I saw lillitatiana again last night at an art opening at a friend's gallery. I can't drink right now, so it's a little weird to be surrounded by people who are. I had fun, but sometimes it's just boring. It's funny how you notice things you wouldn't if you were drinking.

Thursday, I went to Footsie's to meet some friend's after work. I had a couple club sodas. Courtney Gains was there, the guy that played Malakai in Stephen King's the Children of the Corn. Marijuana is not a social drug.

How'm I supposed to get laid when conversations about my kidney stones keep coming up?

My friend was complaining about sleeping with girls half his age and wants me & other friends to stop him in the future. I might sock him in the schnozz. Don't wanna hear it.

I replaced the clutch cable on my motorcycle, which snapped in the middle of the parking lot of the Empire Center, a huge mall near work. It's full of stop signs. It was a blast making it back to work while power shifting. It's good to be riding again. Parking & gas with the van are too much to deal with.

I'm halfway through a painting I'm doing for my sister's new house. It's an 11x15. It feels good to be doing some graphic art again. I haven't done any for so long. Like ten years. I was surprised that my watercolors were still good. I'm hoping I can finish it this week.

Well, I've got to change a guitar string and run off to practice. Can't wait until Cinco de Mayo, that's when I go to the hospital and get this thing blasted out of me.
