just some crap

Ordered my DBT-THS ticket for the Thursday night 11/6 show. It's gonna be awesome, I can tell. I say we (anyone who's reading this and attending) meet up for some happy hour action beforehand. If you've got the time, we've got the beer.

Summer is over. Astroland is over. The future of Shoot the Freak is anyone's guess.

I don't feel wistful about this summer, maybe cuz I'm feeling pretty good about fall. I have like three new shirts, a new hoodie and two new pairs of pants. That's what you need going into any new season. Some new clothes. Just to let everybody know you're still a factor that needs to be dealt with.

I got a haircut, too, from the barber on West 11th street I've been going to on and off for like 30 years. When I was a kid, it was called Little Tony's. Then, maybe due to some litigation or just a fondness for WCBS-FM, it became Little Tony Be Good. Now it is Little Tony & Igor Be Good. Times change. Eventually, Igor may need to get involved. No sense fighting it.

After a quick internet lookup: here's the story. Sad, in the end. Aren't they all? Should I be going to Mr. Joseph's now?

I played hoops on Saturday for the first time since I was in California this summer. I didn't suck too bad at all. Maybe like a 4 outta 10 on the suck scale. I am going to play again this Saturday and next Saturday and every Saturday until my ACL snaps like a rubber band.

So probably like three more Saturdays.

(EDIT: played again this Saturday, I sucked a little bit more than last Saturday, and I took a crippling blow to my midsection that sounded like two sides of beef slamming into each other at 150 mph. I will still play again next week.)

Facebook sexual orientation update: one of my high school buddies who was ostensibly straight back in '87 is now officially gay. And, judging from some recently posted pics, another dude who I used to work with will be gay soon. He's pretty much just waiting for the paperwork to go through. If I ever decide that I am gay, facebook will be an excellent tool for coming out. I think I would probably just update my status to "Hans is now gay. Way gay."

I just want to remind you that I predicted an 85-77 season for the Yanks. Keep some tabs on that for me.
