Last night I returned from Baltimore and my two-night gig playing drums for Emily Pakes. It was booze-soaked and fun. I had a good time. Pretty much everyone was way cool.

I'm back in Reality now, though. Oh, well.

Thanks.

Instead of subjecting everyone to the agonizing and uninteresting details of frustration and self-loathing, I'm going to just start posting recipies. If you can cook, these aren't for you. If you can't, these are in the spirit of Steve Carter's hypothetical cable access cooking show for bachelors, I'm Gettin' Laid, except not as good.

Everyone needs to be able to knock off a bread...

Sounds intriguing, perhaps because of my peoples' penchant for unleavened bread. Granted, not so much "penchant for" vs. "OMFG grab your shit and run," but hey. Anything to complement sauciness.

Your recipe was making my insomniac night. Then I realized, hey, I make something almost exactly like that, except there's more of it and I call it beer bread. What do you call yours? Beer puck? I guess my night is still made.

Anyway, since the theme seems to be cooking-for-sex, I'd like to make a recommendation. Once you've gotten the woman of your choice into bed with your amazing beer puck, you can amaze her all over againin the morning with beer pancakes (and other things, of course). Aunt Jemima's buttermilk pancake mix+beer. And you can use the crappy lager that your friends left in your fridge. God, I would be so stoked.

As you walk eastward on Main Street, approaching the intersection with Corcoran, on the north side of the street you can see the building that used to house the sadly failed D.A.I. It still says "Mr. Shoe" on the front; Dave was never even in there long enough to change the sign. On the side of the building behind Mr. Shoe, the one facing Parrish...

Did you go to this spandrel thing? Sounded cool but I couldn't make it.

I do like the "old this-or-that building" nomenclature. The SunTrust building will always be the CCB building to me.

Warning: Nothing to see here, really. It's boring, but I'm not complaining about anything!

The mastering machine seems to have fixed itself. I... computers are weird.

Next weekend I am going up to Baltimore to play drums for some person I've never met. Fortunately, I think I will meet her before then. Somehow the '90s faggy brit glam pop guitarist has been pidgeonholed as...

Dude, the mastering machine is on the fritz.

FUCK FUCK FUCK. I am going to starve to death.

Well, unfortunately, you can't just peacefully starve to death in our society. First there's a whole lot of bullshit about getting your car reposessed and being evicted and harrassed by creditors and blah, blah, blah... That's the main reason why, in the past, I never just gave...

Well, the hurricane scattered a bunch of skaters, so we kind of had to rebuild, starting last December, and no one's actually needed skate names, yet. If we're good enough, we'll have a bout in September. I seem to be the team klutz-- I'm really fast, but get out of control easily and tend to knock a whole bunch of other people down, while managing to stay upright.

I do really like Liddy Gaytrix, but I also like Atticus Bitch and Eudora Welts. I'll keep you posted.

Oh, fucking god.

I walked home from the bar tonight. I left my car key with Al.

It's because Stacy was there. Then, when I got home, of course we had to have a horrible drunken IM conversation.

What the fuck? If she's going to TOTALLY ABANDON ME, why can't she just TOTALLY FUCKING ABNDON ME and not continue to rake me across the...

Sounds like you're all over the place at the moment... focus on the positive, the rest will just screw with your head.

It's difficult, and it'll take time. Sounds like you're getting good advice, though. The hardest part is following it.

Not so long ago, I was on my knees. Recently, I managed to stand back up. Now, I'm heels over head again. I don't ever want to learn my lesson, and I don't think I ever will. Hoorah!

I am officially the world's worst dreamer. I can NOT remember the last time I had a dream that didn't cause me to wake up depressed, anxiety ridden, disgusted, or downright scared. I don't have the energy to analyze this right now. Sleep seems to have done me no good last night.

Officially, no. But, tradition dictates that after a successful defense, you are. So yeah, I'm a doctor.

Most importantly, I am very excited. I count hours.

In other news, Al and I got soused and watched an Ocean's 11/Ocean's 12 double feature. We overdid it, but had a good time, and both agree that Brad Pitt is perhaps the second most desirable man ever. By "man," of course, I mean "male human." I can think of at least one female human more...

What happened?

It's 53 degrees now and raining, not with the usual biblical bombast, but with the steady determination of the grizzled old Muscovite in the corner who's halfway through his bottle of vodka but still wearing his grim face. Sure, it reminds me of the homeland, but that's not what I want right now.

Fortunately, I have sweet thoughts, good books, and plenty of...

So, I'm sitting out on my front stoop, reading a book that's shaping up to bear a fundamental resemblance with what is possibly my favorite book of all time, drinking gin and tonic, and the yard is shady and the weather is perfect. To quote my friend Jason Kutchma at his most "dance'n'shout" charismatic, "Bring on the Summer!"

Yep, happens about twice a year around these parts as well and I got half an hour's worth this evening. I stopped making dinner/watching hockey so I could hang out on the back porch and watch the sky for 15 minutes.

too bad my husband had a vasectomy. the only reason I was on it was to help my cramps/pevlic pains and so I didn't have a period.
