The Stench
It had been a long time since I had done my dishes. I tackled the project last night but it sucked because the smell was absolutely horrendous. I actually gagged a little at first. Then I lit some incense in the kitchen just to drown out whatever it was that smelt like dogshit in my [...]

Whiteout
On Saturday I picked up my brother and Pandy and we headed up into the mountains. We reached Copper Mountain at about 11:00 and skied till about 3:30. I was a beautiful, 15 spf, cloudless, electricbluesky day. The snow got a little hard towards the end of the day when everything cooled off but overall [...]

Sketchy Clubs & Rings
On Friday, before the movie, we went to the (relatively) new cajun place down on colfax (I can’t remember the name of it right now but I’ll erase this and put it in when I find out). The food was pretty good, not spectacular, but decent. For most of the meal, we were the only [...]

The Bone Palace Ballet
I was introduced to Charles Bukowski’s writing when I was a sophomore in college. Some hippie from Humbolt County came up to visit a roommate and told me to read him. I’m glad I listened. He is now one of my favorite authors. I fell in love with him almost immediately. That semester my drink, [...]

And Who Really Gives Two Shits
It was a nice long weekend. I stared it out by going over to my brothers and watched the 3 Days DVD while waiting for Pandy to come home with her out of town friend and five orders of phad thai and and greeen curry. After eating our huge meals, sucking on baloons and waiting [...]

Tell Edna Garrett I Said Hi
I’m starting to feel a lot better. My head has become unclogged but my body just seems to be exhausted. Last night I went to the booby bar with a bunch of guys from work. One of them had won a contest that included free cover, two free drinks, a free buffet (that actually included [...]

Cause It’s Got No Pressure
It’s pretty much guaranteed I stink to high hell right now. I’ve been sick all weekend, not deathly ill, but enough to make me roll around in sweaty hot flashes while sleeping. And I didn’t shower yesterday. Why shower when you’re not feeling well? Why bathe when it’s known that you won’t be leaving the [...]

I Will Not Get Sick
I felt like crap pretty much all weekend. A head cold. Snotty and leaking. Per protocol, I spent almost all weekend on the couch watching movies (thanks to NetFlix), making sure that my cold didn’t get any worse, and I started to feel better (or at least tried to). Friday night I watched Party Girl. [...]

Flowers For Algerhubs
Today was great. When I came into the office this morning the receptionist called me up and told me I had a FedEx waiting up front. I told her, “Cool thanks. I’ll be up there in a bit,” thinking that the proof for a report I had sent to the printers had arrived. After an [...]

Nice To Meet You For The First Time, Again
Last night I re-met two people. I went to my old haunt and to have a couple of beers. As I was talking to the bar tender this guys sits down next to me. We end up shooting the shit for a couple of hours. About an hour or so into the conversation I realize [...]

A Fairwell To Arms
I got an email from a reader offering to send me one of the books on my list. Since I hadn’t read it, I accepted and sent her my home address. A few days later it arrived with a note: “Hi! I hope you enjoy this more than I did. If, not don’t give up [...]

Lame-Ass Nerds
The weekend was a complete bore. I watched Attack Of The 50 Ft Woman on Saturday night. It was terrible. If you want to literally waste 2 hours of your life on a crappy B-movie that tries very unsuccessfully to mix feminism with kitsch and a hit-you-over-the-head metaphor, then be my guest, but I nearly [...]

For Some Reason
Well it turns out I didn’t miss out on the Sushi last night. I met my brother and a bunch of friends and some new people, who seemed to ignore me most of the night (thought I admitedly was not “on” at all and really didn’t have much interest. But it seems today, for some [...]
