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.

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.

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.
