Jun. 8th, 2008 @ 03:15 pm Chicago help!
Anyone have a spare wireless access point I can borrow for this week and the next? Will be returned in perfect condition, I just need one for this house I'm staying in this month that doesn't have broadband service itself.

I think I may go to Nocturna tonight! I feel like dancin' to something other than 00ntz 00ntz. And it's the afterparty for the Cure show, which should raise the average age of attendees by a good ten years.

Apr. 20th, 2008 @ 04:00 am Thanks, jerks.
At 11pm, my next door neighbors' party started to pick up momentum. I went to bed at 11:30, in an attempt to get some sleep before my 5:30am call time today. I laid awake until 3:30 or so, when I gave up all hope of sleep, got up, and made coffee.

Now it is 4am and the party is finally goddamn over. Not that it helps me any; I have 12 hours of running around in a junkyard to look forward to.

5.2 magnitude earthquake in downstate Illinois

I expect not many other people were awake at 4:40am, so most people probably didn't feel it. It was like a little taste of home!

Apr. 11th, 2008 @ 11:05 pm New Model Army!
Well, I thought I was dead broke, but I'm not quite. So! I'm going to see New Model Army tomorrow night at the Note (Milwaukee and North). $15, 9pm, but there are two opening bands (one of them is a terrible deathrock band) so I'm aiming more for 10. Join me!

Apr. 1st, 2008 @ 01:10 am Thank you, April.
Tonight I opened the windows for the first time since November.

This may not seem like much to Californians, but for us here (especially me) it means so much. It means going from not being able to sleep at night because I am so cold, not wanting to shower because it means getting wet, sucking down tea like an old British grandmother- going to wanting nothing more than to be outside. It is absolutely beautiful outside right now and I am in love with everything.

Hello, spring, I missed you so much.

So, I'm leaving on either Wednesday or Thursday. As a shot in the dark, does anyone here, like, feel the need to go to Chicago? And want to spend three days in a truck with me to do so? I can drive just fine by myself, but it's gonna be a whole lot more interesting with company.

Feb. 2nd, 2008 @ 08:34 pm Dear San Francisco,
Hi. I'm back. I will probably be at New Wave City tonight.

I need a mood icon for "multi-metropolitan".

Yesterday: got electrocuted by some loose wiring in a shabby warehouse

Today: got trapped in an unlit freight elevator in an empty building

Big fun.

Jan. 26th, 2008 @ 04:37 am Shoulder to the Wheel
I'm beat. I spent all of tonight running around outside, in the snow, mostly in an alley that would have been smelly but for the fact that it was so cold (there was a dead rat off to one side, frozen stiff). It was so cold that all my adhesive tape froze and wouldn't stick to anything, and I look like I'm sunburned but really it's coldburn on my face. My shoulders, thighs, and calves ache from pushing around full-size dumpsters by myself, my ankles hurt from standing, my arms hurt from raking and shoveling snow. All I had from 4pm-3am was cold pizza and too much coffee.

During load-out I went digging in my car for a bottle of WD-40 and discovered that I have a payphone, steel-toed boots, and several x-ray prints in the trunk, among many other things. I gave three people a ride home, and amid the hilarity the latch on my car door broke and I drove for a mile holding the door shut until someone fixed it at a red light with the pliers that were in my purse. I'm still chilled to the bone, aching, and have to wake up in three hours.

In other words, everything is back to normal.

Back, and once again safely tucked away in my apartment, hiding from the snow and cold with my roommates. Tomorrow I venture outside and see what state my car is in after a month of sitting outside and not moving.

Oh, also, I have a truck. But it's still in California. :(

Jan. 17th, 2008 @ 02:47 pm Change of plans.
Just a quick update:

-buying a pickup truck (Saturday!)
-not driving it home just yet
-flying back to Chicago on Sunday
-working a quick job in Chicago for about a week and a half (and appearing in traffic court on Wednesday)
-then flying back to California sometime around the end of the month, to kick around for a little longer and eventually drive the truck home.

In conclusion: tonight is my last night in SF for a few weeks. I'll be at a housewarming party, and see some of you there; everyone else, I'll be back in a few weeks and see you then.

Dec. 27th, 2007 @ 11:50 am SF Debut Appearance
MEAT, me, tonight. I'll be getting there late (like 11 or 12) because I have Obligatory Social Function down in the southbay at 8, and then have to take the train up to the city. In any case, I'll be here for the next few weeks (huh, I might even be here for next month's MEAT) so no worries, you'll have time to get sick of me again.

Dec. 13th, 2007 @ 02:10 am Migrating west for the winter. (SF)
So I'm coming home for the holidays. And by "holidays", I mean an amorphous amount of time around and after Christmas. Schedule so far:

Monday the 24th: Fly Chicago to San Jose
Tuesday the 25th: Christmas with family
Wednesday the 26th: Buy a pickup truck
Thursday the 27th: Informal high school class reunion in the evening (um), MEAT later on
Friday the 28th: ?
Saturday the 29th: Gossip?
Sunday the 30th: ?
Monday the 31st: New Year's house party
Tuesday the 2nd: Drunken Monkey, for my annual dose of Bad Ideas
January 2-22nd: ? (drive back to Chicago at some point)
January 23rd: Traffic court in Joliet (this is the only reason I have a solid out time from California)

Also in there somewhere: Monterey, Santa Cruz, possibly snowboarding, maybe Mendocino as well.

So, weirdest little city in the world: what else should I do while I'm there?

Hi folks.

We're done shooting the film I was on. I have a life again and would like to see all of you. Call me.

Or I can call you, if you've forgotten who I am. (It's okay. I think I have too.)
