R.I.P., John. You will always be the best DJ in the world.

you know, this does affect your indie cred. i don't think you're a fan of music to be honest. hehe just kidding. it's not like american press would cover a thing like that anyways.

Every day, I ride the shuttle bus to and from work. Every day, I'm sitting amongst undergrad, grad and law school students, mainly women. And every day, I listen in wonder to how some of them speak. There is one law student in particular who is the quintessential "like" girl, what passes for the next wave of Valley Girl talk these days.

Now, I'm not...

Easy solution. Discretely record them and make them listen to themselves a couple days later. If they can rub enough brain cells together to convince Mommy and Daddy they want degrees, they can figure out that they sound like dipshits.

Then again, I do still have faith in mankind. I could be wrong.

The following was emailed to me from one of my former bosses. This was written by a member of her husbands family. I know that youve all heard these kind of stories before, but this one struck me because it happened not in a big city like Portland or Seattle, but in a small town in southern Oregon.

Yes, I know that it's long. Don't...

You know what makes me happy? Free stuff. At our staff meeting today, we had a representative from OfficeMax whose mission was to woo us away from Office Depot. She took a step in the right direction with goody bags full of cool pens and paper and tape and shit. I'm a sucker for free stuff. love

Nevermind that it's a bit sad to be that...

HAHAHA they wooed you with paper and tape. When they do that you need to look around and ask where the fucking chocolate is.

Then you say, Office Depot gives us chocolate.. and then cross your arms and look away.

That's how you get the good shit. wink

I'm so spoiled at work.. I ask for the most weird and obscure shit for my desk.. and it just kinda shows up. I had a total rock star moment the other day when I brazzingly announced that I only wanted BLACK thumb tacks at my desk.

I hope ya'all had a good time. /diseaased freak

Last night, I spent four hours watching a movie about The Temptations on VH1. Four hours of my life that I'll never get back.

It was an emotional rollercoaster, the life of The Temptations. I had no idea how much tragedy and how many members they went through. Nor did I know they sang "Papa was a Rolling Stone." confused

My favorite is still "Ain't Too...

Billie Dee loves him some Millenium Falcon and Colt 45.

You should do a web search for Star Wars the College Years.. funny little flash animation (warning: juvenile humor).

Monday once again. That sure went by quickly.

It seems like the more sleep I get, the more I need. This is yet another sign that I'm getting old. Used to be I could stay up until 1 or 2 most nights and still function reasonably well the next day. Last night, I went to sleep at 12:30, and it was like pulling teeth to...

The weekend is finally here. biggrin

I must admit, I enjoy looking forward to weekends again, after being unemployed for a few months and the days just blended together. This makes weekends special again.

We're attending a belated birthday party in my and EnergyChannel's honor, thrown by a friend who was born to organize fun parties. She's a big fan of themes, so this one...

I dreamed I died last night.

It was one of those vivid, intense dreams that seem more like a movie but still feel like they are really happening to you. I don't remember how I died, in fact, the dream began with me already dead. I just remember that realization that I was dead. I knew I was, because I could suddenly float above the...

I'm tired of being sick. I'm tired of being in the house. I'm tired of worrying about money. I'm tired of being antisocial because of no money and being sick.

Damn it, broke or not, sick or not, I will do something social this week. mad

I have the coolest supervisor and coworker in the world, methinks. Yesterday, when I was busy dying at work, my coworker said to take the rest of the day off if I needed to. I took her up on it at about 3:00 and when I told her I was going home, this look of relief spread across her face and she said, "Good, you...you...

So now that I'm working again, I'm actually leaving the house and conversing with other people. This, of course, has resulted in me getting sick. Damn people and their damn germs.

Last night, I developed one of the sorest throats I can remember. It felt like I'd swallowed a lump of hot coal. Congested AND inflamed. Whee!

Good thing I have zero sick days so...

I was bored at work yesterday in the afternoon lull, so I decided to take one of those mini-IQ tests they advertise on the NY Times page. Not that IQ is a reliable measure of much, but I got a 133, which made me feel like a total smartypants for an hour or so.

Now I wonder how I would do on a real IQ...
