Aquacates, learning Spanish quickly but unsurely, bien accento, loosening up the quirkstraps, Amadeo, KORG plug-ins or even real KORGS, DJing in europa, meeting an excellent Catalan acid house guru, putting together a desk with no instructions, talking to Fito, using the internet in my own house, porch spliff, getting a cool job in europe, talking to friends at home and new friends, missing no one cause youre brain is like "blaow new stuff" but missing everyone cuz you have to try to sleep with no music humming for you, travelling (but maybe not for a little bit), putting out instant classic and sickening rap records, writing more i dont write anything write now which is not write, "the difference between pot and skunk is that you grow pot outside and bring it inside three times a day to listen to Ornette Coleman", watching The Holy Mountain (would love to very mucho), walking everywhere, BICING

Television:
No fanx. Actually, the iron chef with the buddhist monk was pretty tight. Other than that, though, i dunno...maybe MAYBE a little ER. Goddammit. None of this bullshit MTV/OC glaze-over trifeness EDIT 4/07: The Wire is tight

Heroes:
Janet Field-Pickering, my momma with a February birthday; a scholar and an aubergine machine. As a younger me, I was always a little skeptical of the big coats and all the colors, but you should see my gear these days. I love you, and I'm sort of in that spot where I'm down with god being real if you get to bask in some serious light and get to eat nectarines without being allergic to them. I've seen you twice recently and I'm sure you know. We should've gotten drunk together at least once...maybe next time I see you?
David Pickering for the architecture (physical and otherwise)
Ben Field-Pickering: sorry about the ATM incident (shmaybe!)
