Friday, December 12th, 2003God damn. You know what I love? I love that, at the end of every week, there’s two days where I don’t have to go to work. You know what I am because of those two regularly recurring days? Goddamn lucky, that’s what. Here’s a shout out to my former colleagues in the newspaper business, [...]
Christened in blood / Raised in sin …
Friday, December 12th, 2003Christened in blood Raised in sin He’s sweet 16 Let the party begin Happy birfday to my golden, lean brother. My mom has already requested that I take him to a hotel room and get him drunk.
Written in stone
Thursday, December 11th, 2003I’m going on record to say that Princess Daisy by Judith Krantz is the greatest book ever written. Oh, I’ll tell you why. First of all, allow me to display my credentials. I’ve read a lot of shitty romance novels. Some with titles like The Wolf and the Dove, The Lion’s Lady, One Wore Blue, [...]
Cut down in his prime
Wednesday, December 10th, 2003So, a few weeks ago the guy from Ladybugs hung himself. I know. I’m pretty paralyzed by not caring. Of course I had to consult my good friend the internet to find out all goods on this tragic occurance. Ok, maybe I’m not paralyzed but I was a far cry from some of the other [...]
Worst weatherman ever
Tuesday, December 9th, 2003Let me tell you a little something about how we do the weather at our station: On the cheap, that’s how. No surprise, since that’s how we do pretty much everything we can, since we’re funded by our listeners, and are thus not “rolling in it,” as the saying goes. This means that our weather [...]
Keeps on giving
Tuesday, December 9th, 2003I worry I’ll jinx myself by stating this, but at this point I’m way farther ahead on my XXX-mas shopping right now than I even remotely thought I would be. So far I’ve got my parents, sister, and Darleece out of the way. Also, since Max Power & Chesty LaRue are getting married close to [...]
Sometimes at night the voices come
Monday, December 8th, 2003So last night at 4 a.m., I awoke for no particular reason, and apparently that’s when my brain does most of its heavy lifting, ’cause man, I was waist-deep in good ideas before I knew what was happening. None of these ideas were for miracle products, or cures for diseases, or cures for deeply engrained [...]
Let’s step into the way-back machine
Monday, December 8th, 2003I have a degree in history. I’m super proud of my history degree because, quite honestly, I love history. Simple truths people. Some days when I let my mind take over. Ok, every day when I can’t stop my thoughts from wandering, I play a little game called Time Machine. This game is very easy. [...]
Another round
Saturday, December 6th, 2003Okay, so one week after my unfortunate experience with the open bar at one cocktail party, I’m going to another one tonight. Wish me luck. I think I’m gonna do a little better this time. For one, it’s at my ex-girlfriend’s dad’s house (take a moment to take in the deep weirdness of this), and [...]
A friendly, shambling mass
Friday, December 5th, 2003After a fun Thanksgiving at a bad-ass hotel in Eureka Springs, I returned to scenic Tulsa to attend an annual cocktail party thrown by a couple of friends of mine. This party was unique to my life in a couple of ways: 1) It was a relatively formal affair, requiring coat and tie (and in [...]
