fried chicken

last night was fried chicken and white wine
drove across the entire city for the sake of
Harold's Chicken Shack
and the only one worth going to
that i know of anyway
is down in hyde park
so off i drove
with sarah
- please see previous post for example of her drunken blogging -
thankfully the liquor store is next door
so that saved a trip.

its been a long time since id last had real Harolds
they have two inch plexi protecting the booth
and a lazy susan
yes also of bullet proof plexi
made so you cant get a gun in there
with your arm
and get your chicken too
ingenious
i only regret
not ordering extra coleslaw
it comes in a plastic bucket
and tastes like pure freaking joy

today was merely productive
counciling recieved as to career paths
direction on portfolio
assuaging of soul selling fears
blisters on soles of feet

why did i think my cowboy boots
would be good for walking on asphalt?
standing around
yes
walking on dirt and grass
yes
riding bulls
yes
pounding pavement
no

i will have to get back to my doodles soon
tomorrow i am going to the zoo
that should be good fodder
i leave you with a screaming turtle

hail

hail sucks
ouch

"if you cry enough
your dick gets smaller"
- sarah p.

yeah.
watched X2 tonight
preparing for the 26th
watched the first one 11 times
lost count on the second one.

fuck
reading drunk blogs aloud is even funnier
than writing them
oh my fucking god


aw hell...
il just repost it for you here:

exquisite corpse

an exquisite corpse
which is what i think i will be tomorrow
i need to kick whatever it is i have
and soon
cause this vague malaise
just aint my style



im left feeling proud
of having gotten my laundry done
hooray for me
and guilty for not doing work
that i dont get paid for
Liberty Lamps
and
Abe Quiglely
to both of you
i render my appologies
the fact is
i am being selfish this week
so there



these pictures were the result of sober drawing
by 5 people
the night after heavy drinking
yes
this was the transformers night
as you can see
from the death star
we were at least in the right frame of mind from the start

tonight
saw The Collection
playing at Double Door
poor Joe got his bike stolen
and just after he got a messenger job
id swear the world was out to get him
if i didnt know him as well as i do
there was one night when his car was stolen
or maybe towed
and i took the train home
and everyone else piled into one car
with amps and guitars and drums and all that
and then the next day he went back
to where he thought he had parked
and walked another half a block
and there was his car
we love you Joey London
but my oh my

i am feeling old today
it was Dan the Stains birthday today
he is
23
i forget this at times
that i am older than nearly everyone i spend time with
its a flip flop from former times
we drank
and were merry
i made a hostess.happy.b.day.cupcake.cake
yes. two hostess cakes
with an assLoad of candles on them
party ghetto style
im not sure if they were eaten
as i left too soon

similarly left the party tonight early
i could have happily stayed
but im happier to not know the end of it i think
to get to sleep in my bed
a sad conceit i am becoming addicted to
my bed
what happened to my couch?
but i had my drink
and Dan had his merry
MCSWAIN!!!
and that is all i have to say



i think these guys look pretty
teenage daddys
seahorses gone wild
trapped in a life
they never meant to live!

i would like some cake

and could you make it stop raining now please?

at: office, saturday nights

yeah ha ha
sorry there
saw an excellent show tonight though
suprised by the openers
The Saturday Nights
and psyched to see Office finally
i feel like ive been chasing those guys around forever

its been a long ass day
from getting my car fixed
they woke me up
to tell me they had an apointment for me
and to let me know it was a head gasket that had 'some problems'
so i drove to evanston
wondering if i was going to explode
sadly i did not
that would have been much more exciting to write about
instead it was just nice mechanics
and a nice coffee shop to do my reading in
and then a nice experience at the sprint store
getting my phone updated...
...though it doesnt seem to get any better reception
oh well

i dont know why im so obsessed with this lately
but i saw a flat mouse today
as i was riding to the show
i mean i never would have seen it in my car
maybe if i was walking,
but thats what sidewalks are for
the streets of this city are paved with dead animals!
aaaahhhh!

on another note
i seem to be going grey
noticed this today while doing the weekly haircut
now im wondering how far it will go
not that im worried or dissapointed
i just hope it doesnt go in patches
nice all white hair would be fine by me

mean.rain.mean.rain

fell asleep on my friends couch
i guess im exhausted
i think the jameson is helping though
woke up and hung out a bit more
then at midnight
suddenly felt like i really really had to leave
not like she wanted me to leave
just this crazy kinda witching hour feel
like something was pending upon my fortune
tried to reason it away to the sunday to monday thing
but hell
its not like weekends mean anything to me

so i left
and was halfway home
before the rain came
it was nice at first
enough to wash the sweat off my face
i was ready for winter and walked out into spring
but then the drops got thicker
and my tights got tighter
and my boots are water.tight...from the inside out
i could feel the water pouring down my shins
down the back of my calfs
and just had to keep pedaling
it was the puddle pouring off the top of my bag
sealed tight and safe
that drenched my back
though my spash guard saved me
i would have been sitting in a swamp other wise
you never appreciate a nice dry crotch til the mean rain comes along

the odd thing was that i kept smelling skunks
but didnt see any hit on the side of the road
now ive seen possums
and there was a rabbit i rode past for about a week or so
yes, progress was noted
but i havent seen any skunks
which worries me
am i going fast enough that a skunk cant spray me
or is this something i should worry about
im worried enough with the crazies on the side of the road
waiting for that one person
whos nuts enough
to throw themselves at a bike
just to snag my wallet
...big suprise theyd get there
so sorry
nothing for ya
i guess tonight
they would at least have gotten some apples in the deal

tomorrow i will find out
what these pink slips ive been getting
really mean
WWP99
doest mean much
its something about my car
but they dont call it a recall
and theres no accompanying warning
"do not drive above 40mph will explode"
or anything like that
so ive just assumed i was safe
and happily procrastinated
i mean hell
its not like i drive the thing often anyway
so hopefully hopefully
i will get to the bottom of this tomorrow

oh yeah... and

the hookers are back

as i rolled around the corner
tired biking home
there were to women sitting on the fence
i said hello
they nodded to eachother
and one started away up the street
away from me
so i called the cops

id seen them last summer
they sat on the hood of one car
day in and day out
for three days
id leave in the evening
come back at the crack of dawn
get up in the afternoon
they were always there

im wondering
where the guy was tonight
the one in blue suit
and matching blue shoes

i guess its a sign
of the weather improving
april showers
brings out the ho's

. . .

on another note
i saw
Transformers the Movie
hell yes
i love Optimus Prime
and Orson Wells is fucking scary

i am in fact just getting home
from couch surfing for three days
again
but so very worth it
after going to the elbo room thursday
and getting to talk about X.Men
for like 2 hours
along with brief mentions of
bikes
lapdances
france
i slept over at The Palmer Park Palace

but for a good cause
i got down to Manifest Columbia
in time to see Mucca Pazza in the morning
and then wander through art all the rest of the day
finishing off in the parade
led again by Mucca Pazza
(they'd just played on Conan)
dressed up as a Pod
and finny as a tree
we were awesome

so its high.time for me to get some freakin sleep
i just wish i could get my brain to work
briefly
so i could find the photos
ones of the pixie bike
and my new haircut.
dammit
wheres my mind when i need it.
