I need to get a schedule of events for the LA Philharmonic. I’ve haven’t been to a concert of that sort in yeeeeeeears. Oooh! And I need to get the summer schedule for the Hollywood Bowl when it comes out.

Anyone wanna come with?

Is it Friday yet? Ugh.

Goal: must not sleep before 10pm. It’s starting to really annoy me now.

I really like Television. The band, that is. I’ve been listening to Marquee Moon all morning and can’t seem to take it out. Paul Verlaine is a fucking genius.

Speaking of geniuses, Milemarker is playing The Smell on 2/27!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m officially giddy now. Tee hee. (And I did NOT wet myself!)

I’m reading Underworld by Don DeLillo right now. I left it at home, so I have nothing to do while on break. *sighs* Oh well.

Locally, Rubio’s, an overpriced fast-food Mexican grill place, has this commercial which is really disturbing. It starts with an old Mexican fisherman trying to trap lobster off the coast of Baja. You can tell he’s been doing this for his family since he was little. He lifts the trap, opens it and finds a note: “Gone to Rubio’s”. Voiceover: “If you want lobster, we have it at Rubio’s….” Somewhat appalling once you think of it. You have the corporation stealing the resources from another country. Am I reading too much into this?

Anyhow, I hate you.

So that sickness that afflicted me on Friday was indeed food poisoning, not nicotine withdrawls. Nonetheless, my quitting smoking has been postponed to Martin Luther King Jr Day weekend so there.

Anyhow this weekend was spent watching football, buying books at Borders and drinking coffee. At Borders, some guy noticed my Che Guevarra shirt and started talking about the state of South America. We talked for a little bit and he gave me his business card. Turns out he’s from Amnesty Intl. How fucking cool!

Blah. Really really busy here at work. Grrrr…

my head is spinning. i want everyone around me to go away for a little bit so i can… i don’t know… just fucking get this nicotine out of my system. my stomach churns constantly and my head…. my head. it just fucking pounds.

I feel like I’ve just been run over my a steam-roller. I have this mess on my desk that isn’t going away despite everything I do. My suppliers are calling me constantly, and all I want to do is lie in bed and read all day long. I’m reading Jacob’s Room by Virginia Woolf right now. Blah. Fuck 2003.

Was out with urbanemonkey and company on New Years Eve in lieu of this party invited to in the Hollywood Hills — I didn’t feel like getting all dressed up. Midnight was very anticlimatical, but eh.

On New Years, my family got together and ate a traditional Korean rice dumpling soup. Mmmm…. Went for coffee last night and ended up talking to people. Forgot to eat dinner. Oops!!!!

So hi everyone!

Many of you probably know I’m a huge football fan. Here are my predictions:

Wild Card Games:
Indianapolis vs. New York Jets — Jets Win
Atlanta vs. Green Bay — Green Bay Win
Cleveland vs. Pittsburgh — Cleveland Win
New York Giants vs. San Francisco — Giants Win

Divisional Games:
Cleveland vs. Oakland — Oakland Win
New York Jets vs. Tennessee — Jets Win
New York Giants vs. Philadelphis — Philly Win
Green Bay vs. Tampa Bay — Tampa Bay Win

Conference Championship:
New York Jets vs. Oakland — Oakland win (unfortunately)
Tampa Bay vs. Philadelphis — Philly win

Superbowl
Philadelphia vs. Oakland — Philly Win.

There you have it. I really do think Philly will go all the way. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Ugh. Back at work and people are already pissing me off. How hard is it to give me a schedule of when shipments are supposed to arrive so that I can pay them? Are these people trying to drive me crazy?

Anyhow, I finally cleaned the glass shards from my car on Saturday. It’s such a fucking annoying experience that I hope never to have to do again. And I still do wish bad things on the perpetrators.

I think I’m going through a mini butt-sniffing phase right now. Uh-oh.
