Chuck Palahniuk Didn't Start Writing Until He Was 33
So that makes me feel better. Not that I'm freaking out or anything, but that's been my mantra for the last year or so.
So now that I'm 30, do I have to go and buy this book? Maybe Lockhart will just send me one. But I digress...
I kept everything pretty low key, but I did get an airport extreme card from my parents and Brad just gave me a gmail invite, so...Score!
It was weird celebrating my bday without Molly. She is the best gift giver ever and always made a point of making a big deal about my bday even though I never wanted to. For my bday in 1999, she made a surprise visit to NYC (she was living in New Hampshire at the time) and scored us tickets to the Women's World Cup at Giants Stadium (so best evs), and more recently she organized a surprise party for me at the sake bar on Fifth Ave. in Park Slope. I'm so bleedin' thick that I didn't realize it was a surprise party until the 4th person showed up unannounced! Argh! Keeping to form, I got shitfaced at the sake bar and was forced to go home early and pass out while everyone else stayed out and went bar hopping.
I am so loving the fallout in Lakerland. Rumours are flying that Shaq might be on his way to Dallas for Dirk and Fatoine Walker. That's a high price to pay but imagine a starting five of Shaq, Nash, Antawn Jamison, Mike Finley and Josh Howard. Ouch!
The latest TMac rumour is The Clips sending Corey Maggette, Chris Wilcox and the No. 2 to Orlando for McGrady. This would let Orlando take Okafor and Dwight Howard with the first two picks in the draft. Wowee.
The US advances in World Cup Qualifying.
Fan mistakes Noel Gallagher for Damon Albarn. [via Thighs Wide Shut]
The 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. How the fuck is Parklife in the 70's? And for the record, A Northern Soul and The Bends are miles and miles better than Urban Hymns and OK Computer. I will not argue this. [via Coolfer]
Morrissey at the Silver Clef awards. He opened with Shakespeare's Sister at the Hultsfred Festival.
I'm the difference between indo and oregano
Imagine how fresh I am now
I made these lyrics up a year ago

Felt your pain six months ago. Shoot me an email, and a book will be on its way to you. All answers therein!
Ok Computer is way better than the Stone Roses, not to mention most of the other albums in front of it. Not that I don't like the Bends or the Stone Roses, but Ok Computer is up there with Revolover and Abby Road for me, I'm not sure the Stone Roses make my top 10, maybe top 20. Putting the Stone Roses that high is to give them too much credit, they made a great record, influenced others who then surpassed them -- you don't put Meet the Beatles above Revolver.
Chuck at 33 picking-up a pen, wow.
No worries Kyle - I mean, from a poets side, which is the most desperate and groundless ever, worse than bloggers and such, Frost and Stevens didn't hit a major publishing gig till they were in their 40's. Writing is relative to what's on the page and not what's burning on the cake.
I want Gmail. Even though the new Yahoo is not bad.
It's called a backseat, and that's where the Beatles belong in the 21st century. Sorry bros.
Happy Birthday, we love this place.
Get the new Moz/Smiths Mojo special edition, it's fucking mind blowing amazing. So many details.
