ok so:

a) when you're drunk and hungry after an awesome burlesque show, don't go to best of thai noodle on haight right before closing time, because they will cook your food on a meaty grill and make you sick for days. oh if only i could learn to enjoy feeling like i'm being punched in the stomach 24 hours a day, then it wouldn't be so bad.

b) if you see a really cute video with a ukulele soundtrack, and it makes you want to buy a ukulele, don't bother. the intonation on ukes, as it turns out, is too sensitive to survive being restrung lefty, so instead of dulcet tones you get frets that don't make the notes they're supposed to. goddamn it. all i wanted to do was pass some time learning a new instrument while i'm sick. is that too much to ask?

c) never look at your bank account and make a reasonable decision based off of financial goals when considering whether to buy plane tickets to vancouver or not. you will inevitably realize that although you're slightly ahead of your projections, paying $600 to cross the border (as opposed to $200 to go to LA or NYC and back) will drive you into credit card spending, and that's imprudent. prudence is, despite its usual feminine association, my middle name.

so in short: i'm sick as fuck, my new toy doesn't work, and i had to cancel my trip to vancouver. fuck.

if anyone needs me i'll be moping around and losing at yahoo pool.

Aww, treacle. Learn the samisen, I would if I was musical.

Look, how can you not want to.

I wish I could take credit for those porn images with stuff drawn over them, but alas they are not mine. Those are just the ones I have collected.

PS- I have a little crush on you.

HOLY CRAP
that 4chan link u posted on Qwertys blog was totally what I was looking at yesterday. That thread is EPIC. It will never die.

EDIT: Check out this thread.

And more specifically this abomination that claims to part of things and then goes and douches everything. Then read my response.

but on the positive side.... maybe you can get really fucking good at the ukulele while you're recuperating, then play it on the street for tips and eventually make enough to buy your plane ticket to vancouver!

aww, bummer about the incompatibility of the ukulele and your left pawed-ness. i guess it would probably cost a lot to get one custom made.

hope things are looking up for you now, friend.

Thanks for posting the "Wobbly Charlie" video - it is quite possibly the best thing I've seen so far this year, and reminded me how much I love my cats...and Charlie of course! smile

You know the first thing I thought of when I saw the reaction to my bridge building comment was, "oh, I almost forgot where I was."

Luckily I didn't make any aimbotting Korean jokes after the VTech massacre.

Also, I have noticed how ridiculous the border crossing tax is. Any time I've looked into going to Toronto it's always cheaper to fly into Buffalo and drive across, hell even cab across. I know Vancouverites often bus or train down to Seattle and fly out from there, so I imagine it goes both ways.

A flight from Portland to Vancouver is more expensive than a flight from Portland to Miami. And it's not like this is an unusual flight, PDX is used as a connecting hub to Vancouver anyway; it should be $69 not $394.

And finally, some words of inspiration: don't let your southpaw get you down, if you put your mind to it, you can totally be the Jimi Hendrix of the ukelele.

Dude! My friends have a dog just like Charlie with the same kind of issue. His name is Jack the jacked up Jack Russel Terrier but he is the best freaking dog in the world to play with. His back legs would run faster then his front legs when you got him really excited and we would set up toy bowling pins in the kitchen that he would love to run into and knock down.

Oh, and the words Thai and drunk never ever go well together (almost dry heaves at the thought).
