A lot has happened since I last posted. I started a few times, but just couldn't bring myself to sit there and write it out ( Read more... )

At work. I was seeing double on the highway ("hit the one in the middle!" rings in my mind, Paulie from "Rocky IV"). Bernard Herrmann's strings-only "black and white" score from "Psycho" is on...my version of neutral, unobstrusive music as I venture into playing music at work ( Read more... )

Have 30-45 minutes before I have to leave for Palatine on some errand to meet Tom the Phone Guy at our new building. Guns N' Roses' "You Could Be Mine" is playing just because I love the complex drumming ( Read more... )

God damn it...after spending the whole day thinking I would be out early since I ran out to Hickory Hills this morning, but at the last minute, he told me to stay late and help his brother write a letter. I can usually speed through that stuff pretty quickly, but he said something about how it would take him 30-45 minutes just to nail down the ( Read more... )

The aftermath of last night wasn't so bad. There was a bloody handprint on a wall next to the bathroom that washed off easily, and careful washing removed all the dried blood from my left eyebrow. There's a slight amount of swelling, but no discoloration ( Read more... )

Trying to put on ice pack on my face as I frantically clean the carpet, trying to prevent swelling so I don;t have to make up some story tomorrow. Slammed a door in my face several times until I collapsed on the floor, and now I'm bleeding profusely above my left eye and starting to feel numb, which probably means swelling that will turn black and ( Read more... )

I take a drink from my 1-liter bottle of Dr. Pepper. Actually, it's about one-quarter Jack Daniel's and three-parts Diet Pepsi. I cackle to myself (oooh, I'm so clever!) as I take sips sitting five feet from my new boss, at least for the next few weeks ( Read more... )

Leaving on my road trip in a matter of minutes. I'll go down to L.A., buy weed, see a movie, and then...well, my ex-roommate gave me a "gift" for my birthday...four $20 chips at the Spearmint Rhino in downtown L.A ( Read more... )

Called AT&T this morning and explained my position. As I feared, they pointed out that I was on an old plan that only gave me regional coverage, so technically it's my own dumb-ass fault for not being cognizant of it, even though I've had the plan for six years and have traveled only rarely outside the region, usually to much less-populated areas ( Read more... )

"I took in a movie. An appalling little piece of filth, its "leading lady" was a blonde harlot who spent half the film strolling around naked as a jaybird! No, just give the Great Unwashed a pair of oversized breasts and a happy ending, and they'll oink for more every time!" - Mr. Burns ( Read more... )
