Tuesday, June 29th, 2004The fetching Darleece is out of town, visiting her newly repatriated sister, for whom I suppose I’ll have to come up with a nickname now. It’s no Huge Daunting Journey, just Norman, two boring hours down the Turnpike. But as I end up doing every time tha Lady leaves town, I spent last night visiting [...]
New stuff
Monday, June 28th, 2004The tail wraps around my wrist. She’s reading a book, and that’s a wine glass in her hand. And yes, it’s supposed to look like her.
A damn fine weekend …
Sunday, June 27th, 2004… and it’s not even over yet. The constantly badass k drove freakin’ 11 and a half hours to T-town from A-town, just so she could join us in drinking foolish amounts here, instead of there. It’s been tons of fun. I mean, by our standards, anyway. Really it’s like having a good friend visit [...]
Set and match
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2004Thanks for excellent suggestions, good persons. In response, can I just say how much I wish I could remember the words to “I’m Just a Bill”? That would be, like, an entire lot. Ferreal. The Creek Indian Community Center is at 8611 S. Union, for those local schmoes interested in showing up. It looks pretty [...]
Paging the Rock God
Monday, June 21st, 2004Due entirely to the fact that A-Team is organizing the damn thing, I’ve managed to drunk-guitar my way into a paying public performance this Saturday afternoon. This has led to a little worrying on my part: Do I know songs by a wide enough variety of artists to fill a 40-minute set? I mean, I [...]
Weekly reader
Thursday, June 17th, 2004My dream job for quite some time has been reporter for the Weekly World News. I can’t imagine it being anything but fucking wonderful, and as it’s probably a guild paper, and it probably comes out of Florida, where the cost of living is pretty high, I’m thinking the pay’s probably pretty solid, around the [...]
Three Years ago …
Wednesday, June 16th, 2004… I was thinner. But I wasn’t necessarily a better person. Nonetheless, I had the common sense and presence of mind to realize my lady was the best of the lot, and so when the guy said “Do you?”, I went ahead and said yes, please, and I was lucky, and she said the same [...]
Looks like we’re really in love
Tuesday, June 15th, 2004One time Darleece and I were walking somewhere, and I put my fists together like Ryu in “Street Fighter 2″ and shouted “HRRRRRRRRR-UKEN!”, and without missing a beat, she made roughly the same gesture and shouted “sonic BOOM!” It didn’t take us long after that to get engaged. I mean, seriously, what else do you [...]
O iPod, my iPod
Monday, June 14th, 2004Okay, so at this point, having gotten my iPod in the mail, charged it up, stroked it gently and whispered encouragements into its headphone jack, and imported every song on my computer with 17 Gigabytes to spare, I can safely say that I’ve wholly and enthusiastically entered what my boss’s boss fondly refers to as [...]
“Coup D’etat.”
Friday, June 11th, 2004Okay, I know it may get irritating, and tell me if it does, but until anybody says anything, I’m gonna keep dropping to my knees and thanking Satan for my awesome job, and lately for summer hours, the best thing ever to happen to the work week. “Summer whaaa?”, you say, your jaw dropping a [...]
