I put my Evergreen State College license plates on my car on Monday. Officially it's The Evergreen State College, but "my The Evergreen..." sounds terrible. My plate number is 0279 so if you are driving around Seattle, you'll know exactly who you are giving the middle finger to.

Admittedly, collegiate plates are a wank idea. But it's Evergreen (no grades, no glory), so the plates really fall into the so-wrong-it's-beautiful category. Another entry in that category is Evergreen's collegiate basketball program (M's W's). That's so wrong, well...

I love the blindness of blogs. I feel like I'm getting the inside content of people's brains without all that cosmetic static that we tend to paint our bodies with. Of course, cosmetics also extend into the blog world. However, regardless of what font gets used, the order and arrangement of words prevails. Yep, even big-ugly-white-guys can have their blogs.

While waiting for life that sucks to die, why not listen to my favorite unsigned bands: TQ's Garage Band Playlist.
