For my "Town"

Since I was a kid I wanted a Town as a home. Here is a good example of a starter "shop". My idea is home theatre would look like a cinema, kitchen dinging would look like a cafe etc.KLONDIKE CABIN PLAN

OK so I get the Geek of the Year award

Tonight there was a commercial from Liberty Mutual Insurance: about Teen Driving and they were dropping a car from a crane to demonstrate, what its like in a crash. The tail end of the video has the woman saying "Now at 60 miles per hour" This is impossible. You see you cannot make the same object fall faster. Gravity alone determines the rate of an object in a free fall. It is a constant. Sounds weird but it can be proven with Calculus. Its been known since the days of Galileo 400 years ago.
But I do guess incorrect information that stops kids from driving with no seatbelts is not all that bad. Just bad math. :-)

Flu

My lungs are clearing out. Last night I had such diminished lung capacity my breath was labored and I honked once in a while like I have seen asthmatic kids do. The cough syrup did not seem to do anything, the coughs continued and they were not terribly productive. Today my nose is running like a faucet. My Fever is still there. I am in a dream-like state a lot of time. My naps involve a lot of in and out of conciousness. I think I am sleeping about 18 hours a day. Sure is reaking havok on the puppy. Fortunately, he loves to sleep next to me. He can be in rambuncious play-mode and if I lay down and face the back of the couch he just lay down. I wish he'd do that in the morning.
wednesday symptoms appear,
thursday uncomfortable
friday I worked and it sucked
I took off saturday I think it was overall my worst day. I had the phone near my bed in case I could not breath.
Sunday I am laying around and watching TV shows form the 1960s. Yesterday I watched Burt Reynold's "White Lightning" and T3. White Lightening was the precurser to the silly "Gator"

Scooters

why does it seem like nearly everyone needs a scooter now? To hear ads on TV the scooter business is booming. Thy all seem to prey on your persnal greed "at no cost to you". No just to us schmos paying into fucking Medicare. its about as bad when you think of it as the lawyer injury ads.

Sick, dog, dinner and the Harp

I think I cought the flu bug. I feel fairly achy, congested and have a head-ache. I got up this morning -- too early -- and rambled over to Rite Aid to pick up some cough medicine and asthma pills.. I picked up some dvds of old TV shows 100 for $30 mostly 50s and 60s. High points being Beverly Hillbillies, Andy Griffith and Bonanza. I was a bit worried they'd be the same as I already have, but I think so far I have only found a dupe AG episode. These shows are like the ones on the old CBN cable network back in the day.

The animals are finally realizing Boudain is here to stay. Alex comes down now, but does not interact with him. TC no longer puts up with stuff he was. He needed to set some boundaries with the pup. I am very glad I have the puppy. I do get tired of playing fetch all the time. But he is so sweet. In fact he's curled up on his back next to me right now. I had no idea dachshunds were such great dogs. People that have them seem to love them.

Tonight I am going for dinner at the Donnely's. I plan to tune my autoharp there. I am going to bring a bottle of Penfold's. I almost bought a Jug today as a joke for Jim. I cannot wait to see their place. They really are kind of like surrogate cool parents, although they may think of me more as a cool friend.

I sure hope I beat this flu bug. Everyone seems to have it. I skipped my vitamins last week due to sheer laziness, and low and behold - sick. Every time I do, I seem to catch something. I am convinced that is why, as a rule, I am pretty healthy.

Bob’s Chop Suey House

Bob’s Chop Suey House closed in 2000. I remember chuckling about the place as a freshman, but ultimately going there for dinner. We made reservations for a private room. We found a napkin on the table and I thought it was so funny. It was also BYOB with setups for sale. Setups are drinks without the alcohol. You could bring your own bottle, but you had to buy eye and mixers form them. We saw old people with their alcohol attaches. On the ceiling were neon animals, chickens and pigs. On the tile floor of the first floor entrance was the simple words "chop suey". Oh the restaurant was on the second floor.

How Ironic that Average Joe's Adam Mesh's Pretty in Pink Themed night ultimately was the ending for the show too. Molly Ringwald picked the cute guy over the funny guy too. Although the cute guy was also rich, but only through his parents. It was High School though.

