agh. i’ve been feeling kind of blase lately. no particular or yet known reason. start of school doldrums i guess. the desire for change, the desire for novelty. how is it possible in this “information soaked” world that i could possibly want more? and why is the gd interweb not working?!

do you hate teenage angst rock? then don’t download “cubicles” by my chemical romance. what if anyone who cared enough about music could be a dj and turn others on to the music they were jonesin on at any particular moment? radical concept, eh? stuff that in your pipe and smoke it RIAA. i hate you and your evil best friend. i refuse to buy another CD until you end your policy of disemboweling music fans.

and now for something completely different: two things i love that you might love too:

• deluxe chicken nachos at cosmic cantina. i would probably like them a lot more if they actually melted the ubiquitous white texmex cheese piled on top, but somehow it manages to work cold with fresh salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and steaming hot black beans on tortilla chips. it’s as good at 5pm as it is at 3am.
  
• sitting at the counter of pepper’s pizza. i think pizza and pasta makes the best slice of pepperoni, and amante’s makes the best pizza pie, but watching the rough-edged peppers kitchen staff while i eat a small chicken caesar puts me unfathomably at peace with the world.

• French pizza on a stone
• Not your 5th grade pizza party
• La pizza Française
• simple guacamole
• roasted garlic hummus
