Since Halloween falls on Sunday this year, some coworkers and I decided to dress up today. I decided to come dress as some sort of refugee from the Fischerspooner entourage. Just a tad bit more dressed up. I do have the makeup going for me, so it’s cool.

I realize how boring my coworkers are. Their reactions have all been, “What the fuck?” Of course I don’t think this is that outrageous or anything. I toned it down quite considerably for work (and have been too lazy to prepare for it in any manner). Whatever. I’m fabulous, and they’re not.

This week has been absolute hell. Work is complete chaos since we’re moving furniture and cubicle walls around again. And I’m doing some internal auditing which just takes time away from my job. So whatever. I just can’t wait to do some drinking and shit this weekend just to purify myself of work. Dope.

To make my life simpler, I’m only going to two parties: Russell’s and klikitak‘s. That’s it. There’s no way I’m going to drive to 6 different engagements tomorrow. No. Way. So there.

Oh oh oh!!!! My 10:00 meeting got cancelled!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!

I want to fucking scream. Seriously. The shit is piling so high here at work, I don’t know what to do. I’m completely losing it. Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!

klikitak. Wanna get dinner tonight?

I have no idea what to do this weekend. I’m broke for one. I was wondering why I was so broke until I realized I just paid off my car insurance. $524. For something that I might or might not need. Actually I haven’t needed it yet.

Regardless, I’m going to get some free booze at Roberts & Tildon Gallery. I love openings!!! Afterwards perhaps there will be some IHOP involved. Mmmm. Belgian waffles.

I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize for the choppiness of my recent entries. I’ve been writing them over the course of the work day, and it’s hard to make something continuous when you do it in sections. But whatever.

Ever since the Dodgers and Angels have been bumped out of the playoffs, I’ve been quite disinterested. But I had to watch game 7 of the Yankees-Red Sox game last night. I had to see whether or not the Sox could come back from a 3-0 defecit to crush the Yanks. It was highly improbable, but it happened.

The first rains of the year have gone, and now it’s buttfucking cold! Most of the executives here at work are from the East Coast, so they make fun of me as I’m bundled in my winter jacket and scarf. The CEO said I looked like I was living in Boston. Ahk! Alls I know is when it dips below 50 degrees, it’s cold.

In preparation of Jeopardy!, it looks like I’m going to have to spend some time in the library reading up on Shakespeare, opera, European monarchs and geography. My knowledge of the first two is horrible. I will probably read the Dummies guides for them and leave it at that. It’s probably best I do this stuff ASAP since memorization is my weak point. Also everything is useless unless you can instantaneously answer a question. Speed, luck, knowledge in descending order. Those are the keys to this game.

Oh!!!!! Party update! If you don’t already know, I’ve had to postpone my housewarming party by a week. So it is now going to be on Saturday, November 13. Roomie V3.0 and I have been going back and forth about the theme. It’s still going to have a revolutionary feel, but she wants more of the “Reign of Terror” feel to it. You know, the whole French Revolution guillotines and all. I like the idea but want to update it. I guess this is what I get for moving in with a history teacher. 🙂

But we should make a decision by the weekend to end this stalemate. Heheheh.

I really like where I live now. Take this for instance. My new city councilmember is Eric Garcetti. He is known for being a hands-on type of person. However it seems that the issue of the Sunset-Silverlake junction bridge was ignored for a period of time. Will Campbell @ blogging.la posted to complain about it, and in a matter of hours both Josh Kamensky (Communications Deputy of Garcetti) and Garcetti himself posted a comment apologizing for the delay of response and a letter addressing the problem and solutions.

The bad part about where I live: the traffic during the rain. I left work at 4:30 and travelled approximately 27 miles in 90 minutes. It looks like it’s going to be worse today since heavy rain is expected. Don’t get me wrong. I like the rain, but on two conditions: that I’m prepared for it and I’m not making a commute. Other than that, it’s like an enema for the city. But I’m finding the older I get, the less tolerance I have for it. (Corollary: The older I get, the more “city” I become.)

