A hot sunny day off. My mother sitting in the yard. Wearing a hat. She has taken on this habit. She looks like something from a movie about british wives in africa. Sitting in the sun while their husbands run the farm or chase lions. I don't know. Hats. It just doesn't seem right.

Our apple tree is growing. It's not very old. Probably won't be any significant apples on it for a while yet. But the flowers are blooming and it's looking rather prettiful. One day when I'm long gone that tree is going to be stretching for the skies and huge fat apples will be eaten by kids who have no clue that I ever lived here.

And they will probably all be wearing hats. You can't fight the future.

My brother is home for the weekend. Bad news. A foul stench of cigarettes and much too much talking and noise and computer sharing.

He did bring one good thing though. A Donald Duck magazine. With a new Don Rosa story. Weet. I've been reading my old Don Rosa stories and they're still great. I'm not ashamed of reading Donald Duck. Nope. You should all be reading Don Rosa stories. And it's a treat getting a new one. I might just have to buy next week's Donald Duck magazine to get the conclusion. I haven't bought a Donald Duck magazine for 10 years. Or more.

Old. So old.

Should I be worried that when I read this I can actually hear the voices in my head?
Help! I'm being repressed!
I'm not overly concerned.

Nobody out there would happen to know the date of The Presidents of the United States of America's Live In Stockholm bootleg would ya? Woodja? It's a longshot but if anyone does know then tell me please. I will make it worth your while. Possibly.

I've been catching up on my '98 pumpkins. Those were good times. When Adore came out. I'm listening to the show they played in Tivoli in Denmark. I remember that. Seeing clips on tv. They said that the neighbours had to get them to stop playing because it was taking too long. No wonder, they played Transmission hehe. Ah. I remember getting to know the new songs. Today Adore is my favourite album from any artist from any time. It was great discovering that. I remember Swedish TV showing their concert from Spain. I remember hearing Let Me Give The World To You for the first time and thinking that it was beautiful and that I'd probably never hear it again because I didn't tape the show. That was before I had the internet. Before I had any idea how many songs I'd get to hear.
god bless mp3s
I remember some MTV host on some red carpet announcing Darcy was quitting. It was like "Hey the one thing that matters most to you is in danger and who knows what will happen and now Chris is talking to Britney so let's go there". The show must go on.

God damn you Danish radio for cutting lmgtwty on the broadcast. Buggers.

Every once in a while on some pumpkins board someone will make a post saying "what would've happened if Jimmy had played on Adore" or "Do you think Adore killed the pumpkins' carreer" and I'm just amazed that there are people who can't see the beauty in Adore. You should all go buy it. Just give it a chance. I wouldn't trade. I wouldn't give Adore away for another Siamese Dream or Mellon Collie. I wouldn't give Adore away if it meant the Pumpkins were still big on mtv. If Adore killed the pumpkins then it was the most beautiful death anyone could ever want.

I remember Twilight fades. I will never forget that feeling.

But it's late. So goodnight to you all. And to all a good night.
