I decided I'm going to call my new nephew Little Peep. I don't know why.

I am dying to know about Mike and Teri's night on the town!

Poor H.

Where is everybody?

I just called my friend Jesse, who I haven't talked to in weeks. I am doing recon on all my friends, because I have this paranoid suspicion that they are all mad at me because I haven't been talking to any of them much lately.

Mike's off, I think?

And T's being all important up on the Hill.

I've stopped sending things to txhealth.org because it sucks ass. Maybe your other jags don't know your email is whacky?

I wonder what's up with it today, as a matter of fact. I haven't heard from the MOC at all.

Great entry yesterday, btw.

Eww. Cheese slow to rise?

Glad you liked it. I am trying, in my entries, to make them make sense. I don't think they do, usually. You know, that's a sad goal to have.

-- Anonymous, May 03, 2001

Why don't you think they make sense?

I think they always have, but that could be because I have a better idea of what you're hinting at when you're all cryptic.

-- Anonymous, May 03, 2001

I just read them sometimes and think that someone who doesn't know me isn't going to understand what I'm talking about. This is definitely good practice, though. I think I'm getting better at it.

The cryptic ones are awful. I think I'm going to take them down, eventually. It felt good for me to get all mad and write that stuff and get it out, but I don't really want that to be representative of my writing. I really am trying hard to make it less of a diary.

I am listening to the clips at www.lucindawilliams.com and I don't think I'm goingto like these songs as much on the record as I do live.

She is so amazing live - I just can't get over it. The 30 seconds I can hear of "I envy the wind" sound very, very produced.

Well, there will never, ever be a way to duplicate the way I felt the first time I heard Essence. Or the second time, for that matter.

I can't believe there aren't any recent bootlegs on Napster. Eric hasn't been able to find any.

-- Anonymous, May 03, 2001

Eric clearly doesn't have BearShare, where I've found all the Lucinda songs I ever wanted.

-- Anonymous, May 03, 2001

No,no, he just hasn't been able to find any of the new ones. The ones off Essence.

Me and Chris are in a standoff to see who will e-mail the other one first.

Heee! Or, well, I'm in a standoff. He's probably just working, or something, but I haven't heard from him today, nor did I last night, and that's unusual.

You can put your 20 second bootleg voicemail message up on Napster, and share it with the world.

-- Anonymous, May 03, 2001

I know. The only problem with it, though, is finding ones you can actually download. I haven't been able to.

How dumb were we not to take the Minidisc recorder in there with us? It would have been the best bootleg evah.

I ran in there the other day when we were at that store and dddddddddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, it's good.

Oh, I HATE us, AB. I wish we had recorded it. Ooooooo! Hate! It was so good...

Al - was there ever anymore talk about him giving you a job? Did you ever actually have to turn him down?

-- Anonymous, May 03, 2001

It's on Carwheels, girl.

I remember, when she first released Carwheels, before I bought it, NPR played Greenville on some show and I nearly killed myself trying to find a pen to write it down while speeding down 35.

AB, I swear, I am too clumsy with my left hand. I can't switch to G from anywhere without having a breakdown. But I can tune the mofo now, thanks to you! I have a cd to tune to, so it actually sounds good. Except that, uh, I can only play three chords, and really only two.

H - how many miles do you have? I have a bunch on American, and some on Southwest. Thing about Southwest is, if you make four roundtrips, you get one free. If Chris and I could combine our miles, that would rock!

He mentions it all the time, and I've told him whenever he's ready to make a formal offer, we'll talk about it. I think, for all his worrying that I'll come up there and be in love with him, he's finally figured out that that wouldn't be the case, and he's secretly mad about it.

-- Anonymous, May 03, 2001

Girl, you just have to practice. When I started, I could switch only from A to E and back again, and sometimes to D if I was drunk. I still have trouble with F, but that's only because it sucks.

-- Anonymous, May 03, 2001

I can play 3 chords too but I can't switch without looking at my fingers. Of course, I haven't picked up my guitar in about 8 months.

I have almost 20,000 and after I got to Vegas next month, I should have enough for a ticket. (I'm hoping). And the good thing about Continental is that you can combine them with America West, where I have a few.

I didn't know that about Southwest, that's great! But I can only fly SW short distances, not to like you know, California. I'd have to make 29 connections.

It's funny ... I guess most people now are predicting Keith will get the boot first, which I just don't get. Why wouldn't you want him as your opponent in front of the jury?

I'd be psyched if Colby won immunity and then won it all, only because of how he got there -- with, what, four immunity wins in a row?

Yeah, I think Tina will get the ax. Not that she could beat Colby, though. Not that I've been watching the show... at all...

Oh yeah, if Colby wins immunity, Tina is gone. If he doesn't, then no more sweet Texan. Either way, Keith takes second.

If Tina wins immunity, Colby is certainly gone. I'd be curious to see what happens if Keith wins, though. Who does he think he can beat in front of the jury?

Too bad for you--you're going to miss the new wine Big Daddy's had. It's called Fat Bastard. Yes, it is.

Have y'all seen that new wine just called "Cheap Red Wine" and "Cheap White Wine" and stuff? I think they're also teh same company who puts pictuers of fish, chickens and cows on their bottles so you know which wine goes with what.

Al - when you priceline a flight, can you specify ideal flight times or do you just enter dates? Because I've only done it for hotels and I know you can pick what area of town you want and stuff.

Egg Snatcher: typically a man in his late 20s to mid 30s who dates a woman 3 - 6 years younger for a period of several years before finally dumping her with the "not ready for marriage" line, only leaving her with less eggs than he found her.
