I did go out early and exercise, then went to the farmers market. I should have stopped there. But no, I felt compelled to go to the record store and entertain the troops, but it was a bad idea.

i had an affair with with a pretty art teacher in high school… we made out at lunchtime in the art room… drove me home in her husbands corvette… went on for a year... in hindsight it was a weird experience
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:21pm
Mike Lupica:

SPEAKING OF CATS, here's a weird one:

My two cats (one a love slut, the other a shy weirdo) have been acting crazy lately... Last Thursday, they saw another cat (a stray that's been tramping around the neighborhood lately) through the kitchen window and the shy weirdo seems to have concluded that -- because she never sees other cats -- the loveslut must be a shapeshifting demon from another dimension because now she hisses at and fights with him CONSTANTLY with her tail puffed out like a raccoon. This follows **years** of peaceful coexistence.

Let me remind you, they simply SAW another cat. THROUGH A GLASS WINDOW. No one got sprayed or scratched or anything, but they've been demons since and I'm starting to worry about the shy weirdo because she's too spooked to eat. Any of you ever experienced anything like this? They have a vet appointment on Thursday.

In all seriousness, I am not a big Half Japanese fan and most of the ones I know dismiss "Heaven Sent" as a novelty song. But I think this is a genuinely moving and great song. This is the 4th time I've played it after previous endurance tests in 2004, 2005, and 2009. No one else on FMU has dared tangle with it!

Yes -- I guess that's why it's thought of as a "novelty" song. I think it was a CD-only affair back in '97 when it canme out, but looks like someone re-upped it on vinyl. Can you even fit an hour-long track on one side of an LP?