Despite how Melena looks shallow and stuff, I believe she may have been intimidated by Adam's success. But he was also a bit insecure about her (who wouldn't be?). If she was looking for true love, I doubt she'd have been on two reality dating shows.

Little Dog Found

Last night the puppy slipped out. TC normally stays in the yard and Boudain does not follow him if he leaves. Last night was different. All of a sudden TC is at the door without the pup. I wonder if TC did it on purpose? From what it seems Boudain spent the night on the cul-de-sac. He was just let in this afternoon. I am very grateful to that lovely block for watching. I cannot let them out anymore. I should have learned my lesson when TC got picked up on Liberty one Sunday. I am going to stop being so lazy and take them for walks when I get home now. TC cannot be trusted to take care of him.

Boudain is dead tired sprawled on the Blankey.

How the "rescue" happened makes me believe my prayer worked. On the way home I hoped upon hope he'd be on my porch waiting for me. He was not. I got TC, and took him out on the leash. First I stopped at the house across the street with the 2 dogs. No on e answered. I went around the corner and walked down Lindy Lane. I asked one young dad if he saw him. He had not. I passed some other people, and I just decided to go to the end of the cul-de-sac - Lindy CT. I saw 3 people and asked if they'd seen a puppy. First they said no, then one of the ladies asked what kind. I told her a dachshund, and she said she thought she saw a "Datsun" across the street, and they did not have a dog. I knocked on the door, and a man answered. I told them I was looking for a puppy. He said Yea, and Boudain came barreling out and licking my face. I am going to buy them a speedway gift card.

I think God encouraged me to go down the court. It did not occur to me earlier. It was pretty amazing how it all played out. I made a promise to keep them on leashes from now on. Not just smart, but the law.

How many suicide victims do you know?

Got a message that someone I vacationed with, a partner of a friend of mine, killed himself Thursday.
I can think of 5 people in my life that have done it, but am pretty surethough, the number is 6. That just seems like a big number to me. Did I forget number 6 (5)? the reason I am pretty sure its 6 is in Grad school I rattled off my list to dave, and it was 5 and he freaked out. Did I forget someone? I tend to feel sorrow for the victim, with a touch of anger, because I know the victims that continue the pain, are the living. who did I lose? One was a classmate, and I remember him. I am forgetting names, but I forget the names of the living.

  1. michael
  2. Nick Senese
  3. Johnny Peterson
  4. Classmate high school
  5. trumpet player, a buddy
  6. ???

Why do I get so bothered?

Why do I let the trials and tribulations of Ray's love life get me so bothered? I guess I have watched him be stupid with so many people, and he always seems to "swoop in" and get the guy then muck it up. I admit I am physically attracted to him. That is the, I believe the root of it all. He was the source of my dislike of Jason. Once Ray was out of the picture, I got along great with him. The chris situation is classic. Ray is attracted - Chris rebuffs, then acquiesces, then re-rebuffs. No Ray is back with Patrick, someone he disdained just days before.

AskMen.com - Engineer Joke: "Talking Frog


November 8th, 2003 (No.1527)
AskMen.com Rates This Joke: 7/10



An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, 'If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess.'
He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke again and said, 'If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week.'
The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and put it back in his pocket. The frog then cried out, 'If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do anything you want.'
Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, 'What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, and that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?'
The engineer said, 'Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog... now that's cool!' "

I could have been accused of insider trading.

Back when I was in college, my mom made an innocent comment of how my dad had been working a lot on an aquisition. I instantly knew that Northwest was buying Republic Airlines. Had I any moula, I would have bought all the stock I could. I even contemplated goign for a bank loan. Thinking back, this would have been considered insider trading, jst from the appearance. My dad in no way told me about it. and mom did not even know what was going on. I am not sure how illegal buying up a take over target by family of senior management would have looked, but I doubt it would have looked good.

Sense prevailed, and even then at the ripe young age of 21 I knew the appearance of impriety was bad. It would have been bno where near the scope of the IMClone business of Martha Stewart.

No one is irreplaceable in this business.

That they do not value what I do, should be of no surprise.

The honeymoon is over for me, and I have to decide how long I can endure the marriage.

Things are not getting better. they are getting worse. Things I fix are not appreciated.

