Right ... still trying to round up a 4th bowler for Vegas, weekend of the 20th, might have a couple possibilities. Anyways, found out that some friends of mine from Chicago are going to be there, too, which is pretty cool.

So

Weekend after the upcoming, I'm entered in a bowling tournament in Las Vegas, put on by BYO Records.

New problem: My 4th bowler can't make it over from Hawaii due to some work commitments that he really can't get away from, unfortunately.

2 of the other people on my foursome will be there, from London. One of them has dire brain cancer and will...

DUDE!!! I HATE YOU!!!! wink

i've always wanted to go to that bowling thing - let me know your team name ok, and i'll get my mate Jeff to come over and say hi (he's the new dead kennedys guy)...

he'll either be in the Souls team (who are usually East Coast Mags or summat), or another one - i'll find out who...

Less drinking, more saving of money. Travelling is needed. I need to make a return trip to London and remind the Big Smoke who's really in charge!

I'm still grinning ear-to-ear about Texas beating USC the other night. I just downloaded a 15-minute highlight film from the game onto my iPod biggrin

I like my job.

We have a good team of people, we all get along, we all have a good work ethic.

We cook cool food. It's not earth-shattering, but it's fun and different enough to be interesting. The head chef has a great attitude and is good to work for.

By virtue of being owned by a big corporation, the pay is above average...

Sorry to read that. I never cease to be disturbed by this kind of casual, short-sighted meddling by people who know sod-all about the area they are meddling with but are too far up their own arses to worry about that detail. I hope they can be persuaded to retract their little brainstorm. It's depressing finding a good niche & then some unnecessary rubbish like that happens.

Happy New Year anyway - hope it all works out.
dollface:
yucky corporate fucks!

stick it out for a mo, feel it out before you do anything too immediate.

on christmas night, while sipping on my wine, seth and mary asked how you were, where you were working. i mentioned it, and mary responded, "Oh I LOVE that place!!!"

everything is going to work out perfectly, of course. don't you worry.

Happy New Years, I suppose... Another holiday that's going to breeze by me without my having a chance to notice until it's over.

And this is the part where I reflect on 2005 and what's happened.

All in all, an amazing year, really -- half spent in the UK (including a touch of Belgium, Portugal, and Germany), and half back here. The odd thing is,...

I can't believe it's already Christmas Eve ... it feels like September or something.

I also can't believe I've been in L.A. for 4 months already, and back in the States for 5. Just seems like a few weeks ago I was wandering the streets of Soho at 3am ... very surreal.

I don't know if it's the mild weather or just the fact that...

dude, i'm going to the pontiac for new years.
crackheidi:
TAN! appreciated it, they were really good about it too, they are used to doing all the driving and tour management themselves, so having the help was great as far as they were concerned. I got a shout out every night too, whihc was cool as fuck. If you hear of any other bands who are coming over, get them to get in touch.

This has been blaring through my stereo all day while I'm doing housework.

Hot!

In other news, I've pretty much decided that, after New Years, I'm going to sell my car and buy some kind of 1950's cruiser. I've been digging around looking for the right deal. I'll find it.

i admit it. i am lonely. being sick always brings it out of me. i want nothing more than someone to cuddle me when i am sick.

maybe it's just my maternal abandonment talking again.

Popped into this English pub around the corner from my place (the Cock & Bull) after work last night. British guy sitting next me ("Hardest cunt I know, that guy," said the Scottish bartender) turns to me at one point, asks where I'm from. "Texas," I reply. "Texas? What the Hell? You look British as bloody Hell, you do!"

I'm not sure how one "looks...

So my car got impounded by the city for having expired, out-of-state tags.

Time to go stand in line for a few hours at the DMV

There is a similar thing with licence plates here; having to correspond to the area you live in (or something like that). Perhaps there is some really important reason why this is necessary, but I doubt it.
I fucking hate bureaucrats, and the wankers who carry out their edicts. Pointless, self-important twats.
