singin' with a different band
playin' with a different hand

on sunday the boys and i went for a drive to sacramento.� we looked at the capitol building and there was this exhibit of dioramas submitted by each county of california.� i think they were all supposed to have been created by children, but some were totally bad, some were believable and good, and some just looked totally professional as if a child had never laid hands on it.� the one that struck me as completely bizarre was the one that had a miniature model of every hotel in this one county.� i showed them the beat and victor was pleased to find some old cherry red and creation recs type things he wanted.� i couldn't think of anything cool to buy him for his b-day, so i gave him an autographed vic godard & the subway sect cd.� and we had some ice cream & sodas.

i've recently learned of the practice of using cough syrup to get high.� some of my friends call it "robo-ing," after robitussin dm brand syrup.� when i mentioned it to niki & leon, they said there was a rap song about it, called "sippin' on some syrup," except the rappers keep saying "sip sip sippin' on some sysurp."� ROFL.� sysurp!!� i will have to try that someday.� on monday, niki & leon and i hanged out, went to some pizza place that serves melonballs and has kenny loggins' "danger zone" on the jukebox.� so how bad can that be, right?� it was cool.� we queued up led zeppelin's "immigrant song."� twice.� along with the aforementioned zone of kenny loggins danger and some song from the flashdance soundtrack.� then we proceeded to rent "hackers" and "thrashin'" and proceeded to sit around drinking margaritas and making lots of hackin' and thrashin' jokes all night long.� good combination.� they are really good friends.� i like 'um a lot.
