I love looking at old photos.

We're selling the boat and Harley is moving back to Denver. I admit that I'm pretty sad about not having the Nemo anymore. It's a pretty rad boat and I didn't get to spend enough time on it.

Picked Harley up from DIA at 1 on Friday.
First time I've seen him for about 8 weeks.
Food and drinks at Illegal Pete's. Got a bit drunk.
A Place To Bury Strangers at Larimer Lounge.
Harley knows Jay from APTBS, who bought me a birthday shot (why is it always whiskey?).
Met David from APTBS.
Worst part of the weekend: Harley got sucker punched while APTBS was playing.
Harley was at the ER twelve hours after arriving in Denver because his eyebrow was split open.
ER took too long, so he stitched himself up at home with sewing thread.

Saturday lunch with my parents, Brian and Nicole, and Harley.
Brian bought me goggles for my gift.
Youth Brigade at the Marquis! Documentary screening and punk show followed. Frontside Five and Reno Divorce opened for YB.
I managed to make it to the front of the stage even though it wasn't my intention.
Harley saw the asshole who hit him the previous night and chased him out of the venue and down the street.
People used me as a ladder to get on the stage for some diving.
Best show I've even been to and I'm still exhausted.
Drinks at Streets.
Party at Harley's friends' place.

Cuddle and watch True Romance after finally getting home on Sunday afternoon.
Sad goodbye at the airport and I'm planning my next visit to San Diego.

I want these, NOW!

-at industry/company parties. I pretty much always make an ass of myself. Tonight, I attended the COGA bowling party at Lucky Strike downtown. After just missing the busboy (the first meeting included him saying, with an accent, "Excuse me, love.") I made a sad face. "Did he take something you wanted?" asked the waitress. While gesturing towards my chest I said "Only my heart." This was in front of several people I work with and see on a daily basis. I immediately felt all pairs of eyeballs burning into me. Fuck.

On the other hand, how does one turn down free booze?

From The Denver Shop's In Color dvd.

Just because a band's name sounds emo it doesn't necessarily mean they are emo. Case in point: A Place to Bury Strangers. I should have been listening to these guys a long time ago :P

I'm no longer going to Japan. I have a new confirmation number, just over $1000 and a due date of 1/9/10 to find another flight/trip. I was told United doesn't fly to Alaska anymore?!

I got the greatest memento from the Continental





So long Continental and thanks for the memories. You'll be missed :(

Please shoot me in the goddamned face.

Lack of ANY intellectual interaction or actual work makes me pissy. Really, at this point I'll even do busy work.

Growing up on of my favorite tv shows was Night Court. I don't know, I can't explain it. It really wasn't intended for kids, especially a nine-year-old. Anyway, I still love this show.

On 30 Rock last night, some of the cast was reunited: Harry Anderson (Judge Harry T Stone), Markie Post (Christine Sulivan) and Charlie Robinson (Mac Robinson). I squealed as loudly and high-pitched as Kenneth the Intern when I saw them on my screen. Unfortunately, it's too early to find a video that isn't on youtube so there's no embedded clip. Sigh.

Here's a website with a midi of the theme song; it's the best I could do! http://www.classic-tv.com/shows/nightcourt.asp

Finally I have my Jim back!

Megan Carpentier stayed with me after the DNC was over.  We spent four days getting to know each other as our only contact had been a few emails regarding her staying at my place.  Anyway, I find her posts to be incredibly insightful.  It's posts like this one that make me even prouder (than I already am) to consider her a friend.  She writes regularly at Jezebel and Glamocracy.
