SIDEBAR 211
(...in the last few months we were...)
Reading: Lots of short things; news articles, paragraphs, single-pages. I don't know that I can (or care to) retain the info of long writings anymore. Fuck it. Open and study the God-damned Tesla Papers that have been sealed up since the day he died, if you want to read something so badly, dickface.
Watching: there is so much new and weird shit on tv, after just 4 months of 2016...TRU tv is trying very hard, and is connected to TBS?..There are 3 FX channels now. And Archer is back--on one of them, so suck a bag of dicks.
Class Projects: She is so unimpressed with tv. Castle, Oregon Art Beat, and I did make her watch all 6 "Generation X"'s on NGC (she liked them). I LOVE the Generation X series, and I'm now Facebook friends with (star) Alison Stewart--she totally wants me!
movies together: never again, at home, I think. The only movie we WENT to in 2015 was the new Star Wars in Colorado, over Christmas 2015. And the only movie we've GONE to in 2016 was the same new Star Wars in January. I have a more 'willing suspension of disbelief' than she does. See next.
Shit I watch alone: I went and saw Deadpool on Saturday 2-13, then 'Where to Invade Next' on Tuesday 2-16-18. Before the Bijou's Michael Moore movie there was an ad for an upcoming documentary made by Toyota about how Toyota is keeping jobs in America (I couldn't make this shit up).
I own, through compilation discs, about 50 crappy horror movies now, and more to come...
Billy and Billie on the AUD channel is pretty good...Flophouse on Tru tv is great!..Hap and Leonard on Sundance is okay...Rich Reich's "Inequity For All" was great!.."The Internet Ruined My Life" is cute (but these people weren't going to make it much further anyway)...Full Frontal w/samantha Bee is great...Nikki Glaser's show is good, too.
Comedians: Gary Owen "I Agree With Myself", "Nasty Show" w/Artie Lang,
I am all over the place; everything! Daniel Tosh' "People Pleaser" is the best thing this century; a top 3 of all time!..I have 6 "Half Hour"'s recorded...Comedy Knockout on Tru tv is good...Nikki Glaser's "Perfect"
Crappy cable movies: Resident Evil (2wice), Apocoplypse, Extinction, and Afterlife--left over from being recorded during 'Sweatsgiving' on IFC; "Let Us Prey" was okay (it HAD a rape disclaimer, but did not have any rape in it, btw), Catch Hell, Buffalo 66 (stupid), Shooter (ehh), Tart (had potential), The Hungover Games, Safe, The Condemned, Wind Chill, The Collage, Devour, Ant Man, Sex Tape, The Cave, are there 3 I Spit On Your Grave remakes?..
Play it Again's: My new NYE thing is to watch the movie "12 Monkeys" alone. I've done it 3 years in a row now...3-15-15 was my Prom Night marathon, when I found out that PN2 has been edited from the better 80's version. Shit...Wanted (2007) had NIN's "Everyday is exactly the same" in it, AND my book 'what to say when you talk to yourself'...Natasha Leggero Live at Bimbo's...Ari Shaffir "Paid Regular"...Total Recall...
WTF Is Hollywood Up To Now? I hope you're still laughing about all the remakes we mentioned last month. They cannot possibly remake more, can they? Holy Shit Yes! They are remaking Point Break--WTF? (Will they AT LEAST let Keanu Reeves play Gary Busey's old man part in the remake?)...They might as well remake Moby Dick, and Frankenstein, too! NO FUCKING WAY--THAT WAS A JOKE! BOTH? REALLY? Opey is making Moby Dick; Opey Dick? Sure it is; and exactly who is making the new (and completely necessary) Frankenstein? Hollywood is fucking hilarious!..Next up; reunion shows! Friends, Will + Grace, 24, Pee Wee Herman, Fuller House--it's all coming!..
Watching and Hearing: In late November 2015, the Dan Lebatard show told me to watch Tropic Thunder. So I bought it, have watched it 2wice, and love it! Also; I've been watching the Dan LeBatard show sometimes, and I have been recording both PTI AND Highly Questionable, daily!...When she ain't home, my Youtube is an orgy of the 3 songs I drive people to hate; "Now Is The Time", "Panic switch", and the extended "Fascination Street" (plus since she's hated Rage Against The Machine since before she met me, I play "Evil Empire" and "Renegades")...I saw ELO on Kimmel, they sounded like 1980...
Commercials: I have convinced myself that there is some Industrial "Tainted Love" in a Coors Light ad. And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is how my brain works!
Now with faster than dial-up internet; Youtubing: From Christmas 2014 the girlfriend's parents got me NIN's "Broken" (from 1992). I always thought there was also a "Fixed", and there is. Now I want that, too...
Hearing: 23 CD's on my desk. NIN probably circulates the quickest...A sudden surge in late 90's Crystal Method at the end of April; very nice. I need something!..
New on the radio; At least I still wake up to radio. I am the only "homed" person I know who radio-listens at all!
