    HALLOWEEN '08!!!!

    My 4th annual Halloween Mix is mixed, burned and in the process of packaging (cover art pending...)

    Anybody who has enjoyed my mixes in the past and look forward to further spooky face-rocking awesomeness, let me know cuz I'm addressing envelopes as we speak.

    Shoot me an email, reply to this post or join my Halloween Mix group on Facebook and message me.

    I need the following bits of information: A) a "Yes" and B) a current address.

    What more do you need for an evening of spooky cocktails, horror movies and candy? This. You need this mix.

    Also let me know if there are any older volumes you're missing, I may a have couple spares.

    When does life stop being stressful and frustrating and become pleasant, enjoyable and fulfilling again?

    This day just keeps getting worse and worse. And since I was in such a good mood to begin with, that puts my current mood elevation at somewhere between death valley and where Al Capone's body is buried.

    Some days, becoming a hermit just sounds really appealing.


    fuck.

    Today really sucks.
    6:21 pm
    what a SHITtacular day.

    Something about listening to Elliot Smith on a gray, rainy morning is unbearably appropriate.

    I just want to stay in my pajamas all day, sipping coffee and reading The Battle of the Labyrinth. I can't imagine anything better.

    I wanna be sedated
    7 hours of work to go.

    This suuuuuucks.

    suburban moms are really annoying. The end.

    ----------------edit----------------------------------

    Suburbia is pretty much the most horrible thing ever.

    i hate my job because it is in the suburbs, serving the suburban public.

    The people who live in the suburbs are vile, horrible shells of humans.

    Yuppies and breeders with too much money and no taste.

    I just passed out on my lunch break. like, completely passed right the fuck out. I'm completely exhausted and I'm not sure why.

    This wouldn't be so horrible if I didn't have so much crap to do in the next week or so. I could use a day to just sleep in or take a substantial nap and not feel under the gun or like I'm engaged in an eternal struggle of catch-up. I'll blame day light savings time for my lack of energy, but it won't account for my lack of motivation.

    My new car is in the shop for an indeterminate period of time and I'll need to make arrangements/pull some strings to pick it up at some point in the next couple days.

    I have company this weekend and a paper due Tuesday. I need to get that paper done before they get here so that I'm not working the whole time they're visiting.

    Today I need to:

    • work 9-5

    • wash, dry and fold my laundry

    • iron shirts for work (a task I am not good at and takes me forever)

    • clean sickeningly filthy kitchen

    • clean moderately disheveled apartment for upcoming guests


    And I need to find time to eat dinner sometime during all that (ideally without completely re-filthifying my presumably fresh kitchen.

    Tomorrow I need to:

    • wake up early to go to aquarium

    • work 1-9

    • go to dad's to hang out for a while

    • finish whatever I didn't finish tonight

    • play with my neglected kittens so that they don't think I don't love them



    Thursday I'm meeting up with Simmons-types after work for long overdue drinks and librarian-based camaraderie.

    Friday come the out of town visitors to bring awesomeness, excitement and rock and roll to my life. It's going to be all kinds of definitions of fun. It is not a time, however, to be busy, responsible or productive. I hope I survive the week afterwards.

    I can feel my eyelids getting heavier as i type this. I'm just so goddamned tired and I have no idea how I'm going to accomplish everything in an orderly fashion since I can't even find the energy to not fall asleep at work.

    It isn't even all bad stuff I have to do... it's just a lot and I'm questioning the integrity of my energy reserves.

    As a result, I have formulated a half-baked, irrational, simplified solution to my problems! It, like many of my rash ideas, has been half thought-out and may not actually mean anything in a practical manner: CARBO-LOADING!!

    So I'm in Atlanta for a wedding this weekend and the weather is beautiful. Between 68 and 45. It's absolutely perfect.

    My plans for the weekend so far (wedding aside) involve finding a Piggly Wiggly, finding Goo Goo Clusters and purchasing a box full, eating a good ol' hearty Southern breakfast complete with bacon grease and grits. I've already been to a BBQ place for breakfast/lunch this morning after being up pretty much all night (we had an eeeearly flight, and we stayed out too late running around).

    The wedding promises to be interesting because it's not only Korean (which means the food will be AWESOME), but it's going to be crazy christian. I'm dying to hear the vows. I intend to keep a tally of teh number of times Jesus, Christ, God's love/plan and "the Cross" are uttered through the service. There may be a small wager involved. Just a teensy bit.

