Kick It With You
One of the greatest liberties of life is a good laugh, and thanks to terrific friends (Friends of Sunny or FOS) I'm none too short on laughs.

My friend Elisha gave me a short illustrated book called "In Me Own Words: The Autobiography of Bigfoot" -- a 44-page book of super-short vignettes where Bigfoot waxes on about the vagaries of his misunderstood life. I'm pretty sure it was the way that I was reading it out loud that made us girls want to collectively pee our panties. Here's a snippet from a story called "If You Going To Chase, Please No Spray With Holy Water":

ok. Listen. I not know where all you morons come from but holy water no hurt Bigfoot. Garlic and Crucifix also no. Fire, Pitchfork, Silver Bullet ok. Cryptonite do nothing. It not even real. Please stop sending letters asking "What you vulnrability? What Bigfoot?" Like I tell you. What next me bank account number? Why not you invest time in moving out of Parent basement? Maybe have sex or something. Yes I be talking to you Steve. Yooooou! Stalking is a crime Steve.

Eh, perhaps the humor doesn't exactly translate over a blog. Whatevs. Your loss, suckas. Other stories include "I You Private Dancer," "Eat Too Much," "You Shitty Cat" and "You Think I Want Live In Bushes?" Worth checking out. For reals.

Visual assault: Here's are two videos -- totally cruel but sort of funny (thanks Rob and Christian). But I'd much rather watch this one: Davey skillfully plays with his ball, soccer ball that is. How effing hot is he? Then he goes shirtless... (thanks Clarissa)

Now for some feel-good wax: Last month, I got my hands on Fujiya and Miyagi's Collarbone 10'' single (thanks Jordan). It's essential listening and if you know what's good for you, you'll download this NOW. Nu disco that instantly tranforms your mood. Available only on vinyl and in limited run, most retailers are down to their last copies or have already zipped through their small stock. Buy at Rough Trade.

Hey Sunny!
I'm still watching that YoutTube video of Davey kicking his soccer ball around. He's the sex.
Been listening to that F&M song all morning! Par excellence!

You see, I'm finding that Bigfoot story funny. But Collarbone is just phenomenal. Way to go!
