I made a really great and giant salad for dinner, which has given me really bad gas. Luckily, no one is around to think any less of me.

I never realized you were gay.

In my defense, I was traveling for 5 weeks, and I had to attend a wedding. And it was winter.

But yeah, I'm a clothes-horse. My dad says I pack "like a goddamn woman."

Defense? I never said there was anything wrong with being gay did I?

But seriously BER, I'm sure you'd've put those shoes to good use. You looked damn fine when I met you at the BP/BT show last year...

...wait, I never realized I was gay either.

I would not respond to a personals ad from someone looking for a BP/BT.

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. I've been living way out in the country for eleven years, and it's hard to believe that this is the first time one of my dogs has gotten sprayed by a skunk. The smell was so strong I could smell it through closed windows.

I guess the dogs are sleeping outside tonight, which bums me out since I won't be seeing them again for close to a week.

Many of us have speculated about BER's collection of little shoes.

I thought I heard Bill Hick's voice coming from this thread.

My first though was "Tomato Juice Bath" but some Internets searching now makes me think that an un-urban legend (?)

But this sounds more feasible - you might try this (combined from eHow.com):

"In order to really rid your pet of that stench, you need to change the chemical composition of the odor itself into a compound that has no smell. One idea is to make a mixture of a quarter cup of baking soda per quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide. Add to this a little liquid detergent and you're ready to wash that smell right out of your pet."

Skunk odor removal - 1 quart 3% hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
1 teaspoon liquid soap

Mix together and use immediately. Use this mixture several times until the smell is nearly gone. Use over full body if desired after a couple of bathings on the sprayed area(s) only.

Warning:
A) Use this formula on areas that got sprayed, do not shampoo all over the animal. Skunk spray is an oil and will spread to the other parts of the body by scrubbing it into other areas.
B) Do not store in a closed lid container, toss out what you don't use because this mixture will exploded in a sealed bottle or container.
C) Hydrogen peroxide can dry out the skin, so be careful to how much you shampoo your pet with this formula, and as well it may make the fur lighter (bleached out) due to the hydrogen peroxide in the formula.

COUNTDOWN: only 7 more days until SEVERANCE CHECK DAY:

AND ALSO, THIS LITTLE DETAIL FROM MY DAY:



FUCK PAULINE, FUCK MICHELE, and FUCK BEN.

We now have a Steinway B piano at the studio.

I'm listening to the random CDs on the 25 disc player and I just read the Gary Numan thread and "Me I Disconnect From You" is now playing somehow.

I'm drinking Point beers.

Just had a big ole piece of Home Run Inn pizza, and now I'm going out for a brisk walk.

Trying to decide on something to do this evening.

Kontrol Panel was supposed to practice. At least Chris Bjorklund, Jean Chapdelaine and myself. Matte Black, drummer, broke his hand last winter, snowboarding. It's been over 6 months since he found out it was broken. He played with it in that state for several painful months. So he's doing the Def Leppard.

Ms. zom is on a 500+ mile hike in Spain for 6 weeks.

I guess I'll head to the Kontrol Center and rehearse some awesome leads and driving chord rhythms on my Starfire III.

We are currently the laziest band in Minneapolis.

Doesn't Grant still live in the twin cities? ;)
