Played guitar for a 4-year-old's birthday party yesterday. A rollicking good time. It's amazing how rowdy kids will suddenly stand transfixed as soon as they hear the first note, regardless of what you're playing.

Her parents paid me in homebrewed hefewiezen and pot cookies. My standard fee for any gig, of course....

"The only thing that tastes better than free liquor is stolen liquor" - I don't think I've ever 'stolen' liquor, but now I'm damn curious to try.

In other news, I'm volunterring with the local street paper, Street Roots. I expected to help edit articles or something; instead, I'm going to be doing some pieces for the North American Association of Street Newspapers, and the...

Today's themes seem to be crazy people and urine. Derive from that what you will.

***Edited to say that the Wrens are rocking my balls tonight****

*****Edited to say that I've moved on to some Whitesnake. That's right, bitches, Whitesnake. You can take the boy out of Louisiana, but you can't take the coon ass out of the boy****

Steadily plowing through my skanky home....one more round of dishes and I'll be done.

Spent last weekend working as a stage manager for the PDX Pop Now! festival. Learned quite a bit, heard some fantastic local music, and became smitten with a lesbian drummer.

Spankenstein wins the prize for best penis name. Mr. Belvedere, in case you missed it.

Bankerboy and I are talking about dick names. Every guy in my family refers to their cock as "Ol Buford". Unbeknownst to them, I have started to call mine "Fog Cutter". If you have one, what do you call yours?

And do chicks name their box? I suppose I could've asked that a bit more tactfully, but it's Friday and I'm drinking vodka.

I just watched my first full episode of MacGyver. That's some good afternoon TV right there.

"Hurry MacGyver, the tunnel is collapsing!"

Can't you just feel the drama around you. Palpable, baby.

I made the most insane chili this weekend. One batch of my famous beer chili, one batch of a new vegetarian chili recipe that I came up with on the spot for my veggie friends. Both were good, and both were damn spicy. The veggie batch was almost too spicy to be edible, the type of spicy that you just know is going to singe...

The weekend is off to a fine start. Yesterday was payday, so I'm caught up on bills and have a fresh sack. Did some impromptu barbecuing with hansel, London, and pdxMatt (thanks for the new door drawings). Matt and I met up with bankerboy for a bit downtown, but cashed in early.

Going to scope out the garage today with pdxMatt and see...

Housesitting is done. Completely caught up on bills, finally on stable financial footing again (or will be come payday on Friday). I scraped their BMW on some concrete, but a little elbow grease and know-how had the car looking fantastic again well before they returned to Portland.

Bought a sheet set for the first time in my life. Felt strangely adult. No more bare mattress...

Got the tests back on my Restless Leg Syndrome today. Turns out that I'm severely iron deficient. The lowest acceptable score for "normal" is 20. Mine is an 8. I find this strange, as I get a decent bit of iron in my diet. What's really odd is that I'm one of the record blood donors in Portland, and it would make sense that an...