Maybe I should just go try and see if there is some other place I can work, until I can get my life settled. I feel very vulnerable right now. Car, CCs, other various bills. I wish I could say I was living the high life, but I am not. Every single time I get near to being caught up, something else happens. I realize this is why we have savings. and its usually people my age that tell people this all the time.

Things I can do to fix.
  1. sell stuff.

  2. Get a better paying job.

  3. get a roommate.


all of these are very do-able.

Tomorrow I can get things ready for a sale,
but first I need to get my Truck in to have the brakes looked at.
I can skip this, but need to get a ride to the Thoroughbred Center on Saturday.
I can apply at Jonathon's tomorrow though.

I LOVE GAY MECCA
(a bawdy 5-minute sketch)

(c) 2003 by Zeke Krahlin


Let's give it up for Jehovah's Queer Witness! Rah!

(While putting on wings:)
Jesus is Back...and he's funnier than electric eels run loose in a boys
locker room!

Whenever I do open mic, I am ALWAYS introduced as "Jehovah's
Queer Witness". And this rainbow sweater with the pink wings have
become my trademark. Along with this Walgreens dragonfly
refrigerator magnet.

The premise of my character is this: Jesus Christ returns to
planet earth, and he's queer as a Susan B. Anthony dollar bill.
So is his Dad, who is also his lover. And they're a couple of
wild and crazy fags.

So how does our Gay Lord make his second coming known to the
masses? Well, he starts out by appearing here and there at open
mics in San Francisco, as a queer standup comic and storyteller.

But he's not very good, though because his Holy Father's spoiled
him rotten (extreme favoritism, you know)...he honestly believes
he's REALLY talented. So how do I pull off playing such a
character? Well, I'm trying!

===============
(Become Jehovah's Queer witness:)

I rock you know. I'm what's happening, dudes...dudettes.

I love Gay Mecca! Every day's a great day, if you're gay... here
in San Francisco. And today was just another typical day for me:

My alarm goes off at 10:30am (I'm unemployed). I roll over and
yawn, when someone buzzes my door. Turns out to be eleven
gorgeous studs delivering me breakfast in bed! Topped off with a
yummy BJ by the slave of my choice...who straddles me the entire
time I butter my toast!

What a way to start the day, huh?

The I pull a triple S (shave shit and shower) and step
out...stroll down Market Street where I walk by this STUNNING
dude...upon whose arm, unfortunately, dangles a chic.

So I says to the lady: "Whoa, dear, I hope you don't mind my
saying this, but dammit, your boyfriend has the most gorgeous
basket I've ever seen on a dude!"

So the guy addresses her: "How come you never say nice things
like this, about me? Where has the romance gone?" Well, they get
into this argument, and I decide "uh-oh, I'd better scram", when
the cute dude tells me to wait up.

He dumps his fiancee for me...can you believe it? And the next
thing you know he's wining and dining me at the Top of the Mark!
He says: "You say such nice things about me. My ex, though, only
thinks about herself...me, me, me...what can my boyfriend do for
me today?"

"That's nice, honey" I say over my third glass of Sparkling Rose.
"Please pass the caviar. And when you're done massaging my feet,
I could use another BJ. My semen's building up again. You were
pretty good last time--not knocking it--but I KNOW you can do
better!"

Well, before we depart, he gives me his card, proposing domestic
partnership. I says: "I'll think about it; don't know if I'm
ready to hang with a multi-millionaire yet...you know how us
renegade counter-culture types are. Let me get back to you."

And it's only 3pm...the day's not even half over! So I decide to
hang out for a while South of Market, at this gay biker bar, Hole
in the Wall, on 8th and Folsom.

There's a new bartender there, Donald, and boy does he make me
happy! Not only does he treat me to all the drinks and ganja I
want, but provides me with my own back room where he gives me the
best BJs I've had this entire week!

But all play and no work makes Jehovah's Queer Witness a dull
savior, so I decide to go home, and work on a new skit. But will
the bartenders and customers of Hole in the Wall let me leave
without first going down on me, each and every one? No, they will
not, God bless 'em! Each and every mouth, a luscious memory!

A hundred and five BJs in less than an hour. How do I do it? I
have no idea why I'm so virile! Leave it to Daddy's queer magic.
Well, just when I buckle my belt and am about to leave, this
bodacious police officer saunters on in, and says (peering around
in the dim light, fondling his handlebar mustachio):

"Where's this Jehovah's Queer Witness fellow who I just heard
back at Mission Station, has the most OUTSTANDING family jewels this
side of the Sierra Nevada?" Well, one thing quickly leads to
another, and I am delayed an ADDITIONAL several minutes before I
could really step out.

