i had a really nutty dream last night. me and a handful of people were being held hostage for something (i never found out what) but in a building full of people that didn't know what was going on. we couldn't tell anyone that we were being held hostage or the bad guys would start killing people or something. so i started talking a bunch...

sorry, yeah,... the models. um. nevermind.

the dream. kick ASS! you woke up because your subconscious knew your ego couldn't handle how awesome(ly?) you busted that big guy up.

tonight: bowling

actually, most of today was about bowling. i went by myself around 1pm, went back with jab around 5, then went back again with jab, thirsty, and another friend of ours around 10.

scores were pretty nice (for me anyway) until i suffered a complete bowling breakdown in the last game of the day. but fuck it, my finger hurt, my shoulder hurt,...

ps I DO want to hear your opinions on local bowling alleys. Have you been to Southport Lanes?
jab:
i was tempted to go again tonight, but i'm pretty beat. it's turning into the new treebeard. i can't stop thinking about it. a bunch of us are doing it for the kids on march 8.

pirate bowl! i saw it referenced today as such, just like you said.

back in dallas. mayhem at the airport yesterday: got up at 6 (after being up past 2 trying to make my apt less of a disaster for my roommate to come home to), cleaned up, packed, called a cab, went to the airport. plane got delayed ... delayed ... then as we were boarding the plane -- cancelled. thanks for playing. re-booked onto an 11.30...

now i have to pack my bags to head back to dallas for the next 2 weeks, during which...

i like this branching out i'm reading about. i'm actually out the door right now to meet up at meridian. we're off to that Porterhouse place next door to the lanes, and then of course to the lanes. rock.
obelisk:
Thanks. It was nice to meet Dollface and yourself last nite. I am in awe of the mighty power of your hook shot!

stuff came this morning. almost 12 hours ago, as a matter of fact. pretty much non-stop action today as a result:
a) movers hauling stuff into my apartment.

b) movers hauling extra stuff into a self-storage unit.

c) bowling at lanes so fucking old school that they don't even have pin-setting machines -- they have *PIN BOYS* that manually set the pins. also, they had...

-Not the Ramones
-that's hilarious . The orange ruffy was awesome, having leftovers for dinner. Good luck with the unpacking.
dollface:

i can hear some dude out my window puking his guts up. violently, i might add.

the chicago sound show was great - what a blast!

one of the opening bands, crimson sweet, also rocked. they weren't terribly tight, but the songs and energy totally ripped.

supposedly the movers are dropping my stuff off in the morning. gonna be pissed if they flake again. there...

bushmills....mmmm

Did you know Iggy Pop wrote China Girl for Bowie? I did not, and I love them both.

Did you ever go over to Tumans?
jab:
one throne maybe. this place is the first place i ever used movers for, due to the 3rd floor factor. it's really the way to go if you don't feel bad about not doing it yourself, but a tricky place or a move as far as yours doesn't leave a lot of choice. but, ok now, 'frozen trucks' sounds like a load of bullshit to me too and ruins the purpose of having someone else take care of your business for you. i'm late to here tho and it's probably all worked itself out by now.

frozen trucks, eh? that sounds like a canadian excuse.

damn, i'm so bummed i didn't put in a paybacks T order. pins pins tonight. sunday was really cool - chad took high game and sean took high average. most style was scottface killa of course. he actually rolls a pretty mean game when he takes it half way seriously. we got snow on sunday, you woulda dug it.

paybacks: rippin' it up and makin' a difference. but they ran out of XL t-shirts.

gore gore girls: good, not great. totally worth seeing even if they were headlining. just didn't bowl me over.

double door bar: one question: how the fuck can you be a bar in chicago and have not a drop of irish whiskey available?

hot dreadlocked cocktail waitress that refused to...

in chicago. got in yesterday around noon, actually, but no internet.

see, there's this dude that my roommate was trying to help out by letting him crash here while he was looking for a job and trying to get on his feet. well, after about 6 months of this dude freeloading and not doing much in the way of job searching, my roommate asked him...

kopper:
that's so shitty.. i've had some colossal asshats for roommates over the years, but never a thief/squatter. i'm in agreement with jab, this guy needs a belt to the head with a sack full of doorknobs.

the gore gore girls are coming to my little hometown next month.. guess i won't miss out after all.
