Bulletin Board of Bad Behavior

wow, just finished an amazing date, and she is an m ward fan. finally it's spring in wisconsin after a long cold winter...

and this:

"Global warming can be the only answer."

is why the postal service is so cool ( i'm trying to think of the song . . . people thought they were just being rewarded for . . . , I don't know, something about following the golden rule, according to them that's how to look at global warming). and so is Mark, cool. I hope things worked out for you.

So I went on a second date with the girl and she had burned me a bunch of Postal Service songs. A sweet gesture but I had downloaded them that day. And then we go out for drinks and the place plays nothing but The Postal Service the entire time we're out. And weird that in between these posts Sara post a quote from The Postal Service. And weirder yet the girl I went on the date with is named Sara...

well, that is weird. And interesting. But my name is Sarah, and it also doesn't surprise me. Once during an evening at the local bar, there were three of us at our table, one Sara, two Sarah's (and my town is super small) So it's not really an unusual name to run into.

Hope your date(s) went well! .

I'm telling you guys, Tragic, back me up here. Postal Service will get you somewhere. Seriously. They, oops, I mean Ben Gibbard, well really, Death Cab toured with Pearl Jam, making my dream band complete, sort of.

But here's the thing, BFJ, do you like Postal Service? That is really the thing.

I'm going to be a blabber mouth tonight, I think. It rained and I couldn't go ride my bike, so. Plus I was pretty much absent all summer (minded that is).

I had one of the most bizarre experiences at one of the shows I went to. Bizarre in the sense of a generation gap. Because I was there to see both bands, but there were the Pearl Jam fans all screaming and jumping up and down to spin the black circle and hail, hail -- that was that half, and then there were the Death Cab fans, legs crossed, pad of paper on their laps and calm as hell through the whole thing sort of nodding to "and this is the new year and I don't feel any different . . ." What a mix.

This one guy that I talked to was actually taking notes for a class that he was taking (in media or marketing or journalism or something). And he had a music magazine with him. I was thinking, guy, you're living what they are writing about, but you're still toting them around with you

aye, yeah, i really do like the postal service and feel bad for jumping on the band wagon late (thanks Mc, did you get your Neutral Milk Hotel like i told you too and happy birthday of course,) but i've noticed there is a big thing with sara vs. sarah. I played a song for her called "Sarah" and she had to check the spelling and said it didn't mean anything. And it is a much more positive song than Dylan's "Sara" "Sara oh Sara..."

"i really do like the postal service"

that is a really good thing, not just a thing

which makes me think of some line from somewhere

about something being no big thi(a)ng, but a chicken wi(a)ng (or maybe I made that up)

"Ain't no thang but a chicken wang on a strang, Billy Ho."

That's from "White Men Can't Jump."
