asymetrical

How do you spell out the sound of whistling? Is there a way to symbolically represent the sound, some sort of onomatopoeia?

I'm fully hibernating right now. I think I went outside twice yesterday. Why are the good holidays, the ones with lots of days off, in the winter? I think next year I'll celebrate Christmas in June. Damn, it's almost next year.

I left my phone's charger in Billings and now my battery is dead. So if you want to talk to me, too bad. Write a letter instead. Or come to my house. I'm inside reading or playing video games.

Oh yeah, that's right. I bought an EA SKATE-box. You can come over and play with it, if you want.

Something rad might happen tomorrow. Right now I'm going to go find a charger for my phone.

holler-days

I'm back in Missoula after a brief journey outside my comfort zone. Christmas at my grandparents house in Billings isn't half as fun as you might think. Unless you like hunting shows or playing board games, it's pretty much the most tedious way to spend 3 days.

Friday and Saturday were pretty sick though. On Friday we had an extra hour of drinking in celebration of the solstice at wor. We're bottomed out on that sinusoid, don't despair. On Saturday I told some people I might go to Bozeman, but I ended up enjoying a night at Miller's. $6 for all the jitterbugging you can withstand, sounds reasonable to me.

It's almost 2008 and I guess that calls for celebration type shit. "And the winner is Hov. SPEECH!"

get them out ya way pa

I picked up the new Wu album. It's tight. George Harrison's son plays guitar on their remake of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." I think it's cool. I have the new Ghostface album too, but I haven't listened to it yet.

Damn, dude. Have you ever busted yourself up while skating and not realized how bad you hurt until you stopped skating? I got totally beat up today, but it was worth it. Drinking two pints of Cold Smoke before going skating is probably the best idea I've ever had.

I've been listening to Panda Bear a lot.

100% quality tobacco

Last night was the First Interstate Bank Christmas party. They invite all the companies that have accounts with them to enjoy shrimp and an open bar. I met my co-workers there, lurking in the corner next to all the giant shrimp. I had a few drinks and then Chris called me and I told him to join the party, and he did. I learned that gin mixes well with more gin, no ice. It was kinda silly, everyone there was old and wearing suits, and then you had the dirty Eclipse crew taking full advantage of free drinks. Tomorrow night there's another similar party for the Missoula Downtown Association. Mob it.

I'm still riding my bike to work. It helps if you eat cookies and Kahlua before you ride home.

Kinda interesting:

hot mustard, hot mustache

Fully Flared? Who cares? New Wu joint out this Tuesday. A perfect gift for friends and relatives. 8 Diagrams, I'm getting one for all my cousins.

There's a new Ghostface album, too.

Last night was the Eclipse Christmas dinner. Fun stuff. Gin, oysters, steak, more gin. It was about this time last year that I drove down from Bozeman to interview with them. Does it seem strange that I got hired?

Hey, fools. Come skate SHEC over your break. I can teach you how to snake kids and powerslide into walls. The new picnic table is pretty fun. Front crooks, go fast and put your nose on it.

This is dedicated to C-Dirty.

major tom's a junkie

I'm feeling up right now so I'm going to do another one. I think it's 'cause I was able to ride my bike to work today. That snow be melting.

Remember when I met Chet Childress earlier this year? I do. The footage from that tour is now available for watching. Right about here.

iTunes stopped being a faggot so I downloaded Born In the USA, the album. And that shit is tight. You shouldn't listen to it though. It's not new, or hip, or pretty, or interesting. "I'm goin' down, down, down, down..." I bought it so I could dance to it. Born to Run is still king, though.

This suits the season.

good enough

I had a lovely time in Helena over the weekend. Repgnar showed me around The Property, a new exclusive housing development on the west side of town, a very big deal. I'm amped on it.

I need to learn some new skateboard tricks. I tried learning frontside big spins over the hip at SHEC, but I just go beat up, shinners and hippers. Maybe next time.

When's finals week? Soon, right? That's fun.

Book Review: Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. Read it.

iTunes is being a faggot.
