goblinbox

gobbie

n., slang. Any kind of device (computer, PDA, cell phone, GameBoy, iPod, or television) that relentlessly sucks up all of your time and attention. If you're reading this, you're utilizing a goblinbox right now. You might even have a S.O. who wishes you weren't pasted to the goblinbox who's hollering, "Turn off that blasted goblinbox and come to bed this very instant!"

Let’s Party! Okay, Let’s Not Party. That’s Cool, Too.

In which I relate the story of my not-terribly-exciting Friday night.

Last night, I worked until ten and then went to see C- play drums over at Pub 21 (which is basically not a new venue, but just the name of the stage they’ve put in over at Merchant’s Deli).

I sat in on the band’s second-to-last song and belted out a blues chart. (S- got video of it that I’ll link to later.)

During the last song, I danced with a drunk guy. He fell down. He said, “Holy shit, dancin’ with the fuckin’ singer. Mlubblumbummurrph.” Then he spent 24 bars trying to chest bump with me. I said, “This is blues. Moshing isn’t really appropriate.” He said, “Mlubblumbummurrph.”

Then the gig was over and the joint cleared out quick and I stood in the parking lot and talked to L- about her obnoxious and painful ovarian cysts. Poor girl’s about to start major estrogen therapy next week, and she’s barely into her twenties.

Since it was only quarter after eleven, I drove over to Issacs street. The BK Lounge provided me with a Whopper with cheese, no meat (which apparently contains 600 calories even without the meat). The PnE provided me with companionship – there were maybe four people there, including the staff – and a couple of cocktails.

I was in bed by one in the morning… and boy I was pissed off when my alarm went off at nine o’clock this morning! Gah! (Not half as pissed as I’ll be when it goes off at SEVEN tomorrow, though.)

A- dropped by the office early this afternoon to print something, and called me sweetie and rubbed my shoulders. I could just eat that kid up with a spoon. Srsly.

    Reading “eat up that kid with a spoon” made me soooo hungry for a bowl of muesli.
