That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes...

I saw the Artic Monkeys last night at the Warfield. What a show! I was impressed with the lads (all around 18 I believe) work ethic and approach to the music. I was expecting (mistakenly) an Oasis Show (of which I've been to two) with the brattiness and swagger of the Liam brothers. Nope, these kids laid it all out-no break, no encore just an hour plus of biting, punk rock. I bought the CD awhile back but I don't listen to it much honestly but I would definitely go to their show again. Fittingly, the boys ended the night with Fake Tales Of San Francisco. Thanks Waller for dragging me to the show.

At the concert, there was a 12 or 13 year old boy standing across the aisle from me. The little skater must have known all the lyrics. He minded me of yours truely at the REM Document Tour at Pershing Auditorium a few years back.

The odometer reads 7867 and I can honestly say I love my car. GM needs to take some lessons from Toyota. I don't believe a $1.99 a gallon cap is going to do it. That's just a fart in a windstorm.

The reverse commute is fantastic over the Golden Gate Bridge. One of my best commutes yet! What kills me, however, is the 30 degree drop in temperature from San Rafael to the City. Almost Africa hot to Baltic in 30 minutes or less!
