant party for me in honor of my birthday. the timing was great, kids!

patty-call-me-sam got married [of course], then you, eventually muddlebrook will bite the bullet [who will be green eyed jealous that she wasnt the first one to take the plunge], then hacker, becky and if everything works out like the way we talked about it in high school, i will probably get married last.

and all of you will be holding up signs that say “i told you so.”

but hell will freeze over before that happens, so dont start making those cards yet.

tom and his girlfriend [what was The Things name? kristen? ill still havent gotten over the "i like to drink mens cum as if it were milk" statement] will say i do, before well, i do.

oh my gosh. i dont
