---- So last night at band practice, the blackmail material came out in the form of photos and videotape from our last gig. I let everyone make fun of me for a while, until Angel said "y'know, next time we should use a darker wig. Blond kinda clashes with your eyebrows." "Um, you can just back up to those first two words you just said...." "Next time?" "Yep, cause 'next time' ain't gonna happen." She seemed rather dejected. "I can get you a bigger bra..."I simply ignored her. ... and I'll keep posting every picture of me in a dress on this site until they have nothing to use against me in the future. ~~~ So, some idiot was upgrading software at LAX this morning and crashed their entire radar traffic control system. As a result, there have been no flights into or out of the airport all day. I hope they let me leave for Montreal tomorrow... ~~~ I've been completely swamped with work, band, laundry, travel planning, it's like I have no time to myself anymore ... I haven't even been taking my laptop home with me. I'd say I need this vacation this weekend, but this weekend isn't gonna be a vacation. Hmm, leave LA (hopefully) tomorrow morning, arrive Montreal 8pm tomorrow night, hope they'll let me through customs without a passport (just a drivers' license and copy of my birth certificate), check in to hotel, eat, drink, and sleep, wake up on Saturday, act like a tourist for a few hours, back to hotel, change, go to wedding, eat, drink, dance, be simultaneously merry and morose for the happily married couple and single-ol me, fall asleep, wake up, act like a tourist for a few hours, and get on another airplane to Toronto, only to switch to yet another airplane that will (hopefully) land back in LA late sunday night. And hell week at work begins monday. Forgive me if you've emailed and I haven't responded yet. I plan to catch up on email on the airplane, then maybe send from the hotel (they have dial-up ISPs in Canada, right? -- hee hee, just kidding, nonsmoking makes me strange and giddy sometimes). Eating Greek salad with Italian dressing (is that sacrilegious?), watching the status bar as the new Everclear album rips to MP3 on my G4. I've transferred about 10 hours worth of MP3s to the iBook for the trip. Now I'll just hope that the rent-a-car has a cassette deck so I can plug the computer in and have good music in the car. As I'm just about done with lunch here, typing between bites and fork lifts as I am, I should get back to work. This Everclear album is depressing, despite the happy chord progressions, dude must have went through a pretty bitter breakup or something. Hmm ... reminds me ... A note on the last entry I wrote ... as incoherent as I was, the revelation remains, and it still feels really cool, despite the fact that life itself seems to be closing in on me like a vise. 19 october 1999: : on hiatus til december 19 october 1998: : on hiatus til november 19 october 1997: where o where has the internet gone : earthlink is being particularly nasty, and geocities, is well, um ... just a little bit better than AOL. What I'm trying to say is, I probably won't be able to upload this entry tonight. [ swim back | email me | swim ahead ] |
