3 Things

Birthday karaoke for George: Basic wonderful stuff like tiki bars and daiquiris and singing The Cure's "Just Like Heaven" in front of all the buds (while they laughed) (at me).

Marc Maron's WTF podcast interview with Paul Thomas Anderson: You know, the director of Boogie Nights, Magnolia, The Master, Inherent Vice, etc. His movies are, like, pretty challenging. What the fuck are any of them really about?! Listen to this, and find out. The guy's touched—he knows things we don't know.

Lefty's medical woes: First, his claw tore off. Blood everywhere. Whimpering. Eyes like deep pools of sadness. I mean it's the equivalent of someone extracting your fingernail with a pair of pliers! Anyway, after a week of limping, he eventually convalesced. Once better, though, the guy immediately pulled a hammy playing wild-style with his brother. Benched for another two days. Life just sux sometimes, huh?
