yeah, sasha and john digweed made their rounds recently on the delta heavy tour, but their set was disappointingly short (less than 2 hrs!), only whetting our appetite for scrumpdiddlyumptious progressive music. sasha's in los angeles tonight, however, on a tour stop promoting his new lp, airdrawndagger (good stuff, btw), and you can bet your sweet three-rings that our shakin' booties are gonna be there, burnin' up the dance floor for the entirety of his FOUR HOUR SET! (now *that's* more like it...) i'm bursting with excitement, just had to share that. anyone else in here privvy to what the heck i'm spouting off about, anyway? steve

pm'd ya. steve

from the dj perspective... we've had a few parties out here where skydivers were on the decks all night. which reminds me, i think we're overdue for one! bands require a lot more work and coordination. if anyone in socal wants to give it a shot, i'm down for it... guitar, bass, keyboards, programming, etc. as long as it doesn't take any time from my already full schedule! steve

See that? Classic example, ... "yada yada yada.... Oh, my BOYFRIEND... yada yada......" yep, there it was. i suppose that she figured you took her head-on-the-shoulder comment as a yeah, she wants me, and she had to react to your sly remark about spooning with a defense-mechanism-induced you might be cute but she's talking to you as a friend, not because she's interested response. encrypted for your pleasure, of course... steve

hey hey hey HEY HEY! badminton IS a sport, and it KICKS ASS!!! ever try a match with low-altitude birdies at 6000 feet??? holy criznap, you don't know what yer missin'!!! steve

i don't know why, but starting at about 7k agl, beads of sweat bubble up on my tightened brow, my hands and teeth begin to clench, and i get real fidgety. the urge is coming on, quickly growing as we climb. by 9.5k, i'm overwhelmed. biting a hole in my lip, i have to just let go... ...and sing. (or try to, anyway) sometimes, fellow jumpers join in with arms raised, passion flaring like a firestorm -- the laverne and shirley theme seemed to be a hit. more often, though, i get these blank, expressionless stares. or worse, horribly spiteful glares accompanied by rather obscene finger gestures... look. if someone starts singing some gay-ass reo speedwagon song on one of *your* loads, PLEASE HUMOR THEM AND SING ALONG! here, i'll show you: and i meant every word i said when i said that i love you i meant that i love you forever (everyone) and i'm gonna keep on lovin' you cos it's the only thing i wanna do i don't wanna sleep i just wanna keep on lovin' you... (repeat) anyone else here have this, uh, problem, or am i alone in my dementia? seriously! i think we need more singalongs on the way to altitude; the whole take-a-nap-and-breathe-some-ass thing is getting way old... what do y'all think? steve

i scheduled a flight back from a miami business trip on 9/11. so i'll be trying to wring money from other people for my capitalistic gain. that's kinda... um... yeah... steve (notes for the particularly sensitive: yes, i also knew people who fell victim to the attacks. yes, victims and their families are ever present in my thoughts and prayers, regardless of what day it is. yes, unocal and bridas might just be cashing in... lighten up! )

don't judge a book by its cover...

emma, i was going to write you another deranged love letter after reading this, but i'm short on time and i'm running out to get SOME AIR! (and whaddya mean, "lesser sex"? michele? i want some answers! ) steve

it's freakin' tax day. don't mess with me. steve

so what compels the female to, out of freakin' nowhere, pretentiously yet clumsily squeeze in the oh-so-cliche-and-ever-so-crass 'my boyfriend' comment into casual conversation with a member of the opposite sex? "yeah, i just got a new car, but now i'm having second thoughts about the color. um, my boyfriend's a surfer. and so i'm wondering if the dealership will take it back..." "i moved here a few years ago for school, and it's great... really laid back, and the weather... ohhh, the weather here's so much nicer than texas! and my boyfriend and i LOVE going to the beach..." "thanks for emailing me back. i liked the pictures, and i'm sure my boyfriend will like them, too." i've heard this shite too many damn times, directed not only at me (scha! as if! i'm usually pretty clear about my, um, situation...) but others, as well. what gives? i can't figure it out -- there is no specific prompt or stimulus, no patterns (other than its absolute likelihood), no rhyme nor reason. hell, it's even cross cultural! i mean... today's winner is from a po-dunk town in the middle of the SWISS FREAKIN' ALPS! product-of-your-environment MY ASS -- this HAS GOT to be genetic! albi, you got the digs on that damn pair of x chromosomes yet??? maaaaaaaaannnnn... FUNK DAT! steve

methinks a photo illustrating your point might've been helpful, viking... steve

time: 5:48pm (tonight) place: home situation: getting ready to go to dinner (i.e., yakkin' in the pub til we're walking out the door), roommate's 4 year old daughter approaches, looks up at me all cutesy-like and speaks... quote: "your shoes are ugly." . .. ...

go west, honey. go west. steve

where do you live? lilliput? somewhere over the rainbow??? steve

why yes, i am! no compromise necessary! now let *me* guess... you're a splittin' image of a certain brazilian beauty, you believe the earth's flat (because someone told you so), and you're really into oral... uh... contraception? PERFECT! did i mention i like to snuggle (and have a cute ass)? steve

not yet. really looking forward to it, tho. prolly this weekend. steve ps yes, niiiiiiiiice pics...

criznap. sorry to hear that... but you never know how these twisted stories end up. more often than you'd think, i've seen them quickly lead to better places. so keep up the faith! steve ps check yer pm

enough with the suspense already! what's the dilly, yo?

whoa, flashback! life moves pretty fast; if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you *could* miss it. steve

ten's a bit heavy -- how bout three? 3. likeness to gisele bundchen 2. gullibility 1. "the pill"

shite, man... say it ain't so! s

agreed! she's always had a special place in my... uh... heart! steve
