There's a cello in your house now.

About Me

I pretty much rule.

I say rockin a lot.

I hold onto napkins and straw paper.

When I introduce myself I say, "Hi, my name is Joe."

I have no idea.

I probably don't care.

I'll laugh at my own jokes.

My Interests

15%

3% Defrosting the Freezer. There's something really satisfying about starting with a freezer with a 3 inch layer of ice, hacking away at it, and in the end there's a totally clear and clean icebox. Gives me a true sense of accomplishment. It's also the limit of my ambition.
3% Committing wrongs.
2% Drinking (this one can gain and lose value...)
2% Righting previous wrongs.
1% Video Games and Computer Crap
1% Finding cool stuff cheap
1% Other (which must cover food, bathing, & other recreational actvities)
.01% ))(( ...Forever.

I'd like to meet:

Cat, Josh (because he no longer wants to know me, so that just makes me want to meet him more), Eva, Rob, Kristi, Russ, Worm, Marti, Christine, Wade, Peggy, Tony, JT, Lindsay, Dave, Katy, Rob, Amy, Caitlin, Ashley, Briana, Randy, Jamison, Melissa, Yes Me To Death (a damn fine band), Lil' Ashes, my niece Sintra, Andrew, Angie, M'Lynn, Ines, Manny, Erica, Hannah, Lowell, Jessica, Bill, Chiquita, Michi, Ricki and Jim Reid but not Tom the myspace guy, I don't like him pretending everyone is his friend, damn it.

Music:

35%

6% The Jesus And Mary Chain
4% Joy Division
4% Pixies
2% Jane's Addiction
2% Curve

You get the idea, I like noisy alternative crap that sounds like it was from 1992. If you know of anything I might like, I'll probably tell you I already know about it and don't like it, because I'm a fussy elitist pain in the ass.

Latest New Band: Jesu's new CD, it rocks.

Television:

25%

5% all the TV that no one else in cool town is watching
4% Arrested Development
4% The OC at Eva's House

1% Whatever the hell is on, and I won't lie, the TV is always on, I may not be actually watching it, and if you ask me what I'm watching I probably can't tell you, but I can tell you that it is certainly on

Kenny Vs Spenny used to be my favorite show in the world, and then the second season happened, and they ruined it all, they had everything and they completely ruined it.

Books:

10%

4% Phillip K Dick
3% David Sedaris and the like
2% Neil Gaiman and that sort
1% Whatever I randomly pick at the library.

Right now I'm reading Ananasi Boys by Neil Gaiman.

Yes, I go to the library, I went to the library in LA, and it's not the best. They do have a surprising number of books about TV and movies though. LA also has a library of TV, where they can show you any episode from any show ever. I've been there once, when I was on vacation with my family. I got the episode of Conan O'Brien where Dave Letterman was the guest, it was very entertaining.

Heroes:

0%

Heroes are dead people that we've decided not to remember the bad stuff about. Everyone's got some bad stuff.

I take that back.
I forgot about my one hero.

Someone took all my change.

Last night someone broke into my car, or more accurately they opened the passenger door which wasn't locked, so "breaking in" is a strong word. Then they went through my glove box, and threw stuff aro...

The show last night

Last night I went to go see BRMC for the Litteradio.com housewarming party.  They leased a new warehouse downtown, and were breaking it in.  They actually had a great set up, with incredible...

My Car

I kinda hate my car. It was free, my Dad's girlfriend's old car. I used to have a car in Boston, but I got rid of it because having a car in Boston is much more trouble than it's worth, so then when...

Little Kids Rule

Today actually went to the Los Feliz library, and its a pretty sad little library, but they had the new David Sedaris book, so I was pretty happy about that. And the best thing happened. While I...

Rescued by Porn Stars

I was in a car accident tonight, second one in a year's time. Once again I'd be dead if it weren't for the seat belt. Wear your god damn seatbelt. The good part is a couple of porn girls helped u...

New Years in LA

So I had my first New Year's in LA, it was a pretty good time. I started out with no plan, and in the end i was at a party thrown by the guy who wrote some blockbuster movies. He's got a great hou...

What?! I can blog too.

I'm going to just keep writing and see what comes out.  I went to see Evan Dando tonight, so that verifies that I am 30 years old.  He was pretty good, I think he was jacked up on coke, beca...
