Bitching about the heat

(note: if you don’t get the title, click here, scroll to the 4th song, listen to it, then click here and buy my album, for fuck’s sake. thank you.) The weather here is schitzophrenic. It’s 76 in Chicago right now, almost midnight, according to the little weather bug on my computer. It was eightysomething today, ...

I don’t know

Some days I feel like I really don’t know anything. I feel as if don’t know how to communicate with humans on a fairly basic level, since several times in the last few months I have said something that I thought was fairly clear, and the person I have been talking to thinks I’m saying ...

My couch has an umlaut

“It’s like bed, bath, and WAY beyond…” – Eddy Ameen, on Ikea. So Conci and Marc moved out today, which created a minor problem in that they owned all of our living room furniture. After some pleading, cajoling, prodding, and explaining the long term benefits of buying me furniture now, I managed to convince my ...

Busting Blocks

So I decided to quit Blockbuster. I gave the manager my two weeks’ notice tonight. It’s not really a bad job. All you have to know how to do is work a cash register and alphabetize things. And be able to deal with extreme stupidity: me: I’m sorry, this coupon expired January 31st. girl: But ...

The return of quality cinema

A commercial for The Scorpion King, the new movie starring professional wrestler The Rock came on while I was watching TV this afternoon. You know this is going to be a major feat of film with lines such as: THE ROCK: I’m here for the girl…and your HEAD! I’m smelling what The Rock is cooking. ...

I am away from my sanity right now

Despite the fact that I only got 44% on the IM Addict Quiz, I am terribly addicted to Instant Messenger. Why, why, why do I spend so much time: 1. composing away messages? 2. reading other people’s away messages? I think #2 probably has a lot to do with #1 since I feel that if ...

On the bandwagon

Well, I guess this is my first post. I wish I could think of something more entertaining to put up here, but I’m too hungry.
