Ed Roth's "Rat Fink" — my online avatar today — was one of the first crossovers between commercial art and outsider art. Big Daddy Ed Roth's work is still a big part of the American outsider art movement to this day.

Played music tonight with my friends. More importantly, laughed a lot.
Discussion from a day ago reminded me of one of the coolest, dumbest toys of my childhood. Man alive!

Help me, please. Give me a home in Zoo World. Or Farmville. Anywhere I don't have to work for a living. Go ahead, milk me. I don't even care.
I'm the dog that ate your birthday cake. It's a wonderful life.
Speaking of food, anyone ever work in a pickle factory? I want to know what they call the last, hacked-up pickle that they slash to a rough size to fill the final gap in the jar. Really. I want to know that.

I'm done with my writing for the day. I'm going to go and force my family to spend some time together. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! God, I'm evil.
Went out this evening and saw our Boy do a very good job as Leontes in THE WINTER'S TALE and also doubling as Shakespeare's famous Bear From Which One Exits, Pursued By.

Thanks again and thanks for the belateds, too. So many congratulations, so many birthdays gone by! Now back to business. Today I blow up the world! (I'm speaking in a fiction-writing sense.)

The new Gorillaz album, Plastic Beach, is seriously phat. Gorgeous.

Wow. Thank you all for the very, very kind birthday wishes. It almost makes getting older worth it. Almost.

I actually forgot how old I am. I had to cut off one of my legs and count the rings. Wow, that's interesting -- you can even see which years I didn't get enough vitamin D.
