wow, this is the most boring day we've had on this old blog for a while. Probably because smiller isn't here stirring things up.
Sacramento has yet another local magazine (in addition to "Sactown" which is supposed to start up soon). It's called "Senses", have you heard of it? I saw an issue the other day. I hesitate to make fun of it, for fear that someone involved will get wind and make fun of me by saying I have, like, split ends or something (it's true, I do have unkempt semi-frizzy hippy hair, which puts me solidly outside the intended readership of Senses mag), but I simply must. It is totally ridic. It is written in this pretentious, breathlessly SENSUAL style that is completely un-Sac as you and I know it. Why did I put SENSUAL in all caps? Because this is the buzzword of the mag and they use it oh, 26 times or so. If you see it around you have to check it out, I can't fully capture it here. Maybe I should submit an article for the next one called "the sexiest things to do in sexy sexcramento". This is the magazine for people who are living in Sac but saving up money to move to NY when they can. There is an ad for Black Pearl Oyster bar with a nude woman in it. There is a pretentious piece that I'm sure very few have actually read that is ostensibly about beauty, terror, and postmodernism or something? I don't know, I tried to read it but it seemed to be pointless. In the intro local celeb hairstylist Marci, who is the editor or artistic director warns that the mag will "hold nothing back". They should have tried. I don't have all negative things to say about it, though. There's a big article on Daisy Spot, which is cool, and some of the pictures of the ballet dancers are kinda cool mostly because you can see their insane leg muscles clearly.
Here's more info about Taka's from Mike Dunne. I keep holding onto the faint hope that it will come back.
Last years fourth of july "sea of drunken humanity" (a quote from the Bee) did return, albeit briefly. These people really embody the spirit of America and we should thank them, not arrest them. Naked girl mud wrestling and hitting people with oars are the freedoms that our country was founded on.

mark kalweit shot the photos for senses, and he does great stuff. but yeah, the readability of that rag is prett rough at times, but in terms of content and layout. of coures, i'm one to talk ...
Dude Island, is what I call that island. Drunken frat boys and weird old guys my age (I'm 100 years old) hitting on 17 year old girls. Sometimes drunken frat boys are funny, and sometimes you just get off the island.
We need an armadillo by Saturday. We're building a smoker out front and I still can't find the armos for sale. Armo as in "armadillo", not "Armenian".
Finally! I wondered why it's taken you this long to come to your senses! Hey, until we are able to get the print addition of The Onion distributed around town, Senses will do. And your hair is totally cool.

Thankyouthankyouthankyou. I've had the crapiest since-I-can't-remember-when at work these last few weeks, and that line was the first thing to make me guffaw in a while...

aw thanks. and fft, those ballet pics were pretty good but I think that Daisy Spot on any given day looks way better than they look in that fashion shoot, they all have awesome personal style and they looked a little stiff in the pictures, which by the way were taken in the lofts over mikuni. lame! your rag is better than their rag.
where can one get a copy of 'senses'? i'm a little scared to pick it up but i want to see what all this post modern sensuality is about in sac town. last time i checked, a beer and a good dj were all it took to have a nice night here.
and sex. lots of sexy sensual sex. i don't know where you get it. a copy magically appeared in scotts dining room. have you checked there?
do you think petey would freak out if i broke into their house to steal their copy of senses? on second thought, parrots are hella sensual. so, i should probably risk it for the sexy experience right?
i asked geraldine and she said "jipe jipe" at ear-splitting volumes whis in parrot terms is a a sensual "yes!"
You can pick up a copy of Senses at Senses. While you're there, you can get a very average haircut for $95.
I thought the photos of the Sac Ballet members were alright, but the one of the guy in the feathered coat was hilarious.

Yes, those were the very principles that freed our Forefathers from the yoke of the Crown. If it weren't for our Forefather's standing up for naked girl mud wrestling we'd still be speaking Englishe!

yeah, i hear the haircuts there aren't really that great. but, i've never experienced it. i'd expect a lot more than a haircut for $95. like, maybe something sexy.
would you settle for sensual? for sexy you have to pay more.
Alice, you can pick up a sexy Senses at Naked...

These comments are heating up! It makes me want to jump into a chocolate fountain while wearing a bikini made of strawberries. And drinking champagne. In a light rain, while smelling the jasmine-scented breeze and caressing a silky kitten, with whom I dance a spicy tango. And other sensual things.
becky, just be sure to have someone photograph that entire ritual for the next issue of senses. it wouldn't be sensual if we couldn't look at it, ya know?
