1. "Nothing depressing, eh, Rusty?" What about that whole 'dying at 30' thing? Huh?" Well, it's not depressing until it's true, and any mention of eating Lucky Charms out of my divot is funny, and any excuse I have to bring it up is worth it. I always tell Liza that I'll become the most comedic when I learn I'm dying. It's a concept she doesn't think is very funny yet, but I guess one of the reasons I love Liza is because she wouldn't think it was funny if I began dying.
2. Nyleva scolded me (via Liza) for making inside jokes on this thing, but I wasn't making inside jokes--I wasn't making jokes at all, since jokes make you laugh and nothing I've ever said is funny. I think the only semi-inside thing I wrote was "The word link reminds me of sausage," which is a quote from Gordon Cole (played by David Lynch) from Twin Peaks. But, as Liza pointed out to Nyleva, I think that she is both (a) cool and (b) hot, so all should be well. I furthermore think that her main squeeze Eric is (a) cool and (b) hot, so maybe one day they'll have cool and hot children... maybe like lukewarm water. (Those post-ellipse words were a semi-inside joke, since it was a line from Spinal Tap, though I keep saying "semi-inside" because the "inside" is only in comparison to "outsiders" being those who've seen neither of these two moving pictures, both of which are in the public domain. So a real inside joke would be something like "In the beginning... GHHAAAHHHD!" which only Tommy, I, and now Todd (maybe Noby, since he knows everything) knows about. In conclusion, I really miss Nyleva and hope that all works out so I can still see her this weekend and spend loads of time telling our own inside jokes.
3. They Might Be Giants' new album is indeed very good, and it will receive an A on my Rusty Likes Music page when I get around to writing for it yet another pointless review. Since all my reviews are pointless, nothing of substance whatsoever, the equivalent of Chris Farley's interview guy character saying "So, Paul McCartney... when you said 'The love you take is equal to the love you make'... that was awesome." Perhaps even less substantial than that. (You know, I don't know if I ever realized that substance and substantial are from the same word. They should really really find me out and kick me out of the English department.)
3. Steph, don't forget Alien Ressurection. He also did that. I haven't seen it though. I'm just sure there's a joke in there somewhere if someone wants to run with it. His name is all Frenchified, if that helps.
4. The "dank" guy was fun. I sometimes wish we had more people like that wandering around Hattiesburg, or at least that I was brave enough to walk up to people and talk to them... maybe with a camera. I'm dying to do a documentary on the people who hang out at the liquor store.
5. Liza also watches the vampire v. lawyers show. And its parent show, which is coming out on DVD soon. Nyleva does too. I don't, though I think all the ladies involved are lovely. I'd hook up with Willow. If you're talking about Angel, otherwise I'm an idiot. Oh, and "Willow" is a character from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, not Warwick "Change Me Back To My Human Form" Davis.
6. For those that can be in the Hattiesburg area 4 Oct 2001, Thomas Jackson (Jason's buddy and one of my more famous fans) has asked me to open for him at the Thirsty Hippo downtown. It will be the first time I play in my own town, in front of people who aren't just my crew of supportive buddies (all the guys on here) and who are instead semi-buddies: peers, contemporaries, colleagues, aquaintances, stuff like that... I plan on embarrasing myself more this time, maybe using a keyboard and built-in loungy arpeggios, perhaps a ukulele, since I'm a weakly opening act anyway. I'm building up to a being a headliner one day.
7. I'm really tired, feel like my inside is hollow. I'm going to listen to TMBG on headphones. They made me feel good for 45 minutes earlier today...
