taswell

Wait a god damn minute...this isn't the dinner car!

And where the hell are my god damn pants!

Saturday night will force me to choose between two different social engagements. I hate that.

Sunday night I hear El Tuff is having some kind of SG function. I might have to bug him about that.

This screen is too small and my brane hurts too much...

I'm told that the powers that be have decided to let me keep my job. I'm so stoked that I decided to take all next week off. Happy Electrician's Day, everyone!

Gobble this obelisk!

Ahh, the threat of layoffs. They come as regular as the seasons. I've lost count a while ago, but I think this is about the fifth wave of layoffs that I've been faced with during my tenure at this job. There's always a thick layer of apprehension around the office during these times. Everyone likes to try to play it off like they're not worried,...

FUCK YOU PARTY CLOWN

You know what I hate? People that are happy and contented with their lives. People who love and are loved by people that mean a lot to them on a regular basis, to the point that they can't contain themselves. People who can maintain meaningful relationships. People that gain great purpose and satisfaction from their jobs. People with an unshakable confidence in themselves. I hate...

We were talking about Spain when he fell on his back and smacked his head against the concrete.

I was talking to a cute Canadian girl about Government-sponsored television the second time he started puking.

We were in a cab on Stanyan and Fulton for the third iteration. I told the driver to pull over, paid him, and we scurried off before he noticed the...

I come prematurely and I don't give a shit.

American fingers.

American lips.

NYE was spent in the woods at the remains of an old hippy commune. Drank gin & tonics out of a ball jar, cheap jug wine straight out the jug. Hugged and was hugged by many old friends, and some brand-spankin' new ones, too. Watched a 17 year old girl empty a...

Got a taste of Fresno's bar scene with the disarmingly nice and entertaining duo of Bunny & Roxanne, and this place really is some rough approximation of hell. But it's also endlessly fascinating to me, in a cultural case study sorta way. I most definitely wouldn't want to live here though; it's 12:23AM, and the only activity I can come up with is to drive...

I'm a stranger in a strange place; Clovis, California. I'm wanting to watch Two Towers sometime later this evening. I don't know anyone in this town, but if any Fresno SGers in the area wanna hook up, drop me an email here. If you're down for getting high beforehand, even better.

Having just watched all three Back to the Futures back to back to back, I can safely say they're still massively entertaining movies, but I feel much more aware of the huge logic holes in all of the time travel ballyhoo in those movies. My roommate kept pointing stuff out...I really just wanted him to shut up.

Ran a couple errands today...yelled at a woman...

I am returned from the familial holiday obligations up north. I feel I covered all my bases really well, gave everyone a little slice of the taswell pie...unfortunately no one asked for it ala mode.

Whatever that means.

I linger in the city tomorrow, then ship out to Fresno. Speaking of lingering, this motherfucking cold is still hanging around.

Hmm. Motherfucker. I really love that...
