Sometime early in the week, Grumpy and TS7 changed names and tried playing UT (pretending to be the other). Tonight, everyone changed names and became a variation of Thrillho, which was pretty damn fun. I had no idea who was who, and I still don’t know. So nerdy… it hurts.
Something happened today that jogged my memory. I recalled a thought that I had, a while back… that you define your friends based on trust: specifically, the ingestion of certain foodstuffs. Imagine a complete stranger, walking up to you on the street. They had you a styrofoam cup filled with a strange-looking liquid. They tell…
A few days back, Justin and I were going to carpool in to work – partly because we knew it would be a late night, and partly because we wanted to get in early to work. I missed a bunch of his calls, and he ended up leaving a few messages on my machine (which…
by Denis Johnson The Vine was like a railroad club car that had somehow run itself off the tracks into a swamp of time where it awaited the blows of the wrecking ball. And the blows really were coming. Because of Urban Renewal, they were tearing up and throwing away the whole downtown. And here…
I’ve been meaning to put a few quotations from Jesus’ Son, a collection of short stories by Denis Johnson. There was a movie made a few years back – I saw it maybe a year or two ago, but fell asleep after about 30 minutes. I’m always wary of movie adaptations, especially when one movie…
This is something pretty damn incredible. :D
About a week ago, as I was trying to get to bed early… I stopped in front of the poems that I taped up on the walls. I spent a good 10 minutes looking over old writing and reading things out loud. Partly to remember what I wrote, but partly to hear my own voice….
It’s about 8:30 PM. I’ve been falling asleep at the computer here, for the past 30 minutes. I’m on beer #2, and I’d like to get a game or two of UT in before I pass out. We had a good meeting day today, and I feel like we all covered a lot of ground….
I got home to find Michael still in my apartment, setting up a fan for the living room. Rock! To top it off, he installed a dimmer switch. Woohoo! Though he couldn’t determine a good reason for the coldness in the apartment, he felt that fans (in the living room and kitchen) might help to…
I start updating the blog. I realize I drank my last beer last night. I realize I have to be up early, and arrive at work by 7:30 AM. I look to my cat for sympathy, but she just yawns and starts cleaning herself. Lousy, ungrateful cat. I turn off the computer and walk to…
I get back home.
Justin and I walk back to the Merchandise Mart, and get a cab.
I curse God.
I realize I left my lights on and the battery is completely dead.
Justin and I leave Q101, and head towards my car.
