I think I'm gonna go to Vegas for a few days next month. Any recommendations, people? I'm leaning towards the Mirage, but I'm totally undecided as of yet. I'm not a big gambler, I just want to walk around in a self-indulgent adult fairyland for a few days, and forget about sad stuff. Oh, and I'll be alone, if that makes a difference. I'm thinking:...

Well, I DO read... but unfortunately I've never been to Vegas and couldn't begin to advise--sorry!

I was only in Vegas for a few hours once, passing through to another city (we had thought we might stay the night in Vegas but the hotels were way too expensive -- even Yosef's Rooms By The Hour was going to run $80.) Mostly I recall how crazy-aggressive the guys were, and the cockroaches, and how much food cost. I might be cheaper to go gamble and utilize the Free Buffets casinos tend to have as a motivator, than to try to just pay for food.
I am listening to Blondie's Parallel Lines for the first time ever. It is good, more rocking than I ever thought it would be. I love "Hanging on the Telephone" and of course, "Heart of Glass". Goddamn, there is a lot of good music out there. Anyone ever heard of the Comsat Angels? That is prime 80s wonderfulness that no one in America ever mentions.

Is that your reaction to the Comsat Angels album cover? It would seem appropriate, if so. I do read that picture as modern cityscape seen as forbidden alien landscape. Not a person to be seen, no warmth.
Feeling very Koyaanisqatsi. It only misses a pair of golden arches.
The again, perhaps your Fear Button got stuck.

This struck me as funny. So I'm at the theatre, watching this grim black-and-white film, The White Ribbon. There's a scene where a deeply religious father is telling his son that he reminds him of another boy he's heard about, a boy who died. The father then goes on to describe the symptoms of the boy who died, what he was like before he passed...

baaahahahaha! I know, lol. She turned 3, so in "dog years" that would have been her 21st b-day. I think we all had the same face as her the day after our 21st, HAHAH!

um... pretty sure I posted that comment under my own blog responding to your comment, but for some reason it's here... 
Oh how much difference ONE conversation can make! From feeling like utter shit and no one cares, to being totally calm and feeling that there's a future... One friend or family member can make such a difference. Damn, that's a good thing to remember.
What's so strange is that we can forget, can lose perspective on our lives so easily without someone to set us...

How long can you be the King of Weirdos now that you've tapped into the MANOR? 
This is "Restaurant Week" in Sonoma County, so I went out to some Puerto Rican place in Rosa. Three-course meal, relatively cheap, real good. (El Coqui, anyone?) The simple pleasures... I was sitting at the bar in this place, reading the paper and waiting for my food, and I reflected on how fortunate I was.
Also, today was beautiful, a good day to have off....

It's been six months since breaking up with J. Or about that long. It's hard to believe that it's somehow okay, somehow possible to feel pain for this long. But I guess it can go on longer, much longer, or so I've heard. Maybe it shows, in some sort of fucked up way, just how much you loved that person. I can't see what good...

Humbling, absurd moment: So I'm currently ready to go out to the park and go jogging and reading (not at the same time, funny guy/gal) when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I'm wearing these old sweats that I cut the bottoms off of in order to make them long shorts. They are comically ragged, like a theatrical version of ripped pants....

So Valentine's approaches, like a painted-up harlot asking for chocolates and flowers. Naah, not really, but it sure seems that way, esp if you're broken up and fucked up. It'll beeeee, about 6 months now, and though I've never felt V-Day was terribly important in terms of Real Love-- it's to love what Xmas is to Christ, I think-- it's certainly hard to ignore, what...

Get some single friends together and watch horror movies where the lovers are always murdered.
Went to a punk concert, but I felt like a jackass being there alone. Everyone-- I mean everyone-- I saw there was with somebody. I made it through one band and started to get drunk, so I thought I'd head out. 2 more hours of that would've been a bad idea.
So I went home and made a tuna sandwich. Now that's as punk as...

Mmmmm..... sun. Hints of Spring. This is a long, dark Winter, and it's nice to get a reminder that this will pass.
Spent the day wandering around Sebastapol, stopping occasionally to read. I wanted to see I Hate Hamlet, but the theatre was closed, with no explanations (maybe an actor got sick... or a commerical callback?).
I'm still trying to decide if I like Santa...

Thanks for the great advice u left on ur blog. I will definately b there for my brother. I also added u.
Saw the Black Lips in SF this last week, along with Nobunny and Personal and the Pizzas. The concert was fun. Increasingly, I find myself abou ten years older than the mass of people at the concerts I go to-- which I could give a fuck less about, it'd just be nice to have someone else to go with. (Cue sound of crowd wailing like...
