Not even 10am on a rainy, scuzzy Wednesday, and here I am, up, about, and having breakfast. I managed to get up to take my pointless final at 9, at which point I was informed I have drive all the way back out to class at 1 and then at 6. I could still be asleep.
At least my apartment is clean and I have a steaming cup of Yerba Mate and some toast., which the cat is currently trying to steal right in front of me.
I really haven't had time to log on much at all lately, mostly due to having a kickass girlfriend to keep me occupied.
She's in Durham, NC for her spring break, but she's coming back tonight, hopefully. I tire of her being gone.
I watched Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence the other night, and I was thoroughly impressed. It's as good or better than the original.
Does anyone know a good place to get a digital camera's screen repaired? The insides still work, but the LCD is cracked.
I quit my stupid job at the liquor store!!!
Woo-hoo!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately I am now unemployed and my funds are diminishing rapidly, but I can't get a new job until I have and recover from my hernia surgery, which isn't for two weeks. Here's hoping I don't starve.
I'm loopy on cough syrup!

Man, I haven't been online much at all lately. Between school, work, and my girlfriend, I don't really have time for much else.
Thanks to everyone who left me birthday wishes!
Look at this, I made a lamp out of a traffic signal I found. I rewired the inside and put in a seperate switch for each light. The parts cost me around $25, and I think it's worth it. It only took me a couple of hours.
I've been commissioned to weld a medium-sized garden sculpture for a friend's parents. They want some kind of animal made out of scrap metal, my favorite subject and medium.
Vertical MIG's been giving me trouble in school. If you know what that is, you probably know what I mean.
Ok, this is really fucked up. My girl was driving to my place the other night and was only a block away when a mob of children threw a brick through her rear passenger window. Needless to say, she nearly had a heart attack and cursed their children's children. We called to po-po, but they were no help at all, as usual. Ah, Savannah.....
Ok, I'm going to fry some eggplant, get stoned, and draw until I pass out.
Laters!

Why?!
Why did I go out last night? I never go out any more.
I woke up with a headache, the shakes, wet clothes, and a big hole in my hand that apparently leaked blood all over me, my clothes, and my sheets. I'm just glad I got my bike inside before I passed out.
Jesus.

I just got back from the Sentient Bean where they were showing Tom Waits' Big Time, a movie mostly of a concert he did in the mid eighties. The picture was fucked up for part of it, but it was pretty cool to watch his stage presence. He reminded me a bit of Cab Calloway.
All my houseplants are growing like crazy, even though they're all inside for the winter.
I made some kickass hummus yesterday, and I've been overindulging in it ever since.
Girl has been swamped with homework, so I've been mostly helping her out and cooking meals in my spare time, but I don't really mind. The weekend will be nice, though.
I have all these great project ideas for furniture and sculptures that I could sell, but I need money for the materials. The gas cylinders for my oxycutter are $140 alone. Damn this life.
Beer it is, then!
I am now addicted to Harry Potter books. 
I like Russian radio.
Houseguests are fun, but also a pain in the ass.
All my dishes are clean.
I'll be having polenta for dinner.
I miss my dvds.
Slide is asleep.
Shiraz is a good thing.
Netflix is kind of pissing me off.
I bit my cheek.
My asparagus fern has come back to life.
I need a vcr.
Deth rocks!

Damn, I love Sundays.
We stayed up until six coloring with crayons, then slept until three.
Despite my best efforts to accomplish absolutely nothing today, I have managed to finish The Long, Dark Tea Time of the Soul, have some coffee, and get a few groceries.
Douglas Adams' writing pleases me greatly, I wish I could have met him.
I have a Dukes of Hazzard coloring book and you don't.
Food!

Burglarized!
Some fuck came into my apartment and stole all my dvds.
Bastard.
He didn't seem to want Betty Boop Futurama, or Blade Runner.
I got lucky, though, he left my computer, bike, and liquor alone.
I'm still pissed.
Now I can't go to class until I get new keys, since it goes without saying I'm not leaving the place unlocked.
It should be funny when he tries to sell Birth of a Nation in the ghetto.
I can't really see much of a market around here for Koyaanisqatsi or Silent Horror Classics, either.
Something tells me I'll never see my Short Circuit or Ernest Goes to Camp again, though.
I did get to see a forensics guy in action at two in the morning, but I'd rather have my stuff back.
At least he left Futurama.

Classes start again!
Girl is sick.
I have lots of food and no money.
Slide is chewing on paper.
I'm gonig to New Orleans soon, hopefully for my birthday!
Ok, I'm off to ride my bike, hurrah!
New Year's was interesting, downtown sucked drunken, disgusting ass, so Hannah and I booked it and sat up on the roof of a Unitarian church. The Unitarians ended up inviting us in to play drinking games with them. There were no big fireworks, but people were firing their guns into the air all over the city. It was rather surreal.
I have finally broken down and purchased a cell phone. I think I'm the last person in the world to get one. The last person I know, anyway. It's a fiesty little one, but it'll soon learn some respect.
I founs a kickass portable typewriter at Goodwill yesterday for fifteen bucks. I already have one, so I think I'll give it to Hannah for a late xmas present. I also talked my boss into selling me a bike a shoplifter left behind for cheap. I'm going to repaint it and fix it up, then give it to Hannah for her birthday.
I think I need a haircut, but I'm tempted to see how long I can grow it before people start complaining. At the moment, I can wrap my longest bit around my tongue bar and pull it into my mouth. This is about the longest it has ever been.
Ok, I'm bored. Laters!

I'm back from cold, rainy Florida!
It was a long, trafficy drive, but I'm finally home.
I finally have a digital camera!
I'll put some new pics up soon.
I hope everyone had a good Xmas, and I'm looking forward to New Year's, even if I do have to work early the next morning. Seriously, who's going to be in the liquor store at nine AM Jan. 1st?
