oo! almost forgot...if anyone at all out there could possibly tape Survivor 2's first episode for me, i would be SO grateful. we could negotiate "payment" when i got back (insert bow-chicka-wow-wow music here).

bad omen #1: the intricate and detailed map to bodega bay lays on my desk. at WORK. fuck! may i say this place has no actual address. it's just a lab somewhere out in the boonies covered by trees and seashells. what to do, what to do?

kick ass comeback #1: thank GOD. i found a map on the internet. woo hoo! once again, scott challenges death and knocks his old ass out. click!

virgin megastore is a JOKE. are you telling me you don't know how to ring up $30 worth of books accurately and in less than TWENTY MINUTES?? that's how long we waited for this guy to figure out his little boop-bee-doop register before we gave up and walked out, books still on the counter. so CLUELESS. i blame cashier boy, but not as much as manager boy who just stood there with his little clipboard making like he was too important to ring us up. hello! we're trying to give you money! scott's laid back usually (hey, i know their job sucks) but not this time. this virgin crew was the L.A. Clippers of retail. i was really disappointed, because up until that very moment, i was having the best day with nancy. i was SO beaming.

alas, nancy and i put it behind us. she's the best. really, she is. tonight we start preparing for our weekend in bodga bay where i'll be hosting an API pop culture discussion with UC Davis students. i'm quivering, feeling unprepared. this recurring nightmare tells me they're expecting some completely academic, theory-based propaganda about hegemonies and diasporas and blah blah blah. but i know better. they're on this retreat to hook up. like hook UP hook up. knowwhutimean? put 200 horny kids in a beachfront room and there be some knockin' straight up...i ain't tawkin' doors, here. scott will give you a full update as they become available. pictures if possible.

thanks also to jean whose site flika will be part of the program. see it and know why it's worth discussing. wanna know who else is on tap? check out the linkage on this very page...

lastly, this is my first entry using blogger. if it works, it's because of michelle and ernie. if it fails, i blame my own stupidity, thus plunging my IQ to -3.

scott signing off. i'll fix the cosmetics later.
