So i bought this [thing] from eBay a few months ago. Something to go with my (now possibly aborted) Halloween costume. The item came in a reasonable enough package..

..enough so that i didn’t really think anything of it until i glanced at it again the other day.
Dig the return address..

And no mention of Oprah/ABC/etc in the ad either.
Hmm..

Often, it seems like the weekend doesn’t officially begin until breakfast on saturday. It’s especially helpful when said breakfast includes a spinach frittata, fresh lemon water, and a second helping of french press.

Life is good.

Last night at Casanova..
Corinne: So doesn’t Lawrence blow up at some point in this?
Brandon: No, that’s The Day After. This is a zombie movie.
Corinne: Oh. So what comes after the Day After the Carnival of Souls?
[pause]
Brandon: I don’t know.. Nuclear zombies?
[pause]
Corinne: Gross.

This morning’s engine-driven hits were the result of searches either for “jesus cristo” or “fuck ku.”

I don’t know which is better.

“Reggae music pioneer Alton Ellis, who enjoyed a career revival in recent years after a string of hits in the 1960s, died Friday. He was 70.” – London AP

Bummer.
Definitely a good time to go ahead and buy this, though. That is, if you don’t have it already. Probably my favorite album of all time; certainly the one i’ve listened to the most over the years. Really, really amazing stuff.
(Ellis’ Trojan Records obit here.)
UPDATE: DOUBLE BUMMER ON AISLE 6!

Some jerk found it appropriate to charge an excessive 40 bones for this when Heartbeat, a label that can barely afford to keep their catalog in print as it is, has the same material available, now under this title (my bad there).
Same jams. More jams, actually. Get it. You will thank me. More importantly: Your girlfriend will thank me/you.
