Had an interview today, with my friends Justin and Ben. Their company has been looking to hire on some more people, and Justin’s been excited (as have I) of the prospect of us working together. The three of us met, talked a bit about the specifics, and got a bit geeky. I forgot the name…
Something of the pessimist in me always assumes the worst from people. My writing doesn’t reflect this (I’ve looked over my poems, and I feel that many of them look to the positive qualities of others). But still, I walk around as though I expect people to be on their worst behavior. As I was…
Even when it’s in Spanish, you can tell when someone is nagging another person. It’s not about language or translation, it’s about tone of voice.
Woke up early, which is good. At least my schedule isn’t degenerating, turning me back into a nocturnal creature again. Way back when, I used to be able to work all through the night – writing, reading, studying. I seemed to do better after the sun went down. If I can stick to this early…
Ah me. Today was another waste. I think the lack of structure is adding to my uneasiness. Tonight was fun – I played around, and goofed off. But during the day? Nothing accomplished. I think I need some outside force to either act with or react against. Without it, actions have no context. Goofing off…
Back when I was visiting Columbus, Juliet and I spent a part of a lazy Sunday trying to find the recipe for Hasenpfeffer. We are both big fans of the old Loony Toons / Bugs Bunny era of cartoons, and tried to track down a recipe for this supposed "meal." Well, today, she PM’s me…
Settling into the day. Made a big pot of strong ass coffee (ask my old coworkers about how strong I like the stuff), and am looking forward to a day in front of the box. We’ll see what today holds. Hopefully, I’ll get a bit of work done. No more of this wallowing crap. Wallowing:…
Alright. Sorry for that rant yesterday. Apparently, not a good day for me, overall. I’ll be damned if my unemployed days are going to be like yesterday. Shaking it off today. UT not fun? What the hell? Did those words actually come out of my mouth?
I did nothing positive. I did nothing constructive. At best, I did a load of laundry. At best. Last night, I got on a weird sleep schedule. Conked out early, and woke up around 3 AM. Now answer me this – why is it that they save a gem of a movie like Spies Like…
Mr. Grumpy sent me a tape of the fight between Arturo Gatti vs. Micky Ward. Holy crap. I’m not someone who’s into boxing, but this fight was in-friggin-credible. I mean – the punishment both of these guys took was amazing. And on top of that, they surmounted it and continued fighting. Ah. I’m not doing…
Inspired by an installation piece I saw back in Columbus, by Julie Taymor. A bright, shiny penny to anyone who figures out what it is.
Doing my bills this morning, and balancing the accounts. I’ve paid dearly for neglecting to keep on top of finances, and this morning was set aside to do just that. FUCKING hate it, but it’s got to be done. I always get so stressed out over money stuff. As I’m reviewing my credit card statement,…
At the end of August, I think it’ll officially be a year since I’ve had sex.
Yesterday, I was watching the news and a piece about prostitution comes on. As I’m watching, I realize that the live report is coming from North and Hermitage, about a block or two away from where I live. I recognize buildings in the background, behind the newswoman. I was fairly oblivious to the fact that…
juliet: okay, i want to confess a small but odd thing to you Portnoy: I’m here – shoot juliet: okay, you know how you reproduce some IM conversations you have into your blog? Portnoy: yes? juliet: well, i’m always sort of conscious of that, and if i fail to see a portion of one of…
