If Liz Phair gets married, will the headlines read "Aw, Liz Phair in love"?

I can't believe I saw it, but today at KMart, an average-built man was wearing a mumu. Since he wasn't fat, it only served to make him look like a homosexual redneck. Creepier still, he seemed to know the cashier.

Ooh, I'm excited! The new Greasy Peso redesign is nearing completion! Thank God for Adobe tools. If you'd like to see a preview of what it may look like, talk to me, and I just may give you my secret URL where I test things out.

I had a really shitty day yesterday. I went to downtown Royal Oak with my laptop to go work on my new webpage redesign, and as I walked down the street, nearly every guy asked me to "blow them a kiss" or "let [them] try my glasses" or something else that was implying I was homosexual. The thing is, I really didn't look much different from the way I usually look, except for the fact that I was wearing a backpack. Perhaps the worst part was that both the cable modem and my dialup service were down, so I couldn't post it and feel better about it. Do I really look that gay? I'm not... I'm really not!

I may just be a moron, but I've always believed that using someone else's IM name to impersonate that person (and not informing the party on the other end) was extremely rude. Do you feel the same way? I need some confirmation so I don't feel like a fool for my beliefs. Please tell me your side of the issue by emailing jeff@ass-clown.com.

What's with the Blogs of Note system? Today this piece of crap made it onto the list. Why would we want to read about a guy who can't get over the fact that a girl dumped him? It happens! For Pete's sake, there's a lot of women in the world.. there are more women than men, in fact! Stop bitching in your blog... and Ev, please start putting some more interesting blogs on the list. Like mine! :)

Well, it's been a little while, and I've experienced life as an asexual. And you know what? It's really great! I'm totally satisfied, because I have no expectations! I feel wonderful, and special, and....

Who am I kidding? I really want to make out.

I'm getting tired of all these games. It's depressing all the crap a guy has to go through just to find a good girl, let alone go on a date. As a result, I've decided to become asexual.

Jim (to Colleen): I could make you a straight man for $14.95.

Jim just started to weblog with the demon child LiveJournal, and now he wants some web traffic. Desperately. Well, he noticed that some pretty hip people are linking to me, and he wants to benefit from my popularity. ;) So folks, if you want some erotic poetry and trauma, Jim's your man.

The latest reason to watch MTV or MTV2 religiously -- the new video for "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" by Cake. I don't think Spike Jonze could have done it any better.

Alright, the Beetle scoop is finally here! After an extremely late delivery on Monday, the car is now in my possession. It is a wonderful wonderful car, with many nifty features. (Of course, compared to my last car, this is a Corvette.) It's Techno Blue, with Grey Cloth interior. It drives very smoothly. I'm addicted to this car, and it seems like I can't drive it enough. Unfortunately, the headrest bugs me, and I have no CD player, but the rest of the pros outweigh these minor cons. The pros include the vase on the dash, the steering wheel that doesn't burn my hand after being out in the sun, functional air-conditioning, power-everything, etc.

I'll see you on the road.

Short news bites, because I don't have a lot of time -- I have a new host for my webpages. My address is still www.greasypeso.net, but the physical location of the files is now different. It shouldn't concern you unless you've bookmarked my blog -- I suggest using http://journal.greasypeso.net. The promised Beetle news will be here soon... please be patient!

The Beetle is here!!! More news will be posted when I get to drive it for more than five minutes.

Second false alarm of the day... this time the doorbell was the UPS guy. Eergh.

Today is the day my Beetle arrives. And it's disappointing when you wake up to the sound of a doorbell, run down the hallway, and find that it's just the Schwann's food guy.

Just as you sometimes need Cliffs Notes in school, sometimes you need the Skeptics Annotated Bible to show you what's going on.

My Beetle will soon be here! It's Techno Blue with Grey Cloth interior. Finally, a car I can drive without wondering if it will die on me!

The new Cake single is out, and I must say one thing. "I've got a fever! And the only prescription is more cowbell!"
