July 17, 1997 -- Some of you more observant folks may notice that I didn't change the background to some NEW obscenely loud and busy colored thing. I have a good reason.

I'm re-doing my entire page.

Stop laughing! It's true this time. If you don't believe me...ask Brian. I already showed him the basic design of the brand new index page and brand new Thoughts page. I'm re-doing some of the cheesier graphics though -- Brian gave me Adobe Photoshop and I fully intend to use it to the best of my slowly improving abilities. It should be up within a week provided I get to sit down and work on it, and I don't have any scary PhotoShop problems I can't handle. So if you want to steal any of my stuff, do it soon...it's all coming down. All of it. The only stuff going back up unchanged are journal entries, people pages, and that Happy page. Everything else is either being trashed, being redone, or just being ignored. And steal backgrounds while you can...the old journal stuff is getting streamlined and everything before July will have the SAME BACKGROUND!!!

Scary, ain't it?

But onto the real talk...

I just got home from going to see Gallager. The man abuses produce for a living. And people keep going back. He's the only person in the world who could wack a piece of TupperWare with a sledgehammer, then scream "Fucking TupperWare!" when nothing happens...and have the place go WILD. He's the only comedian in the world who can bounce Spam and it suits his act. He had a water gun designed to shoot beer from cans. He mixed Fluff and cranberry sauce and people loved it.

Who knew?
