So today, we were watching a video at Poho, sitting on the islands of couch segment that we had arranged around the TV. The video was "Curdled", a Quentin Tarantino flick about this girl who is fascinated with beheadings. Kris and Lea sat together with their feet on a small, seperate part of the couch. Eventually that got too hot, and Kris moved to sit on the footrest. "Ha ha! I am king of this island!" he declared. "Ruler of the ottoman empire," I noted. For some reason, everyone gave me dirty looks.

Saturday, I bought a Roland MC-303 before band practice. It is essentially techno in a box. It generates techno-ravey sounds and those big booty bass noises. It is styled as a "vintage" roland drum machine, but contains the newest technology. It is deceptively fun. It will complement our DR-660 drum machine in future performances. I foresee our music becoming a lot more electronic sounding.

We eventually ended up at Julie's house, watching vacuous TV shows and playing video games. Le'a was being nice and friendly. This was a conscious effort on her part. Various people went into the kitchen to do something called "knife hits". It involves two metal knives, a stove, a bottle with ice in it, and little tiny clumps of marijuana. The stove is turned up to glowing orange heat, and the pot is held between the flat sides of the two knives, at the tips. Then, the tips of the knives are put on the hot stove, and the conducted heat incinerates the pot. Then they do something like inhale the smoke through the bottle with ice in it somehow. Not too sure about that part, I went outside (since I don't smoke). It's apparently a very efficient way to get THC into your blood.

Someone made the mistake of asking me what I was thinking. I told them. I was thinking about cat's thoughts. I wondered if cats knew that they were going to die. Do they realize it when they are gravely injured? Do they fear it? They obviously try to avoid injury, but do they know why they are doing it? Little kids avoid injury, even before they are introduced to the concept of death. I think I finally decided that cats CAN know that they are going to die someday, but not all of them have realized it. Which creatures know that they will die? What do spiders think about when they are waiting for food to become trapped in their web?

See, if you're in a new relationship, and your girlfriend asks you "What are you thinking?", you're supposed to say something romantic. If you told the truth, you'd get: A) Slapped. B) Dumped. C) Weird looks. (Which is what I get) D) in the event that you really WERE thinking about "how much I love you," you get huggy snuggles or whatever. Yup. Doctor Love signing off.

Jesus sticks to your teeth. - Something I thought Brian said to me at lunch.
