teaching...revisited.
Friday, March 30, 2007 10:51 p.m.

So, the whole teaching experience: Went to my aunt's house last night...practiced a few things and passed out. My uncle drove me over in the morning. I got there and BAM...showtime.

The other poets: BJ W, Kazim A, Genine, Major J, and the fiction writers: Jacob A, Natalie D.

We basically just got on stage and read for 5 minutes each. Answered some questions...then for the next two 40 minute periods...we did some more of the same. Answered a few questions...and I even played "flame & wax" and gave out pretty much all of my CDs...the kids loved it.

And when I mean kids...some of them were teeny, tiny...and some of them looked so old...there was a row of "hot girls" that looked like they could have been at least college age...yipes.

Anyways, faculty lunch with some kids and I met some teachers who were cool. Alisha (who put it all together), Laura Y (who was a former alum and was teaching now) and Molly (whose class I took over...more on that later) and Susan D (she was the director)...pretty cool. Talked with the other writers too...BJ read like he should have been a voice actor...and Major's stuff was just great...he even invited me to go to Philly for a poety/music festival.

After lunch...went to Molly's class and did my "gum exercise" the kids seemed to really love it. I gave out the gum and had kids tap into their senses and memory...and write...then I told them how we find the universal in particulars...how the bottleneck effect works best when we filter these huge lofty ideas and bring them down to one concrete snapshot. Then I had them trade gum and demonstrated how these "different flavors" represented people's different, but similar experiences. I thought it was a big hit.

Then we had an open mic thing in the library...some kids read and I read again...and then Susan invited me to come back and work with some individual classes and stuff. Hey, this might lead to a permanent job one day...

All-in-all...it was a great experience...and the check is in the mail...and yeah, I spent the money already...I got myself a nice Martin guitar...which should be here sometime early next week.

Jam packed day...and I am exhausted...not to mention, I applied to a job at DC yesterday, and had lunch with JB and the cute coworker....which I am desperately trying not to have an insane crush on...and well, I've got the crazy long freelance article that I have to work on all week...and I booked a gig with JB for the 17th...man, I'm going to be insanely busy. Good...but tiring. Hey, I've got to keep on going, right?

ups and downs...
Wednesday, March 28, 2007 09:47 p.m.

Wow...I'm just a moody ass lately. Just up and down. I'm not sure if it is the weather changing, if it's the new situation at work, if it's...whatever...but I have just been all over the place. PTS...testosterone make HULK crazy !

Anyways, finally got to see Cindy and we went to BLT Burger...had a really good chat with her and some drinks...I apologize for whining so much. But that's just me. And she got me lots of goodies from the UK! FHM magazine is like 100 times racier there...sheesh what happened ?!?!? It's like worse than Playboy even...yipes. I'll stick to good ol' Maxim.

So, she'll be around for at least 6 months. I'm hoping she stays longer...but I better be seeing a lot of her this spring/summer!

Work...blecch...crazy busy. BUT I did apply to a job at DC..so I will email my contacts there and give them a heads-up...hopefully I will be able to get some kind of response...anything!

Picked up dry cleaning, had fastfood with mom and baby...and ANTM...oh, man...Diana ....NOOOO! She's still hot in my book.

Ok...LOST in ten minutes. And one more day of work...then off to Jersey...which I found out...it's 5 NYU alums speaking ! WHOAH! cool.

are you watching closely?
Monday, March 26, 2007 09:40 p.m.

The big day: everyone in our department is on one floor now...and it is super creepy...so many more people...and yet really, really quiet. Not sure if people want to make a good impression or what...but it's been seriously weird. Anyways, new neighbors seem nice enough...but at the same time...I'm not sure what to make of anything.

Had lunch at Chipotle with the regular gang...and the cute coworker...well, she is still super cute but...I can't really do anything and it frustrates me to no end. Sigh...

I was up until 4 last night tossing and turning...thinking about the past, present, and future...and just making myself upset and sad for no reason. I just need a goal to move towards...I need to be motivated again.

