worry wart.

i worry a lot about dumb stuff. if i haven't heard from someone in a few hours they are probably dead on the side of the road and no one remembered to call me. i'm in good company though because jennifer zwick worries about dumb stuff too and she decided to make a bunch of etchings about it. what might go wrong gives 100 examples of disasters waiting to happen. after my incident on saturday i think that her worry #1 might become mine as well.

long day at work. i need this lil guy to help me through.

1-2-3-4.

jana posted some neat philip glass clips from 1979 sesame street and i was inspired to do a little youtube searching of my own. i came across this video of feist guest-starring with her performance of a tweaked-for-kids "1 2 3 4". it is really cute. maybe there is some hope for children's programming yet.

hell of a town.

this past weekend i actually went to new york! i figured that with my moving down south so soon, i'd better take advantage of nyc's proximity one last time. so me and my friend mike flem packed up our bikes and braved the chinatown bus on saturday morning. the theme of the day was "stress free" and aside from a minor accident, the "no plan" plan worked out wonderfully. we checked out the new museum, saw the repainted keith haring mural, hung out with our ridiculously good looking dutch friends, rode across the brooklyn and williamsburg bridges, saw the david byrne building installation, and ate at caravan of dreams with our friend vegan steven. it was my last new york trip for quite a while and it was a good one.
