I've "upgraded" to the new SPONSORSHIP+!! level of livejournal, and I just noticed that it carries those 'ads by Google' things alongside my entries, and aren't those the ones that magically align themselves with your interests? I can't wait to see what they glean from the random shit I've been writing in my journal. How many entries do you think I'll have to write that mention pretzels before I start getting the ads targeted at Google's "likes pretzels" demographic?
I'm going to see The Black Heart Procession at the Fillmore this Friday and Built to Spill on the 21st at Slim's. Although at the former show, thelist seems to think Calexico is the headliner. They're not bad, I like them okay. I've missed a bunch of good shows lately, too.
In other news, Cursive has a new album coming out, and while I'm willing to board the "smaller group = tighter band" bandwagon, I also feel like I might miss the cello. Either way I'm really looking forward to it. Also either way, the guy they had reading poetry between Mike Park's and Cursive's sets last time I saw them was hella crazy.
OOOH ooh pictures. There are totally no pictures of me at Ben's birthday party. Well, there's one of me getting Erik T.'s phone number (score!)...
And there's a totally Myspace-appropriate picture that has only half my face...
And there's one of my hand, and one of the side of my head, and one of the back of my head, and another one of my hand (on Eric R.'s shoulder this time), and one where I'm pretending to flex, and Eddie looks hilarious, but you can't actually see me, and one of my chin (nice-looking chin though), and about four with my eyes closed...
There's this one where the perspective is so weird that I look like I'm eight feet taller than everyone around me...
And then this one, which is totally misleading because I actually had a great time the other night.
But the other 79 shots had nothing to do with me. However, if you want to see what everybody else looks like (I know, why would you?) I'll totally publicize
this link until Ben asks me not to.
