Castor & Pollux

Nasty!

The can looked so cool and Russian. It promised coffee flavor and energy. It delivered on both, but it was a nasty fake coffee flavor and it made my heart pound for a while. But other than that, it was great. It reminds me of this famous quote: "This is great but I can't feel my thumbs!"

A Series of Tubes!

Going on vacation in a few days.
To fix some pool pipes and eat seafood.
Ride bikes.
Walk on the beach at midnight.
That sorta thing.

Lies!

The Weather Channel lied to me!
It wasn't supposed to rain until the afternoon!
Grrr!
But not as grrrr as that dude in the big box truck who decided to roll out of a driveway in neutral while I was passing. Choice words were exchanged.

On A Tuesday They Caught Me With A File

noreply@blogger.com (Christopher) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 01:55:00 +0000

The morning wind blew hard that day.
Many branches and leaves were lost.
Squirrels had to find new homes.
Blisters sprouted up and sweat ran down spines.
No amount of analogies would make sense of it all.
The simple truth is determination and a saw.

Some good points...some bad points

Not the best day to test out riding to work.
And back.
Humidity. Dewpoint.
Etc.

Better learn how to play guitar with a plink and a plunk

Maybe I can find my copy of French Revolutions, by Tim Moore. A very funny book.
Maybe I can make this grow.
Or at least not die.

Everyone had a sweaty good time!

One Last Time

noreply@blogger.com (Christopher) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 09:35:00 +0000

No more teeth out please?
Please?
I don't like this game anymore.
Hopefully everything will be good to go for sushi this weekend. Gaping mouth wounds and raw fish may not work out so well, says Laura. But think of the Omega 3s!

Heh.

I crack myself up.

Hey now, Fletcher, don't keep me up late

Another day, another tooth says goodbye.
Here's to sipping my food for the next few days (again)!
Cheers!

Hey! Ass-person who decided it was OK to turn left in front of me as I was coming down a hill on my bike, with the right of way, following all applicable traffic laws? I hope you got where you were going safe and on time. I'm taking the high road here, so to speak. Next time you might want to think about the safety of cyclists, who have every right to be on the roads too.

Robyn show last night in an unlikely suburb of NJ.
Laura, my sweetie, was there (her first show) and Matthew was as well.
A great, tight set by an engaged, happy Robyn.
More later!
Hopefully a recording happened.
Also it was wicked cold in there.

This is why we can't have nice things

Coffee, all over the Mini's keyboard, the Swedish hipster desk...

I blame tooth pain for impairing my judgment.

So many messages to send

noreply@blogger.com (Christopher) — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 01:42:00 +0000

A busy schedule lately!
There's bike rides to go on, teeth to be pulled, Robyn Hitchcock shows to attend, and a pretty girl to spend the weekend with. Or, with which to spend the weekend. Grammar! Girlfriend!
And gourds to wear!
Tschüß!

Schmerz!

noreply@blogger.com (Christopher) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 01:08:00 +0000

Not much to say.
Other than a visit to the dentist revealed a wisdom tooth that needs to come out.
"It must hurt quite a bit."
"Nope. Haven't felt a thing. Honest."
"Really?"
So, apparently, I have major tolerance to mouth pain.

Whew!

All those socks I thought were gone?
(I really was perplexed--why didn't I ever have any socks?)
My brother had them.
Well, they're back now!

Safe.

I'm taking suggestions for my next book to read.

Nonfiction, I think.

Unless it's good fiction. But nothing too pomo arty.

Please send LC numbers, ISBN numbers or Amazon links.

Thanks!

Happy

Hello!

This is my wrench couple. Don't they look happy?

Happy Birthday, Matty!

Laura's ankle has now been rankled.
June must go!

Join me in armed revolt!
No?
OK.
Ankled then?

That's the forecast for tomorrow.
If I were me I'd stay inside and do inside things.

Ouch

noreply@blogger.com (Christopher) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 11:46:00 +0000

June should be abolished.
The month has just gotten started. But still.

Ah, nature...

noreply@blogger.com (Christopher) — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 02:17:00 +0000

There's a bird outside my window and its chirp sounds like that one kid's laugh on The Simpsons.
There's a mob of noisy raccoons at Laura's.
And there were bugs all over the garage last night.

The Big Game

Only a few left.
Sammy is worried some wild pitch will get him in the face (again). Poor lil fella! He says he hates it, but he's really pretty good at it.

Whatever you think is best

Wait. I'm not sorry. It is what it is.
