i'm getting ready to go to Philly on Thursday. yesterday i had a quick bloody mary, my new drink: boodles and tonic, and a few glasses of an ok chianti. then i watched a james bond flick and passed the fuck out.

my bandmate found a new practice space. in a wine warehouse. you've got to be kidding me.

i'm reading huysmans La Bas (down...

The weekend was pretty tame. I spent Friday recovering from Thursday. Saturday I went hiking out at a state park. It was nice and overcast and no one was around for miles. Then Sunday I cooked and watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I found it really disappointing. I finished Barbusse's Hell yesterday as well. It is the story of a man who goes to...

i'm not sure i can describe last night. there was a burlesque show. three naked girls. and a lot of ass spanking. my hand is sore this morning.

i met a girl who cuts hair. she's going to shave me with a straight razor next week.

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....
