So.. Someone snuck in and taped all of Millie. Sadly I don't have any access to the cd (until the person gives it to me) but I do have access to the overture and opening of my night and you can kind of see me (not in the wig though.. this is before the change). I'm the one that gets dragged around by kids.

Remember the people in this show are 7-20 (I think a chorus member Jesse was the oldest, then Nick, then me) from Upstate, NY. I think it looks pretty darn good considering that.
Tell me what you think!

*Also please ignore the annoying EVALUATION COPY.

I've been talking to a girl on and off but I'm not really feeling her romantically. She's been sick and having problems with her roommate so I try to comfort her as much as possible. I wanted to like her. I went so far as to order a cake. Then I realized the next day that I didn't like her, so I canceled the tiramisu cheesecake. It's suppose to arrive on Friday, but now I don't know what to say to her when it doesn't get there. To make things worse, she mentioned visiting me sometime in September.

This is what happens when I try to chat up with someone on the courts:

Me: What kind of phone is that?
Her: The Curve. My world phone was giving me problems with reception and I had to switch. This is so much better.
Me: Nice. Have you seen the new BB...
Her (same time): The Thunder
Me (same time): The Bold
Me: Yea, that's a new one too.
Her: Bold as in B-O-L-D?
Me: Yea.
Her: What is it?
Me: It's uhh.. like a luxury version.. an upgrade from the 8...8..2..0 (I have no idea), it has uhh... (long pause) large screen.

At that point she was trying to look interested by leaning in and that made me even more nervous. I forgot how it ended. I'm sure my friend was laughing behind me. I'm never ever doing that again.

Edit: To make things worse, I took a glance at her racket because I've been looking for one lately, but it looked like I was staring at her crotch. Can I be any more retarded. I swear to Bob I have no social skills. It's like I was raised by wolves or something.

This is how I do it:
I close my eyes and imagine her. My backside clenches and pushes my body upward. I begin to levitate off the seat. My toes start to curl inward. Then comes the irregular breathing...

What embarrasses you?
Do you embarrass easily?
Or are you fairly shameless?

hmmmm...?

What turns your cheeks red?

So one of the playwriting classes I really wanted was canceled (MAD) and I only found out yesterday because I CHECKED online. Now, I could be wrong, but shouldn't the counselor send out an email informing you of that and the fact that she's switching your classes around to the point that you somehow have twenty one credits when the max is 18. So then you go through the damn fixing process again and it somehow gets to 19. So you have to change it again and then she makes it 16 and you hate the counselor because you're the one freak who always takes maximum credits.

Scheduling is one of the few things I dislike about college (and there's very little). Maybe cause the counselor is one big tard.

PS: I win at creeper.

Man, it ain't even Friday.
Poll #1248996
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

I have no plans this saturday.

Phlogging with ABM would be fun times on Saturday

Doing other things because ABM is without Fox would also be in order.

These things would be naughty.

Explicate:

I own an Xbox 360

I would totally join you for XBL golf if you bought Tiger Wood's PGA Tour 09

assfingers is a bad gamer.

He should Soul Calibur and DOA 4 so ABM can kick his ass.

Burritos are [number] awesome.

Addendum #1: Why does my banana taste like Equal?
Addendum #Crazy: There are two Kat Andersons on my Flist....
Addendum #yay: The sourdough starter? Gassy like whoa after I fed it two days ago. Smells so good.

Note: I'm bringing alyska a packet of goo Saturday. not_a_girl, could you meet me at the market Saturday morning to get your goo? I'm now busy Friday afternoon and won't be around to give it to you.

I felt terrific on Thursday and Friday, so much so that I completely over-exerted myself and relapsed a bit. Since Saturday, I've had a massive amount of abdominal pain, centered around my diaphragm, which has made it very difficult to breathe. I'm getting better, a little day-by-day, but it was depressing to be an invalid again.

To make matters worse, Jacquelyn got a stress fracture in her leg while training for the 5K run she was supposed to do next month. She has to be on crutches for the next eight weeks and is not allowed to put any weight on her leg at all. So, we have two semi-invalids in the house. At least I'm feeling a bit better, so I can at least help out.

Today was the first day of the new semester. My classes seem pretty good so far. I think I may be able to handle the courseload. We'll see how much reading I have to do and if I have time for it. I really need to learn to speed-read or to at least skim with high comprehension.

A kid in one of my classes decided he hated high school and dropped out and just enrolled in college. Smart kid - high school can be pretty lame.

During another ice-breaker activity, another person exclaimed that they didn't think I was 31, but closer to 24.  That always feels nice.

Last year, I had just had my wisdom teeth out, so I was on Vicodin last year. This year, it's the heart surgery and I'm on Vicodin. I hope this isn't some forming tradition where I need to spend the first week of every semester on opiates.

My major school-related pet peeve? People who sit in the class whining about how much they don't want to be there and how much school sucks. Seriously? Fuck you. Don't go. I'm spending a ridiculous amount of money to be here and learn - not to listen to your pathetic, ignorant whining.

I gave a big bag of fresh, hot, 5 Guys fries to a homeless beggar spanger guy today. He was genuinely thankful.  It felt good.

