The second season of Venture Brothers started this evening. It was totally and completely awesome.

I got back from NYC last night around 8, and not a moment too soon. Oh, did I ever get caught in a thuderstorm. Oh, was my umbrella little protection. Oh, I could have sworn "waterproof" means "waterproof".

My ipod is in dry-out mode. Yesterday it still had water inside the screen, and not just a few drops from condensation. There was quite a bit of water in there, enough that I tilt the ipod and see the water move around inside, trying to find its level. The water moved slowly, though, which made it seem like one of those desktop-wave-things, with the blue liquid slowly sloshing against the clear liquid.

Please tell me you know what I'm talking about.

Other than the rain, a couple of days in the city was nice. Shopping was good. Food was good. Erase Errata were good, but didn't get great until the encore, when they were joined by their original guitarist. The show was booked to coincide with Pride Weekend, and I had fun imagining they were celebrating not gay pride, but the Japanese ultimate fighting series. Hell, in Japan they probably do get rock bands to play shows in anticipation of Pride. The Japanese are wacky that way.
