two things

Published on April 11, 2005

1. Pearl Jam. I don’t understand their popularity. I suppose it’s really all a matter of personal taste, but for my money their music is hackneyed, derivative, and just kinda boring. I dunno. I will concede, however, that they have one of the best band names ever, right up there with Aphex Twin, Violent Femmes and Cheap Trick.

2. I balanced my checkbook for two consecutive weeks for the first time in a long time. That’s a good feeling. Knowing exactly how much I have, and watching the numbers all come out correctly. Nice.

    Eww, Pearl Jam. I remember my sister used to hate them solely because people called her Pearl Jam when they learned of her middle name. And I agree, the Violent Femmes is a great name, as is Belle & Sebastian. And Backstreet Boys…

    I’ve never written a check in my entire life. Well I take that back — I’ve written some, just not in my name.

    Belle & Sebastian is a pretty cool name in the right circles. Over the Rhine is another cool name.

    Once you get an apartment you will be writing checks galore :)
