Special in a short-bus sort of way. This is true in as much as its humor is so sweetly juvenile, its wisdom so innocent and... http://www.road-dog-productions.com/weblog/2008/04/the_guatemalan.html http://www.road-dog-productions.com/weblog/2008/04/the_guatemalan.html Tue, 29 Apr 2008 11:14:39 -0600 It's a little past midnight on a cold, rainy Brooklyn night, and I just bought the new Portishead album.

I hit the sixty minute mark in St. Nick the other night. The scenes are finally starting to flow.
