Here’s a little tidbit: Don’t take the yellow sinus pills when you’re at work. Especially on an empty stomach. Because when they kick in, you’re going to feel like you’re tripping balls. And when you stand up, you might stumble. And the people who work with you might wonder if you’re drunk. And for the rest of the night everything you touch will feel soft and everything you see will look like you’re viewing it…
I was so looking forward to usual Saturday outing to El Mezcal, but Phil’s working late and here I am killing time until he gets here. But the clock’s ticking and I have to leave for work at 3. I need chips and salsa. STAT. So let’s kill some time, shall we? Here’s an excellent column in the Scene that pretty much sums up the inner turmoil I’m feeling over Islam right now. I want…
How could I have guessed that my inaugural Audioblog post would rally the Satanists? It’s too funny to take down, even though I do sound, like Tamara said, bored and miserable. That’s a fun little tool, there. Bravo to the tech wizards who came up with that and made it free. Just imagine all the neat Audioblogs I could post if I actually went anywhere and did anything! Speaking of going and doing, Phil and…
Jamie came over and we all ate grilled lemon pepper chicken. I chopped mine up and put it in a salad and felf halfway self-sufficient. Halfway, since I didn’t cook the chicken; all I did was open the bag of pre-made salad. But I’ve been helping out with the cooking more than usual lately. I figure it’s high time I learned how to feed myself. I mean, I’ve been out of a high chair for…
Tonight I was told that’s what ‘Memphis’ stands for. Never heard it in my life. But Phil, it seems, is up on the Orange Mound/Dirty South/rap subculture to a greater degree than I am and he was kind enough to impart this morsel to me. So what does ‘Nashville’ stand for? Turns out that PitW beat me to the ‘Menace’ headline. Andy Dick is a funny bastard. The new “Surreal Life” is buzzing in the…
Hurricane’s a’comin’. It’s dark here and we’re under flood and tropical storm watches. Has any news organization made the aforementioned obvious reference? I sure hope not. It’s tempting, I know. I was up ’til 5 this morning playing the “Space Colony” demo. Now that I’ve finished it, I’ll probably have to buy the game. I have a real weakness for things that involve sitting on my ass. If I can help it, I’ll stay in…
God, I’m bored out of my frickin’ mind. Saturday nights mean waiting games at work. Hurry up to hit the early deadline and then wait around to hit the late one. Then wait more for the “roger” to go home. There’s no skipping out early; when news breaks, you have to be there to put it on the page. Even if it ends up not breaking. So I wait. I made my occasional MySpace rounds…
I’m deeply sorry for those who have lost someone or been hurt themselves in this latest act of unconscionable violence. But this whole sequence of events is far more complex than I’ll ever fully grasp. I know that. So I’m not going to talk policy or say “I told you so, Bushies!” because that seems foul, even if that’s how I’m inclined to feel. I’ve all but lost hope that we’ll get out of this…
