There really is nothing like sleeping in your own bed after being away from it for days. The phrase "sleeping like a log" doesn't begin to describe the depths of sound sleep I acheived last night. I suppose driving all day helped, but still. Home sweet home.

The trip was fun. My step-nieces, aged 2 years and 5 weeks, were totally cute. EnergyChannel got to...

We leave in a little bit for Eureka. This cold has more or less kicked my ass, and I've stayed home the last two days, blowing my nose and sneezing because I'm blowing my nose too much. My eyes keep watering and I generally look like shit, just in time for Christmas photos with the family! All in all, though, it could be worse. EnergyChannel...

Oh yes, body of mine. This is definitely a good time to come down with a cold. Definitely.

Nevermind that I'm leaving for Eureka on Thursday. You just go right on feeling like crap, it'll make the 8-hour drive just fly right on by.

If I keep you home from work today, feed you tea and Airborne and water, and maybe even some food, will...

Wow, it is LOUD out there. Nature isn't taking any shit from humanity tonight. So many corpses of trees on the road, it smelled like Christmas all the way down the hill. Mmmm, Christmas.

Greetings from the middle of my laid-back weekend. The day started off well with pilates class, where I'm getting better and sucking in that pelvic floor. A lot of plank equals sore wrists at the moment. I almost need two different mats, one for yoga and a thicker one for pilates. That's a bit ridiculous though, considering I only do each one once a week....

Happy Thanksgiving, American friends! Happy November 23, non-American friends!

This year was more like Thanksgiving lunch, as we were accomodating the horrific work schedules of my brother and his girlfriend, who both work at a restaurant, and thus had a very busy day ahead of them. So, by 2:00, "dinner" was over, and everyone was feeling fat and happy. I did my usual apple pie,...

So, who wants to babysit for us so that we can go see Eric Johnson (of the Fruit Bats) play at Disjecta tonight?




Okay, well, go to Disjecta then and support good music. We'll be here, on the couch, probably watching the Discovery Channel.

Speaking of the tele, Comcast has an offer we couldn't refuse, an offer that restores us to 71 channels of pure...

I've been wanting to update the 'ol journal for a few days now, but I've been too braindead to make it sound any more sophisticated than a first-grader learning to string sentences together. Seriously, I started yesterday and it read something like "We went to a show on Monday. The Figurines were playing. They were great." Yes, truly scintillating. Well, we did in fact go...

So yes, I'm back. Thank you to all who welcomed me back. It's good to be here, away from Myspace and those horrible flash ads that say "hellooooo" to you when you don't realize that you have the volume turned all the way up and scare the shit out of you early in the morning. But I digress.

Let me see, what has happened in...

Boy, they really make that "rejoin for $29 for a whole year" deal hard to pass up, don't they?

Let's go see how many of you dropped my (until recently) grey ass from your friends list.

Membership cancelled. SG just doesn't interest me that much anymore. Plus it's one more unnecesary expense eliminated. I'll see most of you off the site anyway.

I'm outie 5000. Imagine that spoken in the laconic Dando drawl.
