I know it's only rock and roll but I think I like it - The Dandy Warhols

Yes I like the Dandy Warhols. At first I wasn't sure about their latest cd but while I was running this morning they started playing on my shuffle and I decided I like it - not as much as Welcome to the Monkey House but it'll do.

So I got this awesome Beatles tee shirt at WalMart last night. It was Rubber Soul and black and maroon - I had to buy it. It made me remember my obcessive Beatles phase in junior high and then I was like whatever happened to those cool maroon converse I had that I wouldn't ever let mom throw away. My main Beatles phase and my converse phase were synonymous. So I was looking for them in the boxes in the garage and I found some old cards - like a card from Pops and a copy of the Velveteen Rabbit that Grammy and Pops got me for Christmas one year. They'd written some cool stuff in it. It means a lot more now that I'm older and just read the script to Eternal Sunshine.

Then I found this card that my friends frosh year at BYU gave me. It had me and Whitney Woppit on the front and Tim Hassel trying to sneak in the pic and everyone had signed it - all the old Budge Boys. Now most of them are married. That still ranks as my best birthday ever. They wrote on the sidewalk near the Tanner Building and put out balloons and they all called right at midnight to say Happy B-day. Then on my b-day they kidnapped me and took me to The Brick Oven and the guys carried me on their shoulders the whole way. Then the next day we went bungy jumping. And I went on 2 dates the next week and both times they sang Happy B-day(one was homecoming and the other was with Clay Bunker to Tucanos. He was the waiter in the Mormon Pride and Prejudice) and then I celebrated later with Carl and Holly.

And other news when I was at Barnes and Noble the other day - they had these hilarious books like Lies to Tell Small Kids by Andy Kiley. Some of my favorites were the one that said spaghetti tries to wriggle back to Italy or that if you put a piece of bologna in the DVD player - it plays a short video about cows or that eggs talk to each other when you close the carton or slugs are snails that got mugged or that wild hamburger live in the desert colonies. Rad! It's like a whole book of all those crazy things that Calvin's dad used to tell him in Calvin & Hobbes. And another book contained Stupid Questions to ask on first dates - some classics were what do you think it feels like to spontaneously combust - or what super powers does a super model have? Or if you could have a theme some play everytime you walked into a room what would it be? - anyone watch that Family Guy episode?

My theme song for today is She Came in Through the Bathroom Window by The Beatles... maybe I should put that on my cell phone...
