My Mardi Gras
Last night I had my own personal Mardi Gras. I came home and fixed a big ol’ batch o’ jambalaya while watching all the hootenanny about gay marriage on the evening news. hoo-ha. I also did the dishes and cleaned up the living room but I won’t really get into that because it wasn’t part [...]

KHUBS Radio And Grey Tuesday
So I’ve been working on puting together KHUBS Radio for a little while now and I thought what better time to announce it than on Grey Tuesday. See, DJ Danger Mouse created a remixed album consisting of Jay-Z’s the Black Album and the Beatles White Album, and called it the Grey Album. Jay-Z’s record label, [...]

Winter Weekends
Friday I worked a little late into the evening and spent a quiet evening at home. I watched How To Lose a Guy In Ten Days. It was cute, laughable, fodder to wind down my week. I can appreciate an occasional fun chick flick despite how generally contrived and predictable it is. I was up [...]

Very Little Fanfare
I went out and grab a couple beers last night. I started out at the hippy bar, they were having their birthday with very little fanfare. Every once and a while one of the bartenders would scream out “Happy Birthday Sancho’s” but no free drinks or party favors or nothin’. Lousy hippies. I did have [...]

Lifting Heavy Loads
Yesterday the IT person here at work deleted the entire list of my personal contacts from my computer. They weren’t on the network so they are irretrievable. Gone for good. Dooced. Six years of collected phone numbers and addresses: distant family, old girlfriends, close friends who have moved away, christmas card crap, long forgotten email [...]

More Action Packed
This has been one of my more action packed and fun weekends in a while. On Saturday I woke real late having not got in bed till 4:00 am that morning and then tossing and turning till 5:00, or at least that was the last time I looked at the clock. At around two I [...]

I’ll Miss Him Terribly
On Friday I went over to Uncle Squiggley’s. It was a going away party for the Jones family. They’re moving to Atlanta. Mother Jones leaves today with the baby, Father Jones leaves at the beginning of March. I don’t think they’ll be coming back for anything more than visits. Mother Jones has tons of friends [...]
Wonder Twin Powers: Activate!
I watched both part one and part two of the X-men movies over the past week. I don’t know. I was never really into comic books and super heroes and crap. These kinds of things never really held my interest too much. I had a couple friends in elementary school that would collect and trade [...]

King Sized Confusion
Please, somebody tell me they saw the Anna Nicole Smith interview on Larry King Live last night. Oh, my god that was painful. Anna may have lost a lot of weight, but her head is still full of rocks. It got to the point where Larry King was actually answering his own questions cause he [...]

Warm Embrace
Christmas lights are strung on the moulding. They are plain white and don’t flash. I have a fake plastic tree in the corner. But I have seven or eight real plants in other corners. One of these plants, on the window sill, is dead. But I haven’t gotten rid of it yet. I have a [...]

The Mall
It’s been a fairly nice weekend. I kicked of Friday night with a rum and coke at the Warwick Hotel bar because…. well because it’s fun to drink at hotel bars sometimes. I spent most of Saturday in sweatpants watching movies, reading and catnapping. A couple of walks around the neighborhood inssured that couch-rigormortis didn’t [...]

Running With Scissors
Augusten Burrough’s first memoir, Running With Scissors is a paradox. The novel is filled to the brim with the awfulness and horrors of modern life. Pedophilia, excessive drug use, child abuse, rape, animal cruelty, exploitation, abandonment, sexual deviancy, coprophilia, mental illness, and manipulation all have their place in this novel. But somehow, despite all of [...]
