I was watching American Hardcore on cable - stumbled on it - have wanted to see it but haven't had time. My 4 year old wakes up and walks into my room and leans on the bed and watches a minute of Ian Mackaye and Minor Threat. She says, "They're a better band than you," in a very matter of fact way. She then asks if I can get her some milk and retreats to her room.

Getting her milk as instructed, I am simultaneously bemused, proud of her, yet insulted.

Another day in the life. I haven't seen Ian since Babes & Fugazi were touring Japan. There is a Japanese restaurant story, but I don't feel like regaling it with you now. I still have to put the 4 year old to bed. Let me just preface it with the fact that I do not like fish or seafood of any kind.

Good night.
