8:43 pm - how i met your mother?
|
I think that's what it's called.
Funny show--good cast. It's got Allison Hannigan and Doogie Howser and the tall guy who played "Nick Andopolis" on "Freaks and Geeks." and it's funny. Neal Patrick Harris (doogie)plays a jackass. There's alcohol involved! And it's just funny. I'm watching CBS.

10:50 am - hi this world sucks yeah?
|
i don't post here that much. no particular reason. but instead of throwing my computer across the room i'm just going to vent. i can't afford a new computer.
i read this morning that there exists a "trophy" video made by contractors in Iraq. this video was made by and of people who apparently work for private security companies, probably based in the UK. in it, these contractors--who could also be accurately described as mercenaries--open fire on Iraqi civilians, taking out their automobiles. that the video is set to Elvis Presley's "Mystery Train" adds to inklings that the video was made for fun.
so what the fuck is this war about. so fucking lame. violence is so fucking lame. those who laugh at the notion of world peace are so fucking lame. i don't want to write no more.

2:50 pm - halloween weekend was a blast
|
|
There was that club Frday nght, dancng to one of the worst house dj's in San Francsco, that was fun. Then there was Angela's Anmal Party on Saturday nght, rockng out lke an elephant in my lvng room, also very fun. And then last nght there was the sickest gathering of costumed partygoers of all types, working it hard on BART, on the streets of SF, and again on the BART ride home. I was wicked drunk, stupid stoned, and thankfully I didn't send the alcohol back up till I got home. Wow, was a night. If I can help it I'm never missing the Castro Party again

2:30 am - haiku of my life
|
i need a bowl or
some other way to get sleep.
caffiene ruins lives.
adult decisions
should not supercede safety.
i'll be up all night.
noticing a trend
while wishing i saved that roach:
all i say is: "drugs"
time off is time spent
spending money from time on.
i have two days off.

9:55 pm - family
|
Tomorrow would be my grandmother's 69th birthday, but she died seven years ago next week. I remember that night, sleeping on my grandparents' family room floor after coming home from the hospital. We hadn't gotten to see Nana that night, but I was too young, too immature to realize that I wouldn't get to see her again. Five years later, my grandfather would urge my mother to let my brothers and me get out of his hospital room, knowing that the four of us would be uncomfortable and, frankly, bored, at being in the hospital with their sick grandfather. Five years later, still too young and immature, I left the hospital not knowing that I wouldn't get to see my grandfather again.
And both times I felt the pain of the situation vicariously. With Nana, my tears were for my mom, who had lost her mom. My god, that would hurt so bad to lose my mom, and so I cried with her. With Grandpa Joe I didn't cry at all until I saw Josh completely lose it at the funeral. Joe and Josh were both the eldest in a generation of brothers, and the two of them were closer than Joe and me. But of course I could see that Josh was in pain, and I was in pain with him.
--
I think my brothers and I will be close our entire lives. Josh and Jaret don't get along especially well, but that's the only relationship approaching strained at this point in our lives. Jaret and Jed play videogames together for hours a day. For that matter, Josh games with the two of them, too. Me, I love the hell out of all of them.

9:22 pm - awake again
|
|
I fell asleep earlier but I'm awake again; no twenty year old she be asleep before 8:30, so I repent. I'm expecting my dad some time this evening--and in fact I believe I hear him arriving at just this moment. We are to discuss a thought that's been floating around my head, and one I've mentioned aloud a couple of times--moving to Providence. I'm not sure where I'll be at the end of January, but I'm thinking I might as well take a chance. Okay, Dad's here.

Everyday once or more a day I play Danger Mouse's remix of Jay-Z's "Dirt Off Your Shoulder," from Danger Mouse's Grey Album. Seriously, if you haven't had the pleasure, you're missing out. Actually, I've been getting more and more into Jay-Z recently. Mostly that album, yeah, but I pay a tad more attention when I hear that mix w/ Linkin Park.
I have my laundry hanging out back, and I'm at Jaret's right now. What to do: go home, fold laundry, wash linens, lie down, go to work. I have this rut, but I don't mind. I played a lot of fun videogames and I got a good night's sleep. And I'm off...

