mmmmmmmmy fave

t.b.i.m. - puke april what? 27 - holy crap its almost may -

i'm freakin out. the end of the school year is like stress x1000 can't stand it waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much stuff to get done and stuff that shoulda been done a month ago still isn't done... this doesn't bode well.

--- so my weekend pretty much ruled. i played hookey from the liberry on friday (shhhhhhhhh).. went over my friend sue's and sat outside and enjoyed the weather.

--- saturday i had to work 1-5 which by definition sucks ass but it was o.k. - i lived... and on the way home i went and got me some CRAB LEGGYS and made those they kicked the ass. so delish if i do say so ma'self.. and the weird thing... with the weather being so warm and that vibe going on after steaming the leggs my house smelled like florida. love that.

---- sunday up way to early but made the day go nice and slowly - relishing every moment then i went to dinner with ma'dog jack at minh anh restaurant on detroit.. the food was awesome... although i was full after a spring roll... but the vegetarian (can't be too careful) lo mein was great although i ate about 2 bites of it and took the rest home. i think i could live on their spring rolls w/hotsauce.... went next door to the vietnamese market and got some stuff.

--- got home still light out and sat on the porch - had a coupla beers.

---- this weather is the best... exactly the way i like it. and i still, sans airconditioning, am sleeping with flannel sheets and 2 comforters. i love having fans on..... i am in heaven ... of course its going down tomorrow but still gives me hope for summer, and weiners deluxe cookouts and hangin with the welk/lopixxx crew in the kiddy pool, going to rocky river pool, walking down in the parkway, home grown tomatos, eating corn on the cob daily cuz its so damn good. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

------ weird i almost bought lime sherbet the other day - problem is i don't like icecream but i like sherbet too much.. i'd go gonzo and freeze my brain. i love that shit. but i could't bring ma'self to buy it... such torment.

----------------- oh well i'm 'bout to go eat an eggwhite i'm feelin weak.

pray for more great weather

thea

not the best interview look.

what the hell day is it? i'm on semi-break so it really doesn't matter year 0.

ummmmmmmmmmm what?

so i'm glad to be off school for a week although i did go in one day - not much to do but what ev. ma boss graciously let me opt out of other days - yes. so i had my first full day off on wednesday - but was so busy getting all the stuff i can't ordinarily do done... that i was gone till 5:00 but i conquered getting my hairdid.. picking up my tax materials (thank you tracy for doing that for me - but no thanks to various local, ohio and federal agencies to whom i owe a total of around $650), got stamps mailed tax stuff, went to target - for nothing.. got cat litter, changed said litter boxes, did laundry, and whilst i can fix the hell out of a vaccuum mine is kaput so my house is grotesque but i have to wait till friday after work to get a new one... ick. oh well...

---- sunday a.m. i'm thinking i will be on the erie effusion radio program with one ms. djbg - the early hour is what is terrifying me the only reason i'm up that early is like if i wake up and have to vomit or something never voluntarily. but i'm looking forward to it but i'm also really really nervous. we'll see.

------ super psyched ma'landlord and hero is putting a new fence up b/w my house and the coffee shop parking lot.. so i can take that hunk of material out of my window so car lights aren't illuminating me in my living room every night. yeah!!!

--- so i'm trying to teach 2 people here at work how to crochet - one is left handed so i might as well be doing it blindfolded behind my back and she's real irratic with the finger work.. like we're not playing acoustic guitar here. and the other girl is young i have hope for her but i am an irritable teacher like to me the idea of duct taping their fingers in the proper position seems like the best idea.

----- i'm almost outta here for the day. no appointments today but tomorrow i've got 2 appts back to back......... 1. my polish guru who is back from florida and told co-worker "i need to talk to thea on friday" does that mean computer lesson or does he want to "talk" about something... i mean the one time we "talked" he wanted me to go to phillidelphia with him. uh no. the next is mr. bonner with the wierd diamonel grill on his teeth who is looking for work in the restaurant industry.. my suggestion first and formost would be "take that ridiculous thing out of your mouth so people can at least sort of understand you" oyy yoy yoy. but that will kill 2 hours of my shift so whatever who cares.

