I got a rad new pair of Dr. Marten's the first week of April... Here we are six months later, and I'm on the bus looking at them and thinking how cool they are and how nice it is to have finally broken them in and aren't they taking on excellent character and then I see a fucking split in the sole of the left boot that goes all the way through to the leather. Then I notice the same fucking thing has happened to the right boot as well.
I spent $150 fucking dollars on Docs so that I wouldn't have to buy another pair of shoes for five years or something, because that is why you buy Docs and everyone fucking knows it. I called up the store I got them from and told them about it, and they say that perhaps maybe probably they'll replace them. It's a damn good thing they said that, but they had fucking better actually do it because I am prepared to roll up on the place and raise the biggest goddamn stink they have ever witnessed if they don't. You fuckers know I can do it, too.

Haha, that reminds me of the morning in February when I woke up in Seattle to the news that the Residents' show at the Neptune had been canceled. I was in what was probably the most despondent mood of my entire life when some poor woman from my bank called and started getting pushy with me over some minor account kerfuffle. I can guarantee that I ruined that woman's day.

God would I not want to be the woman that had the poor luck to answer the phone and deal with you that day.

After having my house broken into last weekend, my paranoia has been on point waiting for them to come back for the rest of my stuff. So last night right after I got in bed and the dogs stated barking, I was on it. Put on my bathrobe and looked out the window. Sure enough, my car door was open and some kid was going through my shit. I ran out after him and chased him halfway down the block (stark naked with only my robe on). He escaped me because he had shoes, but I got in my car to circle the block and called the cops. We found him down the street and his friend who ran the other way too. Happy ending, except for the fact that they took my iPod and must have tossed it somewhere while they were running because they didn't have it when the cops picked them up. I tried finding it, but it rained last night, so it's probably fucked wherever it is.

You fuckers know I can do it, too. I just blew out a pair of Docs. I went to an all night Halloween event last weekend, and the next day I found a split in the bottom. It was probably the rough terrain of the event grounds. They were pretty wore down, and I got a couple years out of them. I wore them all week, but today was the first snow of the season, and I ended up with a wet sock as soon as I walked outside. They were the lace-less slip on style. Those thing are so comfortable, I'll most definitely end up replacing them in the near future. The first pair of Docs I bought a few months before my other pair had to be exchanged after a few weeks. The tread split down the center like 2 layers of rubber coming apart. The people at the shoe store exchanged them without question and said they never had a problem with that particular style, which was a standard type of Doc. I'll be wearing those now that my other pair took a shit on me.

My ma went into the hospital with acute kidney failure a little less than two weeks ago. There have been some pretty tense moments in the meantime, but we finally got a diagnosis -- Goodpasture's syndrome, an extremely rare and particularly aggressive auto-immune disorder. Even the most optimistic outlook is shaping up to involve a kidney transplant.
Which is more or less the reason I haven't been around much lately. I've got a fair amount of catching up to do; more than I've had in years. I still love you bastards, you all know that. Just, y'know. Real life happens sometimes.

Just heard that the Easy Street Records in West Seattle closed for good. The fucking internet is killing all the good record stores.

I heard it third hand, so I'm really hoping it's not true. But, the reality of what the electronic age is doing to brick and mortar record stores is undeniable.
