Fuck. I wiped out a long Journal. Okay, I will shorten my already-short summaries, which I wanted to put up since it seems lots of folks come on here on Sun/ Monday:
1) Saw Lady in the Water with Automatic. It was okay; I wish it'd gone more creepy, which isn't to say horror, but rather more spooky aspects rather than comedic or tale-spinning stuff.
2) Fri and Sat were really great days in Portland. Dictionary definition of perfect weather; I got out some n hope you did too if you're local.
3) Saw Jackass 2 Sat; it was okay. Lots of painful-looking things happen. Also, lots of vomit and vomit-worthy things, which made it harder to watch for me than it already was; the hand-held shaky cameras were giving me motion sickness. Like the first film and TV show, it succeeded best with the low-frills, no-budget, wacky stuff. The show loses its way with big-budget finales and showbizzy aspects, but there's way more of just dumb, gross, goofy stunts than that kinda thing anyway, so I liked it.
4) Went on a bar crawl with lots of folks, my first (unless brokenbeatnik's birthday-Sunday counted as one). Smoked a lot of cigar so my breath was really raunchy even today... of course, I went to bed at 1 a.m.and got up for work at the usual 5:15. Not too big a deal; I don't drink much, normally. Saw Mikael, bandmates of his, Les, Automatic (when I was leaving at 1), Ryan and her man (if anybody knows his handle, if he's on here, pass it along to me?), phillipetheotter, Mikael's brother and some neat lady roommate of his. Drank. Smoke dumb cigars. Talked. Played Connect 4 and some dumb bar photo contest thingy. Good night.
5) Today I just worked n I'm getting beaten badly in fantasy football, I'm guessing.

The Scary Monsters album, along with Devo's New Traditionalists formed the basis of me going from the disco era into the wonderfulness of the 80s.
There is still a spot on the couch if you wanna come by and watch the games....
we miss you too
