RJK 5000

happy halloween.  i certainly slept in.  woke up feeling fuzzy.  jonocorp reminded me about menudo (i always forget i want menudo) but i was too lazy to go get it.  i just made coffee and ate vegemite on toast instead.  and cheerios.

I’m popular again, my text messages are buzzing off the hook.  tonight i might be bar hopping downtown.  i told my mom about that and she told me to be careful.  she’s always worrying about me and drunk drivers and drive-by shooters.  but this time she said, “there’s vampires out there.”

i am very lazy right now.  i have been online chatting and being slow all day.  now i will clean my house and go shopping for necessary household items.

have a safe and happy halloween.

hung out some more in downtown los angeles tonight.  my friend chris and i had mexican dinner and cocktails, then headed to the whiskey bar which was rad.  afterwards, sierra nevadas and tequila.  i mixed everything tonight, including wine.  i’m going to feel like a million bucks tomorrow.  i hadn’t seen chris in a while, he has a mustache now.  it was great to hang out again.  i’m blessed.

all week i’ve been looking forward to sleeping in on saturday morning.  this is rad.

it got late fast.  halloween now.  perhaps more shenanigans later.

i went downtown to the fancy edison bar tonight.  it was a celebratory birthday get-together for my sweet friend rudy, his beautiful cousin emilie, and my bff jonocorp.  it was much fun.  that bar is quite beautiful and ornate but i could see why some would call it “douchey” given the crowd, but what bar in any major world city isn’t lame?  if the same bar were in paris you’d love it, unless you lived in paris.  people need to up the appreciate, and turn down the hate.  but yes, i hated the calypso live jazz band. not really.

all day i kept on saying how thursdays are just like fridays (like in college), but tomorrow i’ll be hating it more than any usual friday/saturday.  if i were really in college i’d be eating some nachos belgrande right about now.  and then a mexican pizza and mountain dew after i wake up.  too bad i’m old and will just wake up, head to the office, and eat prunes (if i’m lucky) or something.

got home from the wednesday night dinner.  we opened a bottle of wine and had dessert together, but the old vibe still has not returned.  i don’t care about them; i had fun.

my brother opened a box of dark chocolate-covered macadamia nuts.  i looked at all of the pieces in their little beds and told him i could pick the one that he was going to pick.  and i did.  that happened twice.

i was listening to punk music in my car kind of loud.  i noticed the old armenian man with the most awesome facial features in the lane next to me looking at me with disapproval.  i smiled at him.  and he smiled back.

i am even more grateful i did not rear-end that audi s4.  my car insurance expired while i was in hawaii.  yikes.

the world has been too good; i’m ready to make some sacrifices.

I woke up kind of snot-nosed and sore-throated.  I enlisted the defensive forces of the sinus rinse, Cold-Eeze, and stale fake Emergen-C.  I feel better now.

After work I watched skateboarding videos that i found at the thrift store.  some parts were very boring, especially if i wasn’t familiar with the skateboarder or didn’t care about his tricks or style.  switch crook that same rail.  i fell asleep while watching the dvs video, even though the skating in it seemed better than in yeah right!.  and what happened to gabriel rodriguez?  he was cool.  well, i just remembered that i hate skateboarding.

the highlight of my day was running into joey from the beeters at the drugstore.  he was buying ice cream at the counter.  we looked for cat ears, sinus rinse packets, and monkeys.  he always makes me laugh.  my friends are great.

i need to give charlotte a bath.  it’s like 1:30, she might not appreciate it.  i will wait.

i’m not sleepy.  i might watch television (not on the internet) in bed.

i have a feeling today was the last of the good-weather days.  great.  daylight savings will end, and i’ll feel like i didn’t drink enough margaritas in the sun.  shade will make me nostalgic for gluhwein and the friday night lights.  then come the holidays.  i’ll have to christmas shop with my number one shopping buddy, my flask.  but who knows, maybe this season’s dose of depression will be a healthy one.

i went to the gym tonight.  hardly anybody was there.  i wonder what happened to my friends.

okay, been single for four months now.  still loving it.  haven’t been too bored or lonely.  my mom said i’m a lucky charm.  i suppose one man’s trash could be another man’s treasure!  but hopefully not for a while.  boys stink.

man, i was such a “looser” today.  i didn’t do much of anything.  i’m ashamed to admit i watched some more of my favorite television show on the internet.  i’d like to have dinner with calista flockhart sometime.

i took charlotte for a walk into town because i needed exercise and also because i needed to get out of the house.  and according to the doggie ribmeater, charlotte is fat too.  i had to drag her on the leash (painful for the both of us) all the way past victor’s pad.  after that she did really well on the walk.  drunk people stopped to pet her.

i took a bath and now i’m drinking tea.  i’m not looking forward to going back into the office tomorrow, but it feels like i have been away for a very long time.  maybe i’ll be motivated to medical edit like the wind.

i felt kind of weird and incomplete today.   one time my friend chris told me, “life is too short to wait for the perfect scenario.”  that statement sounds like it makes perfect sense, but i’m still not so sure i agree with it.  my life feels shorter when i have more to lose, which seems backwards.

jeez, i’m home. finally home.  everything here looks the same, messy as ever.  i just unpacked my “suitcase” while listening to 50 cent, who i would like to have lunch with sometime.  packing is so much more fun than unpacking.

tonight i treated my brother to another birthday dinner.  now i’m finally going to say the vacation is officially over and the dietary damage control has officially begun.  i probably ate more fat and sugar in the last 1.5 weeks than i have in the last two years.  i feel ischemic.  and seriously, the jeans that were too loose before the vacation are too tight now.  haha.  i mean i know it’s all kind of rad, but i would think it were radder if you got fat and not me.

my brother and i talked about 80s television.  did you ever watch hardcastle and mccormick?

the rest of this month and next month are busy and fatty too.  scorpios and thanksgiving make my heart warm.

i’m going to brush my teeth and wash my face now.  and then i’m going to watch my favorite television show on the internet.  i never watch tv on the internet, this is going to be interesting.  my favorite show is not simon and simon.

my brother’s birthday was fun.  we went to the local steakhouse for dinner.  my family is weird, but i love them.  afterwards, we ate cake and ice cream at home.  and a bottle of champagne with fresh-squeezed pomegranate juice.  delicious.  i hate cake, but this stuff i got from porto’s was out of this world.  i need to get out of vacation mode pronto because i’m way too fat for comfort.

my brother and i talked and laughed.  my cheeks were starting to hurt from laughing so much.  we made fun of young people because that’s what people do on their birthday.  some people grow old gracefully.  some people grow old grumpy.  you can actually choose.  personally, i like a little bit of both.

today, after i picked up the cake, i almost rear-ended an audi s4 on the freeway.  i had to really slam (more like really “squeeze” since i’m too cool to slam?) the brakes, i was worried and scared the cake was going to fly off the seat.  it was so close.  i have much to be grateful for.

people at the bakery were so very kind too.  to be out felt very good.  i felt positive energy and happy looks.  even when there’s a killer on the loose.

i am home now.  my mom’s home.  had the sensation of bobbing on waves all day.  slept in until 1pm, then made some tea and frypan toast with the lilikoi butter that mila gave me and my mom.  it was delicious.  i’m still in vacation mode so i’ve been eating a lot still.  also made the coconut pudding that mila gave us.  she gave us a big gift bag of hawaiian goodies.  pydaman had nothing to do with it.  didn’t do much of anything else today, and that’s okay.

friday (today) is my brother’s birthday!  happy birthday to him, he is the best brother.  i will buy him the most delicious cake.
