The Evil One

dock

2007-10-18T16:12:38Z

work is going well today, i
think.

i will definently be at the dock
tonight. in fact, i am going to
try and get there early.

who else is coming?

do it...with yams

2007-10-16T01:46:35Z

qotd, from wikipedia:

"In many cultures the yam is considered the most sensual of the tubers."

although, i think i like horseradish and
sweet potatoes more.

im feeling strangely free today

2007-10-15T15:41:13Z

for reasons unknown, i have access to
google douments. i am not holding my
breath and thinking this is anything
other than a temporary glitch.

(and i expect them to fix the glitch
soon)

but it is nice to dream. it would be very
cool to access my writing during breaks.

food response

2007-10-05T16:11:05Z

i need to do this more often...

in regards to lunch:

steamed sea scallops with garlic
spinach and sticky, sesame rice
with rice wine soy sauce.

spinach, crab, artichoke, and cheese
dip with pita chips.

i love spinach, but normally i strongly
dislike it steamed. but that was really
quite amazing. i dont know what they
did to it, but i couldnt stop eating it!

i need to eat out more often, i think.

not every day certainly. but once a
week wouldnt kill me.

fry day

2007-10-05T15:16:35Z

today is friday.

lunch is paid for by my employer.
mitchell's fish market.

gaming tonight.

not sure what else is up.

looking forward to the weekend.

lunch

2007-10-04T16:16:19Z

right now, i am having an at work
lunch. paid for by my employer,
as all lunches this week have
been.

yesterday was pasta from brio's.

today was mongomery inn. i had
the ribs, rolls, salad, crab cakes,
and the saratoga chips.

i am satiated...

slowdown

2007-10-04T13:24:35Z

somehow, someway, today seems
to be even slower than yesterday.

ive been here for 2 hours and done
precicesly 3 tickets. 2 emails and
an inbound call.

very very slow.

im debating what to do this weekend.
a few people have sent me some
suggestions. i may go to the pirate
thing at the museum center.

anything esle going on?

thats why im easy...

2007-10-03T14:39:28Z

this has to be the slowest day of
work i have ever had since working
here. reminds me of cbw at quarter
to midnight on a sunday.

currently, i am studying the martial
industrial music genre (largely a
european movement) and what is
required to create an os from scratch;
something ive been meaning to try.

so...i am thinking of going to the dock
_next_ thursday. (i really didnt have
that great a time last time i went)

what is everyone else up to this week?

aythin gon for this weekend?

$%!^ &#%^@*!

2007-09-20T20:34:42Z

plan of attack...for dinner

2007-09-17T11:20:18Z

okay, so here are the details for
this week:

Wednesday, we are having a dinner
thing at The Corinthian on jefferson,
to celebrate by birthday. we are
shooting for 630. which should be
planty of time to get ready and get
down there after work.

Thursday will be a big party for all
of the Virgos. no one has really
thrown any suggestioins out there,
so, how about Indian food. Ambar
on Ludlow? (acroos the street from
the Clifton Library) at 600 or 630.

Are those cool? would other times
be better? any other suggestions
for a thursday location?

more importantly, who can and
cannot come? i need some clue of
how many people will ba at each
place so I can make the reservations.

please, questions? comments?

went to the dock last night.

it was kind of dead, but picked up
after 1am. not the best night, but
pretty good.

the way down side is that now, i
am a zombie. i hunger for human
brains. i walk amongst the living,
but i am not one of the...

really, it started with a fairly eloquent
plan. i would get home early (and i
did), i would go to bed as soon as
i got in (also, rightly accomplished),
and then get at least 4 hours of sleep
before taking off.

that last bit turned out to be the sticky
point. i couldnt sleep. at all. and it
took longer than i thought to get down
to the dock, took longer than i thought
to get home.

the end result is, i am here, at work,
operating on less than 2 hours of
sleep.

there is planning to do for the weekend,
and i cant do it. so...while my mind
is inoperable, iwill be relying on
everyone else to use their brains.

their delicious brains...

next week...

2007-09-13T11:32:35Z

...is my birthday. and several other
friends as well.

i have a few things planned for the
next week or so:

this weekend; not sure. i would
really like to have a grill out or
something, but im not sure if anyone
would be up for it.

i am not aware of anything
happening monday. should i be
aware of something? what are
you people keeping from me?

tuesday afternoon, i am having
dinner with family. so, i wont be
available.

Weds, the 19th, most probably an
inexpensive dinner, likely at the
Corinthian. of course, everyone is
invited. also, we have to make sure
X is in on this.

i know a few people cant make it
for weds. (including at least one of
the birthday kids) so, how about we
have a dinner for all of the virgos this
thursday? would everyone be cool
with something like that? any
suggestions as to location? i am
half tempted to suggest bar louie,
much as it is despised. i havent been
there in like, a year.

regardless, (as i have taken next friday
off) i am going to the Dock on thursday
night. i had a pretty good time this
past saturday, and i mean to make
it out there more in the future.

A bunch of us are getting together on
Friday (as usual). i am not sure if
gaming is going on. certainly we will
be doing food and movies. also, we
havent played settlers in a long long
time...

Saturday I am heading out to Oktober
Fest (trying to get a group together).
i usually prefer to go early, (it starts
at 11am) but then, its running until
midnight, so really, there is no rush.
i was hoping to get a carpool together
as parking will be insane. alternately,
we could meet up near ludlow and
bus down.

