it's all over now baby blue

them

man i have been listening to Them like crazy today. van morrison has one of the most amazing voices of all time. i might just put money on their version of 'it's all over now baby blue' being the greatest dylan cover of all time. i mean seriously, beck sampled their cover of this track. who samples a cover!!!1!1!

other than the small joys of listening to Them, there's not really much great stuff going. everyone is out of town. the mustang is parked because it's broken, and we're rolling to volvo psuedo-illegal style until we can get the registration taken care of later this week. an irish liscense plate should be good enough for this week right! also, since there's no stero in the wagon i've been rocking the ipod all hooked up to my old school speaker that i had in the gallery for my art show. it takes up the whole passenger seat, but at least it works. when im alone i usually just use headphones, but when amanda is in the car, i put the speaker in the backseat and belt it in. it's like our 50 year old sonic, metalic-box child. so cute!

i have orientation tomorrow for the conservation job at the hollywood athletic club. im really looking forward to making some money. that is going to come in REALLY handy! hopefully there's something more full time in my future after this contract job ends. i am applying for a couple of jobs a week. somethings gotta give.

anyway, i now this isn't an amazingly literary post, but i thought i would let you know what's going on with me. i sit at home. i read a magazine, i drink coffee all day, smoke some camels, and that's about it. i really should start packing up for our move. we're having a yard sale this coming weekend to get rid of extra stuff, even a bunch of furniture too. none of the really nice heywood wakefield stuff, just the metal stuff i picked up at california surplus warehouse three years ago or so. should sell pretty quickly. come check it out if you are in the area, you wont find deals like this on the internets!!

i will most likely regret saying this, but i have had three of four garage sales in whittier and never had a problem. i have also been to tons and tons and have need seen anyone that had a permit. i don't think they really enforce the rule, if there even is one.

yeah i figured that. oh well. maybe the nice officer will buy something for his beautiful 'friend' or something. (i figure i might as well call them gay, i've already blown my 'i will probably regret this' statement)

I will tell you this - I had a friendly mustachioed officer stop by our yard sale last week and ask to see my permit. It turns out that if you have more than one sale a year, you need a permit. Otherwise you are ok. My recommendation is to tell the hypothetical officer that this is your first and only sale of the year. And don't insult him. That usually doesn't go over very well.

Hamilton is wrong - definitely insult the officer. They love it - it's why them became "officers".
