come back!

samiamrex y'all okay up there?

I shot a man who's emo, just to watch him die.

An otherwise pleasant evening out with friends ended early because I was getting too anxious. Things annoy me lately that shouldn't; also, my cognitive problems continue. I misremember things, or can't think of a word, or I say the wrong thing while aware that I'm doing so, which really isn't fun.

I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that I am going to be alone for life, and it's difficult.

However, I ate a really good french dip sandwich tonight. klikitak is hilarious and smart, and I don't see enough of her.

Got some great music in the mail today, from Canada: Rough Trade and 54.40 CDs from the 80s that you can't really get down here at all. Thank you, Maplemusic.

I am a student of the egg. I thank whomever created it and it never ceases to amaze and delight me. I love a smooth custard, a cake with perfect crumb, the magic of consomme, and a coddled egg in an egg cup garnished simply with sea salt and black pepper. I will study with butter, eggs, cream, flours, and sugar my whole life and hope to create a few delicacies worth remembering.

Tonight i was brought my French Dip Sandwich by a woman who had, as a child, been attacked by a monkey who bit off part of one of her fingers and was immediately shot dead in front of her. I knew this about her, but she was not aware that I knew this.

The heat is on, Lurch.

(LA Times article by Gina Piccalo, 4/10/05)

Xeni JARDIN arrives fashionably late, her platinum curls bobbing above the crowd as she sheds a floor-length faux fur to reveal a white silk, backless gown that so effectively evokes Marilyn Monroe, it nearly stops cocktail chatter cold. And that's saying something, because there are some big brains in this room who aren't easily distracted, among them a lead scientist of the recent Mars missions and the inventor of the Palm Pilot.

The history of the messed-up amusement park at which my waitress was attacked by a monkey is here: apparently it became a place for old school skaters later on.

The anecdote about Jayne Mansfield's kid getting mauled by a lion sums it up nicely.
