Back from the beach....and of course life is a mess. No, not a mess, just, still full of important decisions. Why is it that when I "go away" for a length of time I expect the aggrivating choices that were dogging me before I left to mysteriously vanish by the time I return - and when they don't I'm perplexed as to why they're still...

Time to soak up the sun....
Crap - I just realized I quoted Cheryl Crow. Damn, now I've got to scrape myself down with seashells to get this stink off of me.
I'll see you all when I get back. This is my first vacation in, wow, six years? Is that possible?
I'm bringing three good books to read ("Straight Man", "Dune", and "On the...

nice! have a good vacay man 
The week from hell is over...thank God. I spent most of this weekend sleeping. I'm definately getting old....but I think a week of only 3 hrs of sleep would do just about anybody in.
Though I did take my grandfather out on Sunday (Father's day....awwwww) to play Bocce. He hasn't played in 60 years - and he's one of those old-school Italians so he played...

I remember Jake and Oliver's....oh yeah. Even the place that followed it, The Wichita, kept the the beer/taps flowing. Half price happy hours and a 6 dollar steak dinner. Oh yeah! Mucho nice...way cool.
A few of us went out one day during happy hour, and this one girl wanted to go to Coyote Ugly 'just because'. I mean, its 6pm...there's no one in there (including hot ladies working the bar) and they have three things on tap. Subsequently, said tap lines havent been cleaned, giving all three beers a very crappy taste. Add to that, serving us in plastic cups. Oi vey....thankfully, I convinced the kids to head over to St. Jacks. they had Victory's Golden Monkey on tap. Niiiice.
Moved a friend from NM to Boulder a few years back. Nice place...had fun. Drank a lot of Fat Tire. Tasty little beverage, I must say.
Just make sure you make it to the Dogfish Head Brewpub...they have a brewery on-site, not to mention a distillery. some BAD ASS rum....

It's 1:00AM - I have slept so very little this week and I expect not to sleep tonight. I have a Wednesday deadline b/c I'm leaving for a well deserved vacation. By then I have to:
1) Finish a giant proposal by Friday
2) Take my grandfather grocery shopping Friday
3) Play Bocce w/ said grandfather on Friday
4) Find a place that rents 40'...

Fuck her... she's lucky I didn't kick her in her fat ass.
Worst part about this is I have a brand new Ducati and can't go ride.

Could last weekend have been any better? Wonderful weather, good friends, good food...and Bocce in Bardascino park.
The lowpoint was when I was at "Hell's Podium" (I had to hand out flyers for an art show) most of Saturday in Rittenhouse Park. It wasn't so bad. Most people were pretty nice, I ran into an old college buddy, and I got really good at the...

Well we're outta cake! 
I'm so sick of Philly radio - where the hell did all the good stations go? If it wasn't for NPR...I don't think I'd ever use the radio in my car. I love WXPN, don't get me wrong, but sometimes....I just don't wanna listen to Celtic music for an hour, you know?
Remember when 103.9 was WDRE and it didn't suck? *sigh*
I wish someone...

I fully fucking understand what you mean about the radio situation.....used to be the most annoying things about stations that played good underground music , was the fact that some of the Dj's would prattle on about how cool, they and their friends were instead of just playing music...
Now it is just heavy rotation of all the lobotomized baseball hat and chino crowd idea of what's edgy or supposedly cool. I ended up having to buy a new radio for the kitchen at work after I recently put the other one into little pieces with a well-aimed saute pan.....
Clear channel must die.

I'm not sure if this is SG heresy, but I can't say for sure if I'm going to the Burlesque show when the girls come to town on the 17th. 
I went to the show the first time they were in Philly - and it was pretty damn disorganized. Snow (along with how many others?) had to have a routine cut b/c the music cues...

No, I didnt make it to the gig last night. Im a little on the Po' side at the moment. and the same goes for me about Doug E. Fresh. I was listening to him in 7th grade to start with. Great shit, though.
Was Slick Rick really with him? He's in the middle of a nasty deportation thing. Off an on in jail, due to the new Terrorism laws. Its a dirty mess...the guy hasnt been to England for years upon years. Ugh....

Takin' it slow...n00bs should know better than to rush in, fuck something up, do something wrong - then everyone hates you. The story of my life. 
I've decided the phrase, "Having your cake and eating it, too" is an absolutely meaningless one to use. No one, unless they have a severe mental disorder and/or obsessive-compulsive streak, would try to "have" cake and NOT eat it....

One of the Voidoids is . But he was 61! In human years (non-punk years) that's, like, 174. So...I guess...well done, Robert. You had a good run. *thumbs up*
And, of course, having mentioned yesterday that this spring is awsome in Philly so far - it's hotter than the surface of the sun today.
Sorry. Bad meteorological mojo.

I will be selling my felted wares on Saturday, knitting and swearing and knitting some more. I have peircings and a very loud laugh, if you stop in you should say hello...or howdy is fine.
Damn...having to pass out flyers in Rittenhouse, you and your woman are brave. I went in there two weeks ago and just had to run away. I felt like I was in a magazine add...girls wearing Gap and flip flops everywhere. Also, some crazy bug gave me the biggest bites I've ever seen on my legs.
Wear bug repellent...trust me!
This weather is seriously pissing me off...and its not even summer yet. ew!

Check out Thora's pics section, not the photo set. Some of them in there are fantastic.
Why can't we link THOSE to our favorites?