Walking home (for the exercise) is a mistake. What should be only
half an hour hike, takes two! I swear, a gorgeous, studly cop at
every corner offers to service me...and does! (In the nearest
doorway of course; I'm nothing if not discrete.)

So I have to just forget about writing that new skit this
evening...else I won't make it here tonight, for the show! So
that, folks, is just a brief list of the MANY reasons I love Gay
Mecca!

And now you ALSO know what queers like me on disability do with
all our spare time... besides trying our hand at stand-up comedy!
Thanks, you're a great audience, but I got fourteen muscle-bound
gang members waiting on the corner out there, dying to show me
their love. Ciao!

I am having an epidemic of dreams. I have remembered them a lot lately. Today I had a nightmare of sorts. It started out all idyllic - Blue Lagoon. I was the benevolent older guy trying to protect the kids. But some how my dad, was th ebad guy and not only did he strand them on the island, but he was trying to get their boat. Initially he did not know I was there, but when he found me, it looked violent. I woke up.

Monday, October 06, 2003

All the dreams I remember latrely have involved water. Stepping down a flight of stairs, and having nearly everyone I know floating peacefully in some form of lake.

Fishing and pulling out the huge fish.

comeing home - to my old house - to find my old roommate added major water scaping elements to the yard. Waterfalls, fish ponds. It was quite lovely.

Last night I dreamt I caught a real big fish. Five feet or more. It was huge and every one was impressed. But later I could tell no one about it, as they were all preoccupied. It was a white fish, i do not think it was a carp. It reminded me of a white bullhead. Almost human or dolphin like features. It could have been one of those freshwater "dolphins"

one of my favorite bad movie quotes is a rap.

She-Devils On Wheels (1968): "'We don't owe nobody nothin,' and we don't make no deals; We're swingin' chicks on motors, we're man-eaters on wheels.' "

Mya called today. The movie daytripper was on. I am glad she thought my pecking order was funny.

I am consistantly amazed how fast an hour goes by with the Price is Right. Its the quickest way to kill an hour. Even if I am not paying attention. It is so fast paced, I just lose track of time. Today, the big winner actually bid on the first showcase, they almost always pass.

I was telling someone yesterday the status (totem pole and pecking) order in Cherry Grove

Top: owner
next: seasonal renters
next: monthly renters
next: weekly renters
next: weekend renters
next: guests of any of the above
next: hotel guests
last: day trippers.

In that vent I put the Beatles song of the same name on the mix CD for next week.
Today is my day off. Tonight i plan to go to C&T's to watch Bad taste. I had another typical sunday night long night. Went to sleep this am at 7:45 and got up at 1:45 not too bad. I feel rested, yet energetic to make coffee. This depsite having 3 rockstars in my fridge. That, thanks to the helpfulness of Ann at Speedway.

but I may go in to werk instedt.

This post 78% more dull than most.

New Neighbors
Well so far, no good , in the first impressions department. After a day of driving into my driveway and taking a right - into their front yard, a semi-tracter trailer does the same thing, completely blocling my driveway. I did actually go out, and changed my mind about saying anything until 5:30. Which is when I leave. I am certain, had they asked, I would not have had a problem with it, but with my truck where it was, I'd have moved it. Which is going to be my main point of argument. If it comes to that.

The driveway bs, started with the old man. Now I can forgive an old man not being able to deal with the traffic on Liberty. But he did not have to start a trend.

Needless to say, I doubt the truck was Gary's
The rental sign is down next door, so I doubt Chris got it. They're working on it, the old man and Gary. I assume its Gary I have not seen him, but there is a very old truck that screams body work underway, which is very Gary
I cannot get over how bad money has been this week. Its like night and day. But strangely, it seems to follow a biweekly pattern. I wonder if it follows the bi-weekly pattenr of other peoples paychecks. Thankfully I get paid during the "off week".

