So I finally had the talk with my guy, now my ex-guy. It took longer for me to stare at the bed and be painfully silent than it did to have the discussion. It was good to go on record and all, but he pretty much said he'd known when I moved out of the room that it was marching papers time, that he was incapable of hating me, that being angry wouldn't get him anywhere, and that everything was cool. So we went out to IHOP and I called out of work. This is the most painless break-up (unless you count the months of agonized decision process) I've ever had, and I think my ex- is that much greater a guy for giving me this unlooked for gift of peace.

If you're happy, we're happy. So, are you gonna fly to Cali to be driven around topless in Nate's Volvo to celebrate?

the acura, the acura.

Oops -- I forgot. Better sound system. (But no new car smell.) Why do you have 2 cars anyway?

it's california. everyone has multiple cars. where did you get two from? why not three? or four?

i have 7 tricycles and four vespas.......

i think Margret has a story to tell,why don.t we listen?

I know I spelled listen wrong.

i am all ears........& waffles

God Waffleboy,your even stranger than me,I,m gonna my Mom.

tell my mom.

Three cars wd be too great an extravagance /even for you, Nate. I only said 2 becuz I thought you really weren't into that conspicuous-consumption LA mentality. (*sniff*). So, how many cars DO you have?

j.......its a combination of gin.....cpl a bong hits and a hydrocodone...aka......tylenol 3....aka coedine......aka good time....lucid........it's thrusday night.........10pm....my girl and i play about the house.....we have short attention spans..........and yet we still manage to get the laundry done in an orderly fashion...... did i mention my 3 tricycles

What happened to the other four?

now i have but one car. the volvo went from my driveway to my cousin's. a wedding gift for her and her new husband.

i traded em for the gin

Nate, have you ever lived passed lives under the names of paul or alex???

Yeah, how'd you know?

Guess My surname and I'll tell you....

Alcott?

hey there little lady. we don' need none of that.

The Breakup...*huge, long, soul-emptying sigh* My honey children, that adorable band of mischievous raucous elves, the little baby apples of my eye... are no longer together. Folks, the Jesus Lizard have broken up. After 10 years of audial mayhem, the sonic equivalent of a middle finger shoved in the eye of the mainstream is no more. I'm unconsolable.

I heard that David Yow will be featured on an upcoming Melvins release. On this same album, they will cover "smells like teen spirit" with Leif Garrett on vocals. I can't wait. Jesus Lizard never did it for me like Scratch Acid did. That first album was almost perfect.

I only cared for the Jesus Lizard rekid Liar, it rocks reel good, the others never moved me so but thats ok i guess, but i feel as if we are in a musical lull, everyone is so busy regurgitatign other ideas and others are striving to make indie rock good again, and it just can't happen....

Have you ever heard (of) Firewater? (The page is new, but it's got sound clips of every song. The band's two albums sound completely different, so be sure to check them both out.) I adore, worship, idolize Firewater. I could go on and on and on about how great they are, but I'll spare you the gushing. Their live shows kick serious ass, too. I've been to two of them and cried both times because they're so intense. There's nothing like hearing Tod Ashley howl "HONEY, WHHYYYYY?" at 100 decibels. I found the Jesus Lizard's "Liar" to be almost (sshh!) dull, but I sure like "Head" a whole lot, and "Goat" and "Shot" too. And (sshhh! again) I've never heard Scratch Acid.

ohmigod!!!! The hell you say!? Scratch Acid is pre J.L. David Yow and Co. You must find it. Both albums are great but the first one is best. They're both available on the same cd these days. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000019IA/o/qid=930881814/sr=8-1/002-1542694-8744055 realaudio doesn't really give you the warm fuzzies that a cd will but it's there if you want it.

Nate..who's the little lady, me or May? (Or are we talking about Fenella from chorlton and the wheelies??)

i don't know. i'm lost. i think i was talking about your book.

Nah thats not me, wrong surname, but if any rights and money want to work there way in my direction I can change my name!

Ah rally dooo dee clay uh!

help me with this surname thinger.

Dave, I'm taking your advice and getting me some of that. Seeing as I will not hear current David Yow shenanigans, I might as well dig into the past. I just know you're all curious: OOO The little naked man in the back is Mr. Yow.

Hmmmm. Mr. Yow looks like he has a nice butt. YowZA!

Nate, It begins with an M and has an E and a couple of T's in it.....

He's not a...um...conventionally good-looking man, but he's got his own charm. He's also been described as one of the nicest, most ego-less, funniest men in the music biz. *I* think he's adorable, like a little (he's about 5'5") imp or something. See here and here He is also prone to removing his clothing during shows: ;) and ;) There's a part in their "Sho(r)t" film (which is a 1/2 hour look at one of their shows/behind the scenes) when he's looking at the camera and making faces like he's playing with a baby. It's hilarious. *sigh*

Well. I see I scared you all speechless with those nude pictures! Should I have posted a warning label next to them to prepare you for the shock? ;)

Lousi\i UI'm way drunk. are you somewone i 'klnow? obviosuly., this is not the time form e to guess. maybe on the morrow... or tuesday.

Drunk Nate reminds me of a boy I used to know. Minus the self-pity.
