STUFF & THINGS

ion iptusb. it's 12" & can be stored with your records, portable w/ built in speakers (dude, vinyl pic nic?), has pitch control & is under $200. just got the new mississippi records comp, mountains 12" & city center/grouper 7". need this thing now. thank you donald bell. dan told me about the canon eos 5d mark ii. it's a 21.1 megapixel full frame slr that shoots the best video to date. not going to bother with looking up the price on that. sarah & phillip, both told me to see this swedish vampire movie.

PASSING COMPLEX

here's my friends & i giving it a shot.

"choral" by mountains (title track, not the full length)
been taking lots of pictures of broken umbrellas. mega post to come.

i'm horrible at selling things. my little neighbor in pleasanton wants to buy my old limited snowboard. i think i bought it for about $350 new in the 97. it is in good shape and has $100 bindings on it. they aren't step in. what's fair? i was thinking $40 until just now, when i wrote down what i spent. it's so old though. has snowboard technology progressed significantly since the late 90's?