Was reading Spidey comics...and I got a little choked up...the scenes with MJ and Uncle Ben...arrgh. They cut deep! Spidey...he has that one person in his life that makes him feel invincible...having MJ in his life. That's something I thought I had once...and I miss having that feeling...having someone in your corner...rooting for you, no matter the odds. Lord, I want that again so badly.

Anyhoo...picked up "The Prestige"...which I have been wanting to see since it came out...it was good...but I was a little disappointed...

This is why you shouldn't see movies with me. MAJOR MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE...

I was screaming... "He's got a twin brother!!!!" less than halfway through the movie. The only thing I wasn't sure of was the Tesla experiment part...that kind of became all sci-fi-y to me...but I went with it...and it was how it was supposed to be. Maybe I've just seen too many movies to be surprised anymore. This and "The Illusionist"...would have been more surprising if they had come out 10 years ago...seriously.

Anyways, yeah...I'm not a good person to see movies like this with.

More work...dinner with Cindy...FINALLY!

down...down.
Saturday, March 24, 2007 10:50 p.m.

Friday turned out to be a bit of a downer. An off the cuff remark pissed my friend off (long story short, it was something silly, I won't mention it again)...then 2 minutes later...my friend out of the blue suggested I try eharmony (which I did like 2 years ago...and nothing ever came of it)...followed by some coworkers saying I shouldn't be buying DVDs...basically...it was a 5 minute perfect storm of me feeling supershitty. I just feel absolutely inadequate and that I can't even do the simplest things right anymore. It's like having the teacher and your mom telling you, you suck...one after another...and it kind of ruined my day.

And then...I got in to a little heart-to-heart with the cute coworker...she shared a bit about what she is going through ...and it was kind of similar to where I've been before....but seriously, an incredible girl like that doesn't stay on the market for long. In any case, we had a bit of a moment...she's turning out to be a great friend.

Basically, I just feel kinda down...the whole job situation is going to get a lot more tense with everyone moving to the same floor, the new project kicking off with an insane schedule and amount of work, and the whole...not having anyone thing.

I mean, I don't even have anyone to go to the movies with anymore. Even if I wanted to see a movie in the theaters...all my friends are coupled off or too busy for me...and Justin ...he's grown now and has all his own friends. He asked me before..."Did you see 300 yet? I'll go see it again with you."...I feel so pathetic. How does a 31 year old set about to make new single friends nowadays? Seriously, I think that's the problem...if I had a girlfriend at least I could be double-dating and not feeling like a third wheel or whatever...wait, if I had a girlfriend...none of this would be a problem!

Anyways, had dinner with the folks...working on latest freelance article...prepping for the reading festival/teaching thing...and watched "Blood Diamond" and "Running With Scissors"...both of which were great.

So yeah...another weekend keeping busy...but still thinking of what it feels like to be with someone...I can't even imagine it at this point. I've become so unsure of myself...and just generally feeling crappy.

Even my mom said something that upset me today...but it was in a "big picture" kind of way...just enforced my cynical view of the world....not gonna even say what it was.

Anyways, I'm still feeling kinda crappy. Cleaning makes me feel a little better...but that's just the OCD tendencies being met in little increments.

How did my life get like this? What happened to everybody? I mean, I pray everyday for a list of people I have not seen ...some in months or even years... I know that I think about them every day...but have I made actual contact with them? I wonder am I being anti-social and not calling? Or do people just not call back anymore? My days have been a blur because of the work schedule...so maybe I'm just realizing this during the recent week and a half or so of down time...which pretty much is over before it really had much time to settle in. Who knows...I can't keep track anymore.

Sigh...same things that bug me. Need a new job. Need a girl. When does this change?

back to work...
Wednesday, March 21, 2007 08:42 p.m.

Yeah...it's begun again. After like a week and a half of down time...it's gonna go full throttle again. I guess being busy is good. Less distractions...and it will keep my mind off of things.

Woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and just tossed and turned the rest of the night...therefore I am a bit of a wreck at the moment. So, what's new?

