You may not have known: I read the Peanuts strip every day. Sometimes in the paper, but usually at Peanuts.com.

Which is where I learned about the huge Peanuts publishing project.

Starting next April, every single Peanuts strip will be published in a twenty-five volume work. Two books every year for twelve and a half years, about 320 pages each. Three dailies per page,...

King shit of fuck mountain, what a crapariffic day.

My new mattress was delivered at eight A.M. sharp. Just the mattress. No box spring, despite having paid for the whole damn set. Sorting that out with the mattress-uneducated at Sears was less than desirable.

On the way out today, I noticed a dent in my passenger side door, complete with white paint. The pattern was...

9monty:
Are you going to Doughty tonight?

I'll be there and have seen him solo three other times.

Going with a gang of folks so it should be fun. Good chance I'll be wearing a black "Giants" hat with the orange SF letters on it. Holla if you see me and feel like bullshittin.

Someone asked me for my phone number today.

Mind you, she asked through the saleswoman at Aeropostale. I got this phone call just as we closed from this chick saying her customer had just been in the store talking to me and wanted my phone number, but didn't know how to go about asking me for it. So this broad called over and asked me....

A buddy of mine used to call his beard 'girl repellent' for very good reason. My vote: no beard.

I tell you, being single makes more and more sense every day. Are all girls fucking insane, or is it just the vast majority of them? I mean, wow. A firm grip on reality, anyone?

I'm sure I could be accused of not making much sense at times, but if you look at it objectively and rationally, you'll see that there are clear and reasonable...

Oooookay, here it is. The official announcement.

Next October, I will run the Ottawa Marathon.

I plan on keeping a training log online, so if you want to see how I'm doing, you can redirect your ass there by clicking on the link to my LiveJournal in my profile. You can leave comments if you'd like, but just keep in mind that my friends and...

Fun day.

First, this month's edition of the HCC Times came out, which means it was my very first chance to see my own name in newsprint. I tell you, it's just too spiffy for words. Unless you count "spiffy" as a word, in which case it's just plain spiffy.

At work, my manager told me they're trying to make me a keyholder or manager...

Unclean! Unclean!

Class ended early today, so I decided to go participate in the school's blood drive. I wasn't four sentences into the first page in the pamphlet they give out when I realized they won't accept my blood. Too much time in Europe.

So no free cookies or soda for me or my dirty blood.

Dear Lion King DVD Announcer Guy:

Is it really necessary to refer to Elton John as SIR Elton John? Yes, he was knighted. We understand. And he wrote Tiny Dancer, and wasn't that a wonderful scene in Almost Famous? But until he decides to do something other than adding music to animated movies or rewriting his own songs in honor of deceased royalty, I think...

I did go back. He remembered me, but the store was really busy and his manager was standing RIGHT THERE. So it wasn't really a success, but I did buy some Wonder Woman undies while I was there. I loved Wonder Woman as a kid. If they still made those Underoos that look like her costume I might never wear anything else. Except a coat when it's cold.

Perhaps you should go back a couple of times for a beverage. Now that it's Autumn they should have plenty of hot cider and cocoa on tap. You can work your way up to phone numbers after a bit of chit chat. I'll keep trying too. Good luck!

One thing I miss about LJ is the current music feature. I like people to know just how lame I am when it comes to what I listen to.

Since I don't have that feature here on SG, I feel the need to mention just how fucking good Tom Waits' Alice is. Intended to be a musical, it has such an impressive emotional range, and...

So you commented in my journal a while ago and I didn't see it because I updated while you were posting. How was your coffee?

Rodger, this guy in my English class, gave me two condoms in class today. Lifestyles, spermicidally lubricated with Nonoxynol-9 (which, a recent stuy purports, may actually promote the transmission of HIV vice preventing it). He said a teacher had given him a bunch of them as he handed them out liberally. I won't even touch that one, folks.

Two condoms. I'm starting to develop a...

Went to the Black Cat to see Rainer Maria last night. Got there to see half of the Denali set. Half of Engine Down, starring the guitarist's sister on vocals. Very ballsy. They attacked everything with passion. I don't know if I've ever seen such an aggressive live vocalist, either. Impressive.

Rainer Maria was really, really fun. All smiles and dancing on stage. And Caithlyn...
