Pulpo

I'd like to be
under the sea
in an octopus' garden
in the shade
-The Beatles

• I jam tonite with Summer in Raincoats at 6. I'm looking forward to hitting things for a while.
• On the topic of hitting things, i'd like to hit our bassist, Bo, who is exceedingly outspoken about the direction of the band for someone who only started playing bass last october, has never played live before, and essentially knows nothing about music. These are times when i miss the East River. The Manzanares here is way to shallow to dump a body.
• Bo is always telling us how to play, what we should or should not play, and yet starts to playing without tuning. Any moron knows you need to tune up. So the rest of us just ignore him.
  
• Because we are all friends (were, in my case with Bo) it may be hard to boot him. It's a shame because we could find a much better bassist. But i'm not too worried about it. I have the other band. We'll play the gig and if the little bassist with the big mouth is still annoying, i'll just quit. Such drama! Somone call BEHIND THE MUSIC!
• But seriously, i do this for fun and exercise, not to be annoyed. If i sent you some of his emails, you'd think they were written by a girl scout with self esteem issues and ADD. The topics skip around more than an episode of LOST.
  
• Last night we had octopus - pulpo. Juan cooked it in a pressure cooker. The pulpo was surprisingly anatomically correct. You drop it in the the pot with potatoes. when the potatoes are ready, so is the pulpo. Fascinatingly simple but effective.
• It wasn't my favorite thing i've ever eaten, but it was much better than any octopus sushi i've had - which is always chewy and tastes like Octopus flavored bubble gum
• I need to do my facturas for february. Money - yeah! But now it's March and i have to pay bills - boo!
• Happy birthday to CHT - Colin Hamilton Tietjen - who is an astonishing 9 years old. Holy crap!!!!
