Dear Readers
Yesterday when I logged into LJ I was greeted by an extremely obnoxious pop up ad from Best Buy that just waltzed right around my pop-up blocker. I had no choice but to endure the off-key strains of Best Buy employees whipped into singing Christmas carrols by management ( Read more... ) -
RIP Steve Maycroft
I heard an old friend, Steve Maycroft of Muskegon died of an embolism Sunday. When I was first starting to get good at playing guitar, Steve was one of only two guitarists in town who were an ispiration to me, because of his incredible playing skill, his down to earth attitude, and his humilty. He approached guitar with reverence, but also with ( Read more... ) -
Beautiful Day
Went biking around Ypsi this morning. Nice, sunny, warm, quiet. The drunks and addicts are all still passed out/in bed/sleeping it off, and the church-fucks are all in church being brainwashed with the colonizers' religion. The only other time it's this quiet in Ypsi is in the wee hours...but I consider anyone who bikes at night without a light a -
When "Mature Duck" Is On Sale
Just remember that "mature" is a euphemism for "old" and that at least where ducks are concerned, "old" merans tough. When last I was at Vons there was a sale on frozen duck, and since I love duck I bought one. After roasting it for the required 2.5 hours I had something extremely greasy, tough as rawhide, and relatively flavorless ( Read more... ) -
Cristy's Going Away Party
My friend and former bandmate Cristy is moving to California. While I'm happy that she is managing to escape Michigan I'm going to miss her a lot. We had a lot of good times and fun playing. Last night I went to her going away party over at Crystal's house ( Read more... ) -
Ohio Lesbian Festival and Other Stuff
We got back Sunday from the Ohio Lesbian Festival. It was mostly ok, and mostly fun, except that I had an emotional meltdown Saturday. It was sort of the culmination of losing my job, being unemployed, dealing with the ongoing rejection of job hunting, a crass comment from one of the vendors at OLF, the long car ride, being tired, hungry and hot...

Uphill, Through the Sand, Against The Wind
This morning I biked into Whitmore Lake to visit Sal. Unfortunately he was not awake when I arrived at the appointed time, so I got to turn my Mongoose Franken-bike back around and head right back the way I came ( Read more... ) -
The Cat And I
Are having a marvelous hunting expedition. Our quarry; a hapless, unfortunate lost fly which somehow got into the apartment. Till now I did not realize how high Kaz can jump, or what lengths I will go to to not work on the songs I agreed to learn by next week.

Dealing With Unemployment
I have now been laid off from Between The Lines for about a month. Its hard not to get depressed when I see the dearth of employers out there that are hiring. Leaving the state is beginning to look like the only sane option ( Read more... ) -
Saturday Morning, 3 a.m.
It seems I cook in my sleep. Yesterday morning at 3 or so I got up, washed a frying pan, cracked eggs into a bowl, cut up something green which was probably a tomatillo, cut up an onion, made a grumbled comment about not having any cheese, and proceeded to cook Lorraine a perfect omelet. All without waking up. According to her I then went back to ( Read more... )
