Goodreads
Tonight someone I know sent me a rec on Goodreads, and to check it out I had to sign up. In doing so I appear to have inadvertently invited every single fucking person in my address book to the thing. I didn’t realize this ‘til my mailbox began flooding with the subsequent e-mails and I still don’t know how it happened. I don’t remember seeing a screen. I suspect the involvement of Neo-Zionist lesbian chefs, however.
We have heat from this thing one time at that place. Whatever. It’s a long story.
So if you received such an invite and were annoyed by it, I apologize. Although from most of the feedback I’ve been getting people are at least digging the interface a lot more than Shelfari.
current mood:  annoyed

Car Crash
The Audi's fucked up...
http://picasaweb.google.com/bradley.j.fitzpatrick/CarCrash
(got hit on the left side... maybe my fault? maybe his? maybe both?)
Good thing everybody's okay and the two propane tanks in the back seat (seat-belted in) which I was heading out to refill didn't blow up.
Couldn't find non-emergency number quickly, called 911, they said just exchange contact info and insurance. Did that. Police did show up and took down info and mostly just stood around and watched as me and the other dude had it almost wrapped up by then. Other guy needed to be towed (to his friend's body-shop) but wasn't sure how he was going to pay (no credit card?) so I paid the $200 to the tow-truck driver just to get things moving. Hope that isn't an implicit admission of guilt. Tried to call State Farm to report it but no answer. I drove home, despite the left side doors not opening. Car seems fine.
But I got new propane tanks afterwards on the way home ... who wants to come celebrate a delayed 4th of July tomorrow night at my place? Burgers and hot dogs!

I had a weird dream in which I somehow realized that "no" is the main way people avoid change and responsibility and all the work that Change entails.

sky cries mary
Every once in awhile a song that I haven't heard in a while pops in my head (or in this case a song and fragmented memory of the video)
Back in 'the day' I used to watch "Bomb Shelter Videos" a late night indie music video show back in Seattle. Of course it was also leaned more towards the local scene at the time ie "grunge". I LOVED this show. One of the videos they would play was "Shakespeare Factory" by Sky Cries Mary. Being that was my only exposure to Sky Cries Mary at the time I assumed they were an Industrial/Noise band. I never bought the album.
Fast forward a year or two to 1993. I am now living in Orlando House, a homeless youth group home (has since closed due to mismanagement of money. Actually all of the youth division of Hospitality House has closed because they 'misplaced' a lot of the donations.) At this time I am working at the Tenderloin Times (also part of Hospitality House network and now also gone), so I had a little pocket change (they took 80% of my check and put it into a saving account, the other 20 I could keep). So one day I went to Reckless Records on Haight (now closed) and bought a Chris Connely CD, and Exit at the Axis by Sky Cries Mary (Tony Havoc was the clerk).
At that time I had *just* started to hang out at "Haight House/Beth Guild" and so brought over my new purchases to give it a listen. I was going on about how Sky Cries Mary is a kick ass Industrial band from Seattle and popped it in to hear not Industrial, but Dreampop/Etheral, so I felt a little dumb. (Also Phenobarb Bambalam wasn't quite what I was expecting either. Good, but not what I thought it would sound like)
Anywho, Shakespeare Factory recently popped in my head and I would LOVE to hear it again in its entirety.
