Ahhhh, Saturday.

I didn't get any sleep last night. A bunny kept me awake all night. An actual rabbit, people.

I got some tickets to the Austin Tool show. Third in line, and still the best we could get was 22nd row. It's not a bad seat for the Frank Erwin Center, but it still blows my mind that they were selling that quickly.

After...

Oh sweet Christmas, I have a credit card. please oh please don't let it be my financial undoing.

Okay, the plan is to use it to get my vredit back in decent shape. I have no idea why I got the pre-approved notice in the mail from a bank I've never had any kind of relationship with, but if I can not screw this up,...

Nah, they didn't give me THAT much credit. they're not insane.

I really did spend a little bit too much time in the "comics you can't afford" section at Austin Books today. I looked lovingly at the wall at previously unobtainable rarities. I think I had a tear in my eye. The kind salesman asked if I needed any help. It took all my power to gasp out "No, thanks."

Ya know, commenting on my own journal entry feels pretty damn self-absorbed. Oh well, it suits me.

Deacon,

I'm in a similar credit situation.
Don't be at all surprised about getting that notice in the mail; basically, these banks troll for customers with bad credit, so when they (the customers) fuck up and miss a payment or whatever, the banks can screw exorbitant penalty fees out of them. I'm not saying don't take the card, but pay your bills on time. And try not to carry a balance.
Also, expect to get about a dozen junk mail credit card offers a day from now on. Blecch!

On a lighter note: Austin Books is the most incredibly fuckin' cool comic shop I've ever seen! I've prolly dropped about 500 dollars there over the past year-and-a-half. (Well, maybe not 500, but A LOT.)

Best wishes,

Rod

Last night was weird. A couple of you probably already know what I'm talking about. Hell, chances are if you're reading this, you were a very active participant in last night's experiment in boredom. I'm not sure what primal instinct drove me to continue spouting off random junk and continue the channel channel thread as long as we did, but it was pretty amusing. Even...

Tales from the Dork Side:

Okay, so now my little writings have a name. I kind of like it. For now, at least. Even if I'm the only person that enjoys seeing my thoughts in print.

The Scooby Doo movie is coming out soon, and I say screw the critics. They're all panning it, and it may completely bite, but I'm still going to watch...

geezer:
This whole thing reminds me of a comic book I read years ago that I can't remember the name of... anyway, it had an extended scene where the writer talks about beating off to Velma as his first sexual experience.

Ha! Jinkies, indeed.

deaconkole:
What i didn't say in the journal entry was that when i said Jinkies, I said it as if I had a moutful... catch my drift?

Really, though, i'd do them both at the same time. Little mystery-solving tramps.

Off to work I go. If I call you, I'm sorry. Don't take it personally, it's just my job.

Okay, time to put the journal to use. It may never, ever be read by anyone but me...then again, it may be the beginning of the dedication towards writing I've been putting off. Hey, Missy said Neato on my pathetic first entry, so who knows? maybe I can make y'all laugh.

I just caught the end of the MTV Movie Awards. I have such a...
