On a Roll?

After my last temp job ended I have been on a roll of luck. See my last employer was Asian and gave me some lucky money on my last day. As I walked out the door, someone handed me a free ice cream filled Biscotti and I caught my bus right when I reached my stop. Also I have a job interview I am excited about today and on Sunday I was interviewed to possibly be a part of a Lifetime show called 25 in 2006. Weird huh? So I hope my luck is changing.

If you haven't picked it up already please go out and get John Hodgman's "The Areas of My Expertise" it is hilarious. You may know him from NPR, the resident "expert" on The Daily Show, or those Mac commercials where he is the PC guy. Basically, if you enjoying reading fake almanacs with lots of info on hobos and werewolves this book if for you, and if you don't well then I simply don't want to be your friend.

Also I picked up The Raconteurs album yesterday and it is great. If you have only heard "Steady As She Goes" I suggest listening to "Broken Boy Soldier" or "Intimate Secretary" which are infinitely better songs. It is like the things I most love about Jack White and Brenden Benson fused together. Unfortunately, I can't go to their free Amoeba show this Thursday at 9:30, I will be seeing Hank III at the Filmore with Joe.

Can't decide if I want to buy tix to Neko Case at Bimbos or The Raconteurs at The Warfield, but there are only balcony tix left. I have heard a rumor that The Willowz may be opening for The Raconteurs on their tour, and if that is the case perhaps my brother can get me tix, we'll see.

Here are some Hobos:
