Yet another day gone in my oh-so-rock-star life.

After a hard evening of bullshitting, drinking cheap beer, and fucking up the game of poker the night before, I woke up late and decided to sleep later. Finally, I rolled out of bed and did the nice leisurely shower bit. I chatted online with FunctionalGirl and various other people who are not sexy enough to mention...

Did my terrible job of playing on the computer and racing go karts again today. Chatted online with an interesting new friend for a while.

Then I was off to poker night with the boys. Lots of stories told. Lots of beer consumed--mainly by me. Some suspicious meat by-product was consumed. And general male bonding occurred. Except without the hugging, because Vikprez was there, and...

Seven minutes until my download finishes. Let's see if I can crank this out.

I started my new job writing control software for karting centers. As such, I spend an inordinate amount of time racing karts. I have my own office and all the fountain soda I can drink. It's funny that I've come to expect things like this in my jobs.

I had fun...

Raced karts for three hours today. Configured my new badass computer. Watched karaoke. Hung out with some dear friends. Drank free drinks. Will update properly tomorrow.

Only downside: I still don't have much patience for people that can't hold their liquor.

No need for sleep and boredom make null a very strange boy.

I find myself wondering things like: is an existence devoid of any sort of passion still a life?

Then I think about pie.

Today I have every reason to be depressed or angry or sad or all of the above. Past, present, and future weigh on me in ways most people will never know. Today is the worst day of all. Today is the day my memory truly betrays me. I can feel my omnipresent tiredness and anger in the pressure behind my eyes, in the compulsion to...

After a sound, dreamless night's sleep, I rolled out of bed at what for me is the ungodly hour of eight in the morning. Another leisurely shower and shave ensued, and I bummed around the apartment in my oldest warm-ups and read Hellboy comics for a few hours.

Finally, I departed in search of food. Initially, I thought Jillian's for a little food and pool...

Looks like I'm going to take the go kart job. The pay isn't stellar, but it should be fun for a while.

In other news, I'm considering drinking myself into a coma/premature death tonight. Anyone want to watch? I'm sure it will be an amusing time for all.

Lastly, you know that one girl at the bookstore? The one that's only a couple of inches...

Let's set up a situation: there's a company that builds systems to run and manage go-kart centers and race tracks. They're run by tech heads, so you'd get to play with some of the newest technology out there. Aside from an awesome benefits package, you get unlimited access to the race school and karts. You can run on any of their three local courses, if...

Outside rain sprinkles, creates a shimmering curtain against the mottled grey of the sky. Lighter, whiter patches promise a dry pleasant evening to come. The mid-forties temperature chills the windowpane just perfectly to give my bare toes a tingle as they rest on the glass.

Inside, I set Gravity's Rainbow aside and heft my laptop from alongside the new issue of my favorite comic book....
