a couple of days ago i was walking into my office and i noticed a little group of people talking near my door. when they saw me, they all stopped talking and looked at me. i went into my office, and one of them followed me in and asked if i could do him a favor and make a quick $150. i started to get on my knees, but he said no, he's doing an hiv prevention ad campaign and the latin guy dropped out and could i fill in? so, here are the ads. they are going to run in papers and magazines and bus shelters(!) in sf, la, nyc, chi, and seattle.this is the one with my face
this is the "morning after"

i've noticed that other bloggers have been winning TiVo's. it's a little writing contest, so i decided to throw something into the fray. you have to convince the judges why you think you should get one in 250 words or less. here's what i wrote:As a child, my family was poor. My parents would give me the little bit of money that they made but soon enough, they were arrested for counterfeiting and I became a ward of the court. At the orphanage, I won a tape recorder in game of dice against Sister Mary. It was black and had the built-in speaker and the red record button. I‘d hold it against the speaker of Father O’Malley’s HiFi system to tape my favorite songs on the radio. You’d hear the scratching of the speaker fabric against the microphone and occasionally in the middle of a song you’d hear, “VICTOR! What did God tell you about using the stereo without permission?” It was so aggravating, but it was the only way I could record what I wanted. Well, thirty years later, things are still the same. My parents finally got out of jail and we’re still poor. They did get a television after my Uncle Joe died (Don’t tell my Aunt Dottie. She thinks it was donated to the church). I still have my recorder and I use it to tape television programs. Sure, it doesn’t have a picture, but that’s what my camera is for. It was a decent way to record my shows, but then I saw an ad for TiVo. What a dream come true! Please, consider me for one of the recipients of the free TiVo. You will make me a very happy man.
P.S. Did I mention that I’m single?

another reason to hate new yorkers (except for the one's that are my friends and loyal readers): yesterday after folsom street fair (which was a blast) my friend brian and i went to a party. it was a crowd in which we only knew about three people, which was fine, because lately i've been trying to meet new people and i'm running out of friends to screw. my friend rob was telling a story about how when he talks to people from ny who come to san francisco, they are always very gung-ho about moving here and how much they love it (who could blame them?). then he said that he though that ny was sooo much better than san francisco. so i was like, "well, where did you grow up?" and he said "here". so i said, "well, that's why. i was born and raised in ny, so i was very ready to move away". then this ny artfag pipes in, "so you are from ny? i am too. where were you raised?" and i said, "well, i was born in the city but was actually raised in the Poughkeepsie area." then he said, "oh... i bet you always drop that part when you tell a story. I was raised in manhattan". i wanted to kill him, right there with my bare hands. then brian and i were hanging out in the bedroom and he walks in and says, "this reminds me of my apartment in the city. i have a brownstone." so i said, "and i bet you're all alone there too." and walked out. eat that, bitch.

for all of you out there wondering, this is my beautiful husband in whom i will always be indebted to for giving me a reason to live. also, he's been bugging me about getting this link up, which he thinks is really funny. i'd have to agree.

i am completely shocked right now. i just went on napster and got this message:
* Unable to login: hotguysf: Denied Access by Sade
sade! but i love your music. how could you file a lawsuit against me? i HAD every intention to buy it when it came out. all i wanted to do is hear the new song for christ's sake. and to add insult to injury, the radio is playing your new song right now. this is fucking crazy.

so i can't say that today was a total waste, here's a story:
a while back i returned to new york to see my family and friends. they don't live in the city. they live mid-state in duchess county (hopewell junction to be exact). so going home generally sucks. besides seeing the parents i can't stand i have to do it in a town that still has a karoke bar. so i met up with two of my high school friends, leigh and karen and decided to drink some pitchers of beer at the aforementioned bar. we get in and there are about 15 people hanging out. there's a girl on the little stage singing "kiss me deadly" by lita ford. i think you get the picture. we start drinking and decide we should sing a bit. well, singing a bit would be a lie. we wound up taking over and doing a concert. it started with me singing "tainted love" which is in my key. then the 3 of us sang "love shack". it gets worse. after a rousing version of "mony, mony" i told the audience that i wanted to bring it down. i pulled a bar stool onto the stage and went into a soulful version of "if you don't know me by now". then to bring the energy back up i started to sing "enough is enough". it got to the part when the tempo starts to rise and i'm holding that note ("and we won't waste, another... tearrrrrrrrrrrrr) and all of a sudden this black girl in the audience, which has now grown to about 30 people, comes in with the donna summer part! she comes up on stage, grabs a mic and belts it out. the crowd roared and applauded for at least a minute. but i knew they wanted more, so we gave it to them. we then broke into "sweet dreams". leigh sang the melody and i did the harmony. karen (a trained dancer) did interpretive dance behind us the whole time and for the finale' did a cartweel into a split. the crowd was floored. we got free beer for the rest of the night. it was too fantastic.

