- i broke 30 mpg for the first time tonight on the way home. y'all know what kind of car i drive, right? yeah, that giant boat of a car. fucking rock on. my drafting and speed-management skills are unmatched! when i pay my own gas, every last drop counts, especially when prices are approaching 2.50 a gallon and i'm driving enough to need oil an change every 2-3 weeks.

- i got to the warehouse at work and noticed an old beat up boston bruins duffel bag. i noticed it had #1 on it and laughed thinking there was no way it was reggie lemlin's bag. then i got closer and saw the philly logo on the nametag and then his name. i freaked out for a minute, and then realized that because he lives in peabody and i was going out west (way out west), i wouldnt get my chance to meet him. boo. i did, however, take pix of his bag like the crazy rabid hockey fan that i am.

- pelham ma, unlike it's NH counterpart, is way the fuck in the middle of absoultely nowhere. east of amherst, so not really close to 91,west of 190 so all atempts there would be futile, south of greenfield so not really close to rte 2, too far north of the pike to have any easy access. since i was coming from leominster, 2->202 it was, as backwoods as it is. but -- more and more i'm starting to dig western ma. it was a fun drive, even with the fog. i could live there.

- the driveway to the pelham delivery had a giant downed tree branch across it, heh! it was fun rolling it out of the way and placing it right in the dirt road behind me, for the next oncomer to deal with. :x

- on my way through amherst and noho, i scanned the lower end of the FM dial to check the college stations and who do i hear but djgyn singing about basking in a white light or something or other. i kept it tuned to catch some of the other eurotrance stuff that passes for industrial/ebm/whatever nowadays. all i can say is : nothing new there -- it all still sounds like trance with wussy vocals. they're all still using that tired distorted snare instrument. jeez, enough with the fisher price drum kits, guys.

- the 24 hrs great barrington cumby's still rocks for its cheap gas...and well, all cumby's rock, except i almost had to throw some punk into the frozen food cooler for mocking my gangsta lean.
