The "nod" is not something to which only people who organize events are privy. I have discovered that simple partygoers can also exchange a knowing nod with other people who are enjoying their surroundings. Maybe I should call this nod something else so as to differentiate if from “the” nod of which is referred to in Groove.

Any suggestions?

You may remember a year or so ago, when some mail was stolen out of my mailbox. At that time at least two of my credit cards were used to purchase items to be sent to Indonesia. It was a strange occurance. Well, it has happened again; not the mail theft part, but the credit card fraud. One of my credit cards was used to buy gas in Texas yesterday. The credit card company said that it was probably a test purchase to see if it worked and that a larger purchase would have followed, if they hadn't locked my card. These credit card companies are pretty cool sometimes. In any case, like Lukas said last week, it's time to be more careful about how I use my credit cards.

"We Remember Them"

In the rising of the sun and in its going down, we remember them;
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them;
In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them;
In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember them;
In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them;
When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them;
When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them;
When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them;
So as we live, they too shall live, for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.

Anyone wanna' sport a new set of wheels? You could even pretend you are that guy who rides around Boston on his own tricycle all night long yelling nonesense.

I went and surveyed the damage this morning. My car is not going to salvageable. The damage looks to be more costly than what the car is valued at, so I plan on getting rid of the car. Fortunately there is a lot more value to the car in separate pieces. So it is time to part out the car. Tonight I had it towed to where I work, and from there I will probably take it to James and the Saabworks collection of busted-ass cars.

No, not the Radiohead song. Airbag, as in, I had my first experience with an airbag tonight in my car. Don't worry, I'm fine. And so are the people who were with me. The car, however, is a bit bent. I'll know more about it later.

I was in the middle of writing a post here. While I went to look for a link to include in my post, I loaded a site. The title appearing at the top of the browser said "Why Netscape Sucks" and my browser promptly crashed, taking my laboriously written post with it. I'm not even using Netscape, I use Mozilla. Oh well. Back to the drawing board.

No, not amnesia... I am actually suffering from Amnesiac. Well more acturately, I have been suffering from a lack of Amnesiac, the 2001 album by Radiohead. Back when it was released, I had preordered the limited special edition version of the album. Somehow, months later, my copy of the CD was lost. I stil have the special cover and book, but the CD was gone.

I have now replaced my copy of the CD. Not my copying someones either. For Radiohead it is important to me to own the actual CD. So I just put it in and amreacquainting myself with the tunes.

Last night was good. I felt like I did some cleansing of the mind. The evening began by hanging out with Emily, Gen and Lukas over at 80 Porter. Then I headed to Great Scott's to see my friend Dean's band. It w as good time and there were a lot of great people at the show. Shortly before the 2am end of the show I headed to Hartley Terrace and rolled around for a few hours with Heather and Sean. I think thats were I got most of my cleansing done. Good conversation, good atmosphere, and great friends. My evening found its way to my bed around 6am for some most rewarding sleep.

Off to see Kid Koala tonight at the Middle East (strange that his personal site is not working). Them maybe tomorrow I'll head up to Killington, VT were I've been invited to thrash on a friend's rallycar at a RallyCross event.
