Fred changed his poop schedule. He wakes up every night at 3 or 4 am turtle-heading. He's also a slow pooper. I'm not good at waking up and waiting on him.

Something is going to have to give.

Going out drinking mid week is BAD for me.

I painted the dining room and hallway. The walls are now bare and need a little somethin' something. It's the perfect place for a zombie painting. I clipped a scene from the walking dead. This is the start.

My workplace has a hostile environment. I keep a to do list on my whiteboard. Somebody decided to help me out.

fond memories

I went to the gun range monday night. It had been awhile, so I was little nervous. It never fails to amaze me that you can walk in, get a gun and ammo without hearing the question "Have you ever touched a gun in your life?".

Oddly enough shooting handguns evokes fond childhood memories. It's the white trash background I suppose.

I remember being 10 or 11, and cutting up shotgun shells to get the gunpowder out. Just so you know, if you get 4 or 5 shells worth of powder, you can arrange it in a pile on the floor and ignite it. It makes quite a flash.

How I escaped:

1) burning down the house
2) seriously injuring myself or others
3) Mark Greer injuring me

is a mystery.


I've been super productive. The hallway and dining room are now painted and I'm about to start retiling the fire place. Amazon just sent me 10 new zombie books. It is bliss.

There is a Henry Rollins spoken word show coming up at La Zona rosa. I highly recommend it.

overheard in my house

E: I've just found a badass bb gun that i want to buy
E: They've got this setup where you can fire it in your house
E: And it catches the bb's. It is AWESOME!
E: ...

E: Are you watching pro wrestling?

R: Yes, i got a best of deathmatches from netflix.

E: You're such an 8 year old.

Evan has unparalleled skill when it comes to innovation. I came home today to the following scene.

Like millions of middle class people around the world, our smoke alarm goes off when we cook. When it happens, I tend to grab the closest guitar amp, reach up, and unplug it.

That is my way of thinking.

Evan, however.....his mind works differently than mine. The smoke alarm goes off. Rather than think, "ah, I must unplug it!" his mind says, I must find a way to keep the smoke from reaching the alarm.

Since a pile of my laundry lies directly beneath it I am surmising that he immediately glanced down and saw a sock, thus making the needed connection.

Unfortunately, that sock was mine and will never again have the calf gripping strength that it once had.
