i can’t think of the adjective right now, but i love kids who are mature in stature and carry themselves like adults. i can’t fricking think of that word and it’s driving me crazy. it’s one of those words with few synonyms and is used to describe kids who are super cognizant and are wise beyond their years and it starts with a P. ugh, no wonder why i suck at scrabble.

anyway, i came across this pic of my nephew in a tux when my sister had one of those renew your vows 2nd wedding and he is so cute here that i almost can’t stand it, it breaks my heart. mainly because it scares me how time flies when you uses kids as a measuring tool for time and can see with your own eyes how much time has snuck by. after my 21st birthday, i’ve been completely oblivious to time and can’t recall any significant age-related milestones which i think is pretty common. 13 you’re a teenager, 16 you can drive, 18 you can vote, 21 you can drink and go to clubs and bars. i think of my 20s as one ongoing long year not punctuated by the standard calendar year. goddamn, sometimes i forget how old i am when i buy booze at the corner store and say i’m 27 when i mean 28.

looking at this picture is a bit of a shock because it didn’t seem that long ago, but i swear he’s like 8 feet tall now, has a myspace profile, and i suspect says curse words when i’m not around. holy moly! not that i’m mad at that. i’m just saying, wow & wtf. anyway, hope you stay safe and warm tonight and have a fantastic 2008. i’m gonna take this bewildered moment as a reminder to treat my time as valuable and make decisions that i won’t regret in the coming year. does that count a resolution?

i did a search for atari cakes this morning and i am very impressed.

that joystick looks so good.

i really admire pastry chefs.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been boring and sick with this cold that makes it feel like andre the giant is lifting you by the head and squeezing it between his palms. Anyway, I’ve been aware of the inactivity i guess cause last night i had a dream that i finally had something to post about and then woke up only to realize it wasn’t real. I was going to praise Wu-Tang’s Taxi/Car Service because they arrive within 5 minutes of a pick-up call and charge a cheap flat-rate of $15 from SF all the way to the peninsula and they get you to your destination super fast. The best thing about it was that you could end up with any of the Wu-dudes as your driver and they would tell you stories that you knew were bullshit but were entertaining. Thera-Flu gives me weird dreams. I know this had something to do with me thinking about the Wu-Tang Financial Dave Chapelle skit earlier yesterday and also because Ghostface has been coming up in conversation a lot in recent days.

I caught Katie’s cold that made her sound like Demi Moore, except when i woke up this morning i sounded like Lucille Ball in her 60s. i kinda like it. Having this somewhat androgynous raspy voice makes me want to record myself talking shit and/or making threats like some kind of She-Serg and use it on a mix.

it’s rainy and windy as f*** outside. tonight i’m going to be inside spending some quality time with two of my favorite comforting things

if you want to see a This is Spinal Tap kinda film but with real idiots, I highly recommend that Metallica documentary Some Kind of Monster. Those guys come off so dense it’s unreal. here is a stupid but true summary I put together when it came out if you want to know what it’s about.

This made me laugh

Loudspeaker Karaoke Scares Conn. Teacher
1 day ago

ROXBURY, Conn. (AP) — Karaoke can be scary, but threatening? A school custodian’s impromptu after-hours karaoke performance prompted a police response when a teacher thought she was being threatened over the loudspeaker.

State police say the teacher at Booth Free School barricaded herself inside a classroom Wednesday when she mistook someone singing a Guns N’ Roses song over the public address system for a threat.

She was working after hours and thought no one else was in the building. Then she heard someone say over the loudspeaker that she was going to die.

Six troopers and three police dogs showed up and found three teenagers, one of them a custodian at the school, who had been playing with the public address system.

Police say one of them sang “Welcome to the Jungle” into the microphone. The song contains the lyrics “You’re in the jungle baby; you’re gonna die.”

The teenagers were cuffed for about 15 minutes while police investigated. They didn’t realize anyone else was in the school at the time. No charges will be filed, said state police Sgt. Brian Ness.

actually, i realized that i’m not so good at “real life” bowling.

but the biggest loser of the night has to be

this right here is probably the funniest thing young has ever done. young is the type of person who thinks he’s funnier than he actually is, so i am really proud of him for once succeeding in an attempt to be funny all the while staying true to his stifling annoying attributes.

sorry i’ve been busy with work. 2007 was one of the best years i’ve had in a while. here’s a retrospective. instead of posting a zillion pic recap, i just threw together a lil slideshow.

I had a week off before I started my new job so I spent some quality time with Sr. Hugmilo aka my future baby daddy in South Arizona. Specifically Tucson, Tombstone, and a 1950’s trailer park in a historic copper mining town called Bisbee.
