Dear the Internet: I’m not very interested in end-times spam. I’m even less interested in end-times spam that references the “Left Behind” series of fundamentalist potboilers. And when it comes from “exceptionalcouponsforyou.com” you’re really trying my patience.

The death of Yasser Arafat has important bearing on the peace process in the Middle East and the restoration of Israel. Some believe that his removal from the process will make peace more achievable and potentially allow the prophecy of Israel to be fulfilled. Others fear that his demise will throw the region into chaos if… Read all 5 Signs now – just enter your email address.

If it’s a prophecy and has to come true, how could it not? Why would something make it.. oh never mind. Morons are so cool.

In other news, my language parser is about 75% broken. At the hardware store checkout counter today there was a display inviting me to purchase Blistex. I saw it out of the corner of my eye and it appeared to say FIND OUT THAT YOUR LIPS HAVE BEEN MISSING! which sounded very Hellraiser, but it was a WHAT and not a THAT. So, everyone, your lips have not been missing.

Being obsessive about something is unfortunately not the same as being consistently good at it. I was reminded of this today when I found myself rehearsing failed cooking experiments of the past few years in the same way one does failed luv relationships or jobs or schools. The flavorless pasta dish I made for bikupan stands out, as does a really nasty attempt at pizza dough about six months ago. Tonight was good though. Pappardelle with spicy tomato sauce and chicken sausage, and sweet pepper salad.

Just now, watching my mother carefully re-do all of the cleaning I had done earlier in the kitchen, I get a hint of why I always feel that I’m never enough for anyone.

Well, that and 25 years of being a complete failure with women.

Yes, Nazi dolls.

Now available are quality prints of my newest painting entitled “To Protect and to Rock” which depicts Steve Perry, former lead singer of Journey and defender of freedom and justice, as Robocop.

Sideways icicles make me scared.

Reading the excellent Wikipedia article on pizza while eating some made me wonder about more pizza variants. They mention the basics also, but I saw references in my poll responses to Old Forge Style, New Haven Style, the california gourmet pizzas, and Boston pizza.

Wikipedia also refers to a Scottish practice of serving fish & chips with a deep fried frozen pizza, but let’s just let that slide on by, okay?

The pizza industry has what looks like a pretty good site of their own.

Any other major pizza variants people know of?

THE EYE OF SAURON

That obnoxicant not only makes more sense than most people I read every day, but has musical taste just about identical to mine, despite being 25 years younger. I hereby give her five gold stars. You rule, brainiac’s daughter!

Not too many people showed at D’s tonight, probably due to temperatures in the fifties with a brisk breeze. Too bad; the Gypsies were back (Pasíon Gitana) and they were really good as usual. The band has dwindled over the years from 7 or so people with a lead singer and lots of drum equipment to two guys and a woman who drums on a bongo and a box. Surprisingly they’re still captivating, especially the lead guitarist. As Jared pointed out, he’ll occasionally do something amazing on the guitar as a kind of afterthought while trotting through a flamenco number.

At one point Deanna turned toward me with her adorable innocent face wrapped in her jacket hood and asked me if dogs had a lifetime warranty. I had a good 30 seconds of what the hey before I realized she was saying “Docs” and referring to Dr. Martens boots. Mishearing things is fun.

They’re having a tsunami benefit at Detroit Bar and it’s comedy. And holy crap, they got David Cross and Patton Oswalt. Who woulda thunk it? February 20. Details here or elsewhere at detroitbar.com if that blows up. So that’s two Detroit events I’ll be attending in a month! How odd for me. But Jonathan Richman and David Cross aren’t regular visitors to west Costa Mesa.

I’m on an 80s California punk kick tonight.
