i want to write something thrilling ... fascinating ... inspiring ... or, at the very least, something genuine.

i'm tired of all my recycled "boo-hoo" emotions.

i'll tell you what i want (what i reallyreallywant). i want to have a crush on someone. if there are any among you who have a crush - even an...

Some new photos would be good... I hear they're worth 1000 words each.

I wonder if anyone ever adds comments way down here, and if you'd ever see it

Austin Question:

Let's pretend for a moment that I'm a 30-35 year old starving musician (alt-country, urban folk) looking to live in Austin. I enjoy cozy, older neighborhoods, and want to be near nightlife, thrift shops, neighborhood bars, galleries and coffee shops.

Where in Austin do I want to live?

All these other girls are crap, you are the most beautiful woman here. We would like to see more pictures, for art's sake.

little things ...

1) today, if it was within a 12 foot radius, i ran into it. walls, cars, doors, cake. yah. kinda glad i ran into the cake, though.

2) i like my hair better straight. sure, it takes a good 4 hours to do properly and it is killing my hair, but ... it lets me pretend that i was born with lovely...

I was going to, and the Holy Rollers are my favorite team too, but I got an off duty job I couldn't pass up. I'll be sitting on FM 620 S from 7:30 pm to 6:30 am doing nothing but blocking traffic with my car for big $. frown Let me know how it goes.

So, did you guys go to roller derby. Tell me it sucked, was boring and I'm lucky I couldn't go.

If it's the "player" thing, I couldn't relate. I'm more of a "beggar" than a "player."

minor set-back today, but a soldier marches on. blackeyed

if you would pardon a little angst this evening ...

i am getting that familiar, "why can't i just be like everyone else?" feeling tonight. i hate that.

most of the time, i am grateful for all of the things that make me different.

so screw it! the positivity train keeps-a-rollin! i'm gonna go do something very...

making Hamburger Helper (w/Turkey, natch) for the first time in a while.

i like how towards the end of the directions (after all the browning and boiling), it says:

"Meanwhile, stir 1/4 cup milk and Topping mix in bowl ...."

why is the "Meanwhile" in italics? is something clandestine going on? yes, i am easily amused.

um, so about my last post. sorry...

that's really not hamburger helper then, is it?

meanwhile back at the bat cave....

i thought your story was heading down a road i once traveled. installing some software, i dutifully worked through the directions on page one, then turned to page 2. the first words were "but first...."

i'm all in favor of reinstating the sterilization laws. what? we never had sterilization laws?

now i see the problem. mad

You weren't interrupting anything at all. I just never saw you again, so I never got to say more than "hi." Yes, I wore the hat for that specific reason. It wasn't like I could say "I'll be the tattooed rockabilly guy with the pompadour" and expect you to pick me out of the crowd.

poignant, heartbreaking and so full of hope all at the same time. for giving us that beautiful confession, you are absolves of all past sins.

i see that you've lost those 400 extra pounds. love

I'll be the skinny guy in the psychbilly hat (from my page pic) and rattlesnake skin boots. I put the "K" in klassy. The map to the place is here: Roller Derby It should be easy to find. Just go east on 51st and there should be a sign on your right at the gate.

i think that one of the most trusting things one can do is fall asleep next to someone. i can't do it for the life of me.

i think i formed this thought many years ago when i got my first doggie. how much trust does it involve to fall asleep on the lap of some big oafish person you don't know? a lot, i...

I think as long as you have bread pudding, there's always trust. That's just my take.

I also think that someone like you probably makes it hard to live without somebody else. Ya know?

months of searching the Slate diaries one by one ... and all i had to do was Google. i'm dumb.

anyway, you just gotta read THIS. i found it during one of those time-dragging shifts at the receptionist desk about a year ago. one of the funniest things i've ever read ... esp. the parts about Japanese anime porn. be sure to read all...
