Fever too high to concentrate. Can't read. Can't watch a movie. Can sleep until the sweats start. Today's activities: sitting around whimpering.

Two divergent streams of complaint, one a prolonged whine about having just come down with a cold the motherfuckin' flu while staring down yet another weekend at Ye Olde Corporate Bookestore, the other a general lamentation of my station in life, addressing the usual matters--dignity, money, fear--when posted here in this single place, produced a great popping and fizzing during which antimatter (among other, less...

its times like this, i remember what my dear ol' dad used to say.

"WHAT THE HELL YOU DOING IN THE BATHROOM DAY AND NIGHT? WHY DONT YOU GET OUT OF THERE, GIVE SOMEONE ELSE A CHANCE?"

Every group of friends has one, and only one, "beard guy".

Sure, there can and probably are other guys in the circle with itinerant facial hair; maybe a soul patch here, a goatee there, here a lambchop, there a 'stache (ironic, of course), but the beard, the ear-to-ear no-holds-barred "how long have you had it?" you can set your watch to it beard is...

Heyo. I sent you a SGNHS thingy a while back. Haven't heard back. Is it still through the works? Just give it to me straight. It's because I'm black isn't it?
pav:
That's a relief. I'd be skeptical of any club that would have me as a member.

11-2 on Sunday morn is a little stretch of the bookstore workweek I call the "loser gauntlet". If at any point in the week I'm going to have to deal with cases of prolonged juvescence or wooden incomprehension, whether in the face of the hardly byzantine 3-point return policy (14 days, with receipt, just like we sold it to you), or my store's failure to...

I was following you for most of that until ...

Marriage? Beard? Seemingly unrelated, but somehow I feel you have the connection.
mk700c:
Actually, the bearded one is "married" to the young victim of my biting-crotch-grab maneuver in the following picture.

So, I don't think they're going anywhere.

and by "married" I mean in the Dogslife and Ginny sense.

On one hand, when your work is passed over in favour of something clearly inferior to it you can console yourself by reasoning that what you were offering just wasn't what they were looking for at all. On the other hand, you can stew over the fucking $500 prize that'll go to some sap with a tin ear and a waterballoon for a heart.

It's...

Well, did your poem use the word gossamer?

I didn't think so.
lizfitts:
Oh geez. Poetry is irrelevant now anyway. Pick up your guitar, man! Freestyle sumthin!

(Btw, maybe you can tell me why every academic prose/poetry I've seen in the past ten years has to do with memories of one's dead/dying mother/father....at a lake?)

Sometimes being the most astute judge of character around means having to be quiet and patient, two things few of us are truly comfortable being, while waiting for Mr/Ms Fabulous to let everyone down.

This doesn't have anything to do with anything in particular. It's just an observation I've been meaning to make at a time when I found the world lacking in tedious journal...

I read about it in Saveur Magazine, and knew I had to go. I make the best gingerbread cake in the world, because I put Guinness in it. I have a hearty respect for people who cook with beer.

Oh, and wise decision on the latest admission, by the way. Regardless of the vote, I'd probably have made the same decision had I known who it was.
acidgrampa:
Good job on the admission, btw.

A dream I had last night.

Roughly it divides into 2 parts.

Part I: Darth Vader
I'm supposed to be entertaining some kids in a schoolyard, so naturally I'm dressed up like Darth Vader. Only my costume sucks. It's essentially a black leotard with panels and a belt attached to make me look like a ballet dancer who ripped off Darth Vader, including his gloves...

Keep your roses and chocolates. Stuff your sonnets and satin sheets. I know what love is.

Today I came off the painkillers, which meant I was codeine-free for the first time in 2 days. I had some backlog to deal with.

The toilet, friends, she didn't stand a chance. Chester and Laura (they were just too big not to name, though I fear they...

Panty Ravaging Tonic, thank you.

I'm relieved to hear you're in tiptop shape and also pleased for this other dog that I wasnt even aware existed. Though, damn you for making the obvious comparison to that Burt Reynolds impression you call a chest, to the four-legged provider of your internet name.

Damn you to the most enjoyable hell imaginable.


Oh, and in regards to your latestjournal entry HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA.

In regards to the thought your fine woman in yoga pants with that thong peaking over the piping, thing

In an hour I get to take another Tylenol-2 (it's got codeine, just not such a wallopping dose of it as its cousin, the better-known and highly prized Tylenol-3).

Everything went fine. I no longer have a hernia. Please update your bookmarks accordingly.

Thanks to all who wished me well, and to those who wished me ill, I'll get you, and your little dog too.

Hey! You're up & about! Hurray for hernia surgery!

Yeah, I'm actually really envious of the dog yarn lady - she seems so grounded....

Last night Ginny and I shared a very intimate moment in which I popped the hernia out on her cue.

Surgery's on Thursday, so I've got to get my kicks while I can.

Also, purely for my own edification:

You know what's better than me whining?

Puppies.

Discount prescription drugs.

Shit on wholewheat.

Music. (I recommend the Rumis, though the last track is pretty good too. Be good kids: "Save Link Target As...")

Actually, it's a strategy game.

I think we should form an impromptu band, call ourselves My Mom and the Chinese (you would retain all rights to the name if we wind up like Sting and Stu), and make brilliantly unlistenable music.