----- work saturday..... thats just gay. sadly i will be missing the service for a co-workers mother.. i hate not going to that stuff but sadly the liberry doesn't juggle stuff for friends mothers funeral they'd say something like "well she should have died on wednesday late afternoon or a sunday".

----- i have to run to heinens after work for foil and coffee and prolly some cat food. i've got some talapia thawing for my return home so a nice piece of probably not so sexy fish and vegetables for dinner tonight. fissssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

---- oh well i have to go look up the parma police blotter to see if a student is indeed in some trouble. fun.

later gators.... don't eat cake....

the mutha f....ing bomb!

t.b.i.m. ick. march 23, year 0

happy birfday to the alabama slamma- my bro. matt!

i have a half hour here at the liberry and i'm losin it. so busy, so tired.... so redic... who works like this? besides mules.

yesterday i actually took 2 count 'em 2 naps... just to catch up this 6 day work week and 12 hour days most days is getting deadly.

-- band of brothers was on all day yesterday so that was nice.

---- i have a sort of speaking engagement with ma'boss tomorrow.... he was all like "well we'll come up with an outline...." and i said "no you'll talk and i'll add light comedy" i am (and have been told.... that i'm) incapable of being serious, no matter the situation. i'm trying but i don't have it in me. no can do clap clap.

-- i bought pineapple jelly yesterday - OH MA'LORD i love that crap.. i don't usually keep jellys or jams in the house but i was dying for it yesterday.... i love it- you could smear it on a billy goat and i'd eat it.

-- i don't know what to wear to this speaking thing tomorrow... my mother has at least a couple times a week since i found out i'm doing this... has reminded me in a nicer way not to dress like a whore. i'm not kidding... no congratulations, no that'll be nice, no - you'll do great..... just a constant stream of "you ARE going to dress tastefully aren't you" or "what ARE you going to wear.... you WILL be dressing conservatively won't you". i don't own a business suit nor shall i ever if i'm lucky.. and its not like i'd put on the leopard pants for this... prom yes not this. what ev.... my mother fancies me the type of lady who wears floral print jumpers and turtlenecks with little duckies on them or something... i don't know but she is definitely not pleased with my sense of style. maybe it was of the time back in the day i met her at red lobster and my hair was fuschia.

-- today a student was watching me unpack my "lunch/dinner at the liberry snacks" and there was a whole grain cracker that looks like partical board, a cottage cheese, a banana, a prune yogurt, a bowl of cabbage/broccoli slaw with hot sauce and chicken and 1 hard boiled egg... he looked at me and said "dats some bullshit you be eatin". well luis, i agree. this student also upon finishing the writing portion of the ohio graduation test - i asked him some simple question and he said "is you stupid?" i said "i don't know luis, is i?... is i stupid?" - aaaahhhh the youth.

--- whats up with religious emails from family members that you never knew were religious? i'm now rethinking all the sordid stories i've told and language i use. yikes. don't get me wrong like the doobie brothers i will say "jesus is just alright with me - oh yeah" .

-- i've been obsessing on morrissey and the smiths lately. especially hang the dj. - mainly because i know someone who goes by the name dj and i would like to hang her.

oh well

outty

< this is a teapot

thurzday march what? year 0.

i think its fun when high school students are making ceramic stuff in art class and claim its "a teapot" when its really a teapot that looks exactly like a bong... then wanna get in the principals face for misinterpreting his art and "fuck this fuck everybody here....." and storm out of the building punching a file cabinet on the way out. -- ohhhh little boy there will be far bigger reasons to punch file cabinets when you grow up... and seriously - a teapot.... like nobodys ever in the history of high school attempted the "i'm making a bong in class its gonna be soooooooo cool". D.U.H.