Ok here is the deal. Opie has been showing interest in me, and I have been playing the aloof older guy - ignoring him until its too late game, While floyd is falling in love at the drop of a hat par usual. This shite happens all the time between me and floyd. I am much slower, and every time Floyd moves in I drop them like a cold potato . I cannot explain why, but I can list numerous examples. Floyd has yet to have something beyond two weeks, but he seems to hit it before I make any moves. This time I am actually circling like no other. and I do not need ten times the competition by anyone helping the two week long goods damaging process along. Opie is actively seekng to rent the house next door to me. Oh and I think I pissed off Polly Prissy Pants

Money has been tight these past few days. I psent half of what I made saturday on gas. Sunday was all right. but I did not make my hundred any of the last 4 days. I have but $150 to show for it.
He called me a fucker in front of customers over what was a genuine misunderstanding. He knocked a glass, punched a wall, threw a plate, hit a fridge two times, then walked out. Very bizarre. Randy was there for whatever set Walt off, and neither of us could figure out what it was. My only guess is he did not want to work tonight. and was confused as to who was being comped at one of his tables. But the way he asked, I thougth he was looking for a very specific Tab, which had never been created. we were simply bringing blue moons and budlights to dan and jon jon.

Last night, I felt like an outsider. Not sure why. But I just had no interest in hanging out. I left witht he statement "I am through with all this foolishness, you're on your own folks". and left. MB thought it was pretty funny. I was not angry, I just did not want to stick around. I came home ate my Artichoke dip, tried to blog, but it was down. Hads more weird dreams. Of course I do nto remember them.

I had a mini movie marathon this weekend, yesterday; Francess, and today; Amadeus, Down from the Mountain, and Mildred Pierce. I was a bit dissapointed by F & DFTM. Both were fine, but I expected to like them better.
I had popped in to the restaurant today (friday), and saw Claude and his wife. Why do I never remember her name? He told me he has some condition that makes him lethargic and stuff, but definately wants to go forward with the music project. I explained I had a few other things going on, but needed to get my ah tuned and restrung. He has ideas for video projects and costumes. They bought me a beer. It was pleasant visiting with them. about an hour. They invited me over, but I explained I needed to be home.

Friday, September 19, 2003

Things are shaping up. I have been making my average daily amount once again. This week, it was almost exact. I think bartending tuesday is the key. MB was trying to leave tuesday and she asked me how I liked bartending, and I responded with "loving it" as though she asked me ho I likd the latest Chocolate mouse. This according to Walt.

my money problems have hit a new low. I came home monday to find my gas bill was unpaid for 3 mos. and such the gas was turned off. It was $100 owed, past due. I had to negotiate and stuff, got them to agree to bill me for the deposit, pay the $100 and get it turned on. This morning at 8:30 am, they ame to turn it on and relight my pilots and my furnace does not seem to want to work. The pilot light is on, but it is not flaming up. I am really not interested or able to deal with replacing my furnace, much less even having it serviced. Maybe heating companies will start having "check up specials" given we are nearing the heating season.

I did not get to visit as much with D&W as I would have liked to day. I did give my standard cous cous cous joke. I also found out that the reason D wanted to leave TTC so fast is she got some happy with the hippies at the concert.

Saturday, September 13, 2003

Ok I go to the concert last night after a vigorous day of shopping for new (?) clothes, and D wanted to leave after and hour. I think its because W could not get in. Not sure. they came in when the dropped me off I think. 'Cause I remember getting W a beer. Not sure what caused their departure. I thinka beer was spilled.

I went in to the Doo-wop to return some Cds, and to discuss the My Autoharp options. Somehow, some young new kid asked what an autoharp was, a more experienced guy half explained the chording mechanism, and the kid just started saying "so learning to play is kind of ignorant". I am not sure if the older guy asked the kid if he ever saw one, or some such thing. I find it very odd to think they just started talking about it. BUT, needless to say, I was a little put off. I did ask if they had a tuning wrench, but left it at that. I'll be buying mine online. I also did not buy the book they sold. I am debating if I should tell the store manager or owner.

I realize the instrument is much maligned by "serious musicians", so I should expect it. I may have to develop a thicker skin. I wonder if I should call Ron Harris.

Today Beff comes over and does some shining. Shez been away for a few weeks but I think she will be surprised. Today is my lucky day at work, but will have to deal with the potential firing of "Richard". Coach House will be in tonight. Hopefully Luck with be on his team. Last night was fun the crowd was very responsive to what I did. Some weeks its like no one is there at all. I think I just had my superfans in the building.

