Other Current Obsessions

SexInfo101 is my new favorite site. Especially the 3D positions section. It is a comedic gold mine. And, I guess if you're one of those people who has sex on a regular basis, you might use it for things other than a good laugh. This site is NSFW, obvi. Unless you work at Cosmo.  Speaking of Cosmo, if you've ever wanted to have sex on a surfboard, but weren't sure how, today is your lucky day: Surf's Up (of course it's called that).

Stuff I Like in the New Year

The xx are one of my new favorite bands. Not as angsty as my usual choices, but still good. This video is boring, so just listen to the song and try not to be pissed that your parents sold your Fischer-Price toy piano from back in the day.



This video is Angus and Julia Stone. They're Australian, if that makes you appreciate this more. Watch for the elephant. Big thanks to Jenni for telling me about both bands!!

Demonstrations Lack Caress

Listened to this all summer long.  I prefer the acoustic version. 

Random Acts of Grindness

These are my new favorites!  It's a 2/1 and super stretchy.  I'm sure guys spend a lot of time watching girls adjust their bikinis, but I'd never noticed how every girl in the lineup is tugging at some part of her bathing suit before, during, or after every wave.  There's nothing worse than ruining a wave because you have to stop what you're doing to yank up your bottoms.  And keeping boobs under wraps...

I was a little worried about the C/T factor, but didn't have any problems.  Well no one seemed to be staring or pointing at my crotch, so I think your lady lumps should be fine. The elastic around the legs prevents it from riding up too much.  Since they're really stretchy, I'd order a size or two down.  I have a flat hiney and these made it look flatter, so if you're always worrying about how huge your ass looks in a bikini, this wetsuit will help.

Do not use the external key pocket.  One night I stayed out past dark to watch the moon come up and was goofing around in the shorebreak and lost my key.  I was out in CA and didn't really know anyone's number.  I really didn't know how to get to anyone's house, either.  I wondered why I rode stupid 50-pound boards.  But, everything turned out okay because one of the seven people that I knew happened to walk by and rescue me.

Drums, please!

"Summer always feels endless until it suddenly ends. For kids, there is no greater tragedy than summer’s end. September is the Monday of months. . . The last drive home has a special melancholy. The roads and landscapes that had grown so familiar slip past for the last time, turning into memories before your eyes."

Jeff Scher's animated farewell


And so you don't get too sad:

Rock 'n roll needs

more kickass piano and backup singers.



(The live version of this song didn't sound so hot. The lag stops after a bit.)

It's labor day, so I've devoted my day to various labors of love. Raging tendinitis in my shoulder and knee is also keeping me off of the tiny waves. My apologies for not updating this blog all summer.

Boy Afraid

Of birthdays! Morrissey had one this week. Shouldn't he be knighted soon? I would say that other than Neil Young, Morrissey is the one other musician I need to see in concert before I die. His tickets are just always so expensive. And no one ever wants to go with me. And if I had to go see him by myself I would probably o.d. on melancholy.

I have some updates to make and by writing this it means that I WILL update tomorrow. No excuses. I'm hoping last night's five cans of Red Bull wear off by then. My topics will include: Mask, Separation Anxiety, and I forgot. It should be pretty awesome. I know I'm pumped about it.
