i don't see an icon with the world and a link on it. wah!

did you hear that, new york? we're gonna be on broadway!!
if looks could kill.... you'd be lying on the fleAHH!

holy cow, did you guys know that daddy's getting the lasik surgery this weekend??? i just found out about it myself!

jo-anne... type in the text you want hyperlinked, highlight it, and click the little icon at the top that has a picture of the world and a link on it. then type the url.

or you can do it straight html, if you know it.

remember the david copperfield special where he walked through the great wall of china? remember, remember that? that was awesome.

does anyone know how to make a clickable link in a blog?

oh, and suzanne... i sent you some stuff for your zine, but it was returned to me >:( not sure why... it was a big manilla envelope, but it should still fit in your po box. hmf!

thanks, yadas, for the box o' stuff! it's nice to get toys again. that's what birthdays are for. we didn't play drop-the-clothespin-in-the-jar, the egg toss, or pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey like old times, but i did get silly-stringed by my roommates.

anyone dressing up for halloween? i'm considering jenine garafolo's (sp?) the bowler from mystery men.

does anyone have a clue what to get dad for his birthday besides a tie or a desk calendar? or what about merle? suzanne and mike, you're already covered... mwah-ah-ah.

ooooh, lovely lady. a-girl you drive me craaaazz-ay!

it's christmas in the playhouse, and we're gonna have a lot of fun, merry christmas everybody, merry christmas everyoooooooone!

jo anne i gotcha a present. don't buy anything from now until you get it in the mail. nothing. not even a gallon of milk.

ok, just kidding. i think you already know what it is.

remember when central school had mcdonald's day? taco bell day too... and i think pizza hut day. and waiting in line for ice cream was the highlight of the day. pretty sad, but hey... i hung out with shauna lucas.

i'm sorry i made you cry about not writing period on your paper, suzanne. but i can just imaging your face lighting up when you got to middle school and they started using that word. "the world makes sense now!"

in belmont, the fire hydrants are painted like people. they're made of PEOPLE! soylent green is made of PEOPLE!

gleeb!

john smaglik: "i'd like a large, LARGE water."
"where's bobo?"

going to see midnight oil thursday! woo hoo!

for my birthday once, amber granted me half-possession of her barbie R.V. it's ok. i got her back later when i ate all of the gumballs that merle gave her for christmas. and when i broke her little finger when i snatched her crystal barbie from her clutches. and when i wrote on the wall and blamed it on her.

OMG too funny, I remember those triangle popsicle things! I loved 'em!!!

Will see about the They Might Be Giants CD... I just heard there little a-capella version of "Spiderman," way cool!

Also New Order is coming out with a new CD, yayy!

remember K D Fox? and then there was the fox 26 kids crew. kalia moved to florida and we were all sad.

then there was the big chalkboard in the basement of the belmont house, and jo anne and amber and i played school, and i cried because jo anne told me to write what period it was on my paper and i was in kindergarten, so i didn't know what periods were...
and the chicken coop in the side yard, and the big doghouse in back we used to crawl in, and i remember when my friends came over for joy school i'd hang out in there... (i think???) and amber used to always have her pink... um... super ball? or something? and it bounced over the backyard fence one day and never was heard from again...and no one can forget her cocker spaniel doll...

we took the bus to school every day, but when i found out that normal cities took yellow school buses to school i got upset. i cried a lot about stupid stuff, made my kindergarten teacher frustrated. (imagine how mom felt!) then there was the ice cream lines at central elementary where you had to get your hand stamped. we got those triangular juice minute maid frozen popsicle thingys.

completely off the subject and into 2001, everyone needs to buy they might be giants' new album, mink car. it's a lot of swinging happening fun.

the best thing about central park was the swings that were huge iron circles... too bad they took them out. all the fun stuff they say is too dangerous. sure, it's dangerous if you stand on your head or jump off the top. some dumb kid always ruins it for everyone else.

got tickets for U2, tori amos, old 97's, midnight oil... soo excited and soo broke.

yada, yada, yada-yada jing-jang-jing

Yeah, that rec-center was a city afternoon thing where Mom took us. We made lanyards, yayyy!

Central Park in San Mateo, with that little silly train that we HAD to go on.

Once you were a baby!

They say I talk like a baby!

I'm Downtown Julie Brown and welcome to Club MTV... now let's give away some free cassette singles from Whitney Houston and CHAAAAKA KAAAAAAAAHN!

TOO FUNNY I'd forgotten about nailing the sprinkler to the fence and putting up lights. I used to make steam by squirting water outside from the sink downstairs at 2003 Notre Dame. Then shine lights into it. Also had forgotten about recording the Atari video game stuff!

your mother was a hampster and your father smelt of elderberries!

yeah, suzanne, i think maybe you did come with us once or twice. i still don't know where the hell we were. was it the community babysitters? and that place was loaded with pipe cleaners (like anyone would ever clean pipes with those cute little colorful fuzzy bendy thingys) and elbow macaroni ready to glue to construction paper. for no reason.

i didn't know barbie had a breakfast cereal.

mike: alvin... alvin... ALVIN!
amber: dream about me... dream about me.. ah ooh ah ooh dream about me me...