    Anybody have any recomendations of things I need to make sure I experience/eat/see while I'm in Atlanta?

    Everything I can think of involves food (Sonic, grits, ribs, goo goos... etc.).

    NOTE: It didn't take nearly as much searching as I had anticipated, but we found the Love Shack while heading down the Atlanta highway! The field seems to have been developed over with shopping plazas and subdivisions and the glitter on the front porch seems to have faded away long ago, but that funky old shack is still there. It seems to have also expanded its operations into the field of adult video and phased out the huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin'.

    We're planning on heading back later and bang-banging on the door.

    spooktacular dance-off
    Hey kids, it's fall, it's cold and the cemeteries are getting just slightly more and more monster infested as the days pass. That means Halloween is coming! That special time of year where candy is free for monsters (and people pretending to be monsters), TV specials are actually good and great pumpkins fight epic duels for the spirit of the season against skanky sorority girls in "sexy" themed disguises in ancient burial grounds. But most important of all, it is the season for dead-raising, crypt-rocking, blood-curdling, heart-stopping dance parties.

    It also means I'm working on a new Halloween mix.

    The 3rd Annual Halloween Mix is in the works and anybody who wants to make sure they get one in time for Halloween should let me know and provide me with a mailing address or arrange an occasion for me to hand deliver it to them.

    email, send a message, make a call. Just make sure I know you want one.

    (and yes, this was copy/pasted from the facebook entry, if you've left me a message or joined the facebook group, you don't need to post one here because then there's a chance I'll get the numbers and stats confused and make too many of too few.)

    Look out honey, cuz I'm using technology!

    No amount of bonus espresso shots in my coffee can keep me from regretting that I hadn't just stayed in bed today.

    Patrick Wolf tonight, though.

    I can't remember being presented with a better reason to drink.

    Kraftbrau was one of the truly great things Kalamazoo had going for it and its closing is one of the worst tragedies I could imagine.

    But they closed The Space and we got Rocket Star instead, so maybe it isn't the worst thing that could happen. But still.

    God damn.

    10:57 AM me: this middle aged lady with a ridiculous accent, a horrible tan and sub-par intelligence had me go find her videos for her and needed me to stand within 5 feet when I was pointing to where the public restroom was because forgot her eyeglasses and "can't see a thing without her eyeglasses"
    10:58 AM she had sunglasses with her which I'm assuming were non-prescription
    Alex: oh, people.
    me: which begs the question, if your eyesight is THAT bad, why would you EVER leave the house without your glasses

    11:05 AM she's asking really weird questions with obvious answers, not comprehending our responses, and wandering away mid conversation
    11:06 AM she probably couldn't see anything cuz her pupils are dilated like whoah
    and she wanted to know where the bathroom was so she could go self-administer a fresh dose of "purpose-in-life"
    Alex: hahahah
    i.e.
    11:07 AM coke.
    9:53 am
    For whatever reason last night, I was simply incapable of sleeping last night. It was long and uncomfortable night filled with mildly upsetting dreams and waking up to my pillow and sheets being halfway across the room. The moral of this story is that the struggle between getting out of bed and going to work Vs. staying in bed and calling in sick was one of epic proportions. The phone was even in my hand at one point with my work number selected and my finger on the "Call" button.

    Now here I am at work because my conscience won out over my desire for sleep, PLUS I knew I would just be miserable all morning laying in bed anyway.

    I can't turn my head more than halfway to the left. I slept poorly and my neck hates me for it.

    My left eye won't stop spazzing out and I suddenly have an accute desire to NOT be at work.

    I would much prefer a lazy afternoon nap and a relaxed game with complimentary icy beverages.

    Life is too short for a 40 hour work week.

    I blame capitalism for that.

    In light of recent feedback to the effect that I seem to be no more than a festering pit of negativity of late, I am going to make a concerted effort to post more frequently on things other than my anxieties and the day to day woes of being an Andrew.

    Here's my first contribution

    Holy Library Awesomeness, Batman!




    --------edit--------

    I really like the "WWF superstar" and "Friendly Dinosaur"

    And the superhero one can be superman OR batman depending on what color frosting you use!!
    11:26 am
    I really don't want to be at work today. I don't want to deal with people.

    I want to drink coffee and read.
