as most of you know, i'm a big fan of dodgeball.com but i've never really used twitter. i signed up and then it just sat there. but maybe i'll start using it. you should add me. ma.ke.it-funky.now at g.mail d.ot com minus the odd dashes & spaces. =]

this new el-p i'll sleep when you're dead album is really great. plus it has cat power, trent reznor and some people from the mars volta, yo la tengo, tv on the radio, and other good cameos. the black dog - dogma release is good too.

i renewed my better world club membership and only afterward read that geico had similar services and is cheaper. d'oh.

the anti-marriage article that i was interviewed for is out in this sunday's seattle times. here's part one and part two.

my mom hates my new owl necklace. "that looks like something your grandmother would give you." (this is not a compliment. my dad's mother likes to give me jewel-encrusted horrors.) i got her back by saying that next weekend i'm going to come over and photograph her jewelry. she makes awesome jewelry and my dad makes lovely wood carved boxes, so i've decided to start an etsy store to sell their stuff online. the name has to reference parents in some way. so far i'm considering yomama-yopapa but if you have any better ideas post 'em up =]