Comics... eh...not many today. DVDs are coming in...when am I ever gonna get a chance to watch them? Man, I'll just use vacation time...Ultimate James Bond collection...that is going to take me years to get through! But the boxes are so cool looking.

ANTM: My favorites are still Renee and Diana...I would love to meet like a "plus-size" model type of girl...just gorgeous with a little meat on her bones. Perfect for me...

Anyhoo... waiting around for LOST. Wondering about where the spring will take me. Teaching in NJ next week...taking a few days off...and then...who knows what down the line. Placebo on April 17th...need someone to go with me...which leads me to...

I have no single friends left. Guys or girls. All of my friends have officially coupled off or are engaged or married...some are even having babies! And...the cheese stands alone. Seriously, it's not even the fact that I'm not dating anyone that bugs me...it's that I have no one to even hang out with anymore. I dunno...I just feel weird hanging out with my friends...as if "I'm taking them away from something" or if I'm playing third wheel. It's gotten to the point where I am just used to being alone and lonely. Sad...and pathetic...but that just comes with the territory. I kinda want people to break up...just so I have someone to do stuff with. It's hard making new friends nowadays.

Cute coworker...I think I may have to give up on that. The work thing is just too difficult...and it's not even a question of if she would be ready...not even a consideration...since I may not be ready. Look at my track record! I am an absolute wreck! Poor judge of character...and I just get into crazy situations...it's just...unimaginable...and you know, I'm just tired of disappointment and getting hurt...or embarassed.

So, yeah...looks like I'm going to be alone for a long time. Unless there is some insane surprise coming my way...I'm just going to keep doing my thing until my course changes.

I was reading a comic and there was a line where it says "names lead destiny"...well...I'm supposed to be a "father of nations"...so who do I get to get preggers if I can't manage a relationship for more than a couple of months? Cosmic irony...the whole name thing.

Oh, and the blog...man, I wonder if anyone snoops around and finds this. Obviously, I don't put EVERYTHING on here and I know there are only a few consistent readers ...I mainly do it for myself as a record of my days on this planet...but still...am I being too frank and honest? Am I saying too much (like I do in real life...duh)...eh...it's a stupid blog...and it's out there...but kinda not.

Speaking of which...those of you that I KNOW read this...I haven't heard from you in a while. I blame myself for being lazy, depressed, antisocial, wrapped up in stupid things...sorry. So you'll hear from me soon...unless I hear from you first.

Thursday...work! And then Friday is packing day...wooot.

Boredom...ain't so bad...but loneliness kinda sucks bawwwls.

weekend...bleh
Monday, March 19, 2007 11:33 a.m.

Not much going on... I just watched DVDs and cleaned up. Casino Royale was insanely good. Daniel Craig made me a believer...and Eva Green is just supersuper hot in that.

Watched some of the Shawshank Redemption dvd extras...and I got all teary-eyed. Seriously...just clips from the movie. But the top three movies guaranteed to make dudes cry: Braveheart, Shawshank, Good Will Hunting. Serious.

Saw the folks and Justin, took a major nap...and couldn't sleep... BSG was awesome and it looks like the spoilers are true !!! And Lee...you frakkin' idiot.

Watched ALIAS...Rachel Nichols is more cute than sexy (from her Maxim pics)...and she reminds me of Michelle Trachtenberg...weird. And Amy Acker...how cute is she ?!?!? Even as an assassin.

Have you upgraded to the new itunes? The artwork thing is so much fun and purdy...though for some reason, lots of albums don't work right...but at least you can get the art from amazon or something.

No real work today...took forever to get in.....and I am crazy tired. Ugh...sleep !!! Mondays...blech.

man-date
Friday, March 16, 2007 12:14 a.m.

Not much going on at work at all...free breakfast and free lunch... had pizza...but then got sand bagged and it turned into a meeting.

Other than that...not much going on...the coworker is still like supercute...but I'm starting to get scared. And yes...I'm on IM with her right now. :P

So...I met up with the comic dude...and the first thing he ordered was an appletini...I was like...JD ...is that you ?!?!?

