    From Kittenpants on Repress Yourself

    These Modern Socks!

    This is a conversation I had via AIM today

    Fishboy: I just got a TM* that the p’zone is back
    Kittenpants: excuse me?
    Kittenpants: the pizza calzone?
    Fishboy: best food name ever created
    Kittenpants: wow.
    Kittenpants: someone texted you that?
    Fishboy: yep
    Kittenpants: and then you IMmed me.
    Fishboy: yep
    Kittenpants: that makes this the saddest use of technology, ever.

    Reminds me of the time I went on tour with Corn Mo and The Polyphonic Spree. I was only joining him for a few days, so at one point, I went back home to NYC and Corn Mo kept going on the tour. A few hours after we parted ways he called me. I was in the mountains somewhere in North or South Carolina and there was no reception, so the cell phone kept disconnecting. Eventually I had to pull off the highway and into a town where I could call him back. Turns out he was just calling to let me know that he tried the new (at the time) McGriddle, and that it totally ruled.

  • No longer jealous of your taco night.

    Someone farted on the subway in close proximity this morning. I think it was the dude who tried to hold the bar next to me but couldn’t because it was too crowded so he surrendered to the bar on the ceiling. When the doors opened to Union Square, he left and so did that smell. He was good at farting quietly. Strong and silent like a Steinbeck character. He should be proud.
    It should have been me. Because this morning, I had breakfast tacos. That I made. Even the tortillas. So good. I miss being able to get them easily as I did in TX.
    I really like Robert Rodriguez movies. On the dvd special features for Once Upon A Time in Mexico he has a 10-minute cooking show on how to make the puerco pibil that Johnny Depp eats and then shoots the chef for making it so good. I learned how to make it. And then, I learned how to make tortillas for my tacos from this video:

  • Tattooing

    I don’t have any tattoos. I never knew what to get that
    future me would approve of. And neither does my friend, Dave, who plays bass in .357 Lover. But he tattoos other people very well.
    Here’s his work on Johnny Murder:

    He just finished the label for the new Coney Island Beer:
