Your Body Makes a Promise, Whether You Do or Not

Just an update about how things are going up here at unsere casa de Long Island! Today I came back from a long hard day of qwerk (quirky work, as Rat always says) and boy, did I ever bring a case of Miller a long for the ride!! And right on cue, off came the tops and in went Vanilla Sky(the bottletops, not our shirttops, gutterbrain). We had a really tense but interesting two and a half hours. Cameron Crowe sure knows a lot about cool music and some parts of the movie really seemed to come together. One of the guys in Harry Potter is in the movie for part of it, which got Rat even more excited than we previously had thought was possible...TMI. Anyway, from the business angle of things, we're trying to soundproof our basement and we think we might have some cute neighbors (though Rat is skeptical). Our favorite new bar is T-Bone's Boneyard. One fellow there had even heard of I.C. Light. Also, Wess said he saw a Steelers jersey in town the other day and then I saw one in the "subway" (which can be scary but is mostly just a fun place to meet new people). So it seems like there are a few good folks around here who know a little something about Pittsburgh. Most importantly, Rat watched Halloween by Rob Zombie without me and everyone else in the house supported his decision. That's okay, everyone makes sacrifices when you're playing in a rock band! Cameron Crowe made a movie about that too (Elizabethtown?)


Oh, did I mention: New York's a great little town!