Anyways, we had a very good discussion about comics and the state of the industry. He was talking about how hard it is to deal with creative types and scheduling and money. Had a good talk about current storylines and such.

And he picked up the tab...and expensed it...pretty cool. But I wonder why he wanted to meet up and talk anyways? Was it to just get a meal on the company dime? They weren't hiring...so it's puzzling.

Anyhooo...it was cool. But the best part...I popped into my old comic store just to check it out...and G was there ! I thought she had left! But apparently she just started back again...and she is still gorgeous...and she said she really liked my hair...I was speechless. She is the cutest girl to ever work in a comic store...EVER!

Oh...and I bought an awesome black and green-striped track suit from Filene's...it was freezing out...so I had to get something to wear...pretty cool. But I spent too much money today.

Insanely itchy rash on my legs. Back is sore...and weather is insanely bad...guess who is taking a sick day!

TGIF!

Comics!
Wednesday, March 14, 2007 08:11 p.m.

I actually had work to do this morning...a whole hour's worth...I LOVE IT...but it is all coming to an end next week. Sigh...back to the grind.

Went out and got comics...and the place was packed at 11:15! Lots of people just getting Captain America...oh, come on...seriously. The nerdstink there was pretty bad...but comics were pretty dang awesome this week. And the new Buffy comic...what a great way to kick things off. JOSS!!!!

Speaking of which...I got the coworker a copy...and she was flabbergasted and seriously ...you'd think it was the nicest thing anyone did for her...man, I would be such an awesome boyfriend! Sigh...anyhoo...trying not to come on too strong...and I feel just all sorts of weird about it...so I think I may need to really lay low for a bit.

Have you tried "formula 50" vitamin water? It is GRAPE DRINK...inspired by 50 Cent...it's like watered down Dimetapp...which is AWESOME.

Did I mention that I bought EVERY Bond movie...insanely cheap deal...let's just say I got 21 movies...42 DVDs for less than 150 bucks. I am totally watching "Moonraker" and "Casino Royale" this weekend.

I think all the ALIAS has given me spies on the brain...but I'm almost done with Season 4...and after Season 5...it will all be done. I guess I need to watch 24 after that then?

In all fairness...things are going pretty well at the moment...but I was talking to K today...and we always have that "blue chick"...work is hers...and of course...you know mine. I'm so ready to switch....but I'm just coasting at the moment...

Got Placebo tickets ...now just have to see if coworker bites...if not...who wants to go with me ? April 11!

I am so sleepy...I am physically exhausted...but my brain is full-tilt...I just need to rest and shut down this weekend.

"Dude date" tomorrow...could be a good connection...but I am so not touching his wang ! HAHHAHAH!!!

Ok...ANTM... how hot is Diana? Even though she is a plus size model...she is like the hottest next to Renee...who kinda sucks. Jael...poor crazy girl.

LOST... SPOILERS !!!!!

Ok...I called this AGES ago...the whole "list" thing and how the people who were not on the list were not "pure"... I knew it! Well, I went a step further and mentioned that the ones that were not on the list were touched by death...meaning they killed someone or almost killed someone...still to be confirmed...but it looks like it is getting there.

AND... yes...Claire and Jack are siblings!!! Rumors finally are confirmed...and can I say...I think Jack Shepard is still alive and somehow plays into all of this.

Um...ALIAS...Rambaldi, numbers, fake deaths etc...I think it's a recurring thing with JJ Abrams...also...stellar writing crew...Drew Goddard (Buffy/Angel), jeph Loeb (Heroes/lots of comics, Brian K. Vaughn (one of my fave comic writers)... so...LOST is getting better. Finale better be good.

what really matters...
Tuesday, March 13, 2007 11:04 p.m.

Work...I finished a little chart...and that was pretty much it. The rest of the day was cleaning up and hanging out.

Ok...the coworker. We have this little "you owe me a Coke" thing going on..like the Office...so today I finally bought her the Coke...I thought it was cute. And then she was going on about how she came all the way out to the LES last night...and how she was going to milk that...and I told her that I would owe her one "event"...and then she didn't respond.

