6:02 PM: Of course Pacific Bell didn't show up for the DSL installation Friday. They even went so far as to deny me three times before the crow of the cock. But they will be among us again, in the lifetimes of some of you who hear this. It is written.
6:56: Weekend Media Report
Finally saw Holy Smoke with the very healthy Kate Winslet and the still quite nasty Harvey Keitel. Certainly many funny bits. It looks great in the way that Jane Campion's films do but that I can't quite put a word on - something about the colors. Kate's a lovely gel. But... I dunno. I have that missing-bottom-step feeling. I kept wanting her character to be smarter. Not in the sense of sitting there thinking, "Oh for god's sakes, get a clue here!" More like, I just assumed that surely she was doing this on purpose, surely she knew just what was going on and was playing a wee game with big bad Mr. Keitel. Si? No? No? Oh. No. Bleah. I mean, he plays her a half of a videotape that's not much more than "Oooh, cults, they're BAD! Jonestown! Booga booga!", and she's in the bathroom crying? Sincerely crying?Not much else. Read the new McSweeney's, the one that comes in the box. It's so strange. I think it gave me nightmares one night, although that could have been the burrito.
I am remembering why I started hanging out at the bar so much - without anesthetic, my brain she is the wart of worry. All night the thinking thinking thinking. Why have I not solved the problems of the world yet? Why are there homeless people in San Francisco? How is it that we have all these rich fucks around here and we're still closing emergency rooms? When am I going to pick up those video tapes from the front room? How should I arrange the bookshelves? Shouldn't I really just go to a lumberyard and have them saw up the boards for me and make some bookshelves instead of buying them like a lazy capitalist pig? How could I have been so mean to that girl in senior year of high school? Should I get up and wash the tea pot now?
9:09: Oh! And I handed out fish to all the potential Madfish commie conspiracistsisistssthing people at a party on Saturday. Lana in return brought me my SAY OOPS t-shirt. It's-a verra nice.
Willfully blind self-indulgent nebbish or amusingly quirky old coot? And how bout that local sports team? Discuss among yourselves.

unreliable but it's all in good fun. Yep.
