Off for the weekend.

February 25, 2005


I love going on vacation, even if it’s only to Minneapolis.

Hopefully, though, I won’t have to hear the obligatory “I’d never go back to Sioux Falls” crap. I like this town. I grew up here. It’s part of me. I’m not a Minnesotan, and I never felt like one even in the 4 years I spent there. I’m always first and formost a South Dakota kid, no matter how ridiculous that sounds.

(And, yes, that sounds ridiculous.)

But, I guess, there’s a lot to be said about being comfortable. Like Rob’s quote in High Fidelity, Sioux Falls isn’t boring. But it isn’t spectacular either. It’s just- good. Very good.

On a more tragic note, it appears that Hunter S. Thompson was talking to his wife, Anita, on the phone when he shot himself.

That’s fucked up.

I can’t even say anything about that, except how horrible that must have been when she figured out what had happened.

The story is here.

Mahalo.

    Someone on Real Time with Bill Maher said she was in the house with him when he shot himself. I also heard that she was talking to him on the phone.

    Wish people would make up their minds.

    Also, The renaming thing didn’t work so hot for your blog.. I need to figure out why.

    Hey, have fun at the show tonight. If I had checked your blog sooner I would’ve had time to invite you to another great concert: avoiding emily at the Acadia Cafe. (Yeah, that’s my band and yes, I have no shame. http://www.purevolume.com/avoidingemily) But, alas, it was last night.

    Anyway, enjoy your weekend in Minneapolis: it might not be as exciting as Sioux Falls but at least we have more crime.

    Ta-ta.
