They came to see, they came to be seen

As much as he disgusts me, I am going to see Neil Hamburger at the Blue Lamp tonight. There is just no shows in Sac anymore and it makes me sad. So here I go to a show I would normally avoid.

We really need the Fool's Foundation and Record Club back. I think the next show I really want to go to will be the party at my house. Here's hoping that the Rock and Roll Adventure Kids will find a place to play.

Doings

I went to dinner at La Trattoria Bohemia the other night. I had the Bavarian Goulash and a Lev Double Bock. It was really good, I can't so much go for the boring white bread stuff that Czechs seem to love, but the goulash itself was delicious. One friend had the meatloaf special which was pretty average and a Hofbrauhaus Munchen which was off the charts. HeeHee munchkin! Our third had the Chicken Paprikash. It was pretty good, but we all know chicken creeps me the hell out.

Man! I had a hilarious joke almost ready where I compare a NPR correspondent to Chicken Paprikash, but I can't find her name and I have to get ready for work. How about we have an imagination day where you write your own joke where you compare any NPR figure to an exotic food?

Good day

Hungry

My favorite part of the day is when I walk around the office looking for free food. Today all I found were some leftover water crackers.

Sad

I was just reading a blog that made me cry. I don't particularly want to link to it, but it was about how mean and small we are to other people when we are deeply hurt. And how doing mean things just makes us feel worse and not better, but yet we do them. I don't know why reading about someone else's great loss can make me so sad.

Earlier today I was remembering a poem I used to know that was about the blankness that occurs when a deep wound doesn't hurt anymore. I am paraphrasing but there was something about how strange it is that you no longer feel the pain when you think about the moment when you were dumped.

And that made me start thinking about how when I remember my mom's voice on the phone telling me that my brother was dead my butt used to feel like I sat down hard. Because I that is what happened. My butt hurt when I thought of that moment for years, but I don't feel it any more. And I kind of want to. I don't want to forget that pain, because it kind of feels like I am forgetting my brother. I am worried that in 5 more years I won't even cry about it any more.

Blah blah blog

Now that I have bought my tickets to Ireland and started planning my trip, I have embarrassingly finally discovered that it's SCOTTISH accents that I find sexy. Oh well, next trip. I think I will take all of my foreign vacations to the UK. At least the plane tix are cheap.

My friend got his bike stolen from the 16th street light rail stop on Saturday night. Mine was parked right next to it, but it was just pulled out and lying on the ground. My bike and I were meant to be together forever. That bike is my second best friend, next to my dog. Sorry human friends, you are OK, too.

I am celebrating this fall-like weather by turning off my house cooling fans one at a time. Last winter, I had no heating plan. I hope I can work the fans into something, like maybe they blow warm air back down?

I am thinking about going to see the Silver Apples in Davis on Wednesday. It's only 5 bucks.
Tonight I have a dinner date for Little Joes! My friend is buying! I have to be doing something right if someone is willing to buy me a $4.99 steak. I hate the decision of steak sandwich vs. steak plate. I love the green beans that comes with the steak, but I also love the sandwich roll.

Just in!

Couch has mind greatly expanded at Burning Man!

I want to be more sarcastic, but the woman who took the couch was so sweet and earnest. The couch on the right once lived with me before it started in on the drugs and the running amok in general.

Listen, my children to the legend of the fierce Jackalope, possible the most dangerous bunny in the west. This ferocious creature has the ability to mimic the human voice which is used to terrorize the plains. The worst part of it is that they are everywhere.

Watch your back.

movie stah!

No surprising because my apartment is freaking rad, I got location scouted by Hollywood today. I guess I'll talk to the neighbors and call her tomorrow.
