I'm a stupid genius
So I'm a fucking genius, not like Stephen Hawking, I'm a low-level genius, but still a genius. I once had a friend that would tell me I should be doing more with my talents and I would respond, yeah, I tell people what I think all the time! I felt the need today to spellcheck the word "genius". Didn't think it looked right. Yeah...

if a tree falls in my neighborhood, will it make a sound, and what type of sound will it make hitting my roof?
There was a storm May 26. My neighbor's half dead tree had a large limb that broke, didn't go down, just wedged itself within the tree. He said he would take care of it an as you can see from the date, well hasn't. My daughter hasn't slept in her room all summer, I've had to park in the street, subjecting my already beaten car to more damage, and we've been deprived of the use of my back door and yard. Asshole.
I love Jonny Lang
we saw Jonny Lang at RibFest last night -- how Iowan, really they have ribs from like 8-10 vendors at exhuberantly high prices. Jonny's performance was euphoric.
I am a loser lazy blogger
Went to 80/35 music fest in Des Moines over the July 5th. http://www.80-35.com/ Saw Black Francis and Yonder Mountain String Band and The Roots. There were other local acts-- Envy Corps, Radio Moscow, Poison Control Center. Could have listened to Pieta Brown all night. Here's a pic of Black Francis and a fuzzy one of Yonder Mount. Really regret missing The Flaming Lips on the 4th.

Led Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks (rare studio session)
"voluntary" evacuations around the flood plane starting today
rain sucks
so I feel guilty for not going out and helping the sandbagging effort going on in Des Moines last night. I did do quite a bit when I was young during the 1993 fiasco-- Bill Clinton was even there. I handed out beer to all the Guardsmen with the tanks of potable water. We were without running water for 11 days then. Hopefully it won't get that bad. I do have to say I hate every Lowe's and Home Depot commercial right now. Home improvements and repairs (esp. the happy guy after Katrina -- they don't show him crying, like I'm sure he did) are not as wonderful as they make them seem. They suck. All this rain and water in my basement sucks. The neighbor who hasn't taken care of the tree hanging over my driveway in 3 weeks sucks. I should just be posting on Craigslist Rant & Raves, but they suck too. Its a lot about racism and how some extreme radical guy believes Des Moines deserves to be flooded because we're evil. In some ideal situation couldn't we somehow pump all this water to some drought-stricken area???? On the bright side my garden looks lovely.
