I got this witch to come over. She had some kind of lizard’s breath sealed in a jar. I called bullshit on her because you can’t seal breath.
So, she farted and said, “You smell that?”
“Yes.”
“Hold on.”
So, she grabbed a mason jar out of my cabinet (I didn’t know I had one) and went to the bathroom where I heard her fart again but this time it sounded muffled. She came out and showed me a sealed jar.
“Here.”
“What.”
“Open it and smell.”
“Okay.” And I did. And it stunk.
“It smells like my fart, right? Cause I just farted in front of you earlier and it smells the same, right?”
“Yes it does but it doesn’t answer how you got a lizard to breathe in a jar.”
And with that she levitated and slid on her toetips to my bedroom and came back out and said,
“You want to see what lizard’s breath can do?”
“Okay, but Jesse will be home, soon. You shouldn’t try to come on to me. You’re kind of seeing him aren’t you?”
She opened the jar and out came a light the color of rainbows and I was blinded by magicked rave lights and when I could see again, the room was filled with water and a giant goldfish (larger than a koi, smaller than a whale) and I had gills.
And then Jesse came home and the water fell out the door. And when he saw that I had gills he thought that I had had sex with his girlfriend. What a terrible yet amazing day!

JUNE, 2004
TMBG TOUR!
I received this email a few days ago:
the second week of July we are going cross the US and then we got a couple of
shows on the weekend after. You want to open ?
–
- Mr. John Flansburgh
So, I’m taking that offer and will see many good times ahead.
Speaking of the Giants, you can download Particle Man featuring the Linnell/Corn Mo duet.
Dallas Genius, David Hanson, Makes Another Robot Head
The first one was his wife. This one is Philip K. Dick. Brilliant. I think you can see it at Wired’s Next Fest.
Read his paper on making robots look like humans as opposed to machines.
“When a robot looks too much like the real thing, it’s creepy”. - Osaka University Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro.
So, more on robots, if you’re in Edinburgh visit here. They had a robot jellyfish in the window. It’s really cool. Real nice folks.
Shoes
I bought some black dress shoes for shows. I’ve never bought dress shoes.
My friend, Quincy, wore his grandfather’s preacher shoes during his set.
Automatons
Oh, and the Tiffany Automaton is a Fake.
And so are the monkey ones.
For those that came out to the show Saturday night expecting a full show, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I was supposed to do a 30-45 minute set and was told 15 minutes before I went on that it was going to be a 3 song set. I had my piano and drummer with me and had to leave those offstage. After hearing some lamentations from folks after the set and from those who missed it completely due to the debacle (what a lovely word) I decided to treat myself to an Italian ice. Cherry. And it was tasty. But for real, I feel a little showtime blue balls (I don’t know how else to put it). So, I’m hoping to do a set, soon. Keep watching the site because I may get one this week.
Ding Dong,

The Giants are very gracious.
I heard this on my computer’s speakers today. I couldn’t tell what game it was but I think it was Divine Intervention. This is what my computer picked up:
