Peter Bogdanovich & Cybill Shepherd, 1978

Not to be too blunt, but I really want to build a time machine for the express purpose of going back to the 70s to fuck the shit out of Cybill Shepherd.

The girl is a boomerang. I throw her away. She always comes back again.

I was looking for something in my email and found this line I’d sent to myself like a year ago. I wonder who I was talking about.

01/21/12 Alabama Shakes @ the Continental Club, Austin, TX

I knew about this show for a couple of weeks and had intended on going, but then the tickets sold out and so I chalked it up to another, “oh well, maybe next time.” But one of the guys at work asked me if I knew who the band was and we decided to see if there were tickets we could get, and just my luck, they had held back 50 tickets to sell at the door. (It actually ended up being just 20 because management decided they needed 30 tickets.)

So, we made plans to meet up, but a little after 6pm, he sent me a text and said people were already lining up, so he wasn’t going to go because the chances of getting in didn’t look great. I agreed and continued playing PS3, but then I thought, “Fuck this. I didn’t move to Austin to sit in my apartment and play video games.” So, I threw on my best holy jeans and headed to S. Congress, and it turned out, there were only a few people in line.

So, long story slightly shorter, Alabama Shakes is the best live band I’ve seen in quite some time. I’ve been told by more than one person that this will be the last opportunity to see them in a venue this small. I’m glad I went. It felt like church.  I feel like a better person having been there to experience it.

Life is good.

All good things must end…

Well, the Internet signal I was borrowing disappeared and it’s not coming back, it seems, so I’m sitting at a Starbucks sipping a hot chocolate and eating a blueberry muffin and deciding if I want to see a movie today or tomorrow and thinking about how much I need to do laundry, but I don’t want to do it because it means sitting at the laundry room in my complex and I have other things I could be doing.

(Just a sidenote, the female patrons of this Starbucks all seem to have really nice butts.)

A new pal from work and I are going to try to get into Alabama Shakes tonight at the Continental Club. Apparently, they’re releasing some tickets at the door. Should be good times.

Also, no one told me about “cedar fever” which, unfortunately, is not cured by more cowbell.

“Miss Me When I’m Gone”—Eldridge Rodriguez featuring Sarah Borges

This is the most played song on my iTunes. I’ve posted it before. I’ll post it again.

It’s definitely one of my all-time favorite tunes, lyrically and musically, not to mention the way Eldridge and Sarah bounce off each other.

It’s bittersweet, and that’s just the way I like it.

I get my sessions on the phone,
I’m gonna take my pills and spend my nights alone

Counting Crows

For the 2nd night in a row…

I am borrowing Internet. Except tonight I stopped for groceries, and by groceries, I mean beer.

I should be at the Mountain Goats, but I’m a slackass, and rather than buying a ticket last month, when I knew they were going to be playing, I waited, and you can fill in the blanks to finish the story.

But I do have beer.

And some taquitos, should I chose to have diarrhea later.

This is why you don't ever want to sleep with me.

*I didn’t read this, but I assure you, no matter what it says, I still want to sleep with you. And that statement goes for pretty much anyone reading this. I have some pent up energy that needs to get out.
