We spent three days in Las Vegas at the Excalibur, a medieval-themed hotel/casino.  We only spent $35-40 gambling; nothing kills a vacation like money sorrows.  The Excalibur has the Tournament of Kings, an awesome dinner show with pyrotechnics, jousting/swordplay, sing-alongs and eating with your hands.  Also, the shops have a dragon theme.  Y'all ( Read more... )

Enough of this "I'm comfortable with who I am" horseshit. I'm tired of looking in the mirror and seeing Me + 12 Years. So, with Angela's help, My VanDyke (goatee/moustache combo) is once again a deep lustrous brown. Now I'm fighting off the ladies with a stick. They have sticks, and they attack me for no reason at all.

NIN with Bauhaus at Red Rocks last night. Bitchin' as a brand new kitchen. I still think a Bauhaus concert is a gothic rite of passage. I figured, "Oh well, we can't swing tickets to THAT." Angela pushed on, undaunted by my..........um, dauntedness ( Read more... )

Is it easier to try to make this life exactly what we want, instead of preparing for the next one?

The reason you saw two entries from me about Opusfest is that I thought I deleted the first one by mistake. Sorry 'bout that.

Angela and I went to Opusfest, to revel in the glory of hefty ponytailed guys swinging foam bat'leths and girls with more facial piercings than Pinhead from Hellraiser. We are pro-con, which looks like an oxymoron but you know what the hell I mean ( Read more... )

At the grocery store, I bought a sandwich, a bottle of soda and a candy bar. The bagger asks me "Would you like help outside?"

Ummm................................................................NOOOOOO?

Good thing I didn't buy Tic-Tacs, or she would've had me in one of those shopping scooters.

That's it - I'm coloring my beard. Maybe blue.

To celebrate my being laid off by this coming October, Angela sold one of her kidneys and snagged tickets to the NIN/Bauhaus at Red Rocks May 30th. I've never seen either band live, and to see Bauhaus will be the final validation of my 11 years of gothitude.

Well, it's in today's local paper and on the news, so I hereby announce that I am part of something bigger than myself. As of October 1st, I'll be One of The Downsized. B of A is closing half a dozen call centers, including Colorado. It's the biggest local layoff (aprx. 670 people) since 1998 ( Read more... )
