I'm done moping. I am in the most glorious mood today, I spent more money than I should have, new jeans, new shoes and a very tall stack of records. The sun is out and I sat outside reading and drinking beer all afternoon winking at the cute girls in sundresses and big glasses as they walked by. Bumped into my old friend, Matt Brown...

I apologize in advance for this rant.

The company is full of liars, and I'm a fool for not putting in my notice three weeks ago. They had no intention of letting us (the kitchen) keep any autonomy, the organic product is going away, as are the small farmers that supply us with product. The new executive chef is being introduced tommorow at a shoddily...

In light of current events I've been thinking about the phenomena of school shootings. I was thinking, "why schools?" Schools are a massive institution, the second most important imprinter of culture after family, where the standards of society at large are learned. The shooters are symptoms of something larger, of our diseased culture, effectively cornered rats lashing out. When caged rats are overcrowded they eat...

The corporate takeover of my restaurant happened this monday, in classic sleazy corporate fashon. Our new "owner" lied to us twice in the course of the first two days: on monday we had to come in and clean for three hours and Bruce (the owner) made repeated statements about being done so that we would be ready for lunch the next day, then at the...

Dave is ranting about the OLCC again, his intelligence matched only by his parinoia, "They have my made my house unlivable, I need to get the fuck out of this town!". He is convinced he is is begging to show signs of diabetes 2, his back is out again -- at least his record is mastered. Meantime Sandy cracks his back and nods tenderly and...

I temporarilly lost the cord that powers this little box of evil, the neurotic in me is always vaugley tense imagining I'm missing all sorts of important communications. I return and realize that I have missed nothing. Maybe Europe will kill off this evil addiction.

I think I'm going to drag my friends to the woods tommorow, after brunch. I feel very bleh today.

I...

Is anyone else annoyed with the changes? Lots and lots of bugs it seems, as if I was only half logged in, I miss the old days when the background was pink.

My trip to California was quite epic. My grandparents are starting to look so old, it is a strange thing, they have looked and acted the same for as long as I can...

I suppose I must make the obligatory blog from the airport. My flight home, to San Jose leaves in twenty minutes, and I can't help but feel that it's a shame I'm leaving today, because the weather is absolutely stunning, everything is green and smells fresh. I pray I can find my way up to Marin county, it would seem wine and cheese tasting in...

Crush me, won't you?

Things feel a bit haunted; the sunshine a little too bright, veiling the fog that seems to have settled here. I can't tell you what's wrong. but it's something outside of me.

Someone tell me it's all going to be fine, because I'm not sure anymore.

I am going home for Easter, being home is always fills me with aprehension and mixed feelings. It always serves as a reminder, so I know again why I moved to Oregon. It's also weird as I, along with my sisters revert to more childish ways. On the oither hand, I get to see my grandparents, who I adore. I am cooking them a four...

What happens when irony ceases to be and becomes a serious, straightforward thing? Someone once said to me in reference to the obnoxious UK Hard House I was spinning when I was a DJ that a thing is over when it parodies itself. Isn't Irony that parody? When Irony becomes serious, it's a sort of irony of it's own, a parody of the parody. Sometimes...
