I was listening to the DPlan's "Academy Award" today and for the first time noticed that, near the end, before the mini guitar solo, Travis screams, "Aw Jason, take it home!" That's just plain funny.

Also got Sacrament in the mail, and read the new addition. The verdict's still out, but I'll just say it's a bit of a mindfuck. But worth reading, for anyone who enjoyed the original book.

From tonight's Daily Show ...
JON STEWART: How old are you?
LUDACRIS: I'm forever young. I just turned forever young not too long ago.
JS: That's funny, because I grew up forever old.
LUDACRIS: Ha ha! That's funny, right there.

Today we took the kids to the pool, and it was a nice change of pace. I played with them in the water, giving them piggy back rides, sneaking up on them underwater like a shark, tossing them up into the air so they could plunge back down into the water, tiny six-year-olds whooping and screaming with delight. If only it were always this easy to win people over, to give them pure joy. Later, I laid briefly on my towel on the deck and felt the sun burning my skin while the pool radio blared classic rock, and "Feel Like Making Love" has never sounded so damn good.

Speaking of which, head over to Slatch and take the poll. My 5 least favorite classic rock songs were "Bad To The Bone", "Brown Eyed Girl", "Cocaine", "Paradise By The Dashboard Light", and "Take The Money And Run", though I could have chosen a lot more than five.
