I stayed home yesterday in bed, hence no post I finally tore down the plastic on the front room windows and felt the warm spring breeze. I watched Bound, the first wachowski bro film. I thought it would be better.

The weekend invovled a lot of grilling. Grilling and driving a black Dodge Avenger. Silly car, but fun.

I also dyed easter eggs.

Friday I went to my fav bar after work and hung out with my good friend Tom (who I hadn't seen in weeks). I was in bed by 10:30. But the upside is it is a beautiful day today and I feel much better--

I have to work briefly this morning but then I'm off to a coffee shop to read. Hopefully I can finish...

Yesterday was pretty rough. I spent the day running around and then ended up with a killer headache (the kind that makes you nearly blind). I went home early and had a few drinks and felt better by late evening. I ended up making it to the Gogol Bordello show afterall. They were funny. The show was good people watching.

I've been reading Goethe's Elective...

Hopefully today goes a little better.

I woke up knowing this would be a bad day. I was already in a foul mood. Sure enough, the phone calls started pouring in and it was a state of emergency less than an hour later. Now I have so many fires burning I am updating this instead of even dealing with them. Viva Wednesday.

ok, lovelies. i'm high on caffeine so hold on.

i did an awful thing last night: i watched Elektra. The bad woman with the killer breath? yeah, she was a good metaphor for the entire film. but it entertained me well enough.

i was supposed to play tennis today with a friend but i'm feigning business (which is almost true). here's the trouble: i have...

Friday night I went to a national lawyers guild party/fundraiser. It was at my old friend Esch's house and it was good to see him. I used to hang out with him years ago, but we've drifted apart since. My friend Breggin, who owns a bar and is thus busy most weekends, managed to sneak away and join me and we jabbered on drunkenly about...

I've been so fricken busy at work all week and it just isn't letting up. I need the weekend!

I stayed in last night drinking wine and reading. It is going to be 67 degrees here today and I am going to declare a work emergency in order to make it outside. Maybe I'll pull the fire alarm.

I really need a new car. I think I'm going to get a lexus. Because they are still almost cool enough and they're Japanese and therefore...

i've been reading orhan pamuk's Snow. I picked it up just to have something easy to read on the bus, but now I'm completely enthralled with it. The writing is awful-- translated from Turkish-- but the characters are vibrant and unstrained. The book follows a journalist to the remote city of kars where he is trying to find out why young girls are committing suicide....