I still need to finish mhy coffee, shower and bank.

Blogs the new frontier of web publishing.
Finally did get some sleep, had weird dreams before I woke up. All hotdog cooking related. I was in sams, or some hot dog store that had the grill method like we ahd at the movie theater. I was explaing hot hot they needed to be. It was a bit like the lady I saw on saturday at sams hotdog stand. Not sure what it all means. I'll look up the dream dictionary.

its a 2 cup day.
as tired as I was this afternoon, and after nodding off during a video. Now I cannot sleep. Could I be too tired to sleep? Or is it simply I have not drank enough alcohol? That'd be a sad state.

Sunday, September 07, 2003

I finally get some days off an dall I want to do is sleep. I am about to take my adderall, but I know it will just put me to sleep. But I lack the motivation to do anything. I did watch a movie today, starwars2. It was all right, but I seemed to have gotten some of the characters confused.

ordered pizza. could noly eat one and a half pieces.

Digital Fairy :: The Night Before Queermas funny take on a visit from st nicholas
Am really getting into OTR. I am very tired this afternoon. I guess my 8 day run at work has me tired. I got enough rest. My house is like the Amityville Horror for the flies.
I was nicer to him as a rule. I am going to be giving him a break. But I cannot chase the bugchaser thoughts. It really bothers me that he may have done this on Purpose.

Friday, September 05, 2003

for newly positive people here is a site for him.
Preview for 13 kind of a scary parenting movie.
Damn it. All the signs are there. I am still very naive about new infections. Last night I was told a chronically ill, getting skinnier, friend of mine is not just HIV+ But has full blown AIDS. It frustrates me to know end. He blatently went home with people that were (+) and may possibly have been a bug chaser. Whether or not, he did it on purpose, I am still going to treat him the same.

I AM JUST SO MAD. I AM JUST SO SAD.

What a weird night. First no apparent increase in business. Next, every table I had was like high maintenance.

Opie asked me adivce for breaking off his 3 week old "relationship". privately I am like I hve unanswered phone messages older than that, but gave him some good advice, as long as an admission of how badly I'd handle it if it was me. He ended with "so I am single again".

I think Opie won the pool. C3P0 came in at 11:02 and gave the brush off to chucky. He was very f.ed/u. the kind where he wants to buss tables and stuff. However, Clara seemed go leave with all the bootie.

My yard is a wreck. Finally I have the excuse/need to get my lawn in order. I have always maintained the fiction that i did not "like" overly manicured lawns. But in reality I never had the motivation to do it before.

One good thing out of all this is my Gas meter is now outside and not in the basement. I'll have to camoflage it with a shrub or some ornamental grasses.

It took seemingly forever and not before a huge waft of natual gas was sucked into my house, but it seems to be complete.
Today I woke to the sound of backhoes digging up my front yard. Last wednesday, my yard and sidewalk were tore up by jack hammers and back hoes. They had to change out a gas valve near the street. Well it gets better, by Friday I smelled gas seeping up through the ground. I called saturday, and it being Labor Day weekend, had someone instantly dispatched to my house on an emergency basis *not*. They did get there and put in a work order. And not until today was a awakened to the melodious tunes of back hoes ripping apart my front lawn. I love the sound of the backhoes in the summertime.

It is being fixed today. Good thing I am not a smoker. The animals are going nuts witht he noise.

Real coffee today. Maybe a whole pot's worth. I hope this does not last too long, I need to go tot he bank.
20 Fingers Lick It (Unedited) lyrics Looked for this song forever.
I heard from Jose today. I emailed him on a whim. and did not expect such a prompt reply. Had to go in today early I agreed to work for Otis, and kind of forgot. Rush rush rush. I feel like I have been rushed every day this week. Actually, just saturday, monday and wednesday. But that is not good odds.

Wednesday, September 03, 2003

Going to read another Chapter of OTR today maybe more. In the mean time I am watching "What's Up Tiger Lilly?" the Woody Allen project form 1966. Hal from the movie theatre told me about it back in 1983, I rented it then and liked it. I decided to rent it again. I'd like to see the original Key of Keys - which provided the visuals for the movie.


