wow ...

a few years ago, my company had a 401k plan, and i was putting a little cash into it. then we got bought by another company, so they ended our 401k plan, and sent us all checks to roll over into a new 401k with the new company, but i never actually did it. they sent me a check, but i never cashed...

Actually, the check could have come at a better time. One day earlier, and it would've been deliciously ironic. Friday the 13th and all.
You're right, if I would've set my alarm for no reason, I really would've felt like an ass!

by the way, the tamales didn't even make it half way home last night. mmmmmm

2am drunken update

no shows that really interested me were on tonight. there were a couple that sounded mildly interesting but not enough to deter me from my thursday night routine of sitting at the bar getting hammered with T'Slats and my favorite bartendress. yeah, she's still my favorite drink vendor in town. funny ... i was telling 'Slats at the bar about how i...

yeah.... maybe in time,.... there are at least 3 other women I would enjoy being around on a daily basis (and alreayd do) and thats the thing I think thats been holding me back from going fully private is I think I will msis the company of other women.... but being private means I have way more time to see them! wink

slowly slowly... I figure I'm only 23 and if I'm this far ahead already to paraphrase yazz 'the only way is up'

Amazingly enough, I'm going to be on time for work two days in a row. There's definitely something to be said for this drinking at night business!

so tomorrow's friday the 13th.

Lucky 13. bring it on, i say. 13's usually a good one for me ... last time i went to a casino i played 13 at roulette and hit it, and the last couple times i've gone bowling i've gotten lucky lane 13, and bowled decent. hell, this monday i won 3 of 4 games on the night.

so alright....

There is some good australian hiphop, but like american hiphop most of it is shit. but cause there's so much less australian stuff it's really hard to find the good stuff.

Glad you liked love like... they're from adelaide. We played with one of the singer's other bands when they were in melbourne. Completely different though.
illbillzillbub:
a yowie is a mythical australian monster guy,now also a chocolate.

there is some ok aussie hip hop,there is a crew called the Herd who are pretty good,but it does kind of sound odd with an aussie accent,and i heard these lebanese guys from the western suburbs who were hilarious....and this other guy named Ozi Batla who MC's with a few Drum n Bass crews...."we drop beats like they drop pills in Surry Hills".....haha
I'll have a look for some sites

charred meat, bowling, and booze tonight.

of course, i completely put off cleaning my apartment all weekend, so guess what i get to do today before people start coming over?

i also have to hit the grocery store: i'm out of the all-important charcoal. hard to have a cookout without that, since my big fancy gas grill is in storage.

also need to run by...

went out with dollface last night to a new bar in her neighborhood. cool place, cheap drinks. have no idea what the name was. corner of halsted and cermak i think? something like that. then we went to the grocery store and bought ice cream, bananas, and magic shell, and went back to her place to make banana splits.

traded emails on and off all...

crossfire event was alright. did some autocrossing in the crossfire and a porsche boxster. had a "moment" in the crossfire when i went through this one corner that had some sort of speed bump things you're supposed to slow down for, that i didn't slow down for, and basically skipped through the corner on just my front wheels. was pretty fun smile

now i'm home, thawing...

today: doing housework ahead of monday's birthday shenanigans. roommate's leaving town tomorrow morning so the place should stay clean over the weekend.

tonight: electric six at the double door. looking forward to that one.

tomorrow: going to some driving event to drive the new chrysler crossfire. i'm less excited about it than the guy that is bugging me to go, but it's a chance to...

so i went back to TheBar for the first time since TheRejection, and frankly, everything was fine. TheBartendress was a little less chatty than normal when she first came in (T-Slats and i got there before she came on) but actually, after 'Slats left, she seemed to warm up and we chatted a bit, more or less like normal.

so, no worries, we're still pals...

tonight, i think i may wander over to the double door to see Faux Jean, Tenki, and Clearly & The Mainstream.

can't find anything else on, so that's probably going to end up the plan.

tomorrow, Electric 6 plays. looking forward to that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

on second thought, skipping the show, ordering some pizza, drinking some black bush, and hitting the bar later with 'slats.

hers was a fuzzy pink sweater
mine was a floral photo album.
thank heavens.
now... if only i had reason to photograph things.

on a whim tonight i rolled over to the abbey pub to see rocket from the tombs.

wow.

it was a little hit or miss, but more hit than miss. and when it was on, it was ON

i thought the place was going to come apart during "final solution"

opening band, cobra verde, was also pretty good.

i witnessed some great rock n roll...

Enderby is great, I need to get around to rereading those. My favorites would be The Doctor is Sick and The Wanting Seed.

Yeah, it's hard to sweep, so I figure NJ will win one, probably in NJ, but I can't see them stopping Duncan. It's too bad he doesn't get the credit he deserves. I mean, granted, he's got a couple MVP's and he'll be winning another championship, but most people have never heard of him.
kurtz:
dude, it's the opposite for me..... the daytime boredom makes me wanna sleep or fight..... the nighttime boredom just makes me wanna drink to entertain myself...... and it usually works...... now that is sad...... introducing the new AA poster child.......

oh yeah, rocket from the tombs??? man i'd be pissed if i liked rocket from the crypt......

a little history lesson for you all:

http://www.chartreuse.fr/pa_sommaire_uk.htm

i didn't know they made a 142-proof version of the stuff. i'd love to have a bottle of that around the hosue just for the sake of playing tricks on people -- "well, it's basically the same as jaeger -- just do a shot, you'll love it"

or whip up a green dragon (or flaming dragon) with...

Chartreuse is indeed fun stuff. You gotta love all the booze made by monks. Makes you wonder how much time they spend praying and being pious, as opposed to getting stiff.
I need to use "stiff" in that context more often.
If my schedule changes next week according to plan, I'll be free on Wed and Thurs. smile
