UPDATE!!!
UPDATE!!!
UPDATE!!!

the greatest google predicament in contemporary art history.

dear amazon.com,

please stop recommending anthologies of
hal foster's prince valiant comic strips.

surely by now, you must realize that
i am interested solely in a completely different
hal foster

sincerely,
me.

tra la la self-discovery blah

i've always though it was kind of a cop-out that this is my favorite tom waits song

but i don't even really fucking like tom waits anyway.

but i've had it in my head for a while

and i just figured out all of the lyrics

and i think i have a deeper understanding now

of why i like it

for so many different reasons.

there is no reason why i should be telling anyone about this except that i have a blog and can subject you to my whims

if you must know what i am doing right now

i am drunk
and sweaty
from the heat of
the outdoors and
parties
and i am listening to this

while trying to read this


it was a very bad idea.
a little overwhelming
to say the least.
in fact it all just makes me want to
bang my head against a hard surface
while wailing unintelligible intonations.

EEEHUIHUIHUIHUIHUIHUIHUI

(you said it ms. monk)

i'm going to go do something sensible now.

updates from shitty south texas

my dad just asks me
"what's a twitter?"
and i explain
(these conversations about technology always have a strange)
("birds and the bees" role reversal vibe)
(it was clear from our conversation that he still has)
(no idea what a blog is)
(or even what youtube is, for that matter)

then, just now, i hear his voice from the couch in the other room
melanie!
(my mother's name)
melanie!
i'm twittering!
i'm twittering!
i'm just letting you know that i'm watching the news

a moment passes

then

melanie!
melanie!
i'm twittering!
i'm thinking about going to the bathroom!
i'm twittering!

blogs can't change me. i can't change blogs.

i've been surfing
the internet
trying to figure out
what to do with
my life
for the past

hour
day
week