And then she said how she kids around with her other coworkers about how they love their boss because he acts like they don't exist...and I said "um, did you just say something to me?" and she was like "iloveyou"...so hilarious. The banter!

Anyways...I CANNOT let myself get too wrapped up. I mean, I don't really know her all that well...but she is insanely cute, great figure, cracks me up, she likes my silly tv shows, she can banter like nobody's business, and she seems very, very normal. My goodness...is she God's gift to man? What the heck am I supposed to do?

Obviously, I have been burned before...and I must MUST be careful in such things as this...but if I got a new job...I would be an idiot to not ask this girl out. Yes, we've all got baggage...but I've been dying for an excuse to let go of mine.

This could all turn out to be another one of those "friend" things...and well, thems the breaks...but if not...well, you heard it here first.

And yeah...she was online and I was IMing her while I typed all of this. Funny, huh?

Anyhoo...after work went to St. Mark's to meet up with Gloria... she's been going through some major tough times with family stuff. So, we talked for a bit, had a bunch of beers, some good Japanese bar food...and just tried to reflect on the things that are important.

Some sad stuff...but it's not for me to share...but the fun stuff...her folks have a girl shih-tzu...SO CUTE...and they named it ..."Gloria"...HILARIOUS!!!

Anyways, home...a ton of dvds and comics came in...and cleaned up. Work tomorrow...my last few days of down time...

Comics tomorrow!

fat baby show
Tuesday, March 13, 2007 09:33 a.m.

Ok...let's just skip to the good part.

Got to the venue on time. Hung out at the bar and talked to the bartender (Aaron) and had a drink until the sound guy came (Adam)...met this guy (mike) from this band that was going on last...talked a bit as we set up...cool guys. Sound there was pretty awesome and they had synched up lights and everything.

Anyhoo...waited around for a bit...this industrial band brought all these lights and machines...pretty ridiculous. So everything got pushed back. The first guy...wow..."super indie whiny voice" sang songs about food and his childhood.

I only got 4 people to come...a bit disheartening...but it was quality that mattered! K and her fiancee...and cute coworker and her friend!!!! Anyways, I went up there and ripped it! The sound was awesome...people got really into it (but I think I need to move the medley to the middle of the set from now on) and at one point when I was doing some of my guitar shredding...I heard some guy go "OH SH*T!"...pretty awesome. The bartender and the sound guy really dug it ...the sound guy even did a little harmony on my Duran Duran mini-cover...surprising...but it sounded awesome!

Afterwards...met some girl named Irene who totally loved my set...talked to her for a bit. And when I was leaving she kissed me on the cheek...whoah!

But the best part...K is such an amazing friend...and I love her fiance too...they are just so supportive and awesome. And well, the coworker was apparently impressed...and it meant a lot to me that she came out considering she had such a long commute home. Very cool. Major points.

So, K and her fiance live really close to me...and they drove ! I was home before 11 ! Awesome...so over all....even though it was the WORST turn out...it was one of my best shows. All you suckers that didn't come...you missed out.

laugh? cry?
Saturday, March 10, 2007 02:49 p.m.

Had nothing to do at work...and then called for my "phone interview" which was apparently...just to confirm that they should forward my resume to the right department...hmmm. So, I have to check back in a few weeks to see if anything comes of it.

Went to lunch with the gang...cutest waitress at the diner...but then I get back and check my email and that girl emailed me.

She said she wanted to come see me play and to talk on Monday...but she couldn't make it...so she said email would have to do...and basically...she's dating another woman. Goodness.

And honestly, it's not the first time this has happened to me...I mean..."L", "L", "S.O", "M", and a few others I went out with said they "dabbled" or "questioned" or whatever...so I am not in fact the "gaymaker"...but still...it's kind of weird that this seems to happen to me. I honestly think it's the "Asian male factor" as in Asian men are considered to be more feminine...and well, you get the picture.

