You know what's surprisingly good? Now, I'm the last person to recommend McDonalds, but — their strawberry / yogurt parfait is surprisingly good. Sure, it's pretty small, but it's just a buck. And what's a buck these days? And "parfait" is the coolest word ever. Maybe I'll go register sexparfait.com.

I am a little depressed today due to a (fairly minor) medical condition that had slumbered for nigh-on two years rearing its ugly head. Dang.

I met the friend of a friend yesterday. Two things set alarm bells ringing: first, the I-shall-crush-your-hand handshake. Why do so many guys do that? Second was the polo shirt. Solid color. With a logo. At the restaurant we...

I recommend you all take a look at Siv's candids. They are very well-done and pleasing to the eye.

It's lame to bring up a movie just to say how bad you thought it was, but when it's been, like, #1 for weeks on end all over the world and then you sit down to enjoy it and it's a piece of poo,...

freyja has pointed out just how crap I am at updating my journal. Sometimes, I just don't have a lot to say, you know?

Songs stuck in my head today:
Thank you for Hearing Me -- you know, that annoying as fuck phone ad.
Ode to Cereal #47 by Y.T.
Folgers (techno remix by Y.T.) by ???
Eple by Royskpp

Today I temped a big...

I just finished reading You Shall Know Our Velocity by Dave Eggers, former editor of the totally excellent MIGHT Magazine, and author of bestseller A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. I didn't like AHWoSG so much; it was just so so so very very self-conscious. In a clever way, but still. This newer book is fiction.

It's about three close friends: Jack, Hand,...

If you google "hitting the 57", the first link is the Museum of Menstruation, who have added it to their lexicon.

Now, go to this thread, and ask me what "updog" is. Bump, set, spike!

Edit: No, no, you've got to ask me in the thread!

Edit2: Thanks, French Fries. Here is your reward. Request rescinded.

I am returned from our 1-week Californian vacation. Friends, family, etc. We had a very good time. You know, the San Francisco Bay Area is very beautiful.

I now have my very own Jim Ether doll. It's beautiful. I must photograph it.

Nothing more to say right now. I'll reintegrate myself back in to SG soon enough, but I'm a little busy. Thanks for...

I just got back from OleDirtySketchyB's Lounge Arcade party. Good stuff. Ran into Neon and her friend. Played some Tetris. I don't know about you, but Tetris puts my mind in a calmer state than any attempts at meditation ever have. Studies must be performed!

Once back home, I poured myself a nice big drinky and connected to our shiny new SGCHAT in the...

Many thanks to alla yas for your condolences on the play cancellation. We held the wake last night. Damn but it was such a great cast. Not just in terms of skill, but everyone got along so well. This is, as I understand it, fairly rare.

It looks like we'll be going to San Francisco next week! Leaving Thursday, coming back the one after. Sadly,...

I'd like to discuss NECK FACE with you. Around my latitude of Manhattan, I keep seeing graffiti that include the words "NECK FACE". The images are often doodles of y-fronts, gaping mouths (always with eight teeth, each tooth containing a letter), and hairy legs. And sometimes a quotation, though the only one I can remember is "God owes me money". Even with my best...
