25 years ago MTV played their first video – the Buggles’ Video Killed the Radio Star.

25 years later, radio still plays music but MTV no longer plays music videos.

You aren’t fooling anybody. Nobody is in that big of a hurry what ain’t running.

Fast gait + color copies == wasting time.

There’s a Nabisco bakery a little ways from the house, down on 73rd & Kedzie. When the wind is blowing right, you can tell what they’re baking.

My neighborhood smelled like Nilla Wafers today.

Rob, the man who has done all of my tattoos, apparently no longer works at Sacred Heart Tattoo and has opened his own shop, Holy Mother Tattoo. Yes, it’s a religious experience. If’n you’re in Atlanta GA and want some ink, give him a ring.

While I’m on the subject, the best piercing place is easily Piercing Experience also in Hotlanta. A close second is Chicago’s own Progressive Piercing, where Scott did a lot of his work with Brian from Piercing Experience. They’re good folks and really know their stuff.

Apparently it’s quite hot in Berlin and there is no air conditioning at the hotel. Or at the conference, where people are hot enough in the lectures that they’re taking off their shoes to add foot funk to European swarthy body funk. No restaurants seem to take credit cards, which makes eating even more difficult than just being a vegetarian. Add in a craaaazy language you don’t speak with some folks being real jerks and I can see why she’s not having a decent time.

Hope you get to come home early, darlin.

I’m asking you for your good and for your nation’s security to take no unnecessary trips, to use carpools or public transportation whenever you can, to park your car one extra day per week, to obey the speed limit, and to set your thermostats to save fuel. Every act of energy conservation like this is more than just common sense — I tell you it is an act of patriotism.

– Jimmy Carter, 15 July 1979

I found out Tuesday that I’m going to China for work.

…tomorrow.

So instead of being at the office, I’m at home washing clothes and packing, which mostly consists of drinking beer and smoking cigarettes while the machines downstairs slosh and rattle.

None too thrilled about 3 days notice for a 10 day international trip over a 4 day holiday weekend, but I’ve been keeping my mind limber with a strict julep regimen.

Hopefully, my holmes Ray will be able to come over from Seoul and hang out next weekend. No promises, nor do I know what my itinerary over there will consist of. We’ll see how this trip turns out.

Keith pointed out to me that the livejournal rss feed that was set up got bombed by a bunch of old entries.

HAW HAW AHAHHAHAHA.

i love it when web shit breaks.

Yawp, the city nearest which I grew up in made the news today, and not for a meth lab.

Maybe going to China for work, had to get pictures for the visa application.