So my dog was yapping at the top of his lungs (per usual) so I run outside, being the goof that I am, and I yell: "KNOCK IT OFF. GET A JOB! YOU ARE SUCH A DUMMY!" Playfully loud of course. I then move to run so he'll chase me and trip, in a pothole, hurting my ankle.

As I lay on my back I look up to see my white Maltese looking down at me with a tilted, calm head that clearly reads: "Who's dumb now dumbass?.."

I freaking love my dog.

I baked (cooked?) this tonight. I'm now diabetic and have already died of Awesome insulin shock.

I added 1tbl espresso powder and would add an 1/8c pecans were I to do it again.
But. You know... dead.

Camera bag! I'm a bag whore but I've finally decided on a camera bag after trying out a number of versions and weighing cost and current posture/lower back issues. This one is 80% lighter and ore water-proof than my preferred other option. Here's to saving me a few hundred dollars and physical therapy. :) (It matches my gym bag too.)

Is she beautiful or is she beautiful. I'll have to name her when I get mines next month. My next door neighbor likes the craftsmanship of Yonex rackets. I watched him looking at one and I was taken back by his reverence. He gazed at it as if it were a samurai sword. He is actually a tennis instructor and sells equipment as well, what a wonderful neighbor. I want to be a more exciting player on the courts. Maybe I'll wear a headband and yell when I hit a winner. My weights came in this week. I have to start lifting consistently...

The closing ceremony for the Olympics would be way more meaningful if the commentators (HATE this word) weren't explaining the rather obvious symmetry and the lighting and the dancing and the whatnot.

Dude. Shush! I'm trying to be moved here!

Mes parents m'ont dédié une toune de Richard Séguin en fin de semaine...
Fds pour ma fête, qui d'ailleur, était super... J'aime retourner dans mon paclin pour les voir.
Le changement d'âge ne m'inquiète pas, je l'accepte...
J'ai grandis avec cette musique en background. Ça, et les Beatles en majeure partie :)

Sa voix a changé depuis le temps. Elle est rendue un peu plus profonde...
Voici les lyrics, que je vais prendre le temps de retranscrire.

Si t'as froid, moi je m'en fais
J'suis fait comme ça...
et si tu pleures c'est encore pire
L'été se noie si tu tombes
J'accoure comme un shaman
J'sais pas jusqu'ou j'irais pour te protéger

Si tu es bien, j'suis bien comme le ruisseau
Si t'es heureuse, je suis heureux sur le même bateau
Si t'as mal, moi j'ai mal comme un départ
et quand tu souffres, je prendrais ta douleur et ton cauchemar...

Ta mère et moi on te regarde,
on parle de toi, on te retrouve, on se reconnait
Si loin, si près...
Te voir sourire fait le bonheur

Te voir sourire, te savoir bien
c'est la lumière dans la demeure
C'était vrai quand t'étais enfant
C'est vrai, c'est vrai même à present
Te voir sourire, te savoir bien
c'est la lumière dans la demeure


Elle me fait le même effet que "Pictures of You" de The Cure. C'est souvent ça quand quelqu'un me dédie une toune et qu'elle est représentative de mon passé...

Sunrise was pretty awesome today. Taken at Princeton Club this morning.
This? Shit like this is reason enough to drag my ass out of bed every morning.

Spectacular!

1.

So... I saw a commercial today and pretty much freaked.

Have any of you seen the new trailer for Ghost Town?

So.. You know the naked ghost?

Well, that's a friend Jeff Hiller from UCB. So cool right? And he never tells anyone anything so it was a huge shock. I need to see it. He freakin' stole the trailer (though upon further inspection his character doesn't have a name.. But whatever. I'm excited!).

What was the FIRST concert you ever went to?

How about the BEST concert?

The WORST?

Mmm.... Baking basil and goat cheese scones.
Smell that?



Dear My Manual Focus Camera,

Why can't you be auto focus? It takes so long to finish a roll of film!

-ABM

Ps: I still love so very much.

A few key notes from my day;
Another nifty date tonight with a lovely woman; though I fear I'm an excuse for her to eat poorly. She forces chocolates upon me. Forces!

I think I need a little manual light meter if I'm going to shoot film at night. I have no clue how to figure exposure at night with street lighting. Ambiguous!

A teen said my license plate was awesome tonight. Leet haxor!

I was inspired to act discordant to my standard modus operandi. Exclamation!

You are now informed!

This picture reveals the most awesome thing about having a friend who used to look like Jesus (used to because he cut his hair, and even then has a decent resemblance).

For the first time in Cité-du-Nord history...
We received an obscene call :P...

I had first the call! The guy was asking to speak with the cashier...
(I think there was a cashier fantasies going on)...
He said that i had a pretty voice and i was hearing a background sound. I don't need to explain what was the background sound and i had it pretty much in my head all morning. Do you know that it's very difficult to concentrate after...? :P... So i said: "You don't need anything... i'm gonna hang up the phone". I was laughing pretty much all morning because of it.

He called again someone else had the call. After i tried again... I answered and i said: "Sir, do you know that there's some special lines for this kind of call?" He laughs and i hang up again... I didn't call us again damn! My next sentence would be: " Sir your number is........... right!? Don't be surprise if cops are going to your home to help you"

Well... That was very entertaining :P
