Molly made sure to come back for Jazz Fest. Shes gained some weight, probably an inevitability considering her service stint in Idaho, home of high starch content and cold weather. Based on her description, Idaho is a godforsaken land where the only consolation lies in either calorie consumption or joining a militia. Shes gained some weight, but she wears it well.

Shes also mellowed out...

Its seven in the morning. The gate to the apartment complex that I live in (two houses, actually, carved into ten apartments) whines with rust and crashes closed as people either return home from bars or head off to work.

Im still hung over, but not severely, not anymore. The full-body ache is gone. The headache is draining, if slowly.

The kitchen is overrun with...

I popped my head up over the cube wall and yelled "Hey! Donald! Lili's up to a Level 4!"

Donald has six children. The logistics of packing for and moving six children out of the way of Mother Nature must be staggering. He left early that day.

Immediately the subcurrent of anticipation and dread that a hurricane brings jumped up a few volts. A few...

The jukebox suddenly leapt into an old Elvis Costello song - Goon Squad, from the album Armed Forces - and the bartender punched the wall. I didn't see what he hit but it must've been the kill switch. The jukebox shut down. The President was on.

I swore that I would have a scotch on rocks in my hand when the President announced the start...

Somehow I've found it again.

I don't know what it was - the raging party on Saturday, the impending war, the fact that I've broken free from the work-sleep-work cycle for the past few months, all the experiences, all the people - hell, maybe it's this damn Ted Leo CD that I can't stop spinning - but I! am! writing! again! and it feels good....

Duty demands that I follow my, how do you say, bidaily? bidiurnal? update schedule, but I can say little. I am far too busy for a full update.

Tonight is 6 hours working as a roadie for the Mooney Suzuki / Raveonettes show. Then it's home, four hours of sleep, and then up again to sweep and clean my room and prepare for a large...

I noticed Yvette plaing with the chain around her neck, she's the sort who prefers just an edge of chrome to her metal so this was nothing new. Later she took it off and said, here, see : engraved on the medallion was her nickname. Evilette. This is all you need to know about Yvette.

We were sitting around a table discussing exactly how we...

Jessica is wise even if she doesnt always seem to know it or even if she doesnt follow her own advice all the time. Ive never been able to talk to her outside of a social setting or even while sober but Im familiar with her. I think she is wise because she writes. She makes herself write. She does so often, and she does...

i went there yesterday and it was fun, i would have said lets meet somewhere, but it was really more for my friend jay to visit new orleans (hes never been) so i really didnt want to make the trip about me.

it may have seemed like i was disparaging the golden loveliness that is deep-frying, but i would never desecrate the culinary traditions of the South wink Especially when it gives us such things as krispy kremes and kfc wink

Lori was kind enough to let me into the building today. She had to work long hours but so does everyone.

She was endlessly fussing with her hair, the fog outside makes every hairstyle not reinforced with wax and egg whites go limp. She's checking and rechecking every piece fo clothing she has for lint or stains, retouching her makeup like an obsessive-compulsive beauty queen....

Theres a point in sleep depravation where your head hurts and your eyes are coated with fatigue but you cant sleep. You cant. Thats where I am right now. Cant sleep.

Hortons hair is red. This took us all by surprise.

Hed been shaving his head for the past ten years. Ive only known him for a half year but even for me it came...

that's a lotta drinks.

i watched "prez"'s speech for about thirty seconds, and when he started lying about how his job is to protect the constitution and that's what he does, i turned it off. probably closer to 20 seconds.

get some sleep, and drink lotsa water!
