The procurement of a one-year-old, brown-egg-laying chicken for Bethany's birthday yesterday was an almost unqualified success. Chuck and I had dutifully researched chicken care and coop construction, and aside from ruining a few hours of Bethany's birthday with our running around town to Home Depot, etc., I was pretty proud. I mean, a chicken for Bethany! How great is that? A chicken for Bethany!

I must live in the wireless armpit of Seattle. I went and got a new cell phone on a new service yesterday, because my current phone a) is half-broken (if your number has a 1, 2, or 3 in it and you're not in my address book, i'm sorry i haven't been in touch), b) Qwest sucks, and my too-expensive plan is about to run...

I hate cellular phones. I have one, but I never use it.

I hardly use my land line.

I need to better define my rules for street engagement. Usually the brain gets wide discretion to ignore the crazy people that ramble around my neighborhood, but somewhere I have to draw the line. This person, for instance, I'm fine ignoring: A woman walks up alongside Rite-Aid and says loudly to the air, "A Jew owns this store, but don't tell anyone, because they might...

Hey, next time you see the anti-anti-war poster guy, give me a call and I'll help to kick his ass. Or at least I'll bitch slap him and run while you do the rest.
Thanks for making the effort to come to my show, anyway. That's really all that counts. I'll be there the first Sunday of each month.

I will tell you what movies suck.

Hey, look, some of the actors of your favorite films might be present for the festival. Yes, I will take pictures.

I've resisted getting a QFC Advantage Card out of just instinctual indignation. I don't want to carry a card, I don't want my purchases tracked, and I don't like being financially electro-prodded into helping QFC do its marketing and purchasing. But then, of course, I feel like a rube whenever I pay an extra dollar-fifty for a half-rack of Rainier.

I've been looking for a...

I hate those cards, although thankfully no place that I shop has them. It's great that you're trying to mess with them, but I'm sure they don't care. They'll just keep collecting their data and thinking that it's all so significant and helpful...
I figured maybe seatac was another airport. Now it all makes sense.
tryptamine_____:
i think you should just trade qfc cards every once and awhile with random people.

i've been hesitating getting one of those. actually, i think my roommate has one for me, but i just use his when he's around and don't bother when he's not.

wanna trade, if i can find mine? biggrin

I've gone from pleasant lounging to realizing that I'm doing a patented Rob L.-Paul H. trick: the manufactured work/life crisis. I've been so blas and offering no mental resistance to it--why? hoping that I'd just snap out of it?--and now I've got a *lot* to do and have to do it tout de suite and I'm entering the early stages of manic freak-out (far preferable...

Is "Orly" a reference to the airport? What's "seatac?"

Let's see, why does today suck? Could be because i have this horrible cold that has my nose running like a faucet, or it could be because someone FUCKING STOLE MY CAR FROM IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE LAST NIGHT! Goddammit, i can't believe it. So i call the cops, and they're like, "Well, 90% of the time, the car will be retrieved in less...

holy shit -- where the hell do you live in Seattle? Are you sure you didn't just misplace your car? Did they get the Creedence tapes?
boojiboy:
I though it just crapped out on you from our conversation. Can't sleep.... That's fucked. Watch for the big kids in the back of the bus. They'll give you gnarly swirlies, and steal your milk money.

Taxes ahoy!

When i was in college i had three tapes i would listen to all night while i was in the painting studio one year: Boo Radleys "Everything's alright Forever" on one side, House of Love "Spy in the House of Love" on the other; Field Mice "For Keeps" on one side, Pale Saints "In Ribbons" on the other; Velocity Girl "Copacetic" on one side, Heavenly...

Ellensburg is a traditional stop for me when I criss-cross Washington. Sort of like Sutherlund, OR is one when I go from Sacramento to Seattle.

My favorite Veolcity Girl song is actually off of "Gilded Stars and Zealous Hearts". I do understand what you mean about tVelocity Girl's lack of progression. They just sort of got stuck, though I do enjoy popping in a tune from them from time to time and enjoying simple things.

Should you *want* to be judged by your bathroom reading? I just realized that the two magazines in there right now are Jane and Scientific American. (On Jane's cover: "The Newest Sex Position: Better Clear Your Schedule"; on SciAm's cover: "Micromachines Rewrite the Future of Data Storage." I don't want to talk about it.)

Okay, it's almost Christmas, but what am i most eagerly awaiting? My SG mix CDs, which should be arriving...hopefully before 2003. I'm about as far from Boston as you can get, so i don't know when to expect them, but i do know to expect a lot of stuff i've never heard before.

I just got a big package of tax form stuff today; this...

Just saw "Birthday Girl w/ Nicole Kidman. Kind of hard to classify; a bit of a black comedy/thriller love story kind movie. I could easily see it being made by Tarantino or Ritchie or Soderburgh, but it would be far more obvious.

I can't believe you actually figured out how many people participated by using the data I posted in my journal. If you want a full list, check out the thread, I've got everyone there.
