I keep seeing that guy Criss Angel everywhere, and reading about how he's trying to hook up with Cameron Diaz or Lindsay Lohan or whoever. Ugh. I hate magicians. Copperfield, Blaine, Angel, Doug Henning, Penn & Teller... fucking dorks. Sure, they pull off some pretty cool feats, and some can be funny (Penn & Teller), but I just can't stand them. No, I've never been...

i have to agree with you on that. Wow I froze myself in a block of ice for 2 days... Who gives a shit.

the boss at the place i was managing at was nothin' but a drunken fool, not backing me in disciplinarian issues. so i found another gig.
I just got the new Ikea catalog. It's usually a minor event in my household, especially now that I'm only about a half-hour away from New Haven, home of one of the stores.
Is it me or does this year's version of the catalog suck? I'm not a huge fan of their stuff -- some of it is pretty flimsy and garish -- but I...

i am so not looking forward to cracking mine open now that you've warned me of this. and this while i type from an IKEA desk....muah ha ha....
sauda:
That is very insightful. I've not seen the new IKEA mag just yet. I do, however, love to run through the store pretending I have the money for everything I want.
Goddamn! I just picked up Ghostface Killah's CD "Fishscale," and the shit is ON FIRE! Awesome album! I can barely work it's so good. For those who don't know, GK is part of the Wu-Tang. Wow, this is some serious shit.

Did you ever see Best in Show, the Christopher Guest movie about dog shows? There's a great scene in it about catalogs. Hope you're doing well!
My girlfriend is all kinds of house-obsessed. Can't wait to buy one, but she's only willing to live in a couple of way-too-expensive towns, so things aren't moving too quickly. That, and the fact that I'm not in a position financially, or professionally just yet, to go house hunting. So, this has manifested itself into her watching massive amounts of HGTV and all those house-flipping/decorating...

mmmmm...cluck, cluck, cluck. my ex became HGTV obsessed, and it became one of the dealbreakers for us. i couldn't stand All Home TV, All The Time.....

Haha, I was just about to leave the same comment that Joe left you.
Back home from Vegas. Didn't gamble once. Not one time, which is what I set out to do. I didn't want to lose any money, and by god, I didn't.
The convention I attended was great, but I really can't stand that city. Only another work-related event would ever get me back there.
Week from hell coming up. Ugh.

Exactly what you said re: the the democratic top choices. I don't hate HIL... and she has worked hard. I do believe she is more conservative, more ready to cave to existing structures... I do believe our best hope lies in Barack's readiness to communicate and defy those who would call him naive for doing so!
hope hell week is almost over

so you voting for hillbilly and o' (henry) banana?
Greetings from Las Vegas! I'm here for an industry trade convention that my company is sponsoring... LOVE the convention, HATE Vegas. Too hot, too many people, too many ways to syphon money out of your pocket... yikes!
Just the 4-5 block walk from my hotel to where the conference is being held is like walking through a blast furnace. And, my body's still all messed...

I love Vegas. Go see Spamalot you prick, you'll laugh your ass off. I've seen it twice on B'Way.

I don't know what's been causing this, but I've been forgetting everything lately. Everything. Errands I need to run, stories I need to write, places I've been, people I need to track down, words I'm supposed to include in sentences, things I've seen/witnessed, invoices I need to submit, being on time, questions I need to ask subjects during interviews, bills I need to pay, arrangements...

I forget shit all the time if I don't write it down, I always have a few lists going at the same time, lol
Right now, I'm sitting in a room in a Quality Inn outside of Hartford. It's Tuesday, but I keep thinking it's Monday, and the weather's been scorching. Loving the new job but it's a strange schedule being away from home Tues., Wednes. and Thurs., and it'll stay that way for about 3 months. Oh well.

You are too kind! Thank you for the birthday wishes. I hope you're enjoying your new job, even though it sounds lonely sitting in a hotel room.
I'm looking at your halloween pictures and they're making me giggle.
Let me know if there's anything good going on in CT. Our plans changed, so I don't know when I'll be heading up there. Also thanks for the advice on the article, I think I did pretty well
Hope you have a wonderful day.

I'm in sort of spend-money-mood these days. I picked up some shorts and a jacket from Abercrombie thought I really didn't need either. I really want to grab an 8GB iPod Nano, but my wallet's telling me "don't you fucking do it..." but I just might nonetheless.

long time no blog for you, how goes it?
Shit, I gotta mail in my mortgage payment and pay some bills!
In other news, I'm taking on a new job... a full-time gig that might prove to be a lot of fun (or it might damn near kill me, lol). I'll probably officially start on the 18th or so. I'd go into more detail but, honestly, I'm going to be kind of making it...

Any of you listen to Internet radio through iTunes? I don't too often, but I found a station I like, "Indie Pop Rocks! on SomaFM. I haven't listened to all of them, or even that many of them, but I like this one. Indie, alternative, college radio, etc. Pretty cool stuff.

You're so right. You'd think someone like A-Rod would be like "hey, I'm famous, let me not cheat on my wife in public". Go figure.

I agree on the A-Rod issue but that is not the point of this here comment.
I thought that you might find this funny/ironic
Last week a friend of mine asked me to edit a story he is trying to pitch to some online blog thing. All I could think when he asked me to look it over was that if he was asking me to edit something then he is in seriously bad shape.

Another week, another... eh. Nothing special. I've got assignments out the wazoo and what feels like no time to do them. I even forgot that Memorial Day is in a week. WTF? Where has this year gone?
