http://www.arkansasrockers.com/profiles Recently updated profiles from ArkansasRockers.com en-us So the summer and early fall are shaping up to be: Cluster, Polvo twice and now My Bloody Valentine. So much for supporting fresh young talent. http://www.arkansasrockers.com/Joseph+Askins Has anyone else started having technical difficulties with their beloved iPhone? I think I'm gonna have to send it back.... http://www.arkansasrockers.com/salleyforth Misha, I love that song. Thanks to all that came over last night, and thanks to those that brought food. Jill, that dip was real. We had a blast. http://www.arkansasrockers.com/jones Fayetteville Farmer's Market was just great. That $7 pint of honey is going to be awesome. Come over if you want to do some honey shots. I can't take it with me. Last night was fun. I saw some sweet faces & got some good hugs. Dea, I'm sorry for yelling "vagina" into your face so much. It was just the news of the Duggers having their 17th child that must have got me riled up. Mariah, congratulations! I'm glad I got to see you for a bit. Emily, I hope to see you again while I'm here 479-871-1228 Leigh, I kept wanting to touch your bangs. Let's get together so I can touch them some more. And by bangs, I mean your sweet cans. I'll be back Mondayish & would love to see and do more. http://www.arkansasrockers.com/livenudegirls Metal. Cleaning. Got new CDs yesterday: Torche Russian Circles Boris Titus Andronicus - not metal, but really fucking good The Replacements - Sorry, Ma reissue - the only one I really wanted of the Twin Tone reissues because the old CD sounds like shit Alan's radio station idea sounds like the best idea ever. I call program manager position. Go Lakers. *** Bang Camaro is coming to Arkansas. People that like their 80s metal should check them out. Also they need extra singers for the man choir, so get in touch with me and I'll pass your info onto the band. May 23 - Revolution Room - Little Rock, Arkansas May 24 - George’s Majestic - Fayetteville, Arkansas http://www.arkansasrockers.com/justingoetz labcabincalifornia in 1993, a couple buddies and i were actually pulled over by a cop while listening to pharcyde's "officer." i threw the pipe out the window right away (never did find that damn thing). we were smoking out as i drove by him. i think he pulled me over because i had only one headlight...you know, too stoned to put a new one in, which i eventually did after kenny the cop pulled me over twice for that. we (mark and nick, you'll remember this) actually got away from kenny the third time. that was some classic shit, turning out the lights, er...light, while going down "h" street, from kavanaugh, up and down the hills. someone said, "throw out the 40s!" and mark said, "NO, NOT YET!!!" i busted a right and we ended up back at mark's house, celebrating that getaway. but i digress. after the cop let us go, he was walking away and i cranked up "officer" as he got into his car. "please, don't pull me over mr. officer, don't pull me over mr. officer, PLEASE!" in 1995, i saw pharcyde in seattle, that was one of the best shows ever. a year later, i saw them again and fatlip wasn't with them. after the show, i asked slim kid tre where he was and he simply said, "oh, he's at home." i agree, alan, their second record was nothing compared to the first, although fatlip was on that record, too. it's still a good record but nowhere near a classic hip hop lp, like "bizarre ride II the pharcyde." i tried to get into labcabincalifornia when it came out and although it has two of their greatest songs on it ("drop" and "runnin'", it didn't really grab me on a whole. i've never even heard "plain rap" or any of their other albums. tre left the group, too. it's just bootie brown and imani now and has been for years. "there comes a time in every man's life when he's gotta handle shit upon his own." http://www.arkansasrockers.com/fluke Teaching in Chicago is always entertaining. I've had desks and books thrown at me. I've had a couple of parents and several students threaten to kick my ass. I've been called a motherfucker a lot. But it's ok. At least I'm never bored. And Chicago is great. I just got married! And John Jughead from Screeching Weasel was my minister!!! So that was super fantastic. I would love to hear from people back home. And if you're in Chicago -- let me know! I now have a baby girl -- she's a year old. I also have a blog, should you be really bored. http://www.superfantasticgirl.blogspot.com. Rock On! http://www.arkansasrockers.com/amy1229 It's the nicest feeling to come home after work on a Saturday morning and find that some sweet lady in your life has left you a bag of the first Arkansas strawberries. Last year (?) it was Paula who brought me some and I remember thinking that was the best gift I could possibly receive. Paula, come over and eat some of these strawberries with me. Happy Graduatin', Mer! Here's a Jamaican donkey for you: v.e.g.a.s. http://www.arkansasrockers.com/ProfessorTango Loaded http://www.arkansasrockers.com/cletustboone - Fuck Off, April 2008. > > > > > > > > > Now Playing: Neurosis - Given to the Rising. http://www.arkansasrockers.com/lanticus last night we rented the latest harry potter and had dinner ala picnic style in front of the television. i liked the movie. my niece? it made her sob uncontrollably at the end and i realized that she's pretty scared that i'm going to die one day. funny is watching my puppy act like a freak after i give her the steroids to help her ear infection. the kids are excited to win their soccer games today. i'm apprehensive about this mother's day surprise. http://www.arkansasrockers.com/ilikequittingandrejoining Rachel looks very smart and elegant in Sabine's photo. I'm so proud of her. Speaking of proud, way to do it, Meredith! Have suspended my own graduation until mid-October. Not only does that allow me to relax a bit after this packed-full 4-year experience, but I get to see everybody again. Movin to Baton Rouge around July 15. You know, I want to make sure I get there when it's not too cold. I did make something new the other day--a tart. Not with my Kitchen Aid, but with a pastry blender and elbow grease. It was a spinach-mushroom tart with some ricotta and parmesan in the filling. It wasn't bad, but a little bland. Last night we put sharp cheddar on the leftovers and it was much better. Thanks Tootie. ____________________________ I'm teaching Essay Writing in summer school soon, and I've never taught it before. Anyone who's taken it before, please tell me what was good and bad about it for you. This is my last class to teach here ever, and I don't want it to suck ass. ____________________________ I'm feeling things about smoking today. I read the Sedaris article Chad S. posted, and then I watched that crazy "She's Gone" video Fiona posted, where Daryl Hall chooses to smoke instead of lip-sync his words. Weird. When I was reading the Sedaris, I thought, man, I should be writing about smoking. It's something I know a lot about. But people want to hear about people quitting smoking, not just people musing about it. My favorite line from the Sedaris: "Camels were for procrastinators, people who wrote bad poetry, and people who put off writing bad poetry." Jesus, he's right. On an unrelated topic, I saw Professor Tango's reference to Lisa Frank today. Oh, oh, oh. I was very very into Lisa Frank...many albums full, though Mrs. Grossman's were actually my favorite. I used to buy Lisa Franks at a store in Woodland Hills Mall where I also bought pins with Michael Jackson's photos on them. This was Thriller time. ---------------------------------------- Plans for summer: Picnics with friends. Making stuff with my KitchenAid. Walking around town a lot. Hanging out on the porch. A little readin'. A little packin'. A little dancin'. A little callin' YOU. 2-day birthday extravaganza avec Stacey Mackey. The weekend of June 14-15.

