In which your intrepid narrator will be Out Of The Office. I’ve been telling everyone I’m going to New York for about four years. This year, I SWORE I’d get there NO MATTER WHAT… but then I changed jobs and thought, well, the job change was all for the good, but I bet I won’t […]
In which this is a very special OMG SO MUCH FAMILY edition. Friday after work I jogged home and took a 3-minute shower. The boys picked me up in the band van at 6:30 and we drove to an RV park in Wallula to play the opening night of a biker rally. When we arrived, […]
In which I’m a little worried about my instrument. I’m playing the Rally In The Valley – a biker rally, natch – tomorrow night. Outside. At night. It will most likely be both damp and chilly: not good conditions for a weak voice. Then I’m supposed to play a chichi benefit gig on Saturday afternoon […]
In which this is what I did with myself on my three-day weekend. Thursday I went out and, inexplicably, got drunk after band practice. I think the sober dude who was driving me around – to three different bars – might have been hoping I’d get drunk enough to lay him, but I’m old and […]
In which I post about my life on Facebook, because the Internet is self-reflective like that. I don’t know if it’s The CurseTM coming or I’ve just used up the day’s compassion for sloppy thinking, but when I logged into Facebook and saw the utterly meaningless meme traveling through it, I got a little worked […]
In which I realize something about my generation. We distrust success. Dear Starbucks, Back when you were the new guy, we were super into you. We drank your coffee by the gallon. We drove out of our way to stop at your new stores on our way to work. Then time passed, and you became […]
In which I’m planning my weekends. I agreed to work 5 hours tomorrow from 8 to 1, so I’ll not be going out tonight. (Not that I would have been anyway; I just wanted to sound like I have choices!) I’m thinking of watching Mad Men (season 1, episode 7) and doing some knitting for […]
I don’t like TV. There are shows on TV that I enjoy, yes, but overall TV is crass and evil and fills your head with shit. It is a waste of time. While I’ve been known to veg in front of the glass teat myself, it’s a diversion for me and not a lifestyle. TV makes you complacent, stupid, and greedy, and while it does so it systematically makes you think you’re cleverer than you really are while simultaneously undermining your self-confidence. Fuck TV. People who watch too much TV are voluntarily crippling themselves.
In which there are two lists. And pictures. And a lot of colons. I love using colons. These are the things I DID NOT do over the weekend: Get laid, get wasted, have an epiphany, knit, buy a bike, eat Mexican food, do yoga. These are the things I DID do over the weekend: Friday, […]
In which I’m bugging people I don’t even know. I want to see this film. A lot. Unfortunately, you gotta be an organization to get a copy – DVDs for individuals aren’t for sale yet. So I bugged Sheila over at the paper, and she gave me the names of some unsuspecting progressive people in […]
