horny grackles. so i was walking friday this evening and saw the first horny grackle of the spring, displaying for some females outside of east side pies. then we crossed rosewood and passed several dudes at the bus stop, one of whom went out of his way to let me know how much he liked my dog. ah, yes, spring is upon us once again. nothing like the ( Read more... )

arrgh! almost a month since my last post! anyway, it's cos i've been busy. i have a practice space for my band near home and i am my campus teacher of the year, and it's been 85 degrees two days in a row so all i wanna do is ride my bike. gotta get some sleep...

busy busy busy. fortunately (or not) i got yet another migraine today (the annual bout) and got someone to sub for my tutoring group after school. this was actually cool cos i have just had so much to DO this week, i was welcoming the time to myself to chill out. but i didn't go to yoga, which i'd been trying to do.

tomorrow i have my drum lesson. ( Read more... )

best part of the inauguration? after i took the kiddies to lunch, watching bush depart the capitol in the helicopter. better than the ushering in of an administration of change, seeing the personification of eight crappy, crappy years take off made me teary-eyed.

couldn't sleep last night, too bothered about asshole number two. so i wrote him an email telling him i can't have anything to do with him cos it's too depressing and i'm sorry his gf is an emotional warden and good luck on the ho chi minh trail. i know emailed ultimatums and such is a shitty way to go, but if i'd said it in person it would have ( Read more... )

yeah, i have flaked on my journal, but shit, so much has gone down, and i've really wanted to update with a hi-kwality post, full of gossip, insight, and humor, but every time i sat down to write, another pile of bullshit was dumped in my lap. i'll try to make this as fun for us as possible.
let's try it in reverse mode: okay, so the title to this ( Read more... )

went to see ma and pa yesterday. my parents rock. know why? cos they are up on my shit cos they read this blog and my father told me, "what is this crap about how these losers don't know where they are emotionally? they got that from some movie or tv. *I* don't know where i am emotionally, and i'm 65. it keeps changing." BOOM CRASH BOOM! that's how ( Read more... )

austin bike zoo just caravanned past my house with their bikes for tonight's festivities downtown while i was editing the loser recap. friday and i were watching from the window and lo, who should be pedalling along but that old favorite, bike guy. now with less hair than ever. my cellphone just rang downstairs and i'd put my money on some other ( Read more... )
