Scientology

I was in boulder a little over a week ago and was fortunate enough to see one of those scientology pimps hanging out at his scientology table. There he was sitting at his table in the middle of Pearl St. with a sign next to him asking "Are you stressed out?" Complete with that little machine they hook up to your fingers to administer your personality test and a stack of Dianetics books. I've been dying to take one of these tests but unfortunately I was a bit hungover after Adam's wedding and not really up to the task. I'm really pissed I didn't take, especially because I wanted a copy of Dianetics which for some reason is impossible to find in book stores. Anyway, to make a long story short, this story is really going nowhere.....I'm just pissed I didn't take the test.

Interesting side note 1: spell check really wanted me to capitalize scientology but I just accept it as a legitimate religion(discuss?).

Interesting side note 2: spell check didn't recognize Diantetics as even a word, it wanted me to change it to diabetics. So according to spell check scientology is a religion but their so called bible doesn't even exist. Weird!

Cousin party

Who's down for a cousin party on saturday? Any suggestions on what to do, drink, destroy?

As long as the Sinceros are on the jukebox, it'll be a good party.

Awesome Band

Hey Matt...

Arthur C. Clarke just died - did you ever read Childhood's End? I read it a long time ago, and I'm sure its pretty dated, but it was really good and it should be a candidate for next year's list. Best-Explanation-For-DejaVu-Ever.

How's the reading coming along? I'm at the end of Wuthering Heights (good, and really good if you think about how different it must have been back then) and I'm stuck reading this terrible book by a British man writing as an American woman but I have to finish it for politeness sake.

Orgiastic Fun Friday

Last night I went to a bluegrass band that was playing at my local music venue. I didn't previously associate myself with being an avid bluegrass fan, and I guess I still don't, but that was about as much good clean fun as you can have for 12 bucks. Trampled By Turtles, and Pert' Near Sandstone were the names, both from MN. I don't know how they stacked up against more renown bands but they caved my skull in with pure American boot stompin' fun! I was bounding around the room like an amphetamine strung-out ballerina, shouting and whooping into the fucking frigid bitch Wisconsin night. So if you have a case of seasonal sexless depression, get yourself some bourbon whiskey and bluegrass.