Sunday, I may try to make it to the
Ren Fest. Barring that, I may see the
pirate exhibit on Sunday instead.

comments? ideas? who would like to
go with? i am very open to suggestions.

more later.

morning

2007-09-13T11:10:28Z

i got in to work before 7am today, a
little over half an hour early.

the weather is wonderful. clear. dark.
brisk. it is actually cold outside.
(according to weather.com, its 51
right now) its very beautiful this
morning.

i love walking around when its like
this. it is, perhaps, the one thing i
miss about working until midnight.

contemplating going to the dock
tonight, but it would mean going to
sleep the instant i got home.

is anyone else going?

lj posting via email

2007-09-11T22:11:01Z

this my attempt at posting via email
to livejournal.

i shall succeed, unless i fail.

urgh

2007-09-04T09:46:30Z

the 3 day weekend is over. i had
an okay time. sorry i didnt make it
out to the bbq yesterday.

its tuesday morning, need coffee
badly.

i seem to have gotten it into my
head that i am going to frolicon.

its march 20-23, i believe.

does anyone want to come with?

back

2007-08-23T10:14:47Z

what a hassle

well, i have power once more.
and dealing with more issues at
home. i really wanted to go to
the dock tonight, but i dont
believe i will be making it.

i may just watch a few movies at
home. would anyone be interested
in joining?

now, to work...

or...perhaps i spoke too soon

2007-08-21T19:31:30Z

6 hours later...and still no juice.

back at the library, getting impatient.

there goes my day...

powers returning...

2007-08-21T16:19:27Z

alright...after a fairly sucky (not
in the good way) 24 hours, i have
resolved some things, and i should
have power restored within the next
2 or 3 hours, if its not already.

at the library, killing time at this
point. mostly just trying to keep
cool.

i am very, very seriously considering
going to the dock this week. who else
will be going? i have also been made
aware of something going on this
saturday at sawer point. sounds like a
crazy circus/outdoor festival sort of
thing.

(ive noticed this city seems to have an
awful lot of outdoor festivals, but i
have been to very few recently)

i plan on going to that. does anyone
know more about it? anyone else interested
in going?

more later. from home, one hopes...

powerless...

2007-08-20T20:45:43Z

so...my temp agency hasnt paid
me in over a month. at lunch i
found out duke had killed power
at the house. also...i do not
have enough to reinstate it.

lovely, eh?

louis and i are at the library
right now, enjoying free internet
access and air-conditioning.

as work has not proptly dealt
with their bill (to me), i am
suspending their service until i
receive payment in full.

i.e. im not working tomorrow.

which is foolish, their is air
and internet at work, not at
home.

how is your day going?

a case of the mondays

2007-08-13T22:53:26Z

so...this morning, woke up with a
horrendous, pounding headache.

and it lasted all day long. until
about an hour and a half before i
left work.

oh yeah, i had almost nothing to
eat all day.

you know, i was almost as bad off
as friday, but i didnt even consider
taking the day off or leaving early.

(the latter would have been very
easy to do)

friday, i knew right away i wasnt
going in. very little deliberation.

on the other hand, thursday night,
i knew no sleep. i couldnt think
straight.

so...it seems its not a matter of
pain or wellness; rather, how much
my judgment is impaired. i dont
really care how much i suffer, i
just dont want to look like a slacker
at work...

kooky

better...a bit

2007-08-10T20:45:44Z

I feel less awful now.

i did get a few hours of sleep early
this afternoon.

called the plumber. i need to figure
out how to choreograph that dance
number...but in that case, i have
until next friday.

just trying to stay cool. i really
need to think about eating something.
by my estimation, at some point, my
appetite is just going to suddenly
kick in, at which point i will become
unexpectedly ravenous.

hrmm...

trig...me

2007-08-10T11:27:33Z

i am so so sleepy.

...and i totally cant sleep.

so...uh...writing...

what has happened to me since may 17th

-got fired

-chilled out for a couple weeks

-got a much better job

-better job had insanely strict security
for computer access. as such, i didnt have
the access necessary to actually do any
work. so for a month i: listened to other
calls, spent hours reading 15 min worth of
documentation. read several books i brought
from home. poured over wikipedia, researching
the 1st and second punic wars, the moons of
jupiter, anarctic krill, and the musical;
brigadoon.

- 4 work days ago, i had finally acquired
enough access as work to do work. not to
brag, i actually do my job very well, and
my high output is appreciated.

(ZT left its scars, it felt very strange to
receive respect from management, to be praised
for effort, ambition, and accomplishment)

improvement

2007-08-10T08:14:17Z

im feeling a bit better now.

well...i still feel like ass, but,
i feel significantly less angst-y.

(thank you. toast and all)

im told there may be a low pressure
center moving in...that might be
part of it.

also, i may have a touch of heat
sickness. i havent really eaten
anything substantial since weds.
i have no appetite at all.

i need to figure shit out. i need
to talk to people today. (i need
to get that freaking plumber on
the horn) i need to call in sick
and try to get some damn sleep.

fi

2007-08-10T08:01:38Z

i have returned.

ive been putting off post for a while now.
honestly, im not feeling it now...but i
need to talk and there is no one to talk
to. (thus vindicating the lj paradigm)

things that have occurred to me within the
past 4 hours:

i would make the worst historian ever.

for someone with literary and scholarly
pretensions, im actually not as observant
as i should be. i set myself up. its all
me.

that is, i am, at times, a profoundly stupid
smart person. at best.

which is particularly bad, because i should
know better.

i cannot sleep at all. nor will i be sleeping.
and i didnt sleep well last night.

depending how i feel, i may call in sick
tomorrow.

im getting a really bad headache.
