It's official - I'm a fully grown man! I took delivery of my first mattress set, and after a few engineering solutions - I'm now laying on 16" for springy goodness.

In under an hour and a half I managed to

-realize the box spring was simply too large for our spiral staircase.

- proceeded to have a "mentos moment" and sawed the fucker straight...

I just saw Persepolis and I'm still trying to close my eyes. I loved it. Perhaps it was the dry sense of humor the film wielded along with a much deeper sense of humanity. Maybe the noiresque animated delivery moved me. More acurately I believe, for me at least, it cut through to my childhood when Nickelodeon playing more silent european cartoons while touching all...

This is my President

and these are his words from many years ago.

Feel inspired? You should be.

So get inspired and go vote for him.

You know the best thing about 2008?

The first babies of 1990 - are now legal!

That's right come one come all - and here' s a new reason to love the Nineties!

I'll finally get to ball someone who never knew what the Cold War was like.

In these days where I indulge my independence a bit more often than not - AND such gives way to a solitary lifestyle - or at least my life shared by one, I adore the stories I read.

MMMMMmMmmmmmm. MMMMMmmmmmmmm. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I have a delightful little drink in my paws. It's not the tastiest - nor is it the weakest! What holiday would now be complete without a libation? How did I ever survive through my teens without one each and every celebratory morning? I pray (to what ever god are responsible for filling bellies and brains, livers and love handles) that you...

I'm going fucking crazy chasing a ghost. One minute she's there - the next - I swear - GONE! Moving on is a hard thing to do - but when she returns my world melts into a dreamscape and all I want is for here to respond.

I must stop this,

She is gone

Say it with me

She's not there

She is gone, never...

I think I may end up being an English teacher.


more to come as the haze gives way to definition.

So here we go - one week until the big dance at Mercury Lounge! the band is playing and I'm high on the hog because i get to own one of the best stages in the city!

I didn't roll in until 5AM ish - which is always nice. Prompting me to wish my roommate "good morning" at around 2pm today and then a quick...

sometimes I think I'm too smart for my own good - err wait - let's try this again.

sometimes I think i get wrapped up in being too smart and fall short on completing the more mechanical actions in my day - like being an administrative automaton and chugging through tasks like they are steps to breathing - just things that you do.

It's beginning to look a lot like - winter.

And we wait for the frozen wasteland- we squirrel away our heat.

Even last night i laid weatherstripping down in the sill to combat the air I lose to the street.

And with such a fantastic feat as opening eyes for the first time to see

white dusty branches and a snow covered treat.
