i can still get lines in the suit

Though I'm crying inside over my lost opportunity to be professing my love to Britt Daniel right now (this person on craigslist emailed me saying she had a ticket, after i went to bed yesterday, blah), I have another chance to see him at the Siren Music Festival! For free! There'll be six thousand or so ppl there, but I can profess louder than them. :D

I was in a drop-D metal band we called Requiem

God, I love that line so much.

Cute story about the Cubbies in the Times, complete with a picture of the black cat running across their field during Tuesdays' game (awww, they're so cursed):
"Watching the Red Sox win was a very weird experience," said Jim Belushi, an actor and a lifelong Cubs fan. "It was like having a neighbor win the lottery. At first you're really happy for them because it couldn't happen to a better guy. And then you realize that he'll move into a bigger house in another neighborhood and you never had anything in common with him in the first place and he was really a big jerk. I mean, the Red Sox' celebrity mascot is Ben Affleck. Doesn't that tell you enough?"
