I have a cold. Happy October.

I am staying home in bed and watching baseball.

It is autumn and chillier now and I am happy about that.

Mogwai has this new b-side called "Stupid Prick Gets Chased By The Police and Loses His Slut Girlfriend", which is just one more amazing song title for them.

I love a good apocalypse scare as much as the next guy, but:

Supercolliders do not cause black holes. Sorry.

There was this huge storm and our power was out for two days but now it's back.

Spent $100 that I didn't have fixing my amp today.

Went to 63rd street beach. Super neato.

Got a haircut. Very short.

Ate a buffalo sausage. Awesome.

Had a good show tonight, drank a lot of free beer.

Need a new job. Maybe two.

The end.

Two of my pedals started fucking up. Then my amp. Then my computer crapped (I'm pretty sure it's the motherboard, not the hard drive, since the Windows restore disk won't even load). Then my iPod went kapoot (and I can't restore it since my computer's down). MY TECHNOLOGY IS DYING.

Barnes&Noble eats it.

This isn't like working at a book store at all. It's like the Gap, but without jeans.

"We need to put the 'sell' back in 'bookseller'." Actual quote.

(I'd prefer "'cell' back in 'book cellar'" myself.)

I'd like to get paid to lift heavy stuff and not talk to anybody. I think I'd be decent at that.

Tonight on the train home (while it was 11 degrees outside) I watched a skinny old guy eat an entire half-gallon of ice cream.

That, my friends, is an artist.

Things that are Awesome About Not Living Out West Anymore, #3,412:

When someone out here asks me "How are you?" and I reply "OK.", they NEVER EVER respond "Just OK?" or "Why not great??"

Dear People Who Take the Window Seat on Planes and Immediately Pull Down the Blind and Fall Asleep After Takeoff Without Offering to Switch Seats With Someone Who May Wish to Look Out the Window,

You suck.

You are pitiful, awful, detestable, selfish human beings. You have made my List of Evil. You're right up there with People Who Have a Favorite Starbucks Location and People Who Use Words Like "Proactive" With a Straight Face.

Go to hell.

Love,
Ben

Yesterday the high temperature was 40 degrees. By midnight it had climbed to 53 degrees. Now it's noon and it's 17 and snowing. This city's fuckin' weird.

My new band had our second show last night. It went better than the first. I'll let you folks know when we put some songs up online.

I'm going "home" to the Orangest of Counties for Christmas.

DEAR CHICAGOANS,

PLEASE STOP SHOVELING YOUR WALKWAYS. YOU ARE ONLY MAKING IT WORSE.

see here:

freezing rain + 6" of snow = plenty of traction, no problem.

however:

freezing rain + clear sidewalk = DEATHLY DEATH of DEATHSVILLE

I don't care how shitty you think it looks, it's safer just to leave it alone. Buy some fucking boots.

Love,
Me
