Wow, I'm sick as hell. I never get sick. I actually took a sick day today, which may be either #2 or #3 ever. But when you lie awake shivering at night and probably don't get more than 3 hours of sleep when you've been in bed for about 9, then wake up with dizzy spells and nausea, you don't want to go visit the...

I saw a good show last night, the band Split Habit was playing down in Des Moines. I'd seen them once before, and this show I knew their stuff and the setting was a lot smaller. They're a pop-punk outfit from Chicago, and they're a lot of fun. The crowd was there for them, even though they weren't the headliners, and they were loving the...

Guess who hasn't done shit lately?

This guy.

Wow, I must be piss drunk. I didn't even glance at the sets today before I noticed that the interview was the star of Ong-Bak and clicked on that. Okay, so I'm piss drunk and a geek, so sue me.

Note to self: watching Fight Club whilst drunk and in the company of similarly drunk roommates? Bad idea. I've got a vicious carpet burn on my cheek, a decent beetle brow and phantom aches and pains all over. To say nothing of how I'll feel tomorrow.

Hey, sweet, a Strata contest. I was just listening to them today.

New Elara set. She's why I joined, and while they're not all that uncommon, each one makes me sigh a little, and smile a lot. She's amazing.

Oh, yeah, I'm piss drunk.

Well, that was a fun diversion. I forgot to update my credit stuff, and was promptly booted from the site when it tried to charge my expired card. Then began a week of zany misadventures to get back on the site, including buying myself a gift membership (hey, I was a good boy last year) and typing in every combo of usernames and passwords I've...

Ah, the joys of a holiday I don't even believe in. Honestly, I don't know how Christianity survived the Enlightenment. Well, actually, I do, and it's in the hearts and minds of Baptists everywhere: it convinced people to stay dumb. Contratu-fucking-lations, you do good work.

I just saw the director's cut of Donnie Darko tonight. It's not really any different, they do intersperse text from the Philosophy of Time Travel in the scenes, and it helps explain it a bit better. The movie's still great, and it always screws with me. I don't quite get it, but I want to say it's almost a retelling of the Jesus story. It...

Birthday in 3 days: Good.
Thanksgiving with the family on the same day: Bad.
Chances of being looked down upon by my yuppie asshole uncle: Very good.
Desire to skip the family bullshit and do something, dear God anything, but endure another holiday gathering: Enormous.
Chances that will happen: Jack and shit, and guess who just skipped town.

Somewhere along the line I turned into Holden Caulfield, and didn't even realize it. That's not a good thing. I don't like myself very much, and haven't for a while.