It's a lazy Sunday afternoon and all around me smells like Febreeze and Irish Spring bar soap. It sounds like Prefuse 73. It looks like a fucking mess. We've got bills and bongs lying around, when both should probably be put into safe, appropriate compartments. A half-eaten cookie and the orange juice I'm working on share my workstation with the computer, some papers, books, colored pencils, some receipts, and--is that an extention cord? A flyer for a Love Parade after-party? We lack organization.
I decided to spend this day doing nothing, though I may ammend "nothing whatsoever" to include "well, I guess I can get a couple cups of coffee." What's on my mind is going to the Baker's Square and throwing back a couple cups of coffee before work. Probably won't happen. I'm one of those types--one task a day is enough, and I already went grocery shopping.
I'm gonna make a sammich. Peace.

1:52 pm - Criminals much?
|
From Dibgy
So, we have a federal probe implicating the president's number one political advisor and the vice president's chief of staff in the violation of laws protecting CIA agents and possibly lying to federal investigators.
We have a multi-pronged investigation into a lobbyist who happens to be a very close associate of Tom DeLay,Grover Norquist, Ralph Reed, Karl Rove and the entire Republican leadership going back to their youth as members of the College republicans. This lobbyist is now implicated in a mafia murder plot and has been arrested on charges affiliated with that crime.
A member of the Bush administration who is a good friend and associate of all of the above was arrested this week for lying to the Feds about his good friend the lobbyist.
The majority leader of the Senate is now officially under investigation by the SEC and federal prosecutors for insider trading involving potentially many millions of dollars.
The majority leader of the House was just indicted by a Texas Grand jury for violating laws prohibiting the use of corporate money in campaigns.
I am so relieved that the Republicans restored honor and integrity to Washington. There hasn't been even one blow job in that town since they took power.

Martin Scorsese's documentary, NO DIRECTION HOME: BOB DYLAN, will air tomorrow night at 9 ET on PBS. (Shit, I just realized I needed to catch the airing tonight, cos I work tomorrow.) Frittered away my post-work afternoon.

I've been listening to a Telefon Tel Aviv song called, "I Lied" on repeat for about forty minutes now. It's a five minute down-tempo beat with strings and a lazy, soothing vocal with this line that I like: "It was something you said. I heard. But I lied." I listen to this song on end whenever I play it all, which is something like once a month. As circumstances dictate, really. It's kinda personal for me at this point. "I meant well, but I didn't know how. Throw all caution to the wind...It's been this way forever; it was sunrise when we started." Ambiguous lyrics I can attach to multiple situations without contriving too hard, and a mellow captivating beat. Works for me.
But enough. Yo La Tengo calls. If that doesn't put me to sleep, then I admit to insomnia.
I've got parties this weekend, friends and drinks, and the new Kanye West at loud volumes in unsupervised, dance-ready environments; and bands and djs I haven't heard, with friends I haven't met yet. All are yelling "COME THE FUCK HERE," in my head.
I so want to sleep.

10:01 pm - MmmmMmmm

I'm doing much better than last evening's melodrama, mostly cos of the kick ass dinner I had. It's so nice to come home to a vegan dinner (including dessert!) and just kick back. Melissa Getz and my Dad are over, the two of them competing with Josh and Angela in Settlers of Catan. I think all but Josh are bored. Actually, Dad still has interest in the game; Harringtons have patience with longwinded games.
One thing that will suck about this evening: I had a latté earlier, so I'll be up late this evening. However: the two peeps I talk to on the phone late at night are unavailable. So: restlessness and videogames later. I wanna get high.
Still, it's been a good day. My computer was fixed (this is the first post from my Inspiron in months), I beat my friend in tennis (kicked his ass, actually), work went well, and there's more cake for later. Rock.
