I'll be drinking beer at some point....grilling food at some point...playing kickball at some point...

and that's Sunday - nothing much planned till then.

Tonight: Clean up this hole a bit, my desk is a disaster.

Tomorrow: Not a clue, probably knock out some work that needs to get done before next week, just to get ahead.

Sunday: Play lacrosse with my youngest brother

this reminds me i need more discs/tapes for mixes. i'll probably work on my mix more this weekend too. i started an initial tracklisting on wednesday, but am nowhere near complete.

nice! looking forward to the mixes guys. thanks again.

me: dinner with some friends tonight

yardwork tomorrow AM. then my first ever accupuncture appointment. i'm a little nervous, but completely fed up with my doctor and my chiropractor -- my friggin' back is killing me.

tomorrow night, going out for a friends birthday.

sunday, it's supposed to be cold and possibly snowy (as opposed to 70's today), so probably hunker down, drink beer and watch dvd's.

Official announcement: Aural Fixation has given up alcoholic bevvies for a couple of months. Ok...maybe an occasional glass of wine...but, THAT'S IT! I shall keep you posted as to when I will resume posting random shit while intoxicated. In the meantime, I'll post random shit while sober.

Tonight: Go see TSOOL at Tower instore. Flirt outrageously with sexy guitarist. Possibly meet my sister and her friends for non-cocktails afterwards.

Saturday: Go to gym. Do girly stuff (manicure and pedicure). Get my taxes done. Catch up on my Netflix viewing.

Sunday: Sleep in. Go to gym. Get truck washed. Laundry. Maybe spring clean.


Damn, what a boring weekend. I guess they can't all be rockstar events.

You have been good company, T. I'll try to keep up the momentum.

oh shit they've been celebrating my passing my drug test here for the past half hour and one of my coworkers just went on a beer run. this will be a long, long, long night. I will make it my point to find that Hold Steady song before i fall asleep tonight.

Jason, I think you'll be pleased. I think you'll notice a real difference. There's a reason Chinese and eastern medicine has been around so long.

...because Chinese and eastern people have been around so long?
...because China isolated themselves from the world and almost unilaterally rejected modern medicine for hundreds of years?
...because it works?

I'm just taking shots in the dark here...

nearly anything will "work" if you believe it does

time for me to cancel that order of Viagra, then...

I'll still be here to encourage all sorts of drunkeness.

Tonight:
- order Thai food, write paper #1

Tomorrow:
- write paper #2, have friends over to celebrate my birthday

Sunday:
- write paper #3, record shop with birthday money if time permits

Taxes done -- getting 299$US return from State, paying 183$US in federal -- I am taking it easy, all Don Henley like.

Later, I will go to the midnite screening of Up in Smoke at the Times.

But, before the second, texting a anthropology grad. student to see if she'll have time, following the academic conference at which she is volunteering, to take in the show with me.

More just to fuck with her, though. But, shh, that's a secret.

can someone please make this night be over.

Autolux was amazing last night in Chicago. I really wanted to stick around for Ambulance, but about two songs in there was no way they were going to compete against Autolux's set, so we left. Don't miss this.

Yay for Autolux!! I knew you kids would love them.

ended up going to see digable planets last night @ the el rey.... good lord that show was OFF THE HOOK. their new material sounds really good. i've never seen the el rey go off the way it did last night.

now i'm off to the grand prix, my boss came through with pit passes, it's gonna be so much fun (although i don't know if the loudness will do any good with the hangover i have).

You dOOdz, you know me too well.

But, seriously, it was just to fuck with her, drop some IED in her dome telephonically, weird her out but leave her still turned on a little bit.

I have that effect on women.

I have the (intermittent) kavorka.

Some women out this way, my way, that I've known over the years (erm, since late '97, really), who would be able to do so much better than I -- they were not catholic in their slamming-ness, but each was considerably more physically attractive than I, and not anywhere near as weird (then again, they seemed into me, so who knows? you'd have to be pretty f'd in the head to reach that point, finding me fetching) -- have taken a shine to me... Some without even any prompting -- looking at you, home-schooled, Christian-ska fan Meredith, and you, coffee-house chanteuse, South Dakotan-by-the-grace-of-Got Katherine, and you, already-shacked-up-with-a-UW-Madtown-Jap, San-Diego-native Melissa.

It's strange, you know.

From where my power to "lure" some women derives, I know not. Could it have been the Civil War era sideburns I have boasted on-and-off since returning from Mexico in July '97? My meth-addled (though, I've never done meth; my spasms of ink are "natural") prose? My buck-toothed, overbitten, shit-eating grin, the three combined yielding a speech impediment?

Bitchez is crazy.

Crazy, I tell you.

They're fuckin' crazy.
