They Might Be Doctors?
So - I dreamed a weird-ass dream this morning…
Okay, So… They Might Be Giants are playing 2 shows in Tucson (not in reality, but in the dream). After their shows they've decided to perform surgeries and other medical procedures. So after the first show I had some dental work done. I guess it went well because the next night after the show I was planning on getting a nose-job done by John Linnell (pictured behind the wheel). After the show I'm being prepped for surgery, and one of the nurses mentions that Linnell 'lost a patient' recently doing this procedure. Of course that made me a little worried. I decided to take a walk around the venue/hospital with John to ask some questions. I asked him how many nose-jobs he has done. His answer was, "11 or 12". I figured the odds were against me… so I politely declined. I think his feelings were hurt though - I think he was really looking forward to doing it.
In related news… TMBG are performing at Club Crawl this year (October 8th) and I couldn't be more excited. The last TMBG show I saw was a few years ago at (the now defunct) City Limits. That was a great night for music. I hope this show is just as great… if they're offering free rhinoplasties after the show, I think I'll pass.

Pocketful of Quarters
Bitches, man! So I went to my local neighborhood coin-op car wash. I pay 2 bucks to wash the car, an another $1.50 to vacuum it out. During my first (of two) 75 cent vacuumings I decide to remove the attachment off the end of the hose. I had a lot of pine needles from Christmas trees from years gone by and I needed the extra suction. So I'm suckin' 'em all up, getting my carpets cleaned. After the vacuum stops I decide that I need another vacuuming session to get the rest out. I walk over to the change machine, put my dollar in, and get some more quarters. Right AFTER I put my money in the machine the owner of the car wash comes over and asks if I removed the end from the hose. I said, 'yes' and he starts bitching to me about the vacuums are not meant to be used without the attachment and how he just replaced a $60 motor and he doesn't want to have to do that all the time. I told him it works better without the attachment on the end, and he just wouldn't shut up about it. Finally, I 'apologized' and he wandered away. Bitches, man! So, I drained the quarter machine - well, as much as I could with $7.
