i forgot how nice it was to wake up in somebody's arms.
especially somebody with big feet. who doesn't snore. and didn't give me hell for waking him up at 6 to walk through the cold with me on my way to work.
i also forgot how nice it was to smile inwardly while assembling glass.
and to feel a jolt of fucked up excitement...

where does your friend teach? i went to one kung fu class near copley and had a blast sparring with a guy there named chee.
i thought i had lost my brother in the airport but i found him.
i had stabbed myself earlier with an exacto while assembling A-frame prototypes, but it's ok. typing is a bit hard.
had a great dinner at redbones and went to see some fire dancing courtesy of hapto.

are you sure you haven't read ATLAS SHRUGGED?
i'm feelin' all right... just in one of those hateful-type moods, like how somedays its just really obvious that some stuff is really shitty in the world. bleh.
i talked to my mum and she finally sold her house and got a check and was able to get a new car which is a HUGEMONGOUS load off of my mind to worry about. so i'm happy.
plus i am spending friday night and saturday in beverly with my art-school roomate and most wonderful friend peter (co-author of the busey slang)...
presents!

what the fuck is with this perceived telepathy in the sign industry? god forbid someone write something down on paper!
i called-off today (we're slow in jan/feb and the boss asked if anybody wanted any downtime) so i couldn't talk to the production manager about pecan, but i will try to remember tomorrow.
and, for the record: i am always the least smooth when i try to be the most smooth.

your brother is rad. you seem to have similar dialogues with him that i have with mine. lots of smart-assery.
so i've been trying to learn to breathe fire for months now...
but the person who is going to teach me is very skiddish.
i just got an email from her about a session going on this thursday.
aka the thursday that my brother comes up.
meh.
guess i'll just have to procure a bottle of bacardi 151 and teach myself
hahahahaha

yes. but let us (lettuce) watch something more thoroughly steeped in violence and testosterone, so that i may retain my rough-and-tumble tough guy image in front of you. if you've got a pile of martial arts movies and i've got a pile of monster movies, i think we're ALL SET...
thanks for the update.
by the by, have you seen ONLY THE STRONG? my god (netflix) just delivered it to me today, i haven't seen it in years, but its a great capoeira movie (at least, i thought it was when i was 15, i haven't seen it since).

oh, and please do jump on that fire thing, at some point in my life, i'd love to use the following sentence:
"mom, this is samurai, she breathes fire."

Corporate america management always sucks to deal with. I sympathize with you on your shitty day.
i can't leave my house, let alone the second floor. stairs are painful. so i am passing the time coding stuff for mo and putting stuff away in my room so that i can actually walk around(and so my brother has a spot to put the air mattress). i really hope it snows while he's here, then i can fulfill my life long dream of...

such a good sister! it sounds like you guys talk like me and my little brother do...
i finally talked to him last night for a bit.
me: pants and i were talking about what i'd do if i made enough money off of a design job to relax for one year, and i said i've have to hire someone to teach me how...
bro: hahaha
me: but then i figured that would cost too much money... then i realized, i could pay YOU ten bucks to teach me...
bro: ten bucks? try a sandwich dude!

my mum has been all about the "insurance" talk for the last few years. i'm starting to think she has some kind of morbid fascination with it. she made me the executor/beneficiary a few years ago and she keeps going over with me what i'm supposed to do if she dies, and i'm all "okay, i'll deal with it, how 'bout you just focus on not dying though, ok?"
hahaha.

i'm getting tired of my dreams. they are really fucked. i dreamed that i saw my gram, grampa and great gram (all three are dead) and my gram told me "say goodbye to great gram, she's been really sick" and i was just like "that's because she's been dead for four years."
it was weird. off to work.
woo hoo!

that's all i'll say about tonite.
well.....i lied.
i will say this: when i was riding my wee chopper, geisha, from skunk's house, a cab driver stuck his whole upper body and yelled:

meh. if i died tonight, i'd die happy. but i promised my brother i'd be alive to take him to cheers. it's all good.

scooter store guy called me making crazy ass claims that he is selling not one, but five franchise stores and wants me to go to pennsylvania in a week or two for a strategy meeting on planning the whole fiasco... it sucks, i like working on the project, but i can't trust the client as far as i can throw him, so i have to always make sure i have him backed into a corner and he is desperate for me so i can set the terms.
i'm gradually getting stuff done here, but i have a bad feeling that i'm gonna get REALLY bored in a few hours...
and i sent back all of my netflix movies this week...