So, she is off to India for a month to do research...but supposedly she still wants to see me and talk...and I am just wondering if it is worth it to be friends...sigh.

BUT... the coworker situation...I shared this great piece of news with her...and she shared that she had powers akin to mine...since all her boyfriends tend to move far away (but they aren't gay...ha)...and well, I am starting to get a little crush on her...but I am totally keeping it in check...since I have been burned before...boy, have I been burned before.

Anyhoo... I'm sure there are a ton of jokes to be made at my expense right now...but seriously, can't anyone find a nice, normal, STRAIGHT girl for me? I seriously am the poorest judge of character...judge of anything at this point.

Can Marisa Miller come and just take me away from all of this? Like now, please?

Sigh...gig Monday...please come. I feel crappy enough as it is...don't think I could stand playing for an empty room at this point.

um...it's not high school
Thursday, March 8, 2007 08:49 p.m.

Sigh...things at work. I'll keep it vague...someone started crying...I comforted her...someone could care less...and I had to talk to her. It's just so ...blaaargh...some people are just focused on themselves...but they deserve our compassion too. It is seriously too much to go into.

I answered 2 emails and a phone call today. I bought comics and dvds online the rest of the time.

Phone "interview" tomorrow....yipes. I don't even know how to prepare. Anyways...a lot on my mind lately.

Oh that girl at work...my other friend thinks we are "already a couple"...I don't see it...but I definitely think this girl is very cool. Will have to see if things happen naturally...because at the moment...I feel like damaged goods and I'm just not all that sure about anything.

I just want to de-stress this weekend and sleep.

Marissa Miller...so hot...make all of this go away !!!

TGIF...oh, yes.

RIP...Captain America
Wednesday, March 7, 2007 11:26 p.m.

Well, if you caught the news or read comics...you know that Captain America (Steve Rogers) was killed today... well, you know that no one really ever stays dead in comics (the saying used to have the addendum..."except for Bucky and Jason Todd"....who are both back and alive now...so...whatever)...in any case...my theory was that it wasn't really Cap...it was a clone or a life-model decoy...but others say it was really him. PHOOO-EY, I say! And Mighty Avengers...did Iron Man just turn into hotgirlUltron...or was he like that all through Civil War...color me confused.

Winding down work...and just at the finish line and the vendor screws up again. Frakkin' morons. Why would I want to see copies of pages I have already seen? I want to see the pages you are sending to the printer...clean files without my initials on them...frakkin' idiots. Just such amateurs...

Anyways, so now there is this girl at work that my friend thinks I should ask out...she thinks we have a "vibe" going on...um...hmmm. First off, the work thing is a big no-no, second...I'm feeling kinda down on myself. And the girl has some recent bad stuff happen to her...but the pluses...she is awfully cute, loves nerdthings that I love, she's witty...and unlike girls I've liked recently (heck, all my life) she seems very...normal. So normal that I wouldn't say I am insanely attracted to her...but she is cute...which is saying a lot since apparently I go bonkers for "crazy"...and since I haven't... I guess it is QED.... she's normal...sigh. We'll see if anything develops.

LOST...not too bad. ANTM...only girl I think is super hot is Renee...but she has a terrible personality and she's got a kid already...so, seems kinda too "grown up" ...definitely not up there like Caridee and Joanie...caught a second of the Pussycat Dolls show...HOT girls who can sing and dance...so glad I DVRed that.

Thursday? Dang it...why does this week seem so long?!??! I need to catch up on sleep majorly this weekend.

wow wow wee wow
Tuesday, March 6, 2007 10:19 p.m.

Man, stuff just keeps happening. I emailed this company that does guides and educational books with licensed properties...(DC/Marvel/Star Wars etc...) and they emailed me right back! Played phone tag for a bit...but finally settled on phone interview on Friday...what's the position? Who knows...but it could be good...let's wait and see.

Work...getting closer to the end...but it won't be final until Monday ?!??! urrgh! I just want it to be over already.

