Man, Thursday continues to be the best day of the week.

Jam sessions, random friendly smooching, lots of drinkin' and lots of laughin'.

Just can't do better than that!

Haven't really felt like updating lately. Stuff hasn't really been bad, just haven't been spending much time at the computer.

My friend Allison dared me to shave off all of my pubic hair. It was sort of fun at first, but now it's itchy as hell.

I am drinking a $9.99 case of Beast and waiting on a bacon-topped pizza.

And that's my update.

A week of ups and downs was this. I'm feeling slightly addlepated....

Played hookey from work for the first couple of days, then received my karmic kick in the arse by getting legitimately ill, and had to work sick since I'd already missed a few days.

While at I was work on Thursday, some fuckstick broke into my truck and stole my stereo. He/she/it left...

Well, as of Saturday, I've officially lived in Portland for a year now. People keep telling me "Congratulations!", as though I've achieved something major. Just stayed alive, people, got to do that no matter what the town.....and trust me, I've lived in places much worse than PDX (south Mississippi anyone?).

Was supposed to hit the Pixies/DCFC/Decemberists show in Bend on Saturday, but my truck is...

All of my work for the GIS Community Partnership Map is finished. Please don't ask me to explain what it is right now, I just want to drift......

Met my new "little brother" today. This is the third time I've volunteered with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, the first time for Portland. Levante is 10. Kind of quiet, but we seem to have some common...

Ok, I'm ready for a good week here. One major deadline at work is finished. Progress on the 2nd one probably isn't at the level that the bosses wanted, but that's what happens when you assign one person to do the tasks of several, and then have the person bounce between the projects without time to focus.

Payday tomorrow, and it should be just enough...

Well, the days of high rolling with the Beemer and the hot tub have come to an end. They paid me $50 in cash and $80 worth of my favorite wine, so easily the best housesitting gig I've ever had.

It's nice to be back in my place, though. Between the 1st housesitting gig, then my vacation home to see the folks, then this housesitting...

I'm thinking things that I probably ought not to be thinking.

And I stayed out way too late, so I'm calling in sick to work tomorrow. My reward for meeting my deadline early.

Did some jamming with hansel tonight, which hopefully will be a regular thing. Really starting to feel comfortable with the SG crew, which is nice. A bunch of them nearly ended up...

My housesitting gig this week promises to be pretty damned fun. I get to cast of the memories of growing up in a trailer in south Louisiana and pretend to be rich for once. I'm housesitting for a stockbroker, who also happens to own the vineyard that makes my favorite Oregon pinot noir. They have a huge house, with a full drum kit and and...

Damn, I'm tired. Was planning on taking off work today, but for once my sense of duty kicked in. Unfortunately, I had closed down the karaoke bar with some SG peeps, so I didn't get much sleep. Always a pleasure to see Ryan, Hansel, Hippomonki and Dave (I have no idea what Dave'site name is, if he even has one), and I also...
