I'm getting drunk(ish) and packing some shit up. Moving to a new place in a few weeks, so I figur'd I'd see what kind of crap I have at my storage facility. Pilfering through your own old nick nacks is an excellent way to avoid working out and a perfect excuse to add a touch more Bailey's to your coffee than you would on a...

Apparently I fell asleep today when Tom was working on my right-sleeve.

Being established and a fucking fantastic artist, Tom is usually booked solid, weeks in advance. Most of his clientele are works-in-progress like myself. It is my understanding that Tom usually doesn't bother with walk-ins. His step-son and the shop apprentices, however, take care of any/all/most of the walk-in traffic the shop receives.

I'm...

I spent over 10 hours this weekend at the office, trying desperately to stay on top of my current backlog.

My predecessor was amazing when she left the job. Not only did she neglect to instruct me on the how-to's and why-for's necessary to perform a number of difficult tasks, she also managed to drop about a month's worth of outdated, backlogged requests directly in...

While I understand that Bob Barker is all the pimp we'll ever need, what I fail to understand is how she can continue listening to the P.I.R. at her desk every single day.


It's just after 7:00a.m. Saturday and I'm heading into the office.

Historically, my team has comprised of four members. This number does not include our Lead. Said Lead is never seen. So......

Huzzah!

As of Saturday morning the sleeves of my Tengu wings will no longer consist solely of ginormous, hideous outlines. This makes me all manner of excited.

I gotta admit - in all seriousness - that It'll be weird seeing something other than an outline going down my arms. This is certainly true of my right arm. Crawling over my left bicep, almost down to...

Last night I was particularly bored so I decided to make a fresh 5-gallon carboy of mead.

A brewer friend called me up earlier this past week, all manner of excited. Said he'd read about some cat who'd brewed an especially tasty ginger mead. He went on to brew his first batch that night.

Well, damned if my buddy didn't plant that seed in ma'...

I'm fairly certain I just sent an E-mail to my boss which made mention of pedophilic homosexual rape as it relates to apartment rental properties.

I'm not sure what I was aiming at with that E-mail, but rest assured today is going to be an amazing one at my office.


I really need to stop drinking with Miike on weeknights. Nothing good will come of...

If I were a superhero, my super power would have to be my uncanny ability to destroy computer hard drives. No... no, that's not it at all. Saying that I am known for my talent at killing hard drives does not do my skills justice.

I am known throughout the free world as the motherfuckin' slayer of hard drives.

As such, I've lost many, many...

The most recent time I visited my friends, Ron and I got thoroughly inebriated off some really cheap rum. He figur'd the most sure-fire way of besting me in some 8-bit Nintendo Joust was if I was three sheets to the wind. I'd say that his plan worked well. Kid mopped the floor with my arse.

I clearly remember Ron crashing early that evening, as...
