I rarely know what you’re talking about.

Livin’ the dream

The 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

The 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 …

… 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

Thanks 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 easy [...]

Paging the Rock God

Due 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 could [...]

Weekly reader

My 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 …

… 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 thing, [...]

Looks like we’re really in love

One 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 need?

P.S. [...]

O iPod, my iPod

Okay, 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.”

Okay, 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 bit, [...]
