i woke up this morning singing everyone else has had more sex than me. even my subconcious is getting a bit depressed about our lack of action. this is a bit ironic because today’s album of the day is Weezer’s “Pinkerton.” and the song i am currently listening to is “i’m tried of sex.” which [...]

kelly recently asked where in the hell the 2006 Reading Plan was. well, it’s been in my head and on my nightstand. but i have been entirely too lazy and/or busy to update the left over there.

“hello dan patch lanes,” i said into the phone as i made change for opie’s bud light.

“oh, ummm,” he said. there were giggles in the background. “it’s a girl,” he said to the gigglers. “ok, thanks.’
ha!

so i totally ditched out of work early to go get my hair cut. which would seem all good and fine especially because i hauled ass out of bed at like 6:30 in the a.m. to be there for an 8 a.m. meeting. and, because the crazy canucks at the mothership were supposed to be [...]

the McLusky song “She Will Only Bring You Happiness” just came on Kathleen Turner Overdrive and all of sudden like a kick in the gut, i missed the TTHM so much that my eyes started to water. so i e-mailed him. i hope he responds.
