RJK 5000

watched the lakers, drank some beer and wine, played some darts.  i’m eating vegemite right now.  it’s an all right part of life.

happy saturday.  last night i went to malo for nick’s birthday dinner.  i got there late because i’m always late but i managed to squeeze a chair in between tim and tina.  it was wonderful hanging out with everyone again.  thuy gave me a hand massage which felt better than you would think.  i did not try their famous ground beef and dill pickle hard-shelled tacos even though i knew that that was the dish to get there.  they smelled like hamburger and made my heart ache for an alief cookie.

when i opened my eyes this morning, i thought i had to go to work.  but it’s saturday!

today i watched a bunch of cooking programs on pbs.  they’re still going on, but i think i’m going to do pilates and think about what i want to eat for dinner.  lately i’m addicted to tortilla chips and have been wanting more diaper dip, but not the generic prepackaged kind.  i need to go to villa sombrero and hit up the pampers booth.  at the other end of my moodiness (and stomach disease), i’ve been hating the sensation of having food inside my stomach so maybe i’ll just swallow a pellet.

later tonight i will see mike watt and his bass at the pub.  he and i are great friends now.

i need to go take my magnesium now.

Today was a really good day.  I enjoyed the happy hour and then went to kung fu class.  Sifu executed a leg sweep on me and I fell.  I don’t think it was a very graceful fall either.  I need to skateboard more so I can get good at falling again.

Afterwards I hung out and had a miniature Double Barrel at the pub.  Still a good beer, didn’t jump the shark like Fat tire did.

I was looking forward to weightlifting all day but didn’t get around to it.  I’ll just have to work twice as hard in the gym next time.  not sure if i can bench 400 though, 200 is tough enough!

i was thinking about my friend sasha today.  she’s a pill popper.  last time she hooked me up with some muscle relaxants.  i don’t think i ever took them because i kind of hate drugs.  i miss her though.

anyway, the sleeping pillz (herbal tea) the doctor (me) prescribed are finally kicking in now.

I took a “vacation day” and spent tuesday in santa barbara.  coffee and avocado tasting, mad dogging, and bar hopping.  didn’t get back home until pretty late.  i thought i was going to need vegemite this morning, but i was all right.

today after work i spent time at my mom’s house.  it was very relaxing, but i am still pretty tired.

happy easter.  i’m having a hard time drawing the weekend to a close.  nothing terribly exciting, but that’s exactly how i like my weekends.

talked to alek at jozo’s birthday party.  he was tripping out on being an “adult” now and saying how he never wants to grow up. i guess it was cool to see him getting serious about things like buying a house and marrying his girlfriend and having kids and stuff. but he kept pronouncing “adult” like “add-ult” which, for some reason made me cringe every time.

i spent a lot of time at the pub today.  barbecue and drinking and hanging out.  lots of candy, but nothing holiday-specific.  yep, definitely time to hit the sales.

the easter bunny showed up at the pub:

my stomach disease is off the hook right now.  and i don’t mean off the hook meaning good, but off the hook meaning why did i eat all that “diaper dip.” 

also drank irish coffee.  it tastes better when you don’t have your own mug of it.

i have to sleep now.  the sleeping pillz the doctor prescribed clearly aren’t working.

all the forbidden foods that i’ve been indulging on caught up with me today.  stomach disease was in full effect.  and i feel so chilly and tired.  maybe it’s because i forgot to take my magnesium.

i was “sick” today and didn’t attend work.  i had a glorious day as a member of the dpc.  ran into sir waffle sandwich at the local diner, it made me happy and want to skate.  then i spent the rest of the sick day pubbing and hanging out.  also went to the local wine bar for excellent food and wine.  albert and his tattoos rule connect four.  then i ate and drank some more.  i attempted to paint the pink elephant with dt’s on my skateboard while marco painted a helmet.  it was fun.  i’m bad at painting, but nobody laughed at me.  today pink elephant, tomorrow colossal yoplait containers!

my stomach disease felt way better today.  i sure ate and drank a lot.  even ate pizza with the cheese on it.  for some reason lactose intolerance is cool with brie.  if everyday were like today, i’d be jolly.

what should i paint on my skateboard helmet.  and what should i deep fry in linseed oil.

life rules, ditch work often.

oh yeah.  the other day marco treated me to kirin and the half-size ramen.  i also got the gyoza appetizer, which was fantastic because they stuff ‘em with their magic pork.  it was the perfect amount of food with less risk for flavor fatigue.  i look forward to repeating that experience.

i hope you had a fun and safe saint patrick’s day.  i had tapas, chardonnay, and famous grouse and then went to the pub for diet beers.  i did not drink any green beer or guinness.  “what a fag.“  i had a good time though.  for a minute i was surrounded by young people.  they made me feel old, but i ended up feeling better than them.  i didn’t think i was better than them, i just felt better than them, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

cheers to conscientiously driving (below) the speed limit.  a little coyote ran out in front of my car, and i probably would have hit the little d00d had i been driving a tad faster.

i felt elated today.  my stomach disease was all right.  i was totally craving french fries!  i ate two today.

i support proposition 3-17.

I just had vegemite on toast. you know what that means. went to a party last night and hung out with biker dudes. the girls were so nice and cute too. boddington’s and tequila shots. it was a swell time, i guess. my eyes are puffy.

now rain. i might eat that ramen again. the half size.  i hope there won’t be a long line out the door again.

i ate two generic pepto-bismol tablets before the party last night. i had a terrible stomachache. stomach disease rules.
