So I went to a concert tonight. First i've been to in a long long time, mainly because the only concerts Ivan tolerate anymore are those outside where I can lay in the grass and relax with friends, drinks and other outdoor accessories. Cramped shows at cramped venues tend to bring out the worst in people, or just the worst people I guess, so I don't really go anymore. So why tonight? And why is this worthy of my first blog entry in months? Well, built to spill is playing a couple of nights in sd this week. I never got to see them when I used to go to concerts, and always kind of wanted to see them. I guess this post serves to encourage the one person who still might read this to go and see them on this tour. They played quite a few songs from there's nothing wrog with love that were neckhair raisers, car in particular. But what was most interesting was how old these guys are. I guess they were probably old when they helped me through teenage love crises, but onstage they looked really old. But the familiar songs and comfortable unedginess really made for a "pumping, epic, and alltime" show. I think the autotune era (much thanks to chers do you believe in life after love) is the first in music where I really felt old. I feel like most new things I hear these days make no sense. Not that I've given up, afterall, I don't want to miss the next "turn my swag on." but I think for concerts, Im sticking to bands I listened to pre highschol graduation. Good thing pearl jam is touring this summer I guess. -- Post From My iPhone
While it's no private island with an infinite pool and a waterslide from my bedroom, the la Valencia hotel in la jolla has been a nice way to spend my obgyn recovery week. Fortunately the "damn economy" has made it cheap enough for my dad to stay here. As you can see I am reaping the benefits.

Anyone who knows me well, knows the tale of Courtney Johnson. The full story can only be told over cold beers, but the short is this is a girl I crushed on hard in 7th grade, then she moved away and in the pre internets age I thought that was that, THEN she showed up in the same city as me for college and I ended up reconnecting with her. However, this serendipitous event was not enough, and my awkward attempts to get a date with her led to getting spit in my face. So...15 years later, Courtney is a photographer and feels kind of bad about spitting on me. She just put together a pretty sweet show called "human cities" and sent me a sweet print set of Tokyo. Check it out in the pic above or at www.cournteyjohnson.net. I am pretty happy with how it looks on my wall.
So the red machine finally hit the big 200k. I meant to take the picture below when it hit 200000 but in the midst of my 31 hour call disaster I forgot. So I took the picture at 200100 this morning. I've been thinking about what to get her for her birthday. Here's what I came up with.
1. A road trip. Cliché yes, but when I bought her, we went cross country from WV to ca. I would love to do it again.
2. Soapy headlights wash. On married with children, al used to go to a place called soapy headlights to get his car cleaned. I'm sure you can imagine what the headlights were.
3. Insurance fraud. I'm not sure what she'd be worth, but I've always wanted to be a white collar criminal for a day.
4. Get her on pimp my ride. I don't know if xzibit is still doing this, but i'd love to have a badminton net come off the side of my truck.
5. Get involved in a driveby. I'm not sure how i'd do this one, but it would leave her with an awesome tattoo. Like that orv in goonies.
If anyone has any ideas send em along. I owe her...

Finally have the hackintosh up and running...now using an efix dongle with my asus p5w dh deluxe mobo. Not a compatible mobo according to the efix website, but all works perfectly with the exception of time machine. With 10.5.6 is giving me a builtin network interface error...I'm just using databackup instead for now. Also got some monitor mounts on eBay, so my desk is reclaimed! A more important thing in this photo are my new kicks, kso shoes from vibramfivefingers.com. Most comfy (and strangest) shoes I've ever owned. Kind of look like gorilla feet...I highly recommend getting a pair of these. -- Post From My iPhone
Is anyone else a little creeped out and annoyed by this bobby jindal guy?
He kind of looks like a reptile. The only redeeming part of this speech is his overdoing it with intonation...it's right up there with Pacino in scent of a woman and keanu in point break.
