After a rather messed up day of running around Tucson for no real reason and not really getting a lot of progress made at work I decided that a trip to Club Congress to see the KFMA $1 show might be in order. I have started to realise that staring at four walls in an evening really is not the best way to pass time, so tucking my problems with large ( Read more... )

I found this while going through my e-mail account. It is a mail I sent after I had been for a medical exam. Hope it makes you smile also.

$200 for exam
$20 for TB test
$100 for Tetanus and MMR
$12 for tax
Having a stranger fondle your balls......
Priceless.
For everything there is the Bank of America Visa card.

To KFMA day or not to KFMA day, that is the question? Not only will Jimmy Eats World be there who are fast becoming a favorite of mine, but the one man who lead my down the dark and twisted path of rock and metal will be there in the flesh. Apart from being called Billy Idol all the way through my Ph.D studies at UK due to the way I dressed and the ( Read more... )

Today seems to have been a good day. Things since Christmas have been going up and down on the job front. During Christmas I heard I was to have my research published in two scientific journals, then when the proofs came through the editors had made some wonderfully stupid mistakes. Once again my poor boss has been given another name, not quite as ( Read more... )

Happy New Year to all ( Read more... )

It Monday, the day where we can all sit back and say "Where the hell did the weekend go?" This one went by far to quick. Friday night at Club Congress with friends listening to new and interesting music. Not really my style but still had to appreciate what they were doing. Next concert on Wed, same place, old favorite of a band, can hardly wait. ( Read more... )

The last couple of months have been a lot better for me, but once again I feel the downward spiral trying to force itself back into my life. I suppose I should explain a little more before I spew my thoughts and feelings onto this page. I will warn you now, that what I am about to write is going to be really hard for me and therefore may be a ( Read more... )

Last week it was my absolute pleasure to be able to visit the post office on more than one occasion. It all started on Friday night when upon opening the mail box I found the always unwelcome green slip of doom telling me that apparently the day after I had emptied the mail box last, mail accumulation had been present and all of the mail for the ( Read more... )

I am shocked. It seems that lessons are just not learned and here 'WE' are again with Bush in control of not only the US but the rest of the World. I would love to be able to say to you all that I could just up and leave this mess and head back to the fair and pleasant lands of England, taking as many of you as I could fit in my suitcase, but I am ( Read more... )

Like every other morning I had to walk past the local hotel on my way to work. Most mornings when things at work are not going very well I look to the guys mowing the lawns or tending to the trees and say to myself "I could do that" Then of course the realisation comes that me spending hours and hours in the Arizona sun is really not a good idea ( Read more... )
