donnie darko

man, I really love that movie.

somehow work has been busy enough that I haven't had time to play catch up with the blog, but clearly I should be doing something other than playing catch up with the blog while I'm working which means maybe my personal life has been that busy too. busier maybe.

read salim's blog this afternoon, mentioned hapax legomona (insert muppet song here), among other things, they've been one of my favorite things for a good long while now but for some reason I had forgotten about googlewacking. wasted about twenty minutes (well, maybe a bit less) coming up with:

calipygian merriment

which I've gone and blown by posting probably but you get the point.

more importantly I had a truly spectacular time camping with ashod in death valley - blew out a tire, nearly died a few times, finally made it to the racetrack, drank a lot of whiskey, saw a desert five point flower (several actually) and most importantly sang every song that ever existed about blogs. tomorrow I'll try and get around to posting a few things, including pictures as well as some details of our travels and travails.

"a splended time is pretty much assured"

plus, again, donnie darko, second time around makes it just as entertaining as the first time. then it happens again, but different.
