Tengo Frio



Well, it's legitimately cold isn't it? Perhaps it's time to make the switch to the winter coat.

I want an iPod for Christmas and I just may acquire one for myself. But, I haven't done any of my shopping yet.

Is it a common practice for people to use the holidays as a pretense for getting themselves something they want?

What will you get yourself for this year?

Menace II Society



I made a stop at The Crack House on Saturday and now I'm strung out.
I thought crack wrapped in a burrito was hard core, but crack in bowl? Terroristic.

I Saw:
"The Dead" on Thursday,
the movie "Elf" on Saturday afternoon,
Rufus Wainwright in concert Saturday night.

I would tell you more about it, but if I don't get to sleep soon I won't make it through the week--especially with my withdrawl symptoms.

Want One



Ok, so this was a gimmicky radio show topic and I expect it will serve well as a gimmicky blog topic:

What are your favorite album opening tracks?
You know, when you put the cd in for the first time or the fiftieth time, and the first song blows you away. It has to be track one. Intros that occupy the first track disqualify the song that proceed them.

Here are some of mine in no order whatsoever:


  • Once
    Pearl Jam - Ten

  • That's When I Reach For My Revolver
    Mission of Burma - Signals, Calls and Marches

  • Wouldn't It Be Nice
    The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

  • Blue
    The Jayhawks - Tomorrow The Green Grass

  • Divine Intervention
    Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend

  • Sweet is the Melody
    Iris Dement - My Life



Is that too many? You can come up with one or two of your own, can't you? What a silly exercise. Hey, it's the weekend.
