Bad Joke

• Thursday, January 27th, 2005 • No Comments

There was this woman who had a really bad day, so she decided to go to the top of the Empire State Building and have a drink at the bar. She gets there, and the bar is nearly empty aside from one other man at the bar, and the bartender. She sits down next to [...]


ſtaires!

Bah. I’m tired.

Update (1 Hour Later): Holy fucking shit, I’m crawling out of my skin. After working for six days straight and then faced with the prospect of having three whole days off of nothing to do, my brain has recoiled in horror. I’m pacing. There are no movies to go see. I feel wholly [...]


Lost Interpretation

• Tuesday, January 25th, 2005 • No Comments

Something horrible happened to me, yesterday, but I don’t feel like talking about it anymore, though I may mention it in abstract at some point in this post, because I’ve got a feeling I’m going to ramble, but even then what you read may not even be about the something horrible, and instead be about [...]


Hello, My Name Is Pathetic

• Sunday, January 23rd, 2005 • No Comments

I was reading some more of House of Leaves today at work, which is extremely interesting while also being absolutely headache inducing, while also being a good conversation topic because people come over and say, “What the hell are you reading?

For some reason Spam Karma was catching non-spammers [...]


Harbor Island

Well that settles that, I moving my ass to North Park if it kills me. That area is so awesome, I have no idea why I haven’t explored it before. Some how, in the next year, I will live within the throbbing, pulsating, bloody heart of San Diego, or I will surely perish.

I drove out [...]


The Spree in LA

I got my tickets for the Polyphonic Spree show in LA at the Henry Fonda Theatre thanks to a little pre-sale. I think you should go, too.


Speechless

• Thursday, January 20th, 2005 • 2 Comments

I’ve realized, slowly, that I don’t really enjoy talking to people who are working to serve me, especially on my days off, even more so when I’m alone. I went to Olive Garden for lunch, and instead of my usual raising of my one finger and saying, “Just one,” I scrawled down a note on [...]
