Christmas was splendid this year. Thursday morning after returning from The Morgue, I saw Genesis off at the airport to see his maternal unit and family in California for two weeks, and then went straight to work without sleep. In the evening, we exchanged gifts within our own little household, all of which went over very well for all involved, ( Read more... )

Headed out to The Morgue at O'Zone last night to be sociable and to show Sarah off, as it was a bit of a homecoming for her since her previous owner, Michelle, used to bartend there. Oh, I miss the free drinks! The club was more crowded than I've ever seen it, so the thought of approaching the dance floor at all was just too icky, but I had fun ( Read more... )

Well, I think we have reached something of an accord ( Read more... )

I suspect I'm bumping up against some peoples' unresolved mortality issues here, but damnit, that shouldn't be my problem! I know life has a way of working things out for the best, though. There was a whole series of fortunate or unlikely coincidences starting with me wrecking my car that lead to getting the hearse in the first place, so I ( Read more... )

Checked out a couple local punk bands late at Churchill's last night and then dropped in on The Kitchen in the wee hours when the music was very good. Ov course, the good music was relegated to a disused lavatory located somewhere in the basement underneath the real club full of hip-hoppers, but at least it wasn't crowded. :/ I danced a bit, ( Read more... )

Just a few days ago, on Sunday the 5th, my landlady came pounding angrily on my front door. This is a woman whom I have only met twice in the eight months since I started a two-year lease on her house. Elisa has only met her once ( Read more... )

This is Sarah. I saved her from the clutches of Johnny Knoxville, who was going to blow her up in his next Jackass movie! She was named after her first end-loaded customer, as is traditional for some funeral homes...!

So yeah, I crashed my car a few weeks ago! My 2001 Subaru Outback Sport. Just another year to go and I would I would have had it totally paid off. I was driving with a co-worker -- Rachel! -- who I always end up in some sort of trouble with (see Skinny Puppy entry) We were lost and distracted in an area we didn't know, and then wham! I ran ( Read more... )

The Cramps played a few minutes from our house recently, as did Skinny Puppy, who I saw with Ellen, David, and my friend Rachel from work. Rachel didn't even make it through the gate before she got herself kicked out! Admittedly she'd had a few shots, and she tends toward the churlish when she's a bit lit, but David was close by and said she ( Read more... )
