In Which I Might Be Allergic To Falafel or Cheap Liquor

First of all, can I just say for the record how tight the record A Healthy Distrust by Sage Francis is? I forgot how much love I can have for a hip-hop record.

Up next on deck: Bad Religion's The Process Of Belief.

An update of Fellowship Watch 2010:

I've been presented with even more hope and an alternate timeline. Good news: it means a little more time for them to see how awesome I am. Bad news: I might not know until the 21st. I'll take it though. It's better than incessantly refreshing my inbox and waiting by my phone like a teenager.

Maybe its the stress, but I've got some really cute hives on my face. Here's to hoping that I just drank too much cranberry juice or ate too much falafel (which I have never tried before). They don't hurt or itch, they just look like Heller Keller could read that portion of my face if she got bored.

I should read and write more instead of staring into the electronic abyss.

Summer reading list:

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
- Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith
Slaughterhouse-Five - Kurt Vonnegut (re-read)
Love is A Mix Tape - Rob Sheffield
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao - Junot Diaz (also a re-read, but after getting a little perspective about the geography of the Dominican Republic, I think I need to)

To be read, but not in my possession: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, mostly because I have until August to read it. August is when the movie comes out.

As I was stalking the film adaptation of Scott Pilgrim, I read that the actor who played Human Torch in the Fantastic Four franchise is going to not only be in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, but he is going to be Captain Flipping America in the Avengers Franchise, complete with his own movie. I have no idea how to feel. The Avengers has been pushed back (again) to 2012 (this is slowly becoming my Sin City 2 which is the new Chinese Democracy). But I understand Marvel studios has to have time to release all the other ones before they can release The Avengers, blah blah blah blah. I'm just not sure that the Captain America movie will do very well. Maybe its because I am so bored by the character, but it'll be interesting to see a little Hollywood sex appeal on him. It's exhausting being intrigued and bored all at once.

Yesterday was so weird. There were deus ex machina moments coming out of every orifice and I did my best to cope.

But I did bear witness to my conservative friend Keith take a shot out of a strange man's crotch. Oh, twenty-fifth birthdays....

yeah sure, I might do harm, and bear my right to arm.

This year is going to be the coolest.
