I've been up till midnight every night this week that I've had off of work. But not tonight, New Year's Eve. On principle, and I'm just tired, and too much drinking already ( Read more... )

On Tuesday next week I'm getting a vasectomy. I'm kind of nervous about it, but that's natural, I guess. I was prescribed a valium to take before I go in for the procedure, so that I'm actually looking forward to ( Read more... )

The problem with Spotify is it's too much wealth. This is what heaven is like for a music fan, and I don't know which of the pleasures to indulge in first. I end up paralyzed by my inability to decide ( Read more... )

The following was written last night, in a drunken stupor, and the internets were down, so I couldn't post. This is cut and pasted from a text file twenty hours after the fact. Enjoy, and I'm sorry.

---All I want to do is update to the ol' Livejournal, so I can go to bed. Am I asking too much? Is it unreasonable of me to click on the "Log In" ( Read more... )

When exactly did I turn into a Deadhead? Day and hour? Time and place? I could not tell you. Having a child and naming her Magnolia was either the turning point or merely an after-the-fact no-doubt indicator ( Read more... )

I'm enjoying the living daylights out of Digital Gunfire. This is exactly what I need on a bright autumn Sunday afternoon. Dark music. Throbbing pulse, pretentous lyrics, obscure samples, minor keys ( Read more... )

It was like the sappiest, corniest, lamest music, like elevator music performed unironically by musicians who clearly couldn't care less; and yet, because all of the songs were sung in Norwegian, it made the ( Read more... )

It's not about how much I drink anymore, remember? Anyway, tomorrow will be different. Tomorrow will always be different. I'm reading The Happiness Hypothesis (look it up) and it's blowing my mind. The elephant versus the rider. I have a weak rider. A strong elephant. Do these sentences necessarily go together or is it because I'm drunk ( Read more... )

I would probably write more here in the ol' Livejournal (Holy living f*** that spellchecker is f***ing annoying. How do I shut it off? Is it the browser [SeaMonkey 2.4.1], my OS [Window$ 2000], Livejournal itself, WHAT? At any rate, it doesn't like "ol'," nor "Livejournal. This text here is, on my end of things, rife with red squiggly ( Read more... )
