And, as usual, the only time I get even remotely interested in purchasing clothing is when preparing for cold weather. Yeah, it was 107 this weekend, but what better time to stock up on clothes for snowshoeing and/or snow camping this winter?

Aside from picking up some polypro tops and a nice pair of wool snow pants (black and red plaid & made in VT, natch), I picked up a fleece jacket, gloves, and a hat from here. BUT...even though I was able to buy the aforementioned goodies for cheap, they only ship via airmail from Israel...and that shit ain't cheap.

What the hell - every dollar I spend on IDF surplus is a dollar they can buy bullets with. And I'm certainly cool with that.

I think my two favorite are my x-ray vision and the ability to issue subpoenas. TREMBLE.

August 22nd. I am a-flutter with anticipation. Pre-ordered? Hell, yeah.

I think I might ditch out on that ten-tweny-eight trip up to Northern WI I was planning in order to catch a Nomeansno show. Looks like they're playing in Portland - I can catch a NMN show and thrash Pusbag in one trip...now that's multiasking.

As in "that's how long I've been at my current gig." And I still dig it. I think that might be an all-time record for me.

I have been celebrating my one-year anniversary all day, said festivities including:

1) Going to court and for oral argument (and winning, which was nice;
2) AN EXTRA HELPING OF CAFFEINE AND NICOTINE AT STARBUCKS THIS MORNING WHOO-HOO BLOOD PRESSURE;
3) Some quality time with Mr. Gibson (not the anti-semitic psycho, but the large glass full of vodka, vermouth and onions).

Overall, an auspicious start for Year Two.