--- also the joy of crazy mom calling 5 times a day - excellent. i even went so far as to disguise my voice so she would maybe not talk to me.

--- i'm almost out of gas... figuratively and literally.

--- freaky security guard is back at the liberry tonight.... mutha...f...ing FREAK.

---i just got up from my desk here and when i came back the $20 i had in my pocket was sitting on my chair in plain sight... oh miracle of miracles no one stole it. thank you g.

--- i got the twilight zone movie - that came out in what the 80's only because of the awesome beginning scene with albert brooks (my fave) and dan ackroyd -- "do ya wanna see something really scary?.............."

---- is polka varities on anymore? prolly not.

--- i also got the movie rachel getting married today... love when the liberry gets new stuff... hopefully i will watch it this weekend.

--- i've got 2 hours of work left

---- what is with the giant eagle. back to my prescription... so i call saturday they say "yep we got it..." i go in on monday at freakin 8:30 p.m. after work and spend 20 minutes standing there while they go through every stinkin drawer,shelf,bag only to find the bag with no prescription in it.. so another 10 minutes of them calling around i presume they were calling some black market connection then they say to me at almost 9:00 p.m. - "you wanna drive to the great northern store to get it?" uh HELLS NO! so they say i can pick it up the next day at the one on lorain (i hate lorain road.. i wish the earth would split open and swallow the whole f..ing thing) so i go there the next day and what the f.... - the guy is like "oh yea we have it but we only have 20 of your 60 prescribed pills so you can COME BACK AGAIN" jesus christ. if i wanted to drive to columbus for a prescription i would have phoned it in to columbus. balls.

--- ma'boss just got here phooooey - no i have to at least pretend to work.. and frankly i don't even feel like pretending.

--- there was a dead bird in my yard yesterday and another bird was like poking it... jesus don't birds know the greatest rule in life "don't f.. with the dead". it really bummed me out.

--- we've been instructed at the liberry that we must wear our id tags at all times - i took a picture of baby sal and put it over my photo. nobody noticed.... thats cool.

--- its been a nice 2 weeks without my polish guru showing up.

---- oh well time for me to act busy. (busy doin nothin)

later

t.b.i.m.m.f. march 9th maybe - year 0

oh well i'm here till stinkin 8:00 p.m. which sucks

- flip side

a friend brought me jambalaya (no crawfish pie or filet- gumbo but we are gonna fill a fruit jar and be gay-o) that rules

-- my pay increase starts next week i think (and given my highly highly paid bro in detroit is about to be laid off) i'm incredibly grateful. so that rules

-i think i have enough cat food for the week - strays too - that rules

- my expired prescription was filled and even between coverages its only $4 that rules

- the crazy old lady that works here is off tonight hooray for silence - that rules.

wednesday march somethin year 0

so i'm at the liberry and there was a huge fight outside of my window crazy assholes trying to beat the shit out of each other literally in the middle of the street holding up traffic. i'd say about 30 dudes. this time i refrained from playing the white shadow and walking amidst them saying "hey let's all be cool".

what a bunch of dopes.

school was zooooey. jesus.. i didn't get a minute to complete anything and the piles of paper are growing on my desk.. i'm thinkin the best thing i could do is go down on saturday for a bit just to clear some stuff out and get something done. but its my saturday oooooooooofffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff damnitt!

--- so i'm outty at 6:00 which is a mere half hour away. i'm in need of half and half do i go heinens which is close to mine house or do i go to the giant eagle which is further and has my arch enemy working as a bagger...(dude threw my beer down the belt and got pissy when i said "hey don't chuck the beer like that" he said "what? you gonna drink that here?" i replied "perhaps i will... please send someone to replace those" - he was not pleased) anyhooo the upside of the giant eagle is they have eggs on say 10 dozen for $10... and at the rate i burn dozens of eggs that might be the right call.... last day of the sale too. i'll leave it to how i feel on the highway as i approach the 140th exit.

oh well that is that

i'm almost home.

later gators.
