I hope your demons are gone now, Elliot, posted at 12:33 p.m.
Epiphany in Baltimore has moved to epiphanyinbaltimore.blogspot.com Elliot Smith is dead.Wow, what a huge bummer. He made Good Will Hunting one of the great movie soundtracks, ever, and I loved seeing him perform on the Oscars. I believe his was the same year that Celine Dion performed her crappy Titanic song, and his performance was so honest and amazing, especially next to hers. I saw him at Magic Stick shortly before "Miss Misery" broke, and he put on a great show. He was a great songwriter, very powerful.
By the way, it's tough for me to think of a worse way to commit suicide than stab yourself to death. Maybe dousing yourself in gasoline and burning to death is worse.

Things have been good today. I'm determined to catch up on my work before I leave school today. Tips last night were terrible. A guy with a $35.54 bill left a $4.46 tip. I wanted to chase him down and tackle him and call him a cheap bastard.
