thanks to everyone who helped me come up with valentine's meal ideas.
apparently my blood type is in low supply, so the blood bank (not vampires pretending to be, i hope) called and asked me for more back on voting day. i was going to write you guys about it at the time, but i didn't.

speaking of voting day, it occurs to me that i have not officially endorsed a candidate for president. which is probably a good thing b/c i have a bad track record of jynxing presidential candidates. anyways, i'm not voting for or googling Ron Paul, so you pick whoever you think i would vote for and vote for them.

open letter to murder mystery weekend participants:
do not want. my readers know that i love the idea of solving crimes and mysteries, but the stupid costumes and the lame-ity of you guys ruins it for me. you are overgrown drama nerds and i cannot handle you friday night at the Gibson when i'm trying to talk to my friends while you fire cap guns and make stupid. I also can't muster the courage to tell you "Beat it, dork" early on a saturday when i'm at work. so if you see me, know that i do not have your stupid "clue" and i will not call the fire department when your polyester "pimp" hat or priest robes catch fire, because the firemen will know that I set you on fire and i might get in trouble.

open letter to firemen (to balance out the negative one):
thank you for keeping the trucks looking good and running smooth. you will not let me die of fire and that is very good of you. if anything should happen to one of the murder mystery participants, i didn't do it. it was probably one of them. i'd ask around at the downtown restaurants and stores to see if they have any clues.

current mood: lethargic and sweaty. bad combo.

thoughts on the new babyshambles album

and of course, my recent karaoke defeat. i can't shake the feeling that if i had been more dogged in my petition for the addition of patches, we would be going on a casino vacation. instead, we're gonna roll way deep to wild adventures. not really such a loss when i put it that way. plus, the extended tallahachicola network made a strong showing, made me feel good, made themselves more aware of how good people on st george island can sing country, and made tracks.

which is not how i intended to segue into the babyshambles portion of this post, but it works. ep was worried i would not like this album as much as the first, b/c it's more polished and produced. "more libertines-y" is a phrase i remember. it is more polished than the first album. but it's still ragged and spontaneous and sounds like a libertines greatest hits album to me. pete: you must stop doing drugs. even if sobering up makes you shittier at writing songs, you'll still be better than just about everybody else. also, that story about squirting a syringe at a photographer will still be plenty fucked up and punk rock when you're off the junk.

what to be for halloween

a slight moral dilemma, people. should i recycle a halloween costume from last year? is it okay? before you jump down my throat with a bunch of "of course not, slacker" garbage, remember i'll be celebrating halloween in a different town this time. does that change anything? please respond.

meanwhile, much has happened since my last post, more than you would expect, even. for example, would you have ever thought i would get to visit jimmy carter's hometown? do you even know where it is? of course not, slackers, it's Americus, GA.

oh, and guess what? you know my cool bosses i'm always telling you about? well they totally took me to atlanta with them and we all went to a latin food show. and someone spilled some liquid courage down my throat and i did open mic stand-up comedy. was it funny? of course not, slacker. it was funny looking. danny says he could have laughed at me for hours. i made up for it later that night with a heart-wrenching rendition of Patches by Clarence Carter. photographic evidence is still under review, but it is possible someone took a picture i can post here.

check this out, un-suspecting, i ate a pig eyeball! it tasted like the marrow-part of osso buco.

ooo! ooo! ooo! guess what else? this post is over!

open letter to cool people

let's hang out on mondays. we'll have, like, the whole town to ourselves! i'm talking no lines at the movies, no waits at restaurants, no fratties in the bars, no nothing! lauren from waternerd says that you're all at home reading good books. that's totally cool! in fact, i think you're even cooler now that i know that. but read good books on nights when i'm working or have to get up early for work, okay? thanks so much, cool people!
