I want to live without electricity for a good while. I'd like to just sit for a while. And wind down.
This summer, I think I'll have to start fishing.

i would actually love to live without electricity for awhile. My only problem would be refrigeration.

Well I know that for a long time they kept "iceboxes" where a large block of ice was placed inside a special cabinet that would keep some foods cool. (I believe it was on a shelf at the top with a special drainage system for the melting liquid to drain) The blocks of ice could even be delivered for convenience.
Living in Florida sucks because almost any where you need to go you have to drive. So it makes a difference when prices rise. It's around $3.30-$3.40 right now.

I've been watching a lot of movies lately.
We saw Cloverfield today. It was slightly better than I expected given my dislike for JJ Abrams. Though, it was very JJ Abrams-y in my opinion. It was exhausting to watch, which, I guess would be a good thing.
finally also got to see Sunshine (rental). Also incredibly exhausting. The first hour is visual and psychological and...

So I guess they killed Bhutto. Completely fucked up. I can't say I'm surprised... but it's fucked up
I just got out on a short stint in l'hopital again. (hm... I thought I knew how to say "again" in french but I can't recall for the life of me. The internet says it's "de nouveau" but that doesn't sound right to me). Happy holidays indeed....

A wok? Shit yes! I'll have to give you a recipe for garlic chicken (if I can find it). It's good if you like spicy food and assloads of garlic.
As for the hoodie I never really have been a fan. I think it's directly related to my fat sweatyness and constant need to shed layers.

Good to hear you're all-graining. And there is something to be said for simplicity, hell my best batch to date was my least complex grain bill.
I found the recipe I was looking for. It's suited for pairing with a good lager or pale ale.
Garlic Chicken
4 - boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 - egg white
1 - tbls. cornstarch
1 - tbls. dry white wine or sherry
4 - green onions
1 - tsp. minced ginger root
3 - tsp. minced fresh garlic ( more if you like it like I do)
2 - tbls. veg. oil
Hot cooked rice ( I like short grain or jasmine)
Sauce (I like a lot of sauce so I triple this)
1 - tsp. crushed chili paste (sambol oelek) - I use half of the amount, but I'm a pussy.
2 - tsp. sugar
1 - tsp. cornstarch
2 tsp. rice vinegar
1 - tbls. water
2 - tbls. dry white wine
2 - tbls. soy sauce
Directions
Place chicken breast in freezer until firm. Slice crosswise into thin shreds. In small bowl lightly beat egg white, then mix in 1 tbls. cornstarch and 1 tbls. wine, stirring until cornstarch is dissolved. Add chicken and mix well to coat all pieces. Let stand at room temperature 30 min.
Meanwhile, slice green onions on diagonal into very thin slices. Mince ginger-root and garlic. Combine sauce ingredients mixing well. Heat wok, add oil and stir fry chicken until no longer pink. Remove chicken with slotted spoon. Add onions, ginger, and garlic to wok and stir fry about 30 seconds until ginger-root and garlic are fragrant but not brown. Return chicken to wok, re-stir sauce ingredients and add to wok. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture is well combined, hot and bubbly and thickens slightly. Turn off heat and splash with about 1 tsp. of dark sesame oil.
Serve over rice.

I guess I hate Suicidegirls.com. It's hard for me to come here. And when I do, I inevitably end up doing something else IRL.

Amazing. It's the lowest paying of any of the jobs I applied for but it's the one I really wanted because it's in a field I'm interested in. We'll see if that makes a difference. I have never had a job in an area I thought I'd be interested in; I'm still a...

Also, congrats on the job! What kind of thing are you doing? (...I'm an intern, so if your job has a salary then I'm already jealous)

Well, last weekend was probably one of the best ever.
We went out of town, ordered pizza and sandwiches in for almost every meal, had what was probably the best sex of my sweet young life, and saw Black Rebel Motorcycle club.

Isn't it weird how much can change in a year? Sometimes I have a year where I'm like "wow, that was a year already?" and everything seems almost exactly the same. Other times it's like a world of difference.
Just a year ago I had just moved to a new area I didn't really know that well, I was finding a job, meeting new people....