I'm buying organic foods when possible, I'm avoiding things with MSG, I've stopped putting Equal in my coffee and I've stopped drinking Diet Coke. That is, until today. I figured one wouldn't kill me. That dark, sweet, syrupy effervescence. So delicious. Um, yeeeah. Ten minutes later my ulcer was on fire and I was burping flames. Sorry Diet Coke, I’m breaking up with you. Again. Up early to scrape some paint, caulk some windows and prime some wood. I'm trying desperately to think positively about this. I mean, a day is only so long, right?! So excited about our Vegas additions! We are going to have a b.l.a.s.t., ladies! Barbados countdown: One month, two weeks. Vegas countdown: Three months, 25 days. http://www.arkansasrockers.com/Laura The Knitters. Period. Three meals a day with John Doe and the glory of a Telecaster. Delicious. Poor Little Critter on the Road. http://www.arkansasrockers.com/morningjacket ~Jazzfest was so much fun that looking back, I can't believe how much I fit into 4 days. Stevie Wonder, Jimmy Buffet, jazz and funk, Gov't Mule, Panic...and food and drinks galore. Good, good times. ~Hawaii is simply dreamy. I saw a sea turtle while I was snorkeling today. and I have a week left. Beauty is everywhich way you turn here. ~Fiona-new job??? man we need a phone date. Permanent vacay. My job rocks. Most of the time. ____________________________________________________2008 arrived in a hotel room in Seattle, awakened by some drunk banging on every door down the hallway screaming "ROOM SERVICE"...hmph. ___________________________________________________ 2007 arrived under the stars... lots of food,massive bonfire, champagne, kisses and blowlogs included...very much different than 2006 and I hope it stays that way. __________________________________ 2006 arrived with much style, much wine and much shakin' it...

Always too old/never cool enough. http://www.arkansasrockers.com/smiller "I'm disabled now man because those dudes hurt me down there at Taco Bell." http://www.arkansasrockers.com/toddgill Will--Wow. All of that on your maiden voyage. I wish we had Waffle House here. I stick with the hash browns: scattered, smothered and covered, if I remember correctly. Good stuff. Kid Rock gets in fights at Waffle House. Cleveland needs to come up with a different play other than give LeBron the ball at the top of the key and let him take on every Celtic on the floor. He needs a little help. Their trades were good ones, but instead of like seven players of varying degrees of mediocrity, they need one more solid player, like a Pau for the Lakers. Laura Whit--Who was your teacher? I had this guy Jeffrey someone. He was really bad, so I dropped it and took Physics and Human Affairs instead. He was my teacher again. Didn't like that guy, but he cut me a break and gave me an "A." Bad teacher, regardless. It's Friday. I wish it was over and I was in bed awaiting Saturday's sweet kiss good morning...at two in the afternoon. Ain't gonna happen. Sam--That's awesome. It sounds like someone's planning a much needed mini vacay for you. Rock on, 32... Man, Chris Paul is a badass. They lost last night, but that guy is insane. He was clearly pissing off Eva Longoria's husband, which makes me happy. I hope they win that series. The Spurs annoy me. Lindsey--I saw Ratatat with Bjork. It was awesome, much like the Pope's speech. I had to look up footage of the Bushes today and it pissed me off. On one of the tapes, Jenna wouldn't stop giving the hook 'em horns to her friends at a black tie affair. Classy with a capital K. Plus I work with Bush supporters (I didn't think they still existed) and they get upset when I say anything negative about them. Susana--Civic. Not only is it a palindrome, it's also a great car. I wish someone would win who hasn't won the championship in the last ten years.

I'm serious. Fingers crossed. Hope to sell the ol Jeep today. Hey, if you get a chance, and yeah, it's Common Grounds, but if you happen to walk by, I have some paintings in there. Poke your head in for a sec, if you want to. Things are kinda falling into place. I'm going to have a big ass yard sale May 17th, ya'll.
