Hi-

I have been neglecting you and the spring weather is to blame. I know you’ve been hungry for a new post for quite awhile and I am sorry to have starved you, but now I am going to redeem myself, and I am going to overfeed you while I’m at it. So, let’s see, I’ve got this new hot 60’s psyche post all queued up (just in time for summer) and I’ve got a few others cooking in the back of my brain, so hopefully the nice weather doesn’t sway me away from my internet duties.

There is a cat living in my house now and I call her, “Picklesworth”, and my other roommate calls her, “Bigglesworth”, but her real name is “Zoey”. She is a good cat, stays to herself mostly, but will take time out of her day to wander over and say hello. In a couple months I will be the only one living in this house and it’ll be good to have Picklesworth hanging around.

I’ve been watching the american version of “the office” a lot these days. I’m watching all the seasons out of order, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference, I catch it all. I watched all of the british version of the show a year or so ago and I loved it, but when I tried the american version I found myself entirely unfulfilled, but now it seems to be clicking and I can’t get enough.

Tonight I am going to watch The Maltese Falcon. Humphrey Bogart is the best, I really can’t get enough of him. I watched, “the treasure of the sierra madre” the other day for the second time and was totally blown away yet again. Watch this trailer and tremble.

Bye for now, there will be more, promise, collin.

Hi,

Yesterday while I was riding my bike up Pattee Canyon here in Missoula I happened to glance over to the shoulder of the road and saw the words, “Mom Only” showing on an envelope that was half-buried in gravel. I don’t usually stop riding my bike to check out garbage, but for some reason I did this time and was surprised to find the above note within the envelope. Finding the note is all the more strange considering that I found it near where I live, in Pattee Canyon, and there is a good chance this girl is living, or lived, in the forest somewhere near me. There is a magazine which collects found notes, pictures etc.. called, “Found”(www.foundmagazine.com), and I’m thinking about sending this one in.

I’ve been planning on posting this song by Can for quite awhile, but for some reason it has taken me longer to do so than I originally intended. This particular song, Yoodooright, is a favorite of a friend of mine and she cranked it up for me one day and knew I’d dig it. From Wikipedia:

Yoo Doo Right” is a song on Can’s 1969 debut album, Monster Movie, which had been edited down from a six-hour improvisation to a mere twenty minutes. The song features a pounding, tribal-influenced rhythm section throughout, along with singer Malcolm Mooney repeatedly reading excepts from a love letter in an almost mantra-like manner. During the song he develops a frog in his throat.

bye,

Collin
