I always wonder what guys who once headlined arena shows think when they get off the bus and see Elko as their next gig.

"Oh crap, it's come to THIS?"

In the world of invisible friends, I'm still skinny and lovely-haired.

Much of your beguilement is in your innate cool (which is formidable), your wit (again, way on the plus side of the scale), your fantastic dancing, your style and your all-around enjoyability. So even if you gained 20 pounds and got a bad perm, you'd still be hot shit.

Man, Hec knows how to work it!!!

Well my invisible friends...I'm off to watch the A's last home game. A meaningless match with the Angels, but the last baseball game of the year.

Have fun, Lexine! I envy you the beisbol.

how wierd - I didn't get a bounce back either... but Matt got the answer about flight times

Oh, work life is WONDERFUL.

Thanks for telling me I had to cover the front desk FIVE MINUTES before I had to and THREE DAYS after you knew you needed coverage and FUCKING UP MY SCHEDULE.

Thanks, unnamed organization, for deciding that you wanted more than TWICE the amount of data you asked for last year, then leaving out any of the IMPORTANT THINGS about the new data, like TIME PERIOD or WHAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE A TERMINAL DEGREE.

Thanks, unnamed boss person, for deciding that we can't even make the current "week late" deadline for the initial cut of the BIG HONKING REPORT, possibly meaning that we'll be WORKING on the revision of this report ON CHRISTMAS DAY.

Thanks, stoopidarse weathergods, for deciding that TODAY is the FIRST DAY OF NOT-SUNNY in Seattle.

Thanks, Jon Paul Morosi, for writing the stupidest article about baseball in the history of humankind, which just made my blood pressure boil as you called the Freddy Garcia trade a "bad deal," making me want to REACH THROUGH THE COMPUTER AND SLAP YOU FOR MAKING MY BLOOD PRESSURE RISE.

Grr. HULK SMASH.

And thanks, me, for NOT PROOFREADING.

t backs slowly away from husband

Yeah. I'ma get married real soon. Who doesn't want to come home to *that*? ;)

Believe me, I'd love to join in on the Hulk Smashage. What he's going through is one of the most extreme cases of "person at the top ruins underlings' lives through rampant procrastination of something that's been scheduled for years" I've ever witnessed.

Well my invisible friends...I'm off to watch the A's last home game. A meaningless match with the Angels, but the last baseball game of the year.

Have fun, lexine! My buddy just offered me a ticket to the last Blue Jays game of the year, Sunday against the MIGHTY KANSAS CITY ROYALS on Fan Appreciation Day (snerk). Of course I'm going!

Who doesn't want to come home to *that*?

On the days I miss that, I just turn the tv up louder.
