20.2.17 02:13		2am and still 52º - guess I'll eat candy on the porch
18.2.17 01:02		As "Stigmata" chines over the TouchTunes, I can't help but feel a presence...
17.2.17 02:54		You
16.2.17 09:30		#tbt And then there's this one. Amongst the many wonderful things Kris has done for me, maybe the greatest one was volunteering my house as a crash pad for his OTHER friends who happened to be in town at the same time, because there was no other way I could have met Kat. She was here less than two weeks but now it's very, very hard imagining life without her in it. She's a great talker, a great listener, has a great attitude and a very easily seen love of life which is incredibly infectious. She's tiny (relatively) but carries herself like the biggest man in the room and it's amazing. I don't know a single person she met in Minnesota who didn't immediately like her. And I know she's heard this a lot and is probably a little tired of hearing it... but she may have the most beautiful eyes on two continents. I miss her terribly - I miss making fun of her accent; I miss trying to find vegan options for her and being so amused that she finds Cub Foods a virtual mecca compared to the grocerie options in Brit-ain. She changed me - with any luck, I'm not changing back. I think she knows all this and won't be too embarrassed that I'm saying it publicly. These photos at the airport were right before last goodbyes and how I managed to make it without crying until I was back on the freeway I'm not sure I know. I'm on the verge of tears again typing this right now....and now you know why I've been procrastinating. It shouldn't hurt this much not having someone nearby, and most of the time it doesn't, until I really start thinking about it. I hope we have one too many drinks again soon. I'll never take off this bracelet. (circa 1215, one week ago)
16.2.17 09:30		#tbt I didn't mean to put this off as long as I could, but it's been hard readjusting to life without a housemate after just over two months of him being around, including spending Christmas together, ringing in 2017 at Transmission, and a killer Super Bowl party in the suburbs. He may enjoy Maruchan instant lunches even more than I do. He talked endlessly about the gym despite never seeming to make it out there. There wasn't an airing of "South Park," "American Dad," "Family Guy," "That 70s Show" (but definitely not "Friends") that he'd miss. There were a lot of last minute Wolves ticket purchases on the cheap. I got to take him to the Hexagon Bar for the first (and not last?) time. We saw "Rogue One" but failed to see it twice. I said "no" every time he tried to get me to Ground Zero - maybe the only time I consistently said no to him. He got me to Matt's Bar for my first juicy lucy after only 12+ years here. He got me to Driftwood, but I never managed to make it in time for the singalong. As he did last time, he introduced me to a whole new batch of wonderful people I may have never met without the introduction (sparing everyone a tag here). I put "With Sympathy" on a thumb drive for him but forgot to give him the Depeche Mode discography. I almost immediately regretted introducing him to Frank's Red Hot because he put that shit on EVERYTHING. And, yes, last but not least he turned ANOTHER bath mat purple to make sure I'd always remember he'd been around - as if I would forget! Kris, mate, it's been great stashing you in the spare room and it's hard to put into words how much I appreciate the opportunity to play a role as host during your trip here - I'm sure we'll be able to set something up for the next time. Here's to then! (circa 0215 one week ago)
16.2.17 08:30		CAR ADVENTURES - THE SAGA CONTINUES: After making sure to sacrifice my Wednesday night to get me to Maplewood at 7am this morning, I was informed that the replacement rim hadn't arrived yet. I suspect they may have completely forgotten to order it as I have been rescheduled to next week - or Saturday, if I'm "lucky." So I'm driving around on the spare for another few days. Yes, I know that all this is a sign to not take care of this and scrap my car completely for a new one and I'm IGNORING YOUR SAGE ADVICE AGAIN BECAUSE I LOVE THIS STUPID OLD CAR AND ALSO SETTING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON FIRE at least it drives like a dream with that spare
15.2.17 16:46		OH MY GOD I JUST GOT A NEW OFFICE HIGH CHAIR IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS AND MY BIRTHDAY WRAPPED UP INTO ONE BUT IN AN OFFICE VERSION
15.2.17 01:13		In retrospect, I should have gotten really drunk tonight and also stayed the hell away from Facebook
14.2.17 02:11		Another night, another "no adapter needed" double set. If you can read my handwriting, here's what I played. Thanks to Dan for the opportunity and not minding too much when I gave up and just started playing for me (see if YOU can figure out when that happened!), thanks to Hideo and Dave for probably saying "no" before I was asked ;-), thanks to Ryan for sticking it out to the end, and thanks to the other people who were around. Dan let me stretch out after the crowd died down but I STILL think he may have played more records cos his were WAY shorter than mine. OH and thanks Mom and Dad Gary for the bitchin' new professional crate they gave me for Christmas which I used for the first time tonight.
13.2.17 17:54		Shared this last year. Sharing now. Will share every year. I love you. <3 "Love is letting each other be who we are without fear of censure. Love is not wanting the other to become a clone of ourselves. ‘Other’ offers resistance, pushing us to find what is self. Love is actively embracing our equality and pushing each other to realise our full potential and make our full contribution to the world. Love is facing forward, both fighting for a common goal – both strong, both independent and positively choosing a knowing dependence. Love is always leaving the door unlocked and continuing that love when ‘other’ may choose to use the exit. Love is letting go and wishing well. Love is aching joy. Love is the safe haven. Love is arriving home." - Howard Jones
13.2.17 15:48		BREAKING NEWS: I am going to COMPLETELY kill the vibe in the City Room as a last minute fill-in co-host DJ with Daniel McNellie as a part of this month's Moonsault Mondays! TONIGHT after RAW! Come early; I MAY spin a 7 inch! (Feel better Steve!)
11.2.17 16:29		Not sure if I should caption: 1. Oh, that's sad 2. But nothing of value was lost
11.2.17 14:33		Hell yeah, I'm wearing shorts
11.2.17 08:58		My stupid tire went flat AGAIN last night, so I will have to replace the rim. At least this didn't happen back on Wednesday, I guess. I called the dealer to find out if they could fix it today, and while they put me on hold to see if they had the part, their Sirius XM feed let me listen to the chorus of this one. I've done a spectacular job not writing up proper posts on having Kris and Kat here and if I'm not careful enough time will have passed and I will have thrown up enough walls and engaged in enough suppression to NOT do ANYTHING... but all I want to do right now is go back to sleep. (They DO have to order a replacement rim, it's in Knoxville, it'll be $356.71, and maybe they'll have it on Thursday.) (James Hersey: Miss You)
10.2.17 22:50		WHERE ELSE CAN YOU HEAR EBN-OZN AND EAT AN EGG ROLL AND BRUSSEL SPROUTS
10.2.17 20:27		Google Rewards just asked me if I'd taken a hot air balloon ride in the past week - I selected "Prefer not to answer" (ping to Jana)
9.2.17 18:11		My last Spotify selection in this office - oh Spotify, you're so "random"

