The highest compliment
Today is September 30. The highest compliment I can give someone/thing is "I wanna
party with that dude," followed by a high-five. Yeah, I stole it from Newsradio
(the guys were ogling a poster of a hot chick in the building across the street, and
Matthew remarked that he would like to party with that dude, meaning the owner of
the poster. I think it is from Jackass Junior High) Listening to the song "Joker &
the Thief" by Wolfmother makes me want to party with that dude, I guess meaning the
person who wrote the song? Note that this doesn't relate to John C. Reilly as Cal
Naughton Jr. saying "'Cause I
like to party" as a reason for having the TV and the
stereo on at the same time, although they are both great quotes.

Big-Plan Saturday!
Today is September 29. Owing to the fact that I took a nap yesterday afternoon, I
woke up pretty early this AM. My plan of action goes as follows. Take a shower,
blow-dry my hair, go to the Downtown Farmers Market and spend
my gift cert I won from Rest Your
Car. Of course the irony is that I have to take my car downtown to attend the
farmers' market. Oh well. Hopefully I can find some delicimous apples and other
things.
For a while, my iPod has been tap-dancing on the razor's edge of insanity. Or, more
accurately, acting like it is "totally dead" and then springing back to life in the
matter of 12-24 hours. So for the time being I will not recycle it and get the new
80G video or the Touch. Actually last night I almost went to the mall to do just
that, but I noticed my car needed gas so I went up to the Conoco on 22nd and then to
the Halloween store instead. OK, it's not just a Halloween store, but that's what I
call it. Also I went to Target and got the first Guitar Hero since they had it for
the same price as amazon.com. The guy in electronics that helped me had the
prettiest long blonde hair. Way prettier than Sitwell as Edgar
Winter.
For the latter part of the day, I'm probably going to watch some My Name Is Earl
season 2 and go eat Italian food at The Tavern in V-Junk with a friend. My caginess
in certain "things" is mostly due to me looking at old blog entries and seeing how
they were, for a period in 2002, All-Chris, All-the-Time. Not wanting to repeat
such folly, I keep my escapades in the meeting-people scene under my hat. Although
I will say this: I got some pretty flowers.

Shelf-fest '07
Today is September 15. My dad was awesome enough to give me this tall bookshelf for
my living room. I put the turntable and stereo on the top shelf, and then we
drilled a hole through the back (it was pretty thing/flimsy) so I could run the
power cords down. Cable management w00t! So far this AM I have listened to Return to
Earth and right now we're spinning side two of Time.
Yeah, I wanted to hear "Hold on Tight." Yeah, because of My Name is
Earl. What of it.
At work, in my continuing efforts to make Visual Studio 2005/Asp.Net/C# my
collective bitches, I made a web form for updating this web site. I think I
half-knew that my host didn't support Asp.Net but I still had fun making it. Today
my goals are to go to the P.O. and the gym. Who thinks I can do it?!?!

Haven't changed, had much to say
Today is September 9. I waited until the 5th to pay my rent, and I waited until the
9th to start a new news page. I wonder what is wrong with me. Sometimes it seems
like working out is a full-time job! My routine is: 3x/week I lift and then do
30min of cardio, and 2x/week I do 45min of cardio. And when I say cardio it is not
your full-out running, but just getting the heart rate up a bit, into that good
fat-burning zone. Haven't gone out today yet. I'm watching The Beales of Grey Gardens which is
fairly stupid of me since I haven't seen the first one, just Grey Gardens. A weird thing is
that "Little Edie" is just about the age of Grandma Hazel. Of course I didn't know
Grandma in 1975 but I would doubt if she was as immature. I've got Grey
Gardens further down on my queue but I'm a bit disappointed in myself that
I didn't put them in the correct order.
The other day someone mentioned a certain poet (can't remember who, but I wanna say
it was Wordsworth) and all we could remember was that he was a poet. I couldn't
think of a single work of the poet in question. It was just a feeling of failure.
Now it's even more aggravating b/c I can't even think of the man's name!!
Sometimes I think the Universe is gonna be really mad
at me. Also: Calypso has a new toy, an empty baby carrot bag. He lays on his back
and puts it in his paws like an otter and chews on it. Then I had a bigger bag -
from tortillas - and we tried to play Calypso space
commander mask, which was fun, for me.