A shark for your hard on:
That's crazy that you had a similar work experience and ordeal. I thought of of course, "getting a new job" as well but I'm not ready to bail just yet. The money is SO good and this exactly the job that I want, it's where I want to be. So it's a real aneurysm right now.
Anyway, I saw 3:10 To Yuma today. Have you? I think you'd like it. Is it ever a man's man's flick. I felt manly afterwards...I think. I mean it's no Brokeback Mountain, but still. I think I like westerns...it was really good.
Do you like Cat Power? Why do I think that?
I was briefly obsessed with that Nico song...I love her but woof, that one, wow. The last lines are so crushing, seriously. I think some of the greatest ever. Reduces me...to something, humble I think.
I'll leave you with this...I won't explain it but I took this outside my job. Morons had this taped to their car.
Ok, well... I had my day of bellyaching and I feel slightly better now. Things always tend to work out somehow, it just seems totally out of control sometimes.
And whatever, even if I don't get to go to school, big deal. Tons of people who don't get to go to school do just fine.

oh please, you haven't done the dishes in a week. I'M TELLING THE INTERNET on you.
the thing about school is, yes, a lot of people who don't go end up doing well in life anyway.. and a lot of people who DO go end up working at shitty desk jobs forever because said desk jobs provide health insurance and a steady paycheck.
(cue another panic attack about how my life is going nowhere)

So is there even a CBGB anymore? I thought it closed down or got turned into a virgin megastore or something like that...
Well I'm sure you've heard that Hilly Crystal (father of CBGB) passed away today (or yesterday by now?). Carumba. Well now I have to dig up that shirt and wear it to work tomorrow...and my CB's bracelet too.
Son of a whore. I'm sure that shop was mobbed today. 
Oh anyway...CB's closed I believe late last year. The last show was Patti Smith & I believe tickets were $900. I'm not kidding.
Anyhooo. Sorry for being lame-I work 6 days now AND in New Jersey (I live in NY) so, I don't have much air-time.
My bday is next week! You have my address, please make me a card? I would like that.

fuck that's a lot!
i am still paying off my student loans and i have a good job. if i had a "regular" job i don't think i would ever pay it off. i really should have gone to school for a year and then worked for a year or something like that. since i could just borrow money it was like wheeeeeee free money, i'll just work for the student newspaper for $8 an hour, 10 hours a week. students are too ignorant to be allowed to borrow so much money.

A small bit of advice to anyone who intends to tour the Schell's brewery last Friday: get there the fuck when they open cause that shit sells out like, right away.
Anyhow, the drive to and from Schell's was very nice and being able to hang out and walk around the grounds there were well worth the drive. It's gorgeous. And, even better, for some...

I was scrolling through My SG and reading the journals of people I don't have anything to say to anymore, and then I got to yours. and I was like, wow, DrStinkypants updated, and my heart was all like KABLOOMIES (in time with the fireworks that are going on outside, CONSIDER THE SYMBOLISM) and it felt like it did just before I met you, or just after I met you, when all we had was the internet and you were just this guy with a cartoon avatar who wrote me adorable drunken nervous emails all the time and I loved you so hard, and I still do, and you're the best thing in the world to me, you're the softest sweetest sexiest thing that ever lived and I can't believe I has you.
I love you. I can't believe how inadequate the words are. I love you.

As someone who used to live with so much depresion, I think I slept more than half of my life away a while ago. So rising at 5 is like my Hail Marys. I feel so dignified and get upset when I wake up late, late being for me, 5:45. Can you imagine?
I'm kind of enjoying the Rock of Love...a friend hit the nail on the head with that show ...it's "dumbing us down" though. Don't you feel that way? Vegging out is good, but I personally hate reality TV and dislike most TV actually. However I watch cartoons sometimes! Talk about paradox to dumbing down.
I wasn't able to get in to The Wire. Just didn't do it for me.
Glad to see you still here. I thought I had contact info for you when I went gray but it turned out I didn't. Hope all is going well.
