I am in my office for the first time in 5 weeks, and I believe I will be here the rest of the week. Amazing. I'm already bored with paper work and reading an avalanche of unread mail. So: Jimmy John's and SG.

Have 16 tickets to the firm box for the Bulls-Heat game Friday. The Bulls suck but seeing Shaq will be worth it....

esme:
It was in my last journal entry, and pretty everyone I had hoped would consider coming had already posted, so I figured it was time for an update.

Anaphora is basically (I hate defining things; I'm always afraid I'll be inaccurate) using the same word or phrase over and over for literary or rhythmic effect.

Jimmy John's and SG does sound like a v. good combo. smile

I just recieved my schedule for the week and can't believe my eyes: no travel!! Can it be true?? I'm not going to believe it until Friday is over.

Office X-Mas party Saturday, need to buy present for my secretary and my assistant. Assistant is easy: he's a 24 yr old e-head who likes to party. Secretary is a 50ish woman with grown kids and...

Thanksgiving was not as bad as I thought it would be. If I blurred my vision and drowned out his voice, I could pretend my sister's husband wasn't really there. Food and wine were great and I got home friday morning.

My parents stopped in Chicago today on their way home for shoppping. This wasn't too bad: rain kept crowds down a bit on Michigan...

"see.. and the more weight you lose.. the more chances you will find some hot babe to impregnate with your first born son."


I don't think there was a big baby boom 9 months after Auschwitz was liberated....I'm just saying.... If you lost ten pounds then that just means your woman isn't cookin enough for you. Or you need to eat more than peas... smile


And to answer your questions...(Thanks for the unexpected compliment, by the way.)

1) Why do you need 21 ways to pretend not to be you?

I like to be here but not here....I like to maintain a relatively high level of anonymity seeing as how it's a porn site and all smile And I always try to remember that none of this is real...it's easy to get wrapped up in someone's personality here and think that something could be real. But it can't. It rarely is, at least.

2) What/where are you studying in our fine city?

Marketing and Advertising. I've been in school forever trying to figure out where I belong. I figured it out, but that's a whole other story. smile I wish I could get paid $75k a year to be an arts and crafts teacher. This is tHe closest compromise.


3) "Sticky as lips and licky as tricks": does this mean it's a gorgeous sight to see you eat in the middle of the night?

Yes counselor, that is correct.

4) What, pray tell, is the Truffle Shuffle??

Wouldn't you like to know! Well I suppose you would seeing as how you've already asked...it's from The Goonies. It's a dance that Mouth makes Chunk do.

If you really are a "sucker for needy selfcentered men with levels of self esteem bordering on delusional. I listen too much. That's the thing. I listen and they just never shut the fuck up," try dating a trial lawyer.

Uh, okay. smile all this time I thought Doctors and tattoo artists were the key target.... If I dated a lawyer I'd want to help too much. I'm sure that would piss him off. Then I'd solve his cases all Columbo style and never get the credit and I'd secretly resent him for it.....Nah, JUSTICE is credit enough.....cheese, anyone?

smile

Have to go to Fon du Lac Wisconsin for Thanksgiving Wednesday night. If all goes to plan I'll be getting out of there no later than Friday morning. I will use all of my mental energy to make sure I don't strangle my sister for moving there.

Went boozing until 3:00 AM last night and took a "nap" after work from 7:00-11:00 tonight. It's now...

I see light at the end of the Philly tunnel, I just don't know if it's an escape or a train preparing to run me over! Regardless I think I'll be done by Friday or Monday at the latest.


Either way I'm getting d-runk in Chicago this weekend. Anyone wishing to join in the festivities, let me know.

i'm not old enough to buy myself products of that nature. Pretty disspointing, i wish somebody would though. I've been missing that feeling. frown Thanks for the comment btw.

Although Ogre and Cevin are creative geniuses, I don't really wanna sleep with either of them.
The stupid Seinfeld term papers are about the show's utter lack of morality, and I've been procrastinating on them, trying to think of what George Costanza would do to get out of it.
Thanks for the animal sacrifices. I'm not doing much besides spontaneously combusting some squirrels.

This trial will never end, I now accept this. I am destined to live out my days in room 616 of the Court of Common Pleas for Philadelphia County.

The good news is that if this goes into next week I have an excuse to not go to my sister's house for Thanksgiving!! I will be able to keep the $$$ offered to whoever gets...

Sitting in the office on a Sunday afternoon getting ready to go back to Philly. Fun. In the best of all worlds, we win in Philly in Monday and I find out a case is dismissed in Boston. In the worst case, Philly continues, Boston statrs Wednesday and I go back and forth between them. This week will either be great or completely suck.

On...

If you're still looking to avoid Thanksgiving I'll let you take over my family in England for a few days. We call it Crapfest over here anyway.

Free from Philly until Monday, and hopefully that will only last one day.

I think I'm going to get to go to China for 3 weeks this Spring. Hong Kong and Shang Hai. Anyone been?

Still have $$$ on table for whoever gets me out of family Thanksgiving.

You'd have to ask Alex about the "next ex-wife" list, 'cause apparently I'm on it. Now as for the "next ex-husband" list...hmm...I'll have to think about that.
Upsettingly Alex knows most of the people that are on the guilt-free sex list personally, therefore refuses to agree to it's terms.

I'm living a Ground Hod's Day existence back here in Philly, but hopefully this all ends Wednesday. Hope to be in Chicago for an extended period after that.

Until then it's room service and Husker Du tonight.

I will pay large amounts of $$$ to anyone who can give me a plausable excuse to not go to my sister's house for Thanksgiving. This excuse must...

Back at home through Monday afternoon before I return to Philly. Thinking about heading to an art exhibit at the American Surgery Museum (why they are having an art exhibit I can't explain). NOT going to go to the office today NO MATTER WHAT.

Talked to some friends who saw Courtney Love this week. Her voice was in good form but she wasn't playing guitar...

hiya. biggrin

i sent you a friend request because i read your post about needing a bottle of wine and heavy dose of the replacements after the election. that is exactly what i need.

i was supposed to be in minneapolis this weekend seeing paul westerberg 3x but the stars aligned to make sure it didn't happen.

anyway, good luck in philly.

Can't stand Courtney Love. Can't stand REM either. I suppose I'm of no help.
Had a friend who said the Pixies rocked, though.