Anyhow all of this means that I’m going to Trader Joes during my lunch break to do my shopping. Cuz when I get home, there ain’t no way I want to leave.

On a completely unrelated note, I got an invitation to take the Jeopardy! test next month. I know mcgee did it once. Was it really difficult? Anyhow, I probably won’t do too much preparation for it. I’ll just hone up on my Shakespeare and opera knowledge since it’s sorely lacking. Whatever.

And since I didn’t post yeserday since I was feeling a bit ill, here’s a nutshell of it: Saw Team America which was mediocre; met a guy who thinks he’s straight and trash-talked him with Roommate v3.0; went shopping with lotusblossom but only bought books from Skylight.

That’s it. I hope everyone has fun in the rain.

Ah the joys and pains of Pinks.

The joy: getting a pastrami burrito dog and chili cheese fries by the hot gay Latino who makes me wet just by thinking of him. And the line wasn’t all that long, probably about 20 minutes long. I know some of you out there will scoff at the idea of waiting that long for a stupid hot dog. But assure me, it is definitely worth it. Ask lotusblossom, one of the newly converted. 🙂

The pain: Gastro-intestinal hell. I got a bad case of heartburn at around 11. Really bad. I’m guessing I was gassy all night since I’m still a little gassy. I feel bloated and full and ikky all around.

But getting back to the hot gay Latino. Every time I’ve been there he has made my food. He’s so sexy and his skin is so clear (I do have an thing for complexion). Actually don’t mind this paragraph right now. It just means that I’m horny. Whatever.

Oooh. I bought the third season of Strangers with Candy on DVD last night also. I can’t wait to start watching it. Mmmmm.

Boy do I need a drink.

I was under a lot of pressure to close September’s books this week. I finally did it yesterday. That’s one thing that will not go away. Even with all the proposed changes, month-end accounting will still be as pressure filled as Mount St. Helens pre-eruption.

But for tonight, it is to Pinks. I badly need to do some grocery shopping also. Hm. I’m also thinking of going to the Child Pornography show @ Ghetto Gloss tomorrow night. Anyone else going?

I have joined a philosopy club via tribe.net. They have meetings every 3rd Sunday. This Sunday it’s at the PF Chang’s in Santa Monica, and the topic is still to be determined. It’s at 3pm and thankfully all of the good football games are in the morning. So there is no conflicts for me. 🙂

Last night I inadvertantly watched the debate. W reminds me of this smug bastard in high school whom I wanted to strangle to the brink of death. A lot of people said that Kerry overwhelmingly won the debate, but I don’t think so. He did just enough to seem competant. But I do have to say the folks @ ABC News do a fabulous job covering this shit. They have a fact checker to clarify some of the things that were said. And Peter Jennings looks like an outside observer amused at what happens before him. Does anyone know if he got his Amerikan citizenship yet?

Courtney Love with her own radio show. So all of you here in LA can listen to her mess every Friday until 10/30 on 103.1. Woo hoo!

I guess great bands that I was too young to go see back in the day are making a comeback. Take, for instance, the Pixies. And Skinny Puppy (even though their new album isn’t all that hot).

So now it looks like Slint is reuniting!!! For those of you who don’t know them, immediately pick up Spiderland and Tweez and listen to the sound that has been ripped off by countless bands.

They will be curating the first weekend of the All Tomorrows Parties 2005 UK Festival. I am slobbering right now.

Other than that, nothing much else to report here. I’m just waiting to go to Pinks with lotusblossom tomorrow night. That’s all.

Because I like to do a public service, and since it’s for the greater good of the world, I have an update on an item I reported on Friday.

It is official. The folks at defamer.com was told that Macaulay Culkin is officially not gay. Since his “legal team” says so, it must be true.

So vaginas of the world can celebrate that they have a chance to be penetrated at home alone by the Culk-ster. Hooray!
