So tired. Can't concentrate. Must finish work.
New pics. Beard.
(help!)
*** update ***
I want to die.
(But I'd like to be resurrected once this is all done and I'm free.)
It's 1:30am and time to go for pizza.

don't ever give up on your brother...your dad might not ever get it...i know my grandmother won't and she sounds as bad as your dad~~but i got through to almost all my cousins because i never stopped speaking my mind and standing up for what i believe in. i hope your brother doesn't end up being a rascist like you said your dad and my grandmother are.
antiprincess:
Mmm...pizza.
I recommend not dying. I hear that resurrection thing isn't nearly as common as it used to be.

With the help of a nonsensical comment from resident loon, napipain, I cleared a full page of journal comments. I'd like to thank all the little people that got me here. Maybe now you'll stop headbutting my crotch.
I'm off in a few minutes to a presentation at the department on non-academic jobs, which is being held for the benefit of those of us who...

Dry spell my ass. Looks like you just needed to be patient.
I had considered just dropping out of her life, the easier of the 2 options, but now I hear she wants a confrontation w/ me, in which case, I'll give her a fucking rumble. The bitch is going down.

I'm sitting here naked and nervous because all week the property rental folks have been coming by to show my apartment claiming they notified me by phone the day before. The past few times this has simply been untrue, and has resulted in me dashing to my dresser at the sound of keys jangling outside my door. Fortunately, I keep my chain lock on all...

my first visit to a strip club was about age 22, during lunchtime with a couple of friends much older than me. we went to an all-nude bar in greektown, chicago. the girl that danced for me seemed to appear from a cloud. i love to write about it. but it's also terrible sad because any subsquent visit to a bar or club has had no one to compare to. it's so silly since it was 2pm on a thursday in downtown chicago. what a day, tho ...what a day! she even had one of those corny stripper names like 'crystal' or 'brandy' or whatever that you know is fake. but she was an angel, all nude in greektown on a thursday afternoon.

Yo there is no such thing as a # 7. Good one Pavaroratti.
So I've finally fessed up to my SG membership. I expect my good pal Lindsey, and possibly Ed, who's kind of weird and zot-bait at some naive, pure level, will be signing up shortly. Then the only contact I'll have with the people here in the MA program, a group of people about to be flung to the furthest corners of this wide country, never...

i am very very impressed. geekiness will get you everywhere. 
p.s. oh my lawks, i just reread your post: the globalization music thinger--right now the huuuugest trend in "the rap music" is using indian/pakistani samples. would this work? an example would be something like Redman and Eric Sermon's "React." (i might have the name wrong. i'm not cool enough.) also i feel like jay-z and some group called "Truth Hurts" did similar things. Okay, I'm a big dork, and I'll toddle off and drink some milk and have some nice cookies.

So, my week in Toronto...
No. I went to school for four years there; let's be specific.
So I went to the Book Expo trade show, which was cool because I always wind up standing in the way of famous authors and editors. I saw just about everyone from my old store there, or rather, they saw me. It's nice to know my legend lives...

if you find a good career out of books, i'm allllll ears. sounds lovely. !!

Don't work for the government... all governments are corrupt.........

I might be loser #1 on SG. I return home after an absence of 5 days and there's a single reply in my journal. Thank you, Scattershot.
Actually, I'm a really big loser because not getting replies in my journal actually makes me kind of sad.

just so ya know dude, i always read your shit. its part of the ritual where i read the journals of everyone in my friends list. but i only comment when i have something to say. but you arent unnoticed just so ya know

I totally understand coming here to lift your mood. I'm off to the chat to complain to as many people as possible about my stupid, self-centered bridesmaids. I can't cut them, because I don't need that kind of drama right now, but I've already planned on pretty much making no big effort to keep them in my life after the wedding (how sad and mean is that?).
I'm sorry you don't know when you'll see your girl again. That sucks.

Tomorrow afternoon I'll be leaving for Toronto for a few days to a) see my chickie, and b) look for a job so I don't have to live in my mother's basement when my time here is up.

what about road island, its neither a road nor an Island... can we discuss that.
I'll say this once and be done with it.
If someone has just been told they may be terminally ill, it is stupid--not heartless or mean, for I realize it springs from the best intentions--to say things like, "you can beat this thing." Death happens. And just because those who appear to cheat death call themselves "strong" (usually on Maury Povich or Oprah), it doesn't...

I wish I could afford to buy McSweeney's all the time. I only have the one that came with the CD. I like Doughty & TMBG.
I suffer extreme hankering for McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales.

Okay, if you ever have a party like that, you better write a journal about it, too. That would be hot. hehe.
And I meant myself no disrespect by the slut comment.

Played yesterday. Didn't fuck up too badly. Didn't bore them too badly either. Alex says she'll look into setting up some gigs around town later in June.
Then it will all be over. We'll all go to our respective corners of the country, likely to never meet again, and so ends the greatest year of my life.
Bought 3 CDs today: I can't stop spending...

Well, big, huge congrats on getting your assignments done!! Now it's Miller time...
What am I glad to have finished? Well, I was certainly glad when the bathtub got unclogged the other day, but I didn't actually DO that. Nothing ever seems to get "finished" around here. I did some proofreading for the magazine I volunteer with and got that turned in, and I was also glad to get the 3 programs for my website completed. But I know that soon I'll just have to turn around and do it all again with a different batch of papers and different programs. Plus, school for me begins tomorrow, so now I'll NEVER get anything done...
And if Mike's is a kid's drink (hmm, alcohol for kids, I dunno!), then I'm a big ol' kid and not ashamed to admit it. So there.
i'm glad i finished weeding the front garden!
