Another way this Saturday night could be worse, Tyler tells me in the Impala, is the brown recluse spider. When it bites you, it injects not just a venom but a digestive enzyme or acid that dissolves the tissue around the bite, literally melting your arm or your leg or your face.

Thanks Chuck. Life could be worse.

Edited to add:

Thanks to theWHORE for...

Oh thank holy jeebus christ on a fucking popsicle cross that it finally rained.

I know I'm in the minority here - but I was ready for the rain to come. And I was sick of the weathermen playing with my emotions.

I just noticed the other night that one of the local PDX weathermen has a "Rate the Day" feature where on the evening...

How's everybody been? Okay?

Seems like lots of shit is going down in lots of places, but then I'm hardly the most observant of cats in the best of times.

But I for one, am not going to blame it on Mars being the closest it's been to Earth in 65,000 years or whatever. I'm sorry, but I just do not buy into the whole...

eris:
what about this:

"mars is closest to the earth. everyone is more aggressive than usual. because i know this, i can understand it and act accordingly."

is that still a cop out?

O ye weary traveler, take comfort at the end of your day.

If you happened to be at a Four Seasons Hotel or Resort, and picked up a book of matches while you were there, you'd see a kind of still life on the cover, depicting a smoldering cigar in a crystal ashtray, and a brandy snifter resting serenely on a damask-draped table, with a...

You are as a boat adrift in the ocean whose center mast has snapped off in the storm the night before. You survived the darkness of the storm, yet whatever diety smiled upon you to ensure your safety may have doomed you to waste away slowly in the hot sun. Listless and without direction is often worse than actual hardship. On the horizon I lack direction as well. What shall I do when I finally finish college? Who knows?

Hopefully you'll get that sail back up and find your way. The compass is comewhere. Really.

oh, whoa. thank you, poem. you're the most flattering guardian angel ever biggrin

I think I've pretty solidly located the sources of my internal hostility well overflow.

1a) my lack of employment

2b) my lack of funds that results from the lack of employment

3c) my lack of social interaction - I'm not like Louise - i.e. I WANT to leave the house more than once every six weeks. In fact - how bout TWICE in one week?...

Yeah, I went to the Pirates Cove and Big Daddy said you guys had just left!! What up wit dat?!?!

Oh well, there will be more Thursdays.

Knowing what you want and knowing what prevents your happiness are two of the most useful things in the world. Not knowing how to either get what you want or to eliminate the barrier to happiness is one of the most annoying things. I'm sorry to hear that you've got several itches that you can't find a way to scratch them. Of course, there's always the danger of paralysis through analysis (what an annoyingly new age phrase, eh?), which makes me think of The Shawshank Redemption, as does the "living in fear" quote. One hopes Brookes' solution never seems appropriate.

And I apologize for not showing up at Pirates. I didn't know about it and I'm fifteen hundred miles away, but sorry I couldn't be there. Truly.

With the 2nd person narrative, I understand what you were going for, and it's a noble goal, and some people enjoy it, but it doesn't work for me. Personal taste type thing. No fault of your own.

And, heh, I did wait for the wounds to close before going down on someone.

And how could that brain atrophy with Meph out there?

Hoo-ah! (I know, it sounds way cooler when Al Pacino does it.)

Well this was just an awesome weekend. Popsicles on the porch went well, and I got to meet more people.

Movie-night went well, and I got to meet still more people.

Bowling was cool, and I got cheap new neon bowlin' shoes. And I got to meet MORE people.

I swear, if I...

I'm beginning to learn as I get older that there are no absolutes left in life. Everything is a shade of grey. Nothing is entirely good, or bad. Black or white, etc.

Anything that seems like it has the possibility of being an absolute perhaps just hasn't been around long enough. In time, something else will eclipse it, or beliefs will change and evolve so...

the only thing worse than being sick in my opinion, is to have someone dismiss your sickness as unimportant, or perhaps tell you that you aren't yet sick enough to merit their attention. today I dealt with both. being sick sucks. now I go to sleep, and hopefully, tonight I will actually sleep.

ahhhh welcome back to the normal flow of things y'all.

I don't know why I felt particularly compelled to vent my bile in this forum for the last two entries, but back to the normal journal. Hopefully those kinds of entries will be few and far between - or put somewhere else - or not? Did you like those? Let me know- I can certainly...

just for fun and giggles, another diatribe. But before we get to that, the news.

I had a good day - went and saw a doubleheader of "A Mighty Wind" and "Bowling for Columbine" both at cheap theaters. God I love this town. PW's capsule review - both great flicks, if you haven't seen 'em, do so. Now. I've got a bit of a headache...

re: i'd call you except
a. i've been busy
b. the message you left me with your cell number was ridiculous.

i did get your last voicemail though.