I do not need to work until 6, and its raining cats and dogs. I made some Gevalia Coffee today. Why am I sometimes more willing to drive to Starbucks than make my own coffee? I own a coffee company for krisesake.
Its been a week since my last one night stand. I find myself still thinking about Jose. Here are some things I liked about him.

1) He saw the hula girl on my dashboard, and he said he had one on his van's dashboard.
2) When I warned him that I was a bad house keeper, he simply agreed.
3) IN bed, was an aggressive snuggler. By which I mean, as I moved around he adjusted, and never took a turn as a rejection. Which of course they were not.
4) he lay there afterward, even in the morning
5) he was concerned about TC's Lumps.

re the Hula Girl. When I was enroute to Wal*Mart to get some patio tables for the restaurant, I was stuck behind a mini-van playing school bus at the railroad tracks. He did all but open the door. But as I was getting irritated I noticed a hula girl on his dashboard, and I gave him a break. Weird ho such a simple toy completely calmed my "road Rage". Maybe if we were all to get dashboard hula girls Road Rage would end.

In ch 10 of "on the road" The main character, Sal Paradise, mentions Green Hills of Africa and calls it Hemingway's best. I want to check into that.

I am still wondering what the surprise is on the new Mother Jane CD.
of the idea I have come up with are ; in no particular order.
1) Hand In Pocket on the CD as a Cover tune
this will surprise me, since They seem to try and do original works all the time.
2) A song with me in it some how.
It could happen, but am not sure how I fit in their song writing style
3) Liner notes to me.
This has happened in the previous 2, so I would not understand why I will be "so excited", ot she "cannot wait" until I hear the new CD
I got called in yesterday. Despite agreeing to go in on my day off to cover Louise/droopy, which was of my own doing, Chas called in sick and I went in at 4-ish.

Today is a rock star energy drink day, AND my ChromaHarp came today. It is horribly out of tune, and needs a string. I'll bring it in to Doo Wop this week.

I found out what the pig noise was in my loving room. I am so paranoid about the cat bringing in live animals, I thought there was a hedge hog behind the couch. But no, it was the just the oscillating fan :-)

HERE IS the hot dog cart link that got e started on thinking my chili empire

I am 2 songs short from my Hit List CD. neither of which I had heard of. I'll burn the copy on my vinyl cd.

Monday, September 01, 2003

This afternoon, in between bouts of getting my room in shape, I am obsessivley downloading songs to remake my Vinyl LP K-Tel's Hit Machine. I have the Album on my lap, and each song downloaded is like a little victory. I am having trouble finding Frankie Valli's "Our Day Will Come", and Rick Springfield's "Take a Hand"
Its a holiday, and my morning TV sched. is shot to hell. Tennis on CBS? Jerry Lewis on ABC?
I just wonder if I am going to get myt andy griffith? I have rockstars to drink today, so probably will not make coffee. I ended up watching Andy on DVD. I have found my day is kind of cranky without a little trip to Mayberry.

Sunday, August 31, 2003

I am starting to enjoy reading On the road. It got wet, so it will look well thumbed when I get through with it. Am kind of irritated with ray for his little play yesterday. I had to go in an Hour early as though I messed up the schedule, when he changed it without really making it clear what he was doing. I would have gone in early had I been asked, but they way it played out, just makes me a bit bitter. But I do understand the mind of a child.

Had good coffee with brunch today. Sometimes I do like restaurant coffee. PPP did not go in to work today. Something about hooking up with someone. I wonder if it had anything to do with me. I kind of sense something between us, and he did learn of my 1Ner form tuesday, just last night.

Saturday, August 30, 2003

Its Floyd's birthday tomorrow. He makes such a big deal about birthdays. I think I will have to put something together for him.
I was going to leave last night early, but finished a beer with B&A. Then I saw some regualrs walk by 2 by 2, and went in to talk with them, I had 2 more beers and ended up leaving at 12:30 instead of 10:30. I guess thats why I slept until 1:15 today. My coffee is tasting good today. I think when I use the single cup feature it is more to my liking. It can make 2 cups at a time, but it makes it too strong.

Friday, August 29, 2003

Still thinking about the great one night stand I had this week. I had began to think I was a non-sexual being. Its good to know that its not the sex that was non, it was just bad sex was non.
