I'm just putting this here because we are not going to keep having all of these shirts forever. They are getting discontinued on April 12th, or at least 3-4 of them are, so if you see one you like, you'd better grab it now. In order to keep things moving and make it interesting for everyone we always discontinue merchandise and rotate it around. I try to make this clear wherever I can, but invariably there are still people today emailing me to ask "How can I buy xxxx shirt that you offered for two months sometime in 2004." The answer is "if you saw it back then, you shoulda bought it."

We have all of our shirts and books and all that just right here in the house, actually, right here in the living room where I'm sitting. So there is a limited amount of room, and time, and money, and so we gotta kill off older shirts to bring out new ones. I guess this logic doesn't really bear explaining, but like I said, I get emails pretty often demanding stuff that we absolutely do not have left.

I have like ninety b-sides (drawings that I didn't like enough to put on the front page of my site.) A lot of these don't even get cut up into drawings, but there are some I do make into post-able image files, but which don't make the grade when I go to pick out what goes on the site. I draw about 5-6 drawings on a half-sheet of bristol board, so they are pretty small. I will post some b-sides now.

By the time I was old enough to consider going to Nevada to see "Burning Man" the idea of seeing naked computer nerds wandering around in the desert really wasn't that thrilling to me. I'm not dissing on anyone who likes to go to this, I'm just saying it's funny to call them up and mess with them a little bit, like "I'm going to have a funnel cake booth, so I'll need to rent a space with electrical hookups."

"I'm going to be guessing the Burning Man's height and weight."

"I'm going to sell deep-fried vegan funnel cakes to white people with dreadlocks."

"I'm going to set up a booth at the Melvins show and sell medical curiosities."

The songs that the Melvins play are slow but they are not boring. They are just really tough. I am not going to recommend that you listen to the Melvins, because if you would like them you probably already own all their albums. Or you at least have all their albums on your ipod. I get the feeling that the Melvins harbor a slight distaste for those little white earbuds.

I haven't used those, but really, doesn't ear wax on that white ipod plastic just look gross? I think it would. I would yank those dudes out and they would have ear wax on them and one little hair sticking straight up out of the wax. Thanks for destroying my cilia, ipod!

NO PROBLEM!!! THANKS FOR SUPPORTING OUR COMMODIFICATION OF SCANDINAVIAN DESIGN IDEALS!!!! NOW, BECAUSE YOU PRESSED THE WRONG BUTTON, I AM GOING TO PLAY YOUR ENTIRE COLLECTION OF MP3 FILES IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER!!!

Seriously, who turns on their ipod and just goes, "Well, all right, I'll listen to everything."

Well, I mean, I do pick up my phone if it's someone I know calling. The dentist called me today and I thought that was nice, because I have to go in on Monday. I actually tried to pick up the phone but it died after the first ring, because cell phone batteries are ridiculous. I am kind of posting this because I send private/unknown/wrong/long-distance numbers to voice mail 4-5 times a day, and I am kind of posting it because, dentist, or dentist's secretary, I really did mean to pick up the phone, so if you are reading this I will see you on Monday afternoon and we will have a lot of fun cleaning my teeth.

A friend of mine, by the way, is a dental hygienist, and he estimates that "most people do not brush their teeth regularly." More than fifty percent! That's crazy. Please brush your teeth. Your friends and coworkers will like you a lot more if you do.

Speaking of coworkers, do you have to CLICK your MOUSE so LOUDLY every DAY while you SURF THE INTERNET FOR SIX HOURS?!?!?! I'm just wondering.

Okay I got to go now and rearrange my top 8. Talk to you guys later.
