went to chinatown w/ young yesterday and copped a bunch of useless junk. fake mustaches, sake set, lots of pocky and unethical candy such as cigarette gum. bloated pic of me, pocky and “destructicorn” pic by young

here i am posing with my mustaches today. i almost don’t want to open it

then we drove out of sf to target, where i watched young spend $100 on a trash can

got back home and biked to the lost weekend, used the booth there, and rented an irs era rem dvd

sometimes i’m taken a back by my own dudeness, but it must not be surprising to others

today had pie with young at mission pie.

went home and called my dad to say happy birthday. he had his 2nd heart surgery last week and i didn’t tell anyone or express my worry, we had a good cry. OH MY GOTH! do i hate crying. i felt guilty cause i hadn’t seen him ages and missed him. i think it might have something to do with accepting and openly admitting that i love depeche mode again

i thought it might be an appropriate time to post this surreal & dramatic footage of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse in 1940 which was one of the first suspension bridges ever built. i read not too long ago in one of my roommate’s science books that the collapse was caused by sound waves and wind and the recent MN news reminded me to look it up. here it is swaying and doing the caterpillar before finally snapping apart.

so i gave up beer cause i felt bloated and gained 10lbs in the last year. anyone who knows me, knows how hard this is. one time i went into my corner store and when the dude rang up my tallboy he straight up said “taking it easy tonight?” gahh!! i was so embarassed. i’m kinda scared now though because i dropped 5 lbs in 3 days and that can’t be normal. haven’t changed my diet at all outside of beer but i noticed my heart rate averaged almost 30pts higher during exercise and my arms got all splotchy and tingly. i hope i just have better metabolism now and don’t have high blood pressure. never had it before, but it runs in the family.

i realized recently that second season of twin peaks was finally out on dvd and have been loving the hell out of it. the 2nd season is so out there. i waited a long time and watching it on vhs isn’t the same. agent cooper is dreamy. but last evening i was at a girlfriend’s housing watching tv and this IFC documentary on the NC-17 rating was on. and they showed a clip from that pool sex scene in Showgirls where she was convulsing in the pool straddling kyle maclachlan and i was thinking, yeah that’s not very cool. he’s not so cool in showgirls.
