Im not entirely sure why but I find that there is something altogether sexy about leggings. Purple ripped obviously-80s-Olivia-Newton-John-inspired leggings to be exact. Her name was Jenny (rapidly nicknamed Jenny Ondioline, hi, music geek, hi) and she was devilishly hard to engage in conversation, she jumped from clique to clique like a flea in a dog kennel. And I was constantly being cornered by a...

you need to write a book, my friend.
I apologise for not making my appointed rounds. There was a sudden connection outage that Cox Cable could not clear. I am guessing that there was likely a bundle of fiber optics involved in the loss of service, an errant backhoe, angry workmen and service orders and threats of Ahll sue yuh! But the connection LED on the front of the cable modem is blinking...

you are much much fun. and 65 degrees is SO tempting... as is that bottle of wine and box of Mr. Bubble.

i always like your posts, man.
and i have seen friends on dating shows too (i must admit to an on again off again addiction to even the worst ones) and i can attest -- that is very strange. it also is completely wrong that i watched a lot of dating shows and change of heart as well with my ex-wife and my last girlfriend who i saw for 2 years. somehow, i think our interests in those shows was more than in the excellent production qualities.
why you frontin' like you don't know where the manhaus is? dude, WE MET there, remember! (insert smiley face thingie here -- i'm not the emoticon type but i do like to try sarcasm and bad humor even though it NEVER works in this written form...) later.

Spend enough time around electronics and youll start to hear the symphony. The case fan in the computer hums along at midrange Hertz, what, 8000 or so? The air conditioner hisses through the vents with five different notes, all in the fourth octave. The power lines behind the drywall add a deep bass buzz, and the televisions and monitors add a sawblade keening thats just...

Popcorn and coffee, huh? You health nut... It's funny, your post reminds me a lot of John Cage, what he said about approaching all of life as if all sound were music just waiting to be heard, how you have to adjust your ears to try to do that, and then looky Cronenberg looks sort of like Cage nowadays -- all that white hair I'll be there soon myself.
Chris is goth. Chris regards his gothness like an allergy he resents it but endures it out of good nature, and he knows he can never leave it behind. He never talked much, but then again, we were never close. He often hinted at his past, this was all that he did, hint, I know that he was married once and that didnt work, and...

Thursday was a good day.
Started out at 4:30 AM, went to bed early the previous day, you see. Got in to work at 5:40 AM. Finished work
for the day at 2:00 PM. And I skipped lunch. So that meant that, at 2:00 PM, I had completed 8 hours of work. It was a warm February day and I get no
overtime. No reason...

Current crush has not been around. I have not seen her for over a week, which is odd, since she usually works six nights a week at the coffeeshop. I have it on good confidence that she hasnt yet moved to Boston but I never have time to skip out those 100 yards to the Rue so there is still no confirmation of her continued...

sorry to hear about that, man.
liked the bit about the inadvertent wheelies on the vespas, very funny.

I live life at an unhurried pace. Which is a diplomatic way of saying that I have no life.
What did you expect? I keep an online diary, after all.
But life from Friday on has been whiz-bang-nonstop, coffee in the morning, beer in the afternoon, whiskey at night. Until now. I am not going out tonight. Ive weighted myself down, made sure that I...

New Orleans is fat with great food and incredible chefs. I have only gained four pounds since I moved down here two years ago - a friggin' miracle. The only thing about this city is that there is no good barbecue anywhere. Which I will gladly put up with if it means redbeans and redfish and baked macaroni and my god, I love this town.
The Feelies? Good god yes. Through Allmusic ( http://www.allmusic.com/ ) I was able to find a bunch of like bands, including the Embarassment, who I highly recommend. Then again, I also dig Cheap Trick, it's a secret shame so shhhhh please don't tell anyone.
Didn't I didn't I didn't I see you crying, ohhhh oh didn't I didn't I didn't I see you crying!

looks like a pretty great show! (the world could REALLY use hearing that soft boys song considering the world situation, "loose" to "mod lang" is pretty bold, i love laura cantrell and that's rad of you to resurrect both death of samantha and pylon in one show.)
new orleans should be proud -- i hope they understand the value of truly groovy freeform programming. ever listen to wfmu on the web? (wfmu.org) or wrek in atlanta?

I somehow thought that when I moved here that frost heaves and broken pavement joins would be a thing of the past. Warm weather would mean smooth driving.
I am a damn fool.
New Orleans is second only to Boston for sheer lack of road quality. There are many factors for this, including the citys reluctance to properly maintain any bit of public transportation (unless...

Tonight was a beer night.
I usually do not like indulging at the local bars but the prices are cheap and tonight I was thirsty. As current crush has been oddly absent lately beer seemed like the drug of choice. And as alcohol tends to turn my foot into lead I make sure to drink at bars within walking distance. Of which there are three....

tuesday:
I always tell people that it rains everyday at three in New Orleans and then never believe me. It makes all the donkey shit in the Quarter smell even worse. I used to hate it when I was a kid because I would have to sit inside and watch cowboy movies with my grandpa while it rained.

I'm not too sure how it got started.
There are a bunch of vague drunken memories, parties at the Legion Hall, at the Guapo/Skittles/etc. house, Beavis's apartment, other places... bouncing around the hallways in Walker or Couch... they're scattershot and out of focus, I can barely hear anyone talk, see anyone move in them. When I replay these memories in my head I usually see...

Thursday night and the Sandman was snubbing me again.
Sleep was necessary because I was slated for an installation at the sherriffs office early and I would run hard and run late, ending the night at Twiropa, working a merch table for the local college radio station. Total time spent awake would equal 22 hours. Add in nine hours of work and my standard cardio...
