La Grande

Another trip down. I am always sad to see them go. I guess this little note is just to say thanks to my friends for being my friends.

I guess PBK can be a sap.

I will leave you all with action shots from another great breakfast. Tradition is a funny thing sometimes. Josh was again able to take on the biscuits and gravy with ease and follow that up with dominence on the basketball court. PBK ate a little breakfast sandwich and resorted to begging for multiple timeouts. I thought that pesky sandwich might kill me.

That woman that I spoke of before seems to enjoy sitting next to me. She must have a ton on her mind.

"most of the time i just tell her....."

She went on with no breaks for a half an hour. I am suprised she has time to eat.

Jandek in Portland

I am not going to be silly about this but I would just like to point out a couple of observations. The Jandek show was very good tonight.

*I have never seen a performer enjoy playing to such a degree yet be able to pay no attention to his/her adoring audience. He could have cared less. Either that was sincere or he is a great actor. Either way that was very cool.
*The music (at points) was very motivating and very passionate.
*The really big thing was his appearance. It looked like Death walked through a door and decided to play from his heart, really weird. Jandek looks like something from a creepy cartoon.
* The supporting band was fantastic. I can't stand Quasi but Sam Coomes was very good on bass.

I hope that he decides to release this recording. The music was outstanding.

I have to thank Ryan again for introducing me to this.

Alex, Jim, and anyone else who reads this blog... I suggest you do some research and read up on this guy. The story alone is worth the time.

I am watching the second season of Six Feet Under and I started playing the first Phantasy Star. There is some cat like thing that just joined my party.

I just bought it a jacket and it likes to scratch the bad guys with its claws.

So I was in the breakroom today eating my lunch. There I am, minding my own business when this woman came and sat at the table just to the left of me. She soon started to talk to herself. At first I was positive that she was on a cell phone with one of those wireless headsets but then I noticed she wasn't. Basically she began having a "work meeting" by herself..... she was talking crazy like......

"This is what you're supposed to do..."

"And she said......"

..... all of this went on for a half hour straight. I tried to ignore it but she might as well have been sitting at my table she was so close.

This would be a highlight.

Goodnight

all of these eggs......

... have forced me to take a very long weekend. I am sad to see it go.

# 117 (I'm trying to avoid using Roundup)

It kind of burns a bit when you get it on your skin. The weather has been kind of nice the past couple of days and I have chosen to take advantage of it and work on my yard. I have spent a few afternoons pulling weeds and trimming the hedges. Yes, I have a hedge trimmer and yes, I used it for the first time today. I am pretty sure I looked very silly to anyone who drove by. I am also farily sure that I butchered one of the hedges pretty good. It will grow back, right? My point is not really a point and all I wanted to say is that I kind of enjoy being domestic. My girlfriend cooks me dinner and I stand outside and yell at the lawnmower for not starting. Huh, that damn machine can be a real piece of shit sometimes.

Magic Key!

I have completed the Triforce, now it is time to destroy Ganon? Really? How old is PBK? PBK might be 10..... maybe 12 but that could be pushing it.

PBK is also watching some TV. Let's run them down.......




1. Soprano's (Season 6)
2. Six Feet Under (Season 1) *Why has it taken me so long to watch this? A great show!*
3. Survivor
4. Big Love (Season 1)

I will also update this pretty often. My plan is to basically document everything I consume in a day. That would be food, music, and TV.

God put PBK on this planet to consume everything and dammit that is what PBK will do.

I'm making progress

Friday night I went out to see 2 shows. I find this to be ground breaking. This was the first time in a year and a half that I have found the guts to leave my house to go see some music. The Dirtbombs were really good. Doomsday 1999 was really, really good..... scary good. What's that? Doomsday has a new album? I will listen to it every day in April, guarenteed. So PBK would like to thank both bands for being in town on a Friday night. I might just be able to go out more often.

ps.. lamb needs a bath.
