How I've been wasting my time lately



Alright, so you've got me. I"ve had a little free time lately (mostly when Mike D is out of town) and I've been indulging. Not just in my nightly glasses of wine either. I've bought my first video game. It's a game I saw in Japan at the Shimizu's place and just found in the states: Katamari Damacy. In this game, this little green prince rolls up everything in the world to create stars. Nalyd just kicked my ass in this game while recuperating from a bad stomach virus, but I still trudge on rolling up elephants, giraffes, and giant navy fleets in my spare time.

And what else have I been doing? Well after hearing that this was the funniest shit since sliced bread, I finally watched Yacht Rock. And it is fucking hilarious. It validates my college obsession with Michael McDonald and Steely Dan, and makes me fear Kenny Loggins as all people should (though not as much as Phil Collins, the antichrist).

As Promised.....

Here is the link to the Austin Chronicle's article on Chicken Ranch Records, Mike D's label. I'm ooozing with pride and refering to him as el presidente at home to get him used to being recognized as a mogul.

Mucho Apologies

It's been way too long since I posted anything here. Since moving to Austin, my free time just seems to evaporate in front of my eyes......but in the best possible way. I did have some time to myself while Mike D went to Europe with Willie Heath Neal but chose to do some much needed nesting instead. So what's cooking with me? Well, besides being dropped headfirst into small time parenting duties with Miss Thing and The Rockstar, there's been a quick job shift whilst still waiting to get my license to massage. Mike D has also whisked me away to some of the coolest shows I've ever seen including Yo La Tengo from about five feet away and a free Flaming Lips bonanza. He's sweeping me off my feet.

And speaking of the dreamboat, Mister Mike D and his Chicken Ranch Records will be featured in this week's Austin Chronicle due out Wednesday. Get ready for an overly-proud mass email coming your way.....
