About Me
A terminal anglophile who's fanatical about popmuzik (mainly Britpop), movies (not shite ones), 20th-century history, the ocean, summer, conversation, warmth.
I enjoy drinking beer, especially when it's accompanied by a sundeck, an environment of Britpop or karaoke, and the amusing antics of drunken friends. I love restaurants (not crappy strip-mall chains, though sometimes they're ironically funny) and foods of all kinds and regions, particularly in large quantities. Live music, pubs, plays, opera, ballet, art museums and movies are nearly always fantastic uses of time, as far a I'm concerned. My paradox is that I tend to be addicted to fitness (for myself--though I'm not the type to impress it on others), due to occasional excess and probably a sense of my own mortality. It all seems to balance out well though. I believe Bez from Happy Mondays probably had the easiest and best job of all time.

Spare us the cutter (yet again)
Ahhhh yes, the week of checking off lists and sleep deprivation is nearly complete. I've been working myself into a semi-frenzy in an attempt to finish numerous work/household...

Truths at 1:25 am
I s'pose I should have called it "Drunken Truths at 1:25am," but it doesn't much matter at the moment.
-The Housemartins are the coolest, though I'm undoubtedly the only one who thinks so.
-Watch...

Nighty Nyquil
Just took some Nyquil and I expect some more odd dreams. Last night I dreamt that Dave Davies of the Kinks was teaching me the "berserk" guitar solo to "All Day and All of The Night," and it was as if...

...let my Patrick go.
So, the last three days have been devoted expressly to uncontrollable vomiting and fever dreams. I'd completely forgotten how nightmarish stomach flu can be. For some reason, it'...

Time for sleep
1. Do you still talk to the person you had your first kiss with?Hmm. I imagine that was about 25 years ago, and that individual probably has a brood of children somewhere in suburbia.
2. What would y...

I never fail to get a kick out of the absurd
Went to two birthday parties this weekend. The first was crowded and drunken and brilliant. I made a new friend as well. The second was the next day--consisting of drunken Whirlyball in Edmonds...

Holy fookin’ shite
As Townsend once said, "I can't explain."
My friends are sending me on a trip to London next year. Could a birthday be better? Doubtful. I'm fookin' gobsmacked. Everyone I know rules. And I'm 40. Fook...

Gotta say, his liver is probably hanging by a thread, his teeth look like he held a live grenade in his mouth, and his slur (from apparent alcohol-induced brain damage or lack of dental hygiene) makes...
