The unmistakable itch for a new tattoo
Sister #2 keeps talking about how she’s going to get another tattoo when her friend Burgerboy comes up for a visit. And, I think it was PeeWee who left a comment about how I should get a 666 tattoo. Ever since then I’ve had the overwhelming desire to get some more ink. It is an [...]
Read moreYou won’t find any hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia here
It’s a mere 6 days until 06.06.06 which is my birthday! The only thing that would make this birthday cooler is if I was 6′6″ and turning 36. Sadly I am only 6′5″ and soon to be 34. I guess you can’t have everything. Incidentally, hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia is a fear of the number 666. Imagine, disliking [...]
Read moreSummer is doing something to me
The song I woke up singing today was Beck’s “Loser.”
You can’t write if you can’t relate
Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin’ on a termite
who’s chokin’ on the splinters
This is really apropos of nothing, but interesting considering summer is doing something [...]
Three reasons Sister #4 and I make lousy roommates
1. This weekend when we were driving back from Sister #3’s house, she was flipping through the radio and had the choice between:
a. Some stupid Alanis song
b. Tempted by Squeeze
c. That “baby it’s 3 a.m. I must be lonely” song by Matchbox 20
and she chose Matchbox 20.
2. She thought “Almost Famous” was the dumbest movie [...]
Heed the Omen, 06.06.06 is nigh
Since the original plans for my birthday on 06.06.06 (which is in one week, get thee to Amazon pronto) all went to shit, I’m thinking I might go check out the The Omen on that, the most special of birthdays. I think it’d be fun to see all the mark of the beast and 666 [...]
Read moreThis is but one, one reason I so desire the sweet sweet love making stylings of Mike Doughty
Apparently, Mr. Doughty & I are watching the same Heavy Metal programs on VH1. Last week I stunned Al, the cutest girl on earth™ and Seamus by announcing that not only was Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” the #1Heavy Metal video of all time, but back in like 1973 Ozzy was a babe. To which Seamus [...]
Read moreLiving Cartoon Profile No. 6 (if I were a character in JPod)
Yeah, so I loved JPod with a passion. The novel’s characters all work for a software company and do stupid things, just like me! So I’ve decided to insert myself into the novel, doing many of the stupid time-wasters they do.
Name: Jodi Chromey
Non-work e-names: jodichromeysupergenius; jodi, queen of the underground; jodi@iwilldare.com; geminimat
Preferred Room Tempature: about [...]
Apparently I haven’t got a stitch to wear
For the last three nights in a row, I’ve dreamt that I was incredibly late for some event because I couldn’t decide what to wear.
Dream #1 featured my friend Jags and I attending my company’s golf outing, only we were like 3 hours late because I couldn’t find the proper golfing shirt. I dismissed [...]

kevin guilefoile’s cast of shadows
I’ve just added Kevin Guilfoile’s Cast of Shadowto my wishlist because of his Booknotes entry on Largeheartedboy. You should totally buy it for my birthday.

You never act the way you should, but I like it
Since I’m a big ol’ baby and I’m much too busy to run home to get Kathleen Turner Overdrive, the Wolfdoggy Dogg has let me listen to his MP3 stream through some sort of Willy-Wonkaesque magic I cannot even begin to understand.
I am a demanding listener (I’m a demanding lover, reader, and well person in [...]
If you could see me now, I’d be wearing the sad iPod face
It just came to my attention as I was frantically tossing the contents of my bag onto the floor of my cube, I forgot Kathleen Turner Overdrive at home. How could I do that? I am seriously off now. How can I be expected to perform my creative propaganda writing without having 6,398 songs at [...]
Read moreIn an attempt to cheer myself up, I have decided to listen to each of The Replacements’ albums in chronological order, right now it’s ‘Sorry Ma’
I don’t even remember the year, but I had this totally crappy job helping my Dad clean up a restaurant late at night, after it had closed. It was my job to vaccuum the joint, while he cleaned the kitchen. The job really wasn’t that shitty, I just generally hated everyone and everything at that [...]
Read moreA melancholy funk from my subconcious
My slumber was filled with bad dreams last night. Nothing that I can pin down. My head is filled with fleeting images of being really sick at a Marketing meeting; being ignored at a bar; something to do with grocery shopping in the winter — just random things. But I remember waking up and thinking [...]
