At my third bar
So far I’ve already seen 3 boobs and 5 people who passed out well before midnight. Including one on top of a speaker cab, which can’t be a comfortable thing to pass out on.

So...
Anybody else gonna wear a tie tonight?
partywok:
Just me?
I like getting ridiculously hammered in dress clothes.
I’m going with a tie and vest (no jacket unless a serious cold front comes in). Oh, and cuff links. All to go to 2-3 of my favorite, divey bars in the city.

I hope the flyer says something like “Are you down with the dolphin’s crying tonight?...

Do you want to be friends with me?
I seriously wanted to be a foley artist when I was young.
Who wouldn’t want to be?! You’re paid to make noise!
Really awesome noises a lot of the time. Your job assignment could be “OK, we need the sound for an 89-foot...
Now That Books Mean Nothing →
52books:
by Nell Boeschenstein:
It’s not easy or appropriate to tell people who love you and who are trying to help you that what they are doing is not helping, that books are not what you want or need, that what you want and need right now are flowers, letters—notes, even—stupid movies, something that might help you feel pretty, emails that contain funny anecdotes from the outside world. That...
Damnit. The Flu is gone, but some after-effects...
Namely the fact that I was coughing/puking so much over the weekend my ribs and right collarbone are still sore. I don’t even know what the fuck I’m supposed to do to get a sore collarbone less sore? I have no idea, but I really hope the massage place (which, pro tip, as a legit massage place, can take an HSA card, so, hooray pre-tax dollars going to a massage) has a clue.

I had really meant to bring back Read To Me...
But getting through even a minute of reading without going into a coughing fit is asking too much of me, sadly.
Rain check for the first Tuesday of 2012 it is.
This vacation has to get better soon
Though at the moment, the universe keeps finding new ways to piss me off.
Like the power going out. What the fuck assholes? It’s only fucking raining outside! I was in the middle of Lord of the Rings! And I have no clue where my damn lighter is.
Really hope the parking garage doesn’t partially collapse and total my car while I sleep.
At least I have the whole week off...
Today was the first day since Thursday (though, probably, last Wednesday) that I haven’t been running fever. The other downside I’ve found to the flu? It can really fuck with your sleep cycle. When liquids are violently attempting to exit themselves from the body at all hours, getting 8 solid hours of sleep is damn near impossible. So I knew I was on the mend when I woke up this...

Something You Won't Hear On ESPN Tonight:
The insane, 6,000+ yards 1984 Dan Marino would have put up if that team played under the modern NFL’s insanely passer-friendly rules.
(Though, they are at least pretty consistent about things like this. When Timmeh Tebow broke Herschel Walker’s SEC rushing TD record, they never mentioned that A. Walker only played 3 seasons to Tebow’s 4, and B. bowl game stats didn’t count...
Holiday Tip: Don't Procrastinate Getting a Flu...
Because Christmas alone in your apartment, mostly curled up in a ball, with the trashcan nearby?
Not the best way to spend Christmas.
Obvious lesson of the day:
A fat white man (with what appears to be not so much a double chin but a wattle) probably should keep his opinions about certain attractive First Ladies to himself.

Why is this happening? My theory is because BK refuses to bring back the Spicy Tendercrisp sandwich. (Also because Wendy’s new french fries are fucking awesome.)
