Flat Tuesday
What a bust.
Portland’s affection for Mardi Gras has grown over the last few years, as have the celebrations. I had high hopes as I headed off to work yesterday.
Man, what a sausage-fest. Read the rest of this entry »
All that and a bag of chips…
I think it’s getting better. Fingers crossed, legs uncrossed for a change.
Like the Disturbed song, I been Down With The Sickness.
For the last couple of weeks I’ve been hearing about how everyone was feeling like crap, ugh, etc… I’m out in public all the time, am exposed to all kinds of crud, germs, plagues. I have a hearty immune system, but once or twice a year something gets through.
This week, it was my turn. Read the rest of this entry »

If it’s good enough for the President…
…it’s good enough for me!
The missing operative word here is bump.
Raven hates it when I refer to her as my fisting partner. It’s always good for an “EWWW!”
Just call me Knuckles.
Public Intoxication
What is it with people these days?
I’ve been witness to, and the recipient of, a lot of bad attitude lately. Economy? Time of year? Didn’t get any for Valentines Day? Whatever it is, it’s been going around. Read the rest of this entry »
*Me* Time
Another fine weekend has come and gone.
While uneventful, it was nice to get away from the whole work thing. The public has been wearing thin on me. The friends I want to hang out with are occupied. Seemed opportune to catch up on *me* time.
Highlights? It certainly wasn’t Shaquille O’Neal’s minstrel-in-reverse dance moves during the NBA All-Star introductions, or the game itself. It wasn’t the repeated viewings of the wet-crotched old man being cuffed and stuffed on the opening credits of COPS, or the repeated showings of vandalism at a school up north. Fun would be found away from the TV.
I took a long bus ride through my old neighborhood of the 1990s. Not much had changed, other than a few store fronts. I saw familiar faces. They looked at me, not sure if they were seeing who they thought. (Yeah, it was me.) I kept the tunes loud, the shades on and eyes pointed out the window. I wasn’t looking for conversation.
I pondered Valentine’s Day, and how it has never been a good holiday for me. I didn’t participate this year; why bother? It’s *me* time. I’ll send the love inward.
So it was back to my room, in front of the TV. I watched a couple of slasher movies. I watched W., which pretty much confirmed my opinions about our former president. (Heh. Heh.) It was worthy viewing. After, I watched a documentary on the White House. I’ve had my civics lessons for the next couple of months.
And now? I’m tiring of the COPS marathon, so I’ll dig into the video vault and find a movie, something I’ve been saving for a special occasion. I need a laugh…
Tomorrow, the work week starts. I have projects with Art East; hopefully he’ll be available. Last I saw, he was heading off to the woods to try some cyber-experiment that should either provoke compatibility or answer once and for all the Mac vs. PC question. I’m afraid he may have sucked himself into some sort of vortex.
I’ll let you know what he found out, just as soon as he lands…
Save the Big Pieces
Top o’ the mornin’ to ya!
It’s a glorious Wednesday, the sun is out, and I have the day off. I should be out chasing girls!
Actually… not. I should be sitting here appreciative of the ones already in my life.
While ‘time with the boys’ is important, I spend most of my social time with the fairer sex. I tend to cultivate friendships with women over men. Sleepovers are more appealing. (Too drunk? Sorry dude, you’re on the floor.) I can’t ever seem to get the all-in-one package, so I piece-meal my love life together. Read the rest of this entry »
