I had one hell of a horrible day. An expensive visit from a plumber, working until 9:00 at night, sore back, sore head, shit food because I had no time to eat, plus lots of dredged up emotional crap and self-esteem hits. A really complex web of mental stuff I can barely unravel ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I was over at Cheb and Cajones' place, watching a marathon of exceptionally terrible cinema. The Beast of Yucca Flats, Mighty Peking Man, Shriek of the Mutilated, Megaforce, Battlefield Earth, Xanadu. Only snail-like download times spared us from Manos: The Hands of Fate. What does it say about me that I've seen some of these horrors ( Read more... )

The fog of today's whopper headache is finally lifting. It required not merely falling off the caffeine wagon, but taking a huge swan dive off it, belly-flopping in a sizeable tub of Caribou Coffee. Oh coffee shop coffee, how I missed you ( Read more... )

Today's caffeine log: One and a half cups of coffee, an ice tea with lunch, and two cups of hot tea (one Earl Grey, one a mint and black tea blend.) To put this in perspective, that's roughly half my usual daily caffeine consumption ( Read more... )

Recent events have made me think about my health a little more. My health issues are minimal, really. They're just about nothing, especially compared to almost everyone else I know. But I think I know the one thing I need to do most ( Read more... )

Yesterday at work, I finally got a real cube. I had been jammed into sort of a study carrel space, which was intended for business visitors who needed a laptop connection for a couple hours, and not a temp who was going to be around for months. It's like a really for real cube, with full-size walls and a nameplate with my name on it. And it's ( Read more... )

Masks of the Illuminati debuted on Thursday night. It was a little rough. People were discombobulated due to rushing from their previous show commitments. And we had screw ups that had never happened before, losing track of props and stuff. And a couple of scenes got reversed. I don't know how the hell we got out of that, but we did, I don't ( Read more... )

So many things I should be doing right now. I need to memorize Masks of the Illuminati in an ironclad, foolproof sort of way. I need to do major grocery shopping, as I've run out of everything, even stuff that usually doesn't run out for months. I need to do yard work, as a couple of rainstorms after a long stretch of dryness made my yard Hulk ( Read more... )

I went and saw Ocean's 13 and I did not feel that my money or time was wasted. Yes, it's more in the mixed bag realm of 12, but while 12 had some great moments and some weak ones, 13 was more of a constant even keel kind of thing. I had fun, but it's not going to change your world. Julia Roberts haters may wish to note she is not in this one ( Read more... )

Terrible headache. Bad enough to make me vomit. It's been a while. Anyway, the whole day has been lost. It's still kind of there, but ignorable ( Read more... )
