Meet me in the desert.

Welcome to MitchBlog. It's just like those other blog things you read, except much much better. Sometimes it'll be considered and weighty, other times it'll be knee-slappingly hilarious and, every third Tuesday from March 14 - May 8, it's the unofficial "Save The Ecuadorian Seaslug" forum. But first and foremost, it's all about the Mitch.

Welcome aboard. Buckle up. It's gonna quite a ride.

Dubplatestyle: i'm hungry but i dont think there's anything around
MitchAnon: what about the sushi that fell behind the fridge 3 days ago?
Dubplatestyle: it's helping out with the rent now
MitchAnon: HAHA
Dubplatestyle: i'll probably end up getting some junk after i go the physician later.
MitchAnon: shouldn't you eat the junk and THEN go to the physician?
Dubplatestyle: hmmmm...perhaps. do they still leech people? (i havent been to the doctor in a long time, obv.)
MitchAnon: only if specifically requested.
MitchAnon: trust me, you'll want it.
Dubplatestyle: i think i wanna become an android.
MitchAnon: one that feels?
Dubplatestyle: no.
Dubplatestyle: just so i can eat nachoes every day and not get fat.
MitchAnon: why not just binge and purge? cheaper than a robo- ostomy
Dubplatestyle: i dislike vomit. trust me, i've weighed my options carefully. its the only way.
MitchAnon: alright. get robo-boobs while yr at it. you'll thank me later.
Dubplatestyle: hmmmm...only if i get a robo-gina.
MitchAnon: one of my dogs' name is gina. (pronounced "jeena" of course.) so robo-gina brings me a different mental picture.
Dubplatestyle: as opposed to chrome labia i suppose.
MitchAnon: my parrot's name is labia.
Dubplatestyle: i dont want to know what it says. or maybe i do.
MitchAnon: for details, look under "personals" in the paper.
Dubplatestyle: south african pervert parrot seeks south eastern pennsylvania slob for internation, interspecies romance. no smokers.
MitchAnon: or fatties.
MitchAnon: oh wait, "slob".
MitchAnon: no wierdos.
Dubplatestyle: well, i'll just have to find a different parrot on both counts then.
MitchAnon: there's plenty of parrots in the sea.
Dubplatestyle: wouldnt they all be dead tho?
MitchAnon: picky picky picky
Dubplatestyle: sorry, my momma taught me better than that
MitchAnon: certain lessons cannot be taught. they must be lived.
MitchAnon: COMING SOON:
Dubplatestyle: this summer, learn to live and love. all over again.
Dubplatestyle: (that new radicals song mst be playing in the background.)
MitchAnon: starring pauly shore as that little mirror thing that the parrot looks into
Dubplatestyle: i think we've got a winner on our hands.
MitchAnon: joan cusack won't commit.
MitchAnon: we can get the less-popular 3rd cusack sibling, shecky
Dubplatestyle: director: ron howard?
MitchAnon: no no, what about that freckly red-haired kid from 'happy days'?
MitchAnon: tom hanks?
Dubplatestyle: henry winkler?
MitchAnon: yeah yeah. him.
Dubplatestyle: eeeeeeeyyyyyy.
MitchAnon: yeah, we'll call him the "fronz" so as to avoid copyright issues
MitchAnon: and instead of eeeeeeeeeyyyy, he'll say 'ooooooooooooh'
Dubplatestyle: hmmmm...how would we feel about replacing him with tony danza and replacing the parrot with a robot. and setting it in a japanese noodle house?
MitchAnon: you are totally on my wavelength.
Dubplatestyle: all right, i'm gonna greenlight ths and assign a 500 million dollar budget.
MitchAnon: danza can play the washed-up former dot.com billionaire, now professional nudist hacky-sack player.
MitchAnon: get your people to talk to my people, we'll set something up next week at the oxygen bar. bring the sushi.
MitchAnon: man, that sushi is a *card*!

Shame on you, Mitch Lastnamewithheld.

