the weekend
had to get up early for work today. just thought i'd say a quick hello, good morning! worst work week ever, but more on that later. for now lets just bathe in the wonder of what the
Beck/Jack White song will sound like on Beck's new record

saturday may have been my most traveled day ever . . . woke up in w. bloomfield (where liz was house sitting) . . . traveled to ann arbor for a little urban outfitters shopping (not remembering that it was art fair weekend) . . . drove around for 45 minutes looking for parking that wasn't $10 . . . after a couple choice purchases, headed back to the fern for more impromptu spending . . . $200+ later i'm sitting at the hastings street ballroom in detroit for some improv hilarity . . . then a quick bite at national coney in royal oak before heading out to TIME in pontiac to see a washed up Tone Loc perform his 2 hits, cover rappers delight, and debut a new single . . . back home passed out on the couch watching ferris buellers day off
sunday . . . tried to get a gathering at the wab . . . friends bailed . . . liz and i decided to get drunk on shawns wab birthday gift certificates . . . ran into sara brucey . . . exchanged #s . . . future plans look promising
tonight was the short awaited Ours performance at the Magic Bag . . . always a great show . . . who else plays for 2 1/2 hours for $12 . . . wish there were more songs played with the entire band . . . jimmy on solo acoustic makes me sleepy after 5 songs . . . tried to call amber during i'm a monster . . . biggest drawback was the 25 minute instrumental played from behind a burlap curtain that started the show . . . the new material sounds amazing . . . maybe the best yet
has anyone bought the new modest mouse? . . . opinions? . . .

the buried secret of M. Night Shyamalan debuted on
SciFi Sunday night. what i thought was going to be an hour special about his new movie "
The Village" left me 3 hours later with chills throughout my whole being. if its an elaborate hoax, its the best publicity stunt i've ever witnessed. it airs again Friday morning at 8am. 2 of 4 million Detroiters agree its a must see.
