Hmm... upon this morning's shave, I was doing a dopey "flock of seagulls" dance in front of the mirror...and I came to realize that after the 80s, the 90s and now must have been a terrible blow to the hair-care industry. Sure, folks still shampoo, dye and such, but all that gel, spray and stuff for both sexes in the hair-band & punk music prime time... demand must've plummeted.

Sakes...like in So I Married an Axe Murderer... the hair is "Like Sputnik...spherical, but quite pointy in parts."

Bush by the Numbers, as Told by a Diligent Scorekeeper Nifty statistics.

I hope an Indian summer isn't coming. I wonder if it'll happen. I guess baseball didn't strike... I find myself not wanting to bother to look up the reasons why or why not...I do have a gut-urge that they had, though.

«Manipulating thrift-store lithographs of landscapes by adding painted architecturally-driven text, White creates work which vacillates between the serious and the ridiculous. Interested in exploring the easy, escapist nature of these "ready-made" pastoral scenes, White disrupts the idyllic settings by interjecting a personal blend of screwball surrealism and humor. His text, perspectivally [sic] rendered in monumental letters, runs the gamut from vivid pop cultural descriptions ("Nascar Tit Shirt") to post-modern observations on art ("Painting Which Came to Life Only to be Mocked-Forgotten") to colloquialisms from the American South ("Honey Where’s My Learnin Books") [...] An award winning production designer for "Pee Wee’s Playhouse" and art director for Peter Gabriel’s music video "Big Time", White is also a widely published cartoonist and illustrator.»

random Scotto factoid... my first crush was on my babysitter's best friend, Pittah. (Actually Patty, but they called her by the nickname, because there was another Patty in her social group., so they called her what they called her. get it? Pittah- Patty? Nyuk.) I was perhaps 4ish? My babysitter much preferred the little brother, whom she called "Derry-berry", and eventually named her own child after him. Her name?

Oh... they're selling custom Mach 5's for $72,500.... or you can get Racer X's vehicle.

I have to protect a friend from a weirdo, before it's too late.
