Why is it that I'm surrounded by idiocy whenever I go to an airport?
Apparently the company that runs the bus I was supposed to take no longer exists, even though their name is on all the schedules, in big bright letters. It isn't on the bus though, which now looks exactly the same as all the others. You think this could lead to a... Read More
Tomorrow morning I get to hop on the ol' bus to go up to the wedding. Funny, I don't have a place to stay tomorrow night, so I may be sleeping on a park bench somewheres the night before I'm in my friends wedding. I'm sure he'd appreciate that.
My landlord is over here again, fixing the infamous hole in the ceiling. He's gotta be... Read More
Today I have to catch up on all the preparations for this silly wedding, since I've been putting it off for about six months or so. I'm never getting married and putting anyone through this bullshit.
Oh well, at least I get to wear my bullfighter tie!
I picked up a new pair of boots today, finally. Cheap, too! My feets are gonna thank me!... Read More
I got to hang out with my neighbor's cat yesterday. Not the crazy neighbor, she's outta here. I've met the cat before, but it's been a while. So I was outside waiting for a friend when the cat saw me from across the street and sauntered over for me to pet her. I still think it's great how she crosses the street with impunity, even...

jesus christ a 199? where were you bowling? by coincidence me and mine were bowling at diversey rock n bowl an excellent bowling venue. if i could bowl 199 i could die a happy man. outta two games noone in my party broke 100 though we came close. whats the secret? dont even suggest the "one leg behind the other at the end of your toss" thing. not gonna happen. sorry. yup getting paid to do latin. i feel like its a trap somehow theyre tricking me into thinking latin is th ekey to financial success which it clearly isnt. but its fun as hell. as our dear friend horace says, "non scholae sed vitae discemus"-we learn not for school but for life
Bowling tonight.
My landlord was just over, doing some work on the hole in the ceiling. He's a pretty cool guy; up to now I always just thought of him as a weird old man. I guess it shouldn't surprise me: the weird among us are usually the most entertaining. He knocked our toilet paper into the toilet before I got home, and brought me... Read More
wow you STILL have a hole in your ceiling? that can't be safe. yes the weird ones are the best, unless it's creepy "get away from me with that ax" weird.
I made the mistake of not thinking of something to do today, and now I'm at a loss. I think I'll just wander around and probably end up at the ol' coffee shop.
Idea! I'm gonna STUDY LATIN!
vita bona est
update: That really hit the spot. The Latin has been missing from my life lately, and that's no good. I sure do love me... Read More
Yesterday was a ton of fun. The Cubs game wasn't so great, but the company made up for it. It was nice to see some old chums again.
Lots of drinking, which was fun as well, but it's time to take a break now. Thankfully I was smart enough to not get incapacitated, even though I did close a 4am bar for the first time... Read More
english + spanish. in september, i start russian classes. i am also slowly teaching myself catalan and portuguese. so i'm a lame polyglot, but i'm getting better.
Time to do some marathon housecleaning/tidying so tomorrow's guests don't realize what a slob I am! I must deceive them!
Other than that, I really have no idea what to do with myself today.
There's a Crunchy Peanut too?? Man, Cash Grocer is holding back on me. They're so much better than any other store around but...I mean, they're slacking.
*cries*
