a little pool. a lot of drinking. went carousing with a good friend that i don't hang out with that often. he usually gets out of control, but i bailed before that could happen. haven't heard from him this morning, so hopefully he didn't lose his car and clothes again.

i have a lunch meeting to discuss recording my album. fire up the lacie drives.

i was still recovering from the night before, so last night i lounged around. instead of the squid ink scallop linguini i was going to make, i just had grilled cheese and cambell's tomato soup. i'd forgotten how good that combination is. to balance out the comfort food i also drank a really good bottle of bordeaux. then i finished off the night by reading...

yesterday i finally went to the fitness club. it felt great to sweat. maybe a little too great, because an evening that was supposed to just be a cocktail after work turned into a regular bar-hopping extravaganza. still, i was home fairly early. today i'm reading roger schattuck's book on Proust. i'm still avoiding swinburne and flaubert. i have trouble reading verse. or plays.

the weekend was unusually quiet. i put up plastic over my windows as an attempt at insulating my very old and drafty apartment. i was expecting a long, perilous battle with the plasctic material but it ended up being easy.

then on saturday i spent the day reading baudeliare and writing some. it was nice to get up on a saturday and go to a...

another night of debauchery. it started out early with a few shots after work with my favorite bartender. then on to the opening--which i thought i was going to miss-- of this french restaraunt/wine bar. the place seems ok enough. after a few more drinks and shots i started to make an ass of myself. i won't go into it. five bars and a strip...

tonight i'm missing a 'friends&family' grand opening for a great new little french restaurant/wine bar. as a consolating i will shave my head. and winterize my flat. and eat some good indian curry. last night i went on a wine shopping spree. i decided i'd just go to the wine market and buy 10 bottles instead of fucking around with the liquor stores near me....

last night i went grocery shopping. read a tiny bit more of de quincy. makes me want to be drunk on opium. got myself a ticket to philly, finally.

a night out. complete debauchery. and someone had a camera.

this weekend i had to attend the Arts Ball, a black tie event held in a different grand location each year. unfortunately, this year it was held at a new fitness club. it was full of grey men with enlarged prostates and 40 something women with fake tits. i drank champagne and chatted as best i could. i also watched sin city-- i thought it...

i'm trying to get off early to go on a stroll with my friend and his baby. but i have a 1-3 o'clock meeting. on a friday of all days. i attempted to watch Mists of Avalon (don't ask) last night. thank god angelica was saved from TNT b movies by wes anderson. poor thing, what would have happened to her otherwise. maybe wes was...

last night i searched unsuccessfully for my old passport. i now have to do some extra something to report the old one missing. i did, however, find my lock-box key--which i already had drilled a couple of weeks ago. i'm trying to decide whether i should go to My Morning Jacket on Friday in Madison and Broadcast in Chicago on the 4th. Maybe Echo and...

it's a been a few dull, grey, days now. i hit the usual watering hole after work and narrowly escaped a night out. instead, i watched the great gatsby (fell asleep). today is a work day. tonight i have to look for my old passport so i can finally leave the countrythis Winter. If I don't find it, it's off to palm springs-- which is...
