I'm in the airport again. Flight leaves in 5 hours. Midway through an epic battle with my lovely wife. Things will probably end even more poorly than I expect them to, when I land in Portland in 9 hours. Fuck.

Shit, Nabu, I hope everything turns out all right.

i got paid today and went to the grocery store for the first time in a damn long time. I currently have a purring Lennybruce perched on my knee. I have no idea what I'm going to do for the rest of the day, but I still haven't heard back from the place I interviewed with on Wednesday.

Id be lieing if a dude in the village did not just yell "GETTING FUCKED IN THE ASS IS MY GOD GIVEN RIGHT. MY. GOD. GIVEN. RIGHT. AND YOU CANT TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME"

I dont know if he was talking about his sexual preferences or the price of drinks around here.

The sun is ALWAYS too bright in Los Angeles, even when it's raining.

Other than the fact that everything is unaffordable here, it's pretty much the worst part of the deal.

Thank God I don't drink to excess out here.

Everything worked out pretty good. I'm a pretty lucky guy.

Also, my wife bought me 'Guitar Hero 2' so that has been fun. I know everybody around here is so done with that game, but I am enjoying it. I got 5 out of 5 on 'Bad Reputation' by Thin Lizzy my first time through. Man, I love me some Thin Lizzy.

I'm glad everything is OK.  I was more worried that I had any right to be. 

Today I worked on my thesis for ten hours and ate spicy boneless barbecue wings.  Then I put my kid to bed an hour late.  Now I'm going to sleep.

Today I expect a horrible day at work due to JAPAN. Foreseeing this, I drove Spouse's Weeee to work.

The only top that ain't on a woman I'm interested in when it comes down.

That's sweet.

Today I moved a bunch of boxes of shitty, poor-quality used books into a storage room, where they will likely never see the light of day again.

PROTIP: Before donating to a charity, please consider this question: "does the charity actually have any use for this, or will my donation just be dragged to a storeroom by a disgruntled volunteer?" If it is the latter, do not donate. Thank you.

I stayed up until 3:30AM last night, and then was amazed to wake up and see my bedside clock read 2:28. How the fuck did I manage to sleep that long? Dammit! I had a bunch of shit I wanted to get done today.

I also ordered some fuck*ng rad hot Chicago-style Giardineria. It's a finely chopped collection of peppers and stuff that is packed in oil. GOD IS IT DELICIOUS. Jough, have you gotten to have Italian sammiches in Chicago w/ giardiniera? It's amazing. I cannot find authentic giardiniera anywhere here (they sell the "garden mix" of large vegetables packed in vinegar that is hard to put in a sandwich), so I finally ordered some Scala's online. I'm sure there are other brands, but Scala's is what my dad brought home from his last Chicago trip. (My pa is Sicilian and from Chicago).


Ash, those people suck. Why should they turn down nice household goods? What assholes.

Today I'm gonna go out to dinner because black ants have taken over my kitchen.  They are literally marching from one end of the counter to the other.  I put out Terro and sprayed the hell out of the ones who had found a sauce drip in my spoonrest, and cleaned up a large number of carcasses, but they're still coming in and I'm not cooking in there tonight.  They're coming in from at least three places, so we're dealing with multiple colonies, at least one of which is, I'm pretty sure, in the wall between our town house and the next one. 

Two weeks in the new place and we're overrun with pests.  This is not poor housekeeping.  This is managerial negligence.  They just had an exterminator here last week.  What the hell did she do, put breadcrumbs behind the appliances? 

We called maintenance and they can't send anyone over 'til tomorrow.  So we're eating out tonight, which we can't really afford, and I'm going to have to throw away a perfectly good tray of pork chops. 

But!  Tomorrow I go to the doctor for my 20-week ultrasound, so after 4:30 I will know my baby's name with 95% accuracy.  So tomorrow will probably suck less than today.

I didn't realize that US technology had progressed far enough to detect names. I thought only positron scans could pull that off.
