Archives: It's hard to drink beer behind a helmet.

The beginning of my debaucherous 27th Birthday Night Out. Sadly, the helmet didn't make it intact through the rest of the evening - although that's the one trauma that can't be blamed on me that evening.


Yes, I kind of like the look of the helmet on my head.
No, I don't see motorcycle riding in my future.
I can't even come out of a bicycle ride unscathed.

Bygones

Two of my besties at work have moved on - either voluntarily or not. Work will no longer be the same. My hope is that one of them will hire me on and eventually get me out of the Current madness. Until then, I'm making a wall of fallen comrades - and they're the first two up there.

Sigh.

New Digs & New Jersey

Cosmic Robot has reminded me I have this damn thing - and that it's in serious need of updating. (Mostly his ass just wants me to post so his night of drunken shame is not first up for everyone's viewing pleasure.)

I moved! New casa is muy bueno. Smaller, closer to BART, cheaper, yet still with the goodness. I'm throwing a housewarming party Saturday next, so it's prep time this weekend putting the finishing touches on the new place to make it ready for party-hosting. I sense Ikea in my future, unfortunately. But there's this book case I've had my eye on for a while....

We've been here for about a month, but I don't feel like I've spent much time here yet. Still settling in and not having anyone over for drinks and dinner contributes. That, and I've spent a considerable amount of time on the weekends away.

First was Mat's 40th Birthday @ Stinson Beach. Amazing. Great weather, great food, awesome people - an all around good time. I had a moment on the beach of total and complete peace. It was a full moon, the wind had died down, I was smoking pot with CK and staring at the reflection of the moon on the water...best moment of the summer thus far - thanks Mat!

Then it was off to NJ. For the last time, thankfully. I caught up with the family and we threw a BBQ for the Dad and the Brother-in-Law and the Grandma (all June babies) and invited the handful of people we know in NJ over for some good eats and lots of drinking. Fireworks were lit, childhood stories were told, bla bla bla. Good times. Glad I never have to go back to NJ.

Also new - I'm over the job. Completely and absolutely finished with it. I work for a complete moron and I'm sick of over-extending and never being recognized for it. I'm officially a clock-watcher and a "that's not my job" sayer. Whatever. Current TV? Revolutionizing television and sucking the soul and ambition out of young professionals everywhere.

And on that note, I'm out. Pot is good for you, I think I'll smoke some.
