Funniest Story in some time:
As I'm old and work too much, I tend to live vicariously through my 22 year old e-head assistant. The following story happened to him yesterday and is very funny. The following information is necessary: he is a 22 year old very good looking hispanic male, and is the single most charming person I have ever met (which is why...

Sitting there tonight all I could think was that David Bowie was right when he said:
The depressing realization in this age of dumbing down is that the questions have moved from "Was Nietzsche right about God?" to "How big was his dick?"
I need a change of pace. I need to be creative again.
It's Monday and my mood is not much improved. In...

well thank you Lawyer boy. as per the husky voice, you'd have to catch me post screaming at a rock n' roll show all night and smoking one too many I-dont-smoke-cigarrettes.
cat:
yes, I absolutely agree-one should not smoke. and I don't. not really. only when there's a drink in my hand.

Today is dedicated to Echo and the Bunnymen and the Jesus and Mary Chain. What are you listening to?
One of my partners' wife had a baby last night so I will be working even more in the next three to four weeks. Not too sure that is possible, but we'll see. Today I am not going to work very hard at all.

What? What? It's not like all I do is sit on SG and write to people! Sometimes I go away from the computer for a while. Goof.

There is only one person in my office whom I wouldn't mind getting some closet time with. Too bad he's married...
Have fun with all that.

Thanks for the input re my sister and her wedding/new car. Consensus is that she's a bad person but that I gave her the money, so I have to live with it. And not be a sucker the next time (which I will fail to do and will cave).

Gloucester, VA was a wonderful place to spend two days and, hopefully, never return. After 4 hours of I-Pod filled air port delay, I'm home. HOPEFULLY for the rest of the week but I may be flying out again Thursday night.

First of all, Rise is one of the best songs. Ever.
Now that that's said. Money + family always equals some kind of weirdness. I can't offer much in the way of advice - I just paid an inordinate amount of money to keep my sister from getting evicted from her apartment (she hadn't paid her rent in over 3 months), which I would never have done for anyone else. Maybe you should just try to take solace in the fact that you did an incredibly nice thing. Or, failing that, you could just liberate her new Audi. I hear those are nice cars.

It's been a Cure Tuesday all day here, although now I have Rise by PiL on repeat. What are you listening to??
I have to fly back to Virginia tonight, Gloucester this time. Thank God for free drinks on the plane...I'll be there for the next three days if anyone needs a drinking buddy.
What good shows are in Chicago this weekend??

The 4 day festival of debauchery is past. Limo drivers, bar tenders and hotel concierges across Chicago can rest easier.
Alas, I had to get a 7:45 flight to Norfolk, VA tonight. I hope to only be here for 24 hours, but will be passed out for all of it.

Also, I forgot to ask you if you want your CD signed. If not, it simply comes wrapped in cellophane.

It is 1986 all day in my office, I can't stress strongly enough how great "Left of the Dial: Dispatches fro 80s Underground" is. They call it "songs that matter from the decade that didn't, and it kicks all kinds of ass.

I am spending the night uploading the ridiculous number of CDs I bought today and resting my liver. I believe I am going to be drunk for a week starting Thursday night.

Not much going on in Itburns world today. Work, work, work. Did buy far too many CDs at Virgin Store, but that's another story.
Nothing exciting in my life but tomorrow night at the Highrisk Gallery on 1113 W. Belmont claremarie has a gallery show from 7-9. Look under her profile, she has some great stuff. Check it out if you're in Chicago.

Lemme put it this way (and please note that this is being said not in a mean way but in a claremarie way
): before I was dating my boyfriend, he came to my house under the pretense that he was "interested in my paintings" and might be in the market to buy one. I mentioned that two of them weren't for sale--Crimson Orb and Goldfish (the first one). He thought about this for a moment and said "What if someone offered you $6000 for one for them?"
I will end that story here.
Looking forward to meeting you and all your friends tomorrow.
ps: did you used to have a different alias? 'Cause I feel like I recognize your avatar.

In the end he got a pretty good deal. Now we live together and the painting is up in our bedroom.
That's odd about your avatar, then...I doubt anyone else has it, and I wouldn't have seen it on Shicawgo's page since she has so many friends. Maybe in the hookup section, now that they're doing that thing where local people pop up randomly?

3:30am to a wet dream and had to adjust myself. Slept til 10am and then got ready for the day. Now I'm at the spa. Had a couple clients, have one more tonight at 6:30, and then I'm off to dinner and movie. In the mean time my coworker is going to stick some needles in my arm (sore) while we watch the end of Riddick on my laptop. xoxox
But yes, I love accupuncture.
Am thinking about going for my Masters in Chinese Medicine in the fall.
I'm told my next client is really hot. We shall see.
I kinda wish I was done for the day.
A bit bored.