funny you should mention that reese. i love sade, too. i'm going on napster now to see if it's been leaked yet...it has. actually, it is just the single "by your side". very nice, but no jazzy sax. just drum, bass, acoustic guitar and synth.

i subscribe to wired magazine and they sent me this thing called a :cue cat. it's a barcode reader shaped like a cat (to compliment the mouse. har-har) and it allows you to scan anything with a barcode. when it picks up the barcode, it spawns your browser and brings you to that company's website. it's really strange and mildy addicting. i got home at 10 last night, installed it and wound up staying up until 2 am scanning everything in my house. it also has a connector to the tv that will pick up cues from shows and commericals. they say that i won't be buried in spam and actually they'll send me coupons and free stuff based on my preferences and what i already scanned in my house. i'm sure there's a privacy thing going on, but my life is an open book anyways.

in case you didn't know, jessie over at contrasts and i go to the same school and take all the same classes (along with my friend john). well, it seems that jessie has found someone in our monday night class to take a shine to. he actually passed me a note (which i should've scanned for you all to see) that read, "i'm in love with another 20 year old. shhh...". then, at the break, he pushed the kid into a mud puddle and wispered to him, "i love you" and ran home. ahhh, puppy love...

okay. my ankle is starting to hurt.
but alas, there was a little light in my inbox today when i recieved a message from one of the editors of Unzipped. he said he like my site. very nice. also wants to do a piece on MOD. that could be quite nice too.
sorry to gush, but this new madonna album is really great. okay that's it for the madonna stuff. no more. i promise. until her next video comes out.

ok. i am the type of person that the record industry hates. last night i got the entire album of madonna's music from good old napster. i then burned it to a cd and even made a pretty little case. sue me. i'm going to buy it when it comes out in 2 weeks anyway.
but now onto the review: to put it in the words of my MOD brother demitri, she is TO THE NEXT LEVEL! it is such a fantastic album i can't stop shaking. tracks are:
music - you have to have heard it by now. it's a very funky french dance song. it's great for the jeep.
impressive instant - this track had me on the floor in convulsions. it is so rock solid and will definately be the club anthem. makes you feel like you're on x with k.
runaway lover - kind of cliche'. it grows on you, especially when it gets to the part where you feel like you're in the bathroom at club universe (all muffled and warpy)
i deserve it - the first slow song. very folky and guitary. great harmonies for pat and i to sing on long road trips.
amazing - not the aerosmith song, retard. sounds a bit like beautiful stranger without the 60's harmonics.
nobody's perfect - my least favorite song. kind of silly and tounge in cheek. sounds like the power of goodbye with the moog synth.
don't tell me - no, it is suppose to skip like that. those crazy french producers making you think the cd is faulty. nice gituar riff and sounds like air (the band, not the element.)
what it feels like for a girl - this is suppose to be the 2nd single from this album. has a little fluffy clouds beginning. great girl power song. done tastefully. not spicy.
paradise - okay, i feel slightly ripped off. this song is on mirwais's album and has been available for a while. it's a great song, but i would have liked something new.
gone - another folky/electronic/harmony song. really good. i'm really glad that her slow songs are palateable and not as saccherine as her older stuff.
so that's all. if any of you would like an advance copy, perhaps i will let you ftp it from me. ask me...

ok, here's the first of many burning man blogs. this one is called "the fisherman". there was this trick i saw a person do with a bag of pot last burning man and i decided to do my own twist on it. one night, i tied a really long string to the end of a bright blue glo-stick. then i threw it out the length of the string into the road and sat in my camp, waiting. i wanted someone to walk by and think, "sweet! a free glowstick!" and then when they reached for it ZING! i'd pull it it right when they were about to pick it up. oh what a laugh that would be! so i waited. and waited. and waited some more. no one was biting. people just waked by, ignoring it. bikes rode over it. not one person was interested in getting a free glo-stick. i couldn't believe it. i would have certainly picked it up. wouldn't you? so i'm waiting and my friends are making fun of me, saying that i'm a lousy fisherman. then this guy walked by with his friend and said, "hey, someone dropped a glowstick." his friend said "yeah.." and they both walked on. rats! i turned around to tell my friends to stop laughing and then i felt it. a girl had picked it up the glo-stick while my head was turned. i immediately pulled on it, but she had a good grip on it. we both pulled and pulled and just when i thought i had the upper hand, my line broke. she screamed in triumph! i screamed, "NO!" she then did a dance and ran off into the darkness laughing manaically. that girl is now my moby dick. one day i will catch her. every burning man hereafter i will be fishing for her. and one day i'll trick her. i promise you.

i'm home! this year's burning man was by far the absolute best burning man of my 6 years of going. sorry jessie and jonno, as much as you guys want to believe that it was better when it was smaller, this year was the exception. i met so many new friends and saw so much amazing interactive art that i cannot wait to go next year. please boys, save your pennies and come with me next year. i promise it will change your life. i am exhausted right now and will be writing about the various adventures later. i'm going back to bed.
