Ok, it’s becoming an obsession. This is Joey with his man-purse from an episode of Friends….

A few frames from the Seinfield episode The Reverse Peephole. The first is Jerry searching for his date’s lipstick. The second, Jerry with his man-purse, complete with his man-fur….
I decided to do a little research into the man-purse and found some interesting tidbits.

Today I received my new <a href=""javascript:photo_open(’show.php?iid=0&gid=0&photo=images/flytrap.jpg’,'500′,’365′);"">FlyTrap from <a href=""http://www.yodudeperformance.com"" target=""_new"">YoDude Performance. Basically it’s a kit that adds a hinge to the flyscreen on the front of one’s <a href=""http://www.buell.com"" target=""_new"">Buell motorcycle, then you can stick a bag inside for additional storage. The Buell M2 Cyclone (like mine) has no storage, so this kind of thing is nice.
Not only did I buy the hinge, but I opted to buy their special <a href=""javascript:photo_open(’show.php?iid=0&gid=0&photo=images/flytrap.jpg’,'500′,’365′);"">black bag that is supposed to fit snuggly inside the flyscreen. The little bag is cool, and even comes with a nice shoulder strap. I’ve de…

One summer when I was in high school, in the marching band, the Vice President of the United States, Dan Quayle, visited our fair city of Shelbyville, Indiana. He came to make an appearance at our illustrious and world-renowned ""Bears of Blue River"" festival. I wish I could say it was a day I’d never forget, but to be honest, I hadn’t thought about it until just now.
My mom just called to remind me that the Bears of Blue River festival starts this Sunday with the annual parade, in which my sister (sans sousaphone) will be marching.
Have you ever read King’s ‘Salem’s Lot? I fear one day I’ll return to my quiet hometown to find it overrun with vampires. However, it would probably be a good thing, because then I would seriously be in need of a vampire slayer, would have goo…

No one is responding to my goddamn haircut survey. I’ve therefore pulled it offline.
How do ya like them apples?…
Yesterday I received an interesting email. I won’t post whom it was from because that just wouldn’t be polite. In depth analysis of the text is, however, required. Here is the entire text of the message:
–BEGIN PASTED TEXT–
your cute big time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
–END PASTED TEXT–
Yes, the exclamation marks are original.
Now, I’m going to hope that this person was being sarcastic or in some as-of-yet undetermined way trying to be funny. If the person who sent this was serious… well, I would apologize except for the fact that I rarely apologize.
First, let us look at the message as a whole. What one notices immediately is the clever yet clichéd, e.e. cummings-esque capitalization, or lack thereof. Mark Twain once said, ""It…

No, I didn’t get it cut. I found that you’ve got to have 1024×768 resolution to click the vote button, which may explain why NO ONE has voted. The 2 votes there now are my own when I was testing the damn thing. Either that, or no one really cares.
This week has been really busy. My friend <a href=""javascript:photo_open(’show.php?iid=46&gid=3&photo=mods/photo_gallery/pics/martha.jpg’,'379′,’575′);"">Marty was in town on business earlier this week, so we got to hang out and catch up on some things. That was cool.
After attending band camp last week, my sister has decided not to pursue the sousaphone, and stick to the flute instead. As she put it, the trombone players in her squad were, ""… a bunch of jerks."" I hate jerk-trombone players too, so I can’t blame her….
I think this weekend I’ll write a program to tally votes for a survey I want to run. I’m thinking about cutting my hair. It’s a tough decision. When it’s short, I always want it long… but it takes so long to grow. Then, while growing it, you have to pass through the ’stupid looking hair phase’ that I feel like I’m just now getting by. But for some reason now I’m thinking it’d be nice to have it short again. However, I’m afraid in a month or 2 I’ll wish I had it long again. It’s taken me almost a year to get where it is now.
What am I going to do?
Don’t you wish you had my problems?…
Hmmm… it almost makes me reconsider my HS reunion. Maybe seeing those people would bring back memories I’ve lost. On the other hand, do I want them back? Hmmm…
Anyway, good news! My friend Martha, who lives outside of Detroit, has a new project that’s going to require her to travel to Indiana some over the next several weeks. I haven’t seen her in months and I’m really looking forward to us hanging out. She’ll be here in a few days! Whoohoo!
And it’s a long story, but there’s been some weird tension between me and my bud Tammy for a long while. We haven’t really talked in ages. Tonight I caught her online and decided to see what she was up to. We were getting to be really good friends before I moved to Bloomington, so I guess I’m hoping this is a chance to restore it.
Then…