7.2.17 00:45		I'M THE BEST BOWLING MAN--oh shit wait, Jana is the best bowling man holy shit 10th frame turkey, she's AWESOME at bowling

28.1.17 13:45		RIP John Hurt (Art of Noise: The Holy Egoism of Genius)
27.1.17 17:51		My own personal dystopia: toiling away in the office of my company's Ministry of Truth (hey is THAT why we're called Veritas?) much as Winston Smith did, making mundane edits and carefuly expunging old website references, replacing them with new ones. symantecdotcom doesn't exist; symantecdotcom never existed. All hail veritasdotcom! We don't even get the romance of paper copies of our orders delivered via pneumatic tubes which later we'll have to destroy; instead we work on spreadsheets which will exist forever but nobody will open after we say we're done. At least we're now in that portion of the week where I can turn up the music without disrupting anyone else's important work (and also wax poetic about it on Facebook).
26.1.17 12:05		#tbt Here's me hanging out with the famous and beautiful. That first Fdeluxe show was also, like, practically the last thing at the Loring Theater. I'm sharing this photo with you TODAY because it's also Susannah Melvoin's birthday! Happy Birthday, Susannah! And Wendy, too, of course. :) Later this night I'd be at Hexagon for the first Nightosaur CD release show. I'm complex. (circa night of September 16, 2011)
25.1.17 22:11		Photo

24.1.17 23:34		Oh did I mention WOLVES WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
24.1.17 16:55		Dumb stuff like Likes from social media representatives of bands I like still makes me a little too happy, which is yet another reason I could never quit Facebook
24.1.17 01:33		So the reason you never see selfies of us is because I really suck at selfies of us for some reason...case in point:
