shitty news at work yesterday in that we found out that the rather cozy schedule we've been enjoying of working 3 12-hour days, followed by 4 days off, 3 12s & an 8-hour day followed by 3 days off is coming to an end, to be replaced by 5 8 hour days with 2 days off (in the middle of the week, no less) makes...

wrote a longish entry the other night but when I tried to submit the sumbitch I was told the site was down for a li'l bit & the whole damn thing was lost in the ether. grr.
not much going on--should be cleaning the house or the car or dicking around in the yard--instead swilling coffee, listening to music, smoking, slogging around on the internet....

listening to Steven Jesse Bernstien's "Prison" which I really fucking like. I first heard atrack from it, "No No Man" almost ten years ago on the car stereo of a friend of mine in Cedar City who was a proffessor of Art at the University. I had one hell of a crush on her.
I bought this cd--used--in CC a couple of days ago. things...

today I worked in the P.C. (protective custody), which is pretty much where...

went & saw "Spy Kids 2" tonight--liked it. it was, well, fun. I haven't seen the first installment but I think I'll probably check it out soon.
the theatre (singular) here generally gets films after they've been showing in the rest of the country for a few months, so it was kinda surprising that they were showing something that wasn't on cable already.
for some...

ended up going to the barbeque...erg...it'd been going on for a stretch & most had trickled home by the time I got there. the pig had been mostly consumed except for a paper bag of "bits" next to the actual corpus, which was covered with a shroud of greasy butcherpaper.
sat. drank a Dr. Pepper. smoked. watched the fire for a while. (in this age...
