Month: June 2002

Well, Abi and I have been having a very good week. It’s really nice, if you’re unemployed, to have your friends come and visit you, if they have jobs and are willing to sleep on your futon. I have been feeling like I want to go on a road trip lately. In a Eurovan, the…

Feeling tired? Sore? Stressed? Clearly, you need to know How To Go To The Spa. 10:00 Wake up. No, really. This late. You are Slacker McBedhead. Your Friend Abi is also just waking up on the purple futon. Having her here is like a continuation of the weekend’s party. Watch her make you a protein…

New and Improved! With linked pictures! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh man. Oh, I am so tired. I got smashed in the face during jello wrestling and hurt my wrist during the Amazing Water Circus. I got a splinter. I got a sunburn. I ate too much greasy, fatty, sugary, salty, crunchy, crispy, yummy food. My sides still hurt…

It’s summer today That’s the real deal, I have to say. It’s 78 degrees today. When I lived in Miami, this would be an occasion to turn the air conditioning down to Low. We used to say the mark of someone brought up in South Florida was putting on a sweater at 70 degrees, just…

I don’t buy into the whole retail therapy thing. I certainly did at one point in my life, but a rather frugal year has made shopping real low on my priority list. I haven’t ever really liked it though. Stuff never seems to look right on me. I hate undressing under the fluorescent lights, and…

8:30 am: Roll on out of bed. Come on! Get up! Gotta get up! Can’t stay in bed all day! 8:40 am: No, really! Geeeeeeeet up! 9:05 am: Grumble. Half-assedly make bed. Think, “I have all day to make it.” Think that about the dishes, too. And the laundry. 9:30 am: Go down the basement…