Got Borat, Peter Pan, and Korn today... Borat was pretty dang hilarious...if they do a special edition with more footage...I think I may need to buy it...and my friend from grad school who was on an episode of Ali G...well, apparently she is in the new Jack Nicholson movie.

Anyways...more stuff...FINALLY heard back from the bar...I need to bring at least 10 people to the show...please, please come...10 isn't a lot...but it is a Monday night...so who knows if anyone is going to show up...I am getting totally stressed from this.

Exhausted... lots of other stuff...at work...but won't mention it for now...interesting prospect...but it could be a bad idea...oh, man.

Welcome home, Cindy !!!

why is winter not over?
Monday, March 5, 2007 10:07 p.m.

Seriously, I thought we were headed for warm weather and tomorrow is supposed to be in the 20s and feel much colder? WTF?!?! I am so done with this.

Light day at work...left at 430 to get a haircut...pretty much my day... and yes, I got hit in the balls again by that stupid shampoo bottle. I think I am going to have to leave it on the floor or something. Idiot.

A ton of stuff I have to do...but I haven't been getting nearly enough sleep...so I best crash early tonight... last week of crazy work and then I can get a breather...

HEROES...so good! And Agents Alonso and Quesada...classic in-joke for nerds!

something funny...
Sunday, March 4, 2007 11:34 p.m.

Well, now it seems funny...a few days ago I was taking a shower and I was just about to shampoo my hair...I put the bottle back in the shower caddy...closed my eyes, lathered up...and the shampoo bottle slipped out...and hit me right in the nads. Oh, man...it hurt...but just for a second...but I was cracking up afterwards...just thought I'd share..."Ow, My Balls!" the show of the future...according to "Idiocracy"...

Anyways...got my freelance article done, almost done getting stuff together for my taxes, had dinner with the folks and did some major clean up and rearranging...gonna be a rought few days at work...but I think it is almost over... 3-4 more days and we are done! Should be some down time coming soon...and then co-workers moving down stairs...ugh.

Pretty much it...oh...and MAJOR SPOILERS for BSG....

WTF??? Is Starbuck dead??? Is she a Cylon? Oh man...wtf is going on ?!?!?

counting down
Saturday, March 3, 2007 10:55 p.m.

Friday: Just busy as all get out...but got a lot of work done. Whatever happens...these books will be at the printer by Thursday. I cannot wait for them to go away forever. woooo.

Went to Target and got some stuff...came home and did some major clean up...and that was pretty much it.

Saturday: Up early to meet Joyce and Adam in Forest Hills...not weird at all meeting them in Queens...had coffee, walked around, had pizza...good to catch up. Got some DVDs...and the WRONG size comic boards. CRAP...what the heck am I going to do with 100 pieces of cardboard cut to the wrong size??? I am an idiot...I have to think of something to do with them...but what???

So tired...cleaning up, rehearsing...trying to relax...but I have so much I didn't do...saving it for tomorrow after I get a major night's sleep...here's hoping.

Oh...and my neighbor saw me doing a huge loard of laundry and he was like "you need a wife"...I have never felt so pathetic.

Is it spring yet?

Got an incredible amount of work done today...and the light at the end of the tunnel is definitely getting brighter. I can almost taste it! Just a week to go and it will be done...man, I cannot wait.

Not much else going on...I watched ANTM and I have to say Renee is my favorite...look at that figure after having a baby 7 months ago! She actually looks kind of like what I imagine "Annie" from Nip/Tuck would look like when she grew up.

Oh...and Diana...the plus size model...man, I would love to meet a "big girl" who is just gorgeous and sassy...all these little girls I've been with just end up making me sad...well, whose to say that it wouldn't happen with a girl with a little thickness...maybe they are all the same no matter shape or size...I just end up with the crazies.

Anyways, a gajillion things I have to get ready. Have to get a press kit together for Imaginasian radio...and all the other stuff...OMG...I have to practice for my gig...I have not touched my guitar since Laugh Lounge...wtf was I thinking ?!?!?

TGIF...ow...I slept wrong last night. My neck is killing me.
