Just got done watching yours truly on the news. It's a good thing I didn't sneeze or blink, or I would have missed it. I knew it was going to be a quick piece, but I was in hopes they'd pull some memorable soundbite and use that. You know, some great quote that they could inscribe on my tombstone when I go up to that...

Today the choo-choo train of eBay treasures came careening into my apartment! I swear, it must have been 10 packages worth. Among the treasures were switchblades, antique straightrazors, records (of course!), cds (given) and a bunch of vintage mexican film noir posters. Among the CDs and records were Lazy Cowgirls, Puffball, Entombed, Hanoi Rocks and The Dictators ("Manifest Destiny" Japanese CD...How cool am I?). Well,...

Hey you. What's up? Look like you have been having a good time. Well I am coming into town this weekend. Planning on meeting up with you guy Saturday night for a little bit. I am going to that burlesque show I was telling you about, www.burlesqueforpeace.com, It starts around 10 or so. You want to come? Then I don't know what I am doing after. Where are you guys going to go? I know you are meeting at Katz I think. I will check the thread. Also I was thinking about going to the Roller Derby that Sunday night. I have a friend that skates with them. She isn't skating that night though. Maybe you know her, Miss Conduct? She is really awesome and I have never see her skate. Maybe we could go together or meet up. Do you have tickets? I need to get one. Let me know what's up. Later 
rayn:
That sounds awesome. I will send you my email. Let me know if you would like to go to the b-show after you find out your plans. I would love to be your plus one to the derby game. I am driving into town so I can meet you before hand if you want. This weekend can't come any sooner. I am ready for a break.
Thank God this week is finally over!!! I was late getting home from work tonight, so my motivation level is LOW. I really wanna go see The Winks. As the clock ticks on, I'm really digging sittin' 'round on my boney old man ass.
Not much to tell about today: Work was rather suck-a-delic. Our SXSW line up is slowly but surely falling into place...

I think my weekend should be just grand! Hope yours is good too. No boot scootin', though. Well, we're gonna dance to some electroclash, does that count? And watch some indie pop bands?

Hi there,
I hope tonight is as good as you described it to be. Im looking forward to meeting some of the SGmembers. It should be a good time. But im really looking forward to the V-day celebration in Austin. Although im a little worried about lodging. Hopefully I will meet someone tonight who will want to split the costs with me. If not ill be passing out in my truck.
Pancakes...mmmmm. I love blueberry pancakes, just like the girl from Pulp Fiction.

Chaos ruled the day today. I'm getting bombarded from all sides at work. News people, maintenance people, my bosses, and people wanting to book their band in the store for SXSW....all are tugging at me from every which way. Then there's the shoplifters. I had a 10 minute conversation with this girl who was trying to steal shit. Told me that she was a recovering...

I just read a times piece about your work. I hope everythings O.K.
zephyra:
I've got a spare pull-out couch in my dining room. 
Seriously though, keep me posted on how things are going with that shit.
Oh, and you should be jealous, girls are just as yummy as boys.

What a long, long, long day full of meetings, phone calls and all that crap that keeps me in my damn office all day. Everyone wants money right now: Support this, donate to that, sponsor us! I've cherry picked my sponsorships, thanks, and they don't have any motherfuckin' Greek letters in their names. Sorry, just had to get that out of the ol' system.
Tomorrow,...

I cherry pick too. If I actually answer the door I tell them that I actually research my donation decisions. The fucking Greeks? No!
Last night's sleep (or lack thereof) was riddled with madness! Maybe, as someone suggested, it was all the dairy I consumed yesterday. Whatever the reason, I was tossin', turnin', flippin', floppin', talkin', sleepwalkin'...everything but peeing in the closet! Thank God, I didn't get that far. I'm sure it was somewhere on my list of nocturnal neurotic to-do's! Felt like bona-fide crapola when I "woke up"...

Yes I am planning on coming down on Saturday the 14th. And I know what ya mean about speeding this week along, it is moving at turtle speed right now! I probably have to head back early Sunday though, cause I think I got a test that Mon or Tues. But im looking forward to meeting you and all the Austin folks, it should be a blast. 
zephyra:
I will be there. With bells on...ok, maybe not bells, maybe some more chocolate. Oooh, maybe chocolate and peanut butter.
Ok, I'll stop. I have a 3-day weekend that weekend too...that was my point.
I get to go home to a new pug today!

It's a quiet, boring night in Austin. I'm so glad the work week is over It's been challenging at best.
Just got home. Went out for sushi with SS, her brother and a few other folks. Went out for coffee after that. It was cool. Haven't hung out with the ol' gal in a while.
I'm a bit nervous about my night out tomorrow. I...

i have several comments re: your journal entry~
1-I had sushi yesterday too!
1.5-i luuuuv sushi
2-good luck on your date...even if it sux at least you went on a date. i can't even remember the last time i met someone new.
3-one day last week i freaked out and bought like 8 things on ebay.
3.5-i don't actually need any of the things i purchased, but i really like getting things in the mail
4-don't go to the wedding. just don't go. call or lie if you have to, but i find weddings in general a nightmare, and crackheads probably serve buffet style
5-your journals are NEVER boring. just between you and i, they're pretty much the only ones i read all the way through.
5.5-sometimes i even laugh out loud and that's embarrassing at the reference desk of the library.
5.8-maybe you should think about a career in writing
6-(unrelated) i wish i had black hair so i could put 'black & blue' in my stats box too!

You've watched Fawlty Towers before, right? Of course you have! Ya know how Basil is always running around in a frenzy, maniacally frustrated by all that surrounds him? Well, that was me today...so mad that all you can do is shake your fist! Yep, a pretty crappy day.......UNTIL........the phone rang at 5:15. One of my sales reps is in town and wants to take me...

Have a good weekend!

It's hard for me to attend these SGTX get-togethers, as I make 90% of my money on the weekend. If we ever have an early weekday get together that doesnt start till around 12am or so, I'm there.
I think I have one of them tapeworms, cuz DAMMIT, I can't stop eating. It's like I haven't had food in years. Gotta be a tapeworm.
I've had my YOO HOO for the night, and I'm settling in. Got a single of Lazy Cowgirls doing "Hybrid Moments" by The Misfits. How cool is that? I'll answer for ya: It's DAMN cool! Well said.

i want a pet tape worm. id feed him every day. and model my barrel chest like it was going outta STYLE!
It's so nice to be safe in sound in my humble digs tonight. I went out last night for a bit. Stayed out way too late. Felt like I had been hit by a truck this morning. That's kinda odd, as I don't drink.
Today was somewhat tolerable at work. I went out to lunch with a very cool girl. It was a business thing,...

Sounds like she's doing "okay". She's supposed to get out of the hospital, but the weather was not permitting her to leave. I hope everyone's week is...

sorry i didn't call. i suck.
Can you believe it? I actually went into a record store, and left without spending any money! Go figure! Someone stopped me and told me they saw my picture in The Chronicle. I made a comment on the article and they looked at me like I just told them a dirty joke in Swahili. Well, as long as they looked at the pictures.
