I never realized how attached I've gotten to that damn bar. It's as full as it ever was with middle aged ethiopian men all over the courtyard mourning the death of the owner. It makes me wonder if they've reopened, but the sign is still up that they're closed. I'm waiting for the night that the regulars come to pay their respects. I find the...

I went to a former cornfield to stalk janitors in an office complex. There was a big building where beefy exjocks edit film of nfl football. I went to the Borders across the street and read magazines. I bought the book of Davy Rothbart short stories and they're so fucking Michigan I can't stand it. I sit in the living room of my comfy home...

I was at McGlinchey's today, and I saw an SG sticker in the bathroom. McGlinchey's is my favorite bar in Philly. It's cheaper than drinking it at home. I subbed at the bar upstairs when I first moved here.

I got shut out of a planning meeting at work today and am really pissed. I might start looking for a different job.

I have this tradition of staying up all night when I'm traveling. On my way here to Puerto Rico, I stayed up all night in New York. Now I'm trying to stay up all night in San Juan in order to catch an early flight. My second wind is coming back to me now. I went to a hipster dance party that I came back...

I'm trying to enjoy my house more rather than go out constantly. I went to my exroomate's sailboat that he lives on last night. We went around the Delaware in an inflatable dinghy. The cops were raiding a parking lot on Delaware Avenue and throwing their beer into the river. The boat people next door were fishing it out and sharing it out with us....

Last night, my housemate and I were at the end of the block waiting for the trolley. Three young kids walked past. One of them said something about me and laughed. I took it in side and asked them wassup. One of the other kids turned to the one laughing and said, "That's not funny. That's Mr. Chris. He lives on the block." Fuckin cool....

Searched & Destroyed
Iggy Pop is being interviewed on Fresh Air. According to my high school newspaper, Iggy Pop and Bob Seger both went to my high school in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I always imagine them kicking each other's asses. They always claim to be from Detroit, but a lot of people from Southeastern Michigan always claim to be from Detroit when they're really not....

I went to a hipster dj night with a friend. Nobody seemed to remember who I was. I fell asleep at some afterparty at somebody's house.

Went to mike straight's 6th annual drunken goth drag birthday party. Didn't drink and felt awkward. Wore some lingerie and tried to seem interesting. There were a lot of naked circus punks walking up and down the street letting off fire works.

I went to a show with the older punks from the barbecue. We were ten years older than 90% of the people there. It was the first time a group of people had invited me to go somewhere. It was fun. I felt better.
