I've been thinking of ways to perpetuate my existence after I've died. I have made a list:

1. Break a world record.
2. Erect a statue of myself.
3. Actually live forever.

That's all I have so far. I think about it fairly often, but I'm a little stumped. I'm going to have a lot to contribute to the Brautigan Library regardless.

I made chai ice cream for friends at work tonight. it wasn't completely done by the time we clocked out, but they took it home and we're all even better work friends* now.

(* Work friend- A person who one converses with, makes jokes with, and passes the time with who is not, outside of being clocked-in, an actual friend. You may fully enjoy each other's company, and you probably get along well, but outside the context of work you probably would never talk to each other. Ever.)

Oh, and I also traced the bones in my arm as accurately as I could remember with a sharpie on the underside of my arm.

Ad Ogni Costo by Ennio Morricone could be the sound track of my morning every morning. I mean, if every morning I woke up to fresh coffee and beautiful weather. It takes a little work to get there, but go to grooveshark.com and search Ad Ogni Costo. It's the only result and starts with some kind of bass saxophone. It's an extremely fun song, give it a chance!

I sometimes wish I still recorded the doings of each day in a journal. In the past 4 months so many wonderful things have happened. So many adventures and fun weekends and weekday nights. I don't know, i just fell out of it because it seemed to be getting super repetitive. Oh well. If nothing else I have memories f the more memorable moments and can always jot down notes from those later. Oh well. I'm sooper excited for the next 3 months. Holidays, events, nice weather, home for Thanksgiving. All kinds of things. I've been feeling real positive for the past several weeks. My life, once again, has plateaued on the better side. It always seems that it happens to be that way from October till months after. I mentioned I'm axiously anticipating being home for Thanksgiving, right?

I feel I'm deserving of a nice/creative/visually stunning display of my books. As soon as I'm out of St. Augustine that is going to be one of the first matters of business.

Radio Shows: Wolfie and Maury from this week

Radio Shows: Wolfie and Maury from this week

Check this out, it's my friend Maury's radio show broadcasting from Martha's vineyard. It's a cool set up, this station is manned by only a handful of people, all of whom have a wonderful understanding of music and an appreciation for the art of radio DJing. You can stream it on Itunes, it's worth whatever time you have to explore it. I challenge you to listen to it and not find an element you enjoy for find interesting. Definitely one of the better locally run radio stations I know of.

We finally have the internet in our apartment and it's so completely wonderful. If you get the chance, listen to this song, it's been on repeat for quite a while now.

This morning whole I sat outside, I saw these four birds over a course of maybe a minute and a half. I suspect it's because of all the aphids on the tree in front of our house, but needles to say I became a bird watcher almost completely involuntarily.

1. Some kind of finch.
2. A bluejay
3. A cardinal
4. What I suspected to be a woodpecker.

OH YEAH, AND I'VE RECENTLY GIVEN UP ON TRYING TO FIND MY LOST MOLESKIN AND I'M PISSED AS SHIT. Well, not so angry anymore, but there's going to be a piece of me missing for the rest of my life. I guess I better get used to it.

This is my new baby:

I'm a winner! Sweetzorz.

Sometimes certain pictures just make me want to lay type all over them. This is one.

Sometimes I just want to wander back to the coast of Washington and spend the day there wrapped in a wool blanket thinking "isn't this nice?".

Listen to the title track of Disco Inferno's latest, it's refreshing.

So I successfully made cannolis at work tonight. I deep-fried a flower taco shell (wrapped around a metal handle), let it cool, then put a dab of white chocolate and caramel inside and continued to fill it with whipped cream. Afterwards I sprinkled cinnamon on top to give it that fancy French pastry look. And you know what? They were good. Real good. I made one for everyone who was working and even a few for people who weren't. I have too much fun at work sometimes.

A few small things you need to change the world:

+ Coffee
+ A Sharpie on your person at all times
+ An Inquisitive nature
+ An understandable authority over/resistance to "No Trespassing" signs
+ An attitude which allows you to say yes more often than no.
+ An understanding of human nature in general.
+ $20 cash
+ A friend or two.
