one year later...
11:17 p.m.
so yeah, today is one year on dland....hmmm.
a year ago i was writing about the solar eclipse, and TODAY i tried the new eclipse cigarettes. me and the boss took 'em for a test drive. have you seen these things yet? they're odd...they can't SAY they're actually a safer cig, but they sure are different. we have brochures that kinda explain everything. they don't really make any smoke when they're just sitting there. there's this little thing stuck in the end you light, i can't even describe it. the cigarette HEATS the tobacco, it doesn't burn it...huh?
only about a half inch of the thing actually burns. it's being promoted as not making your hair and clothes and drapes smell like smoke...oh, when you exhale there's plenty of smoke...it's just a very weird experience all around. when i was done (eventually you just don't get any more smoke when you inhale) i tore it open to see what was inside. there was plenty of tobacco left, but it was black.
i cut open an unsmoked one, and the inside is lined with silver paper, i guess that heats things up, cuz when we were smoking i said "tim, touch the damn thing, it's red-hot!" i call 'em digital cigarettes!
tim's got a rocket from the crypt sticker on his car...he's a hepcat, fer shizzle.
i developed some concert pictures of a band today, and it took me a minute to realize that it was pearl jam...they all have such short hair now, and one of the guitarists is pretty gray, he looked old.
real world paris (RWP) looks like it's gonna be good. i just couldn't watch vegas, the girls all looked like strippers, i dunno, it seemed pretty boring. could it have been because there were no fags that season? nah, i'm not that shallow...
on RWP...ok, ace is a babe...the guy with the low hairline looks creepy with his hat off, the irish pixie gaiboi is cute too, and that guy with the afro was reminding me of lionel richie, and all of a sudden he mentioned that his father had been in the commodores in the 70's!!! that was weird...but i haven't heard WHO his father is. i actually went to the RWP site at mtv.com, the message boards are so silly...but i heard one of the guys is gonna "experiment" with his sexuality...oh, it couldn't be ace, but i'll bet some of you have your fingers crossed!
i think RW should have a low-budget season, have them live in some crappy place, make the whole thing low-tech for a change. and does everyone have to be beautiful? how about some FAT people? do they think no one would watch? an all-dork cast? someone in a wheelchair? a blind person? at least survivor had a deaf person last time...
and what's up with that gary busey show coming up on comedy central? that's so odd. hey, he's no anna nicole...yet. i DID see that episode where she took her toothless cousin to get her hair cut and died blue...uh, yeah...ok...it IS a train wreck, but i dunno, i could get into it.
rob stopped by the store tonight, i told him he looked good in all his dark clothes, cuz he did. his grandma's gonna be 94 tomorrow! and he told me last week that billy joel is rich enough for me to download some of his songs...we were listening to the nylon curtain, i LOOOVE "pressure"! oh, and i downloaded "no more tears" by ozzie today, the song AND the video. it's one of my favorites, i'm not kidding!

"Once again you've wrestled a big smile from me on a morning when I am tired, ill and angry! XXX"
"Time for a reality check. Yup so people write things from the heart, very personal things...indeed I do so from time to time. But, hey, if it's that personal and you feel that possesive about it, DON'T WRITE IT ON THE PLANET'S MOST ACCESSIBLE MEDIUM EVER INVENTED! I don't mean this to be confrontational but if one truly means one's writing to be 100% personal one will write it in a locked tome hidden from prying eyes. I love the fact that someone else might like what I have written. Erm...rant over."
thanks, lad! it means a lot. (you won't find those in MY guestbook, if you know what i mean...)
oh, and to see a really clever, totally original template, go look at chubbychic...
