Spinning

Last night, I worked nights without feeling the usual dire need for sleep.  There must have been crack in my Starbucks coffee.  After work, I went to the gym and took my first Spinning class in 3 years.  Um, my crotch still hurts!  That seat is NOT comfortable!

marriage

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7093422.stm

"On the advice of an astrologer and others, he decided to marry a
bitch to get cured. Then we arranged Selvakumar's marriage with a
bitch."

Isnt' that what marriage is essentially about..."marriage with a bitch?"

Net Zero

"Its goal is to take the Casa Grande plant off the power grid, or
nearly so, and run it almost entirely on renewable fuels and recycled
water. Net zero, as the concept is called, has the backing of the
highest levels of corporate executives at PepsiCo, the parent company
of Frito-Lay."

How awesome is this? This will keep our fat American asses from
totally ruining the world!

Travelling with kids

Seriously, if your kid can walk and scream, you can give him or her 25mg of diphenahydramine....knock them out. On my flight today to Chicago, one little fucker got tired of running up and down the aisle and tapped me on the arm! This kid should be strapped in a seat - don't be cheap! You had the kid and you should buy a freakin plane ticket. And don't use your CELL PHONE to entertain your kid. It should be off for fucks sake.

Lars and the Real Girl

Loved this movie. Wanted to wash Ryan Gosling's hair very badly, as well as dress his "real" girl. Rest in peace, Bianca.

American Gangster

Very much enjoyed American Gangster. I don't know why there was never a Harvard Business School case study on Frank Lucas' business strategy.

story

This is a really sad story...

nights

Working nights is a really strange thing...you don't know when to eat, sleep, or take the Pill.

 

My stomach is in knots.

 

The music on the radio in the nurses station sucks.

 

You get the chills for no reason...probably because nature intended for you to be in bed at 4:30AM or at least out drinking.

blast from the past

Look what I found...

I love High Fidelity - movie and book.  I always think of Rob Gordon when I enter the Wicker Park/Bucktown area.  Honore and Milwaukee - Championship Vinyl.
