Aug. 22 - Fake Fics at Empty Bottle, opening for California's own Mika Miko

In case you get homesick

Had a good day yesterday: got up early, worked until 9:15, drove out to Loyola, got set up to play that radio show, wandered around Loyola and Rogers Park with Sarah and Ben for awhile, drank too much coffee, played well on the radio show, went to Heartland for lunch, came home and took a nap, watched a little baseball, went to Bridget's for portabello burgers and Boggle.

while giving me the tour of the kitchen the female attorney pointed to a cupboard and said, this is the emergency supplies, and pulled out a bottle of Jimmy Walker Black.

Ah, lawyers.

If a lawyer pulls out a bottle of booze, it's classy. If a janitor does it, he's fucking fired.

well.... it's lawyer-y, anywayy, anyway

whoa, what did I do there? I did not type that

ha ha

Yesterday ruled! I want every weekday to include homecooked breakfast, band activities subsidized by my work (ie: paid day off while playing on radio), a long nap, a social activity, and a walk on a beautiful summer evening.

Hi Sarah I am bored.

Nick, hhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiii. I'm makin' you an email.

Hey - quick vote. Would you guys be more likely to be able to make my bday party if it were on September 7th (a Friday) or Sept 15th (a Saturday)?

Either day.

I'm makin' you an email.

This is really funny to me. Like it maybe involves tape and staples.

More likely on the 7th, since I'll actually be in-state, but don't make any decisions just because of me.

in the future, email will be able to send construction paper

It's possible I could attend on the 7th since we'll be in town for our thing on the 8th, although we might be driving down & thus landing in chicago very late.

I've had fantasies about being able to attach a pizza in an e-mail and send it to myself for later. This would be handy if you're on the road and not hungry, but you pass a place that has really good food.

HAH! awesome.

I have had dreams where I emailed people things that canoot ordinarily be emailed.

cannot

canoot is Canadian

God, I cannot stop listening to this recording of 'When My Dreamboat Comes Home' by Mark Br4ud's band. It is the funkiest thing I've ever heard, I'll e-mail it if anyone wants to hear it.

yes plz

I woke up at like 5:30 this morning and had trouble getting back to sleep because my back hurt. I spent the next two and a half hours in a weird half-asleep dream-state, in which I would have dreams about waking up from my dreams. In one, a Port-a-Pottie hole appeared in the corner of my bed, and for some reason I was kneeling above it with a pair of scissors in each hand. Then I "woke up" from that dream and realized I still had the scissors on my hands, like maybe I'd been sleepwalking, and freaked out and apologized to Kr because it could have spelled danger. She said she'd felt a poke on her back from the scissors. Then I *really* woke up and I was lying down and the room was dark and Kr was totally asleep.

It's entirely possible that I was talking in my sleep, too, but I'm not sure because I kept having dreams where I was talking but then realizing that it was all a dream and so then trying to actually talk but then that might have been a dream, too.

nah. Sleep talking only happens when you're so dead asleep you could never remember anything. Same with sleep walking, etc. I used to do weird things in my sleep a lot, but I also used to sleep a lot better. :(

More likely on the 7th, since I'll actually be in-state, but don't make any decisions just because of me.
Dude, the whole point of having a party is to celebrate with friends, so it's important to me that my friends be able to come! Ben couldn't come that day either (15th) so I'm hoping the 7th will be the best solution. We'll see. I will keep you posted. If anyone can't make the 7th, let me know and maybe I'll go back to the 15th depending on the number of No's or try for later in September. People be busy. It would be awesome if you guys could come, Kelsey!

The 15th is not good for me but the 7th is.

Also, remember how I got an offer from a bar for $3 all-drinks for everyone and a free meal/drinks for me because it's my birthday? Well, they wrote me again to pick a Friday in August and I picked Friday the 31st. I'll put the location in an e-mail closer to the date since it might not be prudent to say "drinks for all my friends" on the Internet, but it can be a casual thirsty-Friday deal if some are interested.

She said she'd felt a poke on her back from the scissors.

Very interestink, Zhon.

Otherwise, I will be there alone, al fresco, eating my birthday steak.

Oops, I pasted John's comment in between what I had written about drinks and then steak.

Well, I guess what I mean is, I could've been talking while in my half-sleep state, but I don't know if it actually happened or not because I was having a lot of trouble differentiating reality at that point.

Totally. I just didn't want you to change it if I was the only one who couldn't make it.

BACK TO BACK PAR-TAYS!!

I ate a GLBT (guac, lettuce, bacon, tomato) sandwich the other day, which sounds good but I think it's what made me sick the next day. Guac is something I think I feel compelled to like but actually do not like all that much.

I had a glbt sandwich once, too, and I got sick. With guilt and shame.

Heh heh.

I love homemade guac.

This one was from a little place that has its own cookbook and a good reputation, but I have yet to really connect with a sandwich there.

There's a new cafe around the corner from our house that we theoretically love but have yet to connect with anything they serve aside from the coffee. it makes me sad.

I have posted to the two-truths-and-a-lie page.

I am stumped. They are all plausible in their own way.

Especially after googling your mom.

web searching

1) what should sarah and I do this weekend, besides see "superbad" at some point?
2) where should I get lunch this afternoon?

3) what does god smell like?
