Day shift dispatchin is still pretty cool. I'm getting pretty good at talking on the radio, using all my 10 codes now without saying to myself "huh huh I just said 10-4 huh huh". I took a call from my former retail boss today. Who's in charge now? Who needs who now?

I have a ride-along schedule for both of the next two days--one with the city PD the other with the fire dept. Gonna crack some skulls and then go put a fire out. Bozeman, MT, is soooo safe now.

Two new Bright Eyes albums come out tomorrow. I'll try to pick up at least I'm Wide Awake It's Morning. I'll probably put off Digital Ash in a Digital Urn until I can save up more pennies and nickles.

Gonna send some books out for Octopus reviewers today or tomorrow. Probably tomorrow.

Sideways is playing down at the old downtown one-screener. Might go tonight.