What are you going to have for lunch?

The first comes from a young lady who enthusiastically exclaims "HOT XXX WATCH ME SWALLOW YOUR CUM FOR ONLY $4 A MONTH!!". The rest of the mail was of a decidely ribald nature, and I am uncertain about reproducing it here. Nonetheless, am I the only one who hears the faint chimes of wedding bells just over the horizon?
The second is from a Scandanavian gentlemen who explained to me in broken english that because of our "wonderfuly freindness", he is sharing with me a secret scheme involving an ailing Great Uncle and an inheritance of astronomical proportions, and all I have to do is deposit $350 in his bank account by next Tuesday. Who says writing doesn't pay, huh?
Keep 'em coming, guys!

Voting begins now and ends in 2 minutes.

Swimming! I went swimming! Well, almost, I just sorta waded around the pool, I don't think I even did a lap.

So how come when I first heard "Harder Better Faster Stronger" on TV, I thought "so *this* is the fantastic stuff off the much-loved Discovery!" but when I downloaded the mp3, I listened once and never wanted to hear it again? The mind works in mysterious ways. Now downloading: "One More Time".

Just thought about last night's Futurama again. It was *poignant*.

Anthony: You have exposed the inherent problems in not being able to moderate my own blog. And I'm calm now. Take your Great Dane elsewhere. (it wasn't Hamlet, was it?)

James thinks I NEED MORE HANLE Y-ESQUE CAPS. Rainy concurs. I, however, disagree: lowercase is softer on the eyes.

Interactive TV: Where is it? I'm certain we were meant to have it by now. Or is the 3rd world just lagging behind and you people overseas can choose with your remotes how much eyeshadow the CNN lady should be sporting?

"Hot Shots II" is easy-listening music for a warm summer's night, stretched out on a pew perched on the rings of Saturn, watching celestial events all while sipping pan galactic gargle blasters.

and re: the lyrics to "Following Through", the lyrical perspective seems quite hard to pin down- at first it's maybe wistful, thinking about a relationship that never really came to fruition and wondering what might've been. Then the chorus suggests a triumphant defiance but in the final line it changes to a kind of resigned, graceful defeat ("I'm just following through"). I like this apparent confusion.

Could Josh or anyone else fill this in for me: "When I was ten, I had this book of modern fighterplanes, with F15s and ---(part I can't hear properly)---Ocean City girls on the boardwalk singing 'oh oh oh oh"

i haven't been home. i haven't finished. it's the morning of the exhibition day. i don't know if i can finish. i'm exhausted. i want to throw up. this isn't worth it.

i nearly destroyed myself finishing this in time. but my quicktime movies have been saved in a format such that they are unreadable on my brother's laptop, which i am using to show them. so i have nothing. three weeks of late nights and early mornings and stress and nausea and hard work don't mean shit now.

(maybe you can borrow someone's laptop it will work on)

okay, back to work.

still here, still working, very tired. nothing of interest to report.

what's up? let's see... trying to cut down ilx usage, failing, hiding behind pseudonym "m." (you'd be disguised too if you'd done drunken london ilx fap karaoke like i've done drunken london ilx fap karaoke), getting lazier, experiencing constant faint sense of imminent unpleasantness, joined a gym (haven't started yet however), convinced of own ugliness again, tired of wanting new things, restless yet lethargic, bored of being single, unsatisfied with own creative work. not entirely unhappy, though.

and you?

i didn't read all the posts on here. i have lived in tucson for about a year and a half, i was in phoenix for 3 years. tucson is a much better place than phoenix...it's not a sprawling strip mall with 115° summers, you can walk around and actually get somewhere (sort of depending on where you are in tucson), the restaurants are better, as is the coffee and, lastly, PDQ RECORDS IS A WAREHOUSE FULL OF WAX!!!

i've been thinking about the desert

the great american one

An old-timey term it sez, and yet I keep hearing it.

those wacky mormons and their irrigation