Musical Purchases this month from the Tom Tucker discount wall at Skip's Records And CDWorld; my future place of employment, and permanent Barbie Dream Home: On 12-5-15 Saturday I stopped in to get some incense; cool Ian was there, and recognized me immediately. I also was looking for NIN's "Fixed", but they didn't have one. I was, however, loving the music on in the store. I asked if it was Bad Religion, and it was! So I looked REALLY cool for a minute, to Ian and the new long-haired guy...4-12-16; bought the new Filter "Crazy Eyes" at Skip's!..
Out and About: "Sad Eyes"--Robert John at Home Depot, "500 Miles"--The Proclaimers, at Fred Meyer (Kroger), on the store loop. That means I lost a bet with somebody back in 1993. Somebody said that "500 Miles" would eventually be an 'old school' Alternative staple (and it is), and would be played like an early reference Alternative song (I agreed to this, yes), but there's NO WAY it would be on grocery store loops, and soft rock stations, etc. The song would NEVER be 'highly revered'. I said NO FUCKING WAY, and, WOW, I was dead WRONG!
Singing: "Everyday Is Exactly The same" and "Parasite"-NIN, "Roll Start"--W. C. Davis, "Another Tricky Day"--the Who, "Flagpole Sitta"--Harvey Danger, "Stranger Than Fiction"--Bad Religion, "Dangerous"--Big Data, "Lump"--Presidents, "Night Train"--G + R,
2-18-16; Aloha--Caviar, Name of the Game--Crystal Method
4-20's-16 "Barrel of a Gun" and "It's No Good"--Depeche Mode, all day, everyday. They are haunting me. My brain is always playing and singing something. You're welcome.
What I want today: (January 2016) I want to work for Mark Zuckerberg's new alliance to give away his $45 billion ($1 billion per year) to benefit the earth. All I need is a couple million $; I could save him all kinds of money!..
New stuff this month or so: The San Bernadino shooting was on 12-2-15; tv news while I was getting my butt probed, colonosco (on my) pee. Great...12-3-16 got my lower dental bridge (also sucks)...12-4-16 vineagar baths for my pipes, and Scott Weiland died...12-5-16 was the night that my puke into the toilet at 9 pm cleaned off the shit stains that I had left earlier. Using puke to clean shit; hey fuck you--you didn't think of it! Then I almost dropped my new denture into the shitty puke; not so funny now, huh? Yeah, Mr. Joke Funny Man (Richard Jenni)...12-7-15 Pearl Harbor Day. Dinner, Dr. Who, and decent house-cleaning...Helen's funeral (Shannon's wife) was on 1-31-16. 2-16; at Fred Meyer they sell 200 mg "Heavyweight" frisbees (REAL trash can lids) for $9 now. WTF?.. (3-25-16) My thumbs are perfect; when did I stop chewing the shit out of my thumbs?.. 4-8-16 My monthly insurance is X per month... In May it goes up $6 per month. Why?..
89 yr. old Richard Shannon passed away on Friday 4-29-16 in Arizona. He will be missed...
This Month of bargain-shopping (Dollar Tree, Cash King, Big Lots, etc.): I hardly go anymore. The girls aren't as cute, and their stuff is too expensive!
Occupational Hazards: working with Shannon? Personal assisting? Whatever; until he moved to Arizona in March. Then he passed...I sure as fuck don't work at the arcade, never did, and never will. Snicker...
Personal shit for my own memory banks this month: I'm not keeping a daily back pain/body pain journal; that's some stupid shit. But I am 'drowning here, please'. I need to suffer, or something, so that I can more greatly appreciate what I do have. And I'm dancing around my first-world relationship problems. Problems? Yes! I am WAY too affectionate. Period! I want to kiss, snuggle, eat pussy, be sucked, give and get backrubs, naked naps, food porn, water sports, spontaneous lust, etc. But she will have NONE of it! And I'm too grabby and too kissy. I warned her back in 1998 about this, and she said I would be wrong/she would be different. She lied to me! I need a new affection outlet, or I am going to combust. If only we could relive the late 90's again...I got sick when I found out Shannon was leaving, and stayed sick for almost 2 months. I didn't care anymore. And I have quit caring about so many things...I feel like bOTH bars I make appearances in have taken full advantage of me because they think I will not retaliate to their bullying, OR even stand up for myself. And so far, they are correct. Yeah; keep poking the bear.
While I was still working with Shannon and doing physical therapy (12-15), I put one of those $5 WalMart chair pillows in my driver's seat, and it works pretty well...
1-26-16 Tues. Dr.'s appointment, 220 lbs.
1-27-16 crazy cleaning day, X-Files finally watched, great dinner, attempted sex, oh well
2-5-16 I made $85 today; worked with Shannon early (45), then sold some stuff late (40)...
Got kicked out of physical therapy in 3-16; they expected to see "improvement". Yeah; I laughed, too...
WAY too fat now. I think we maxed out at 224 in one Dr.'s office, 4-14-16. Still don't have all my medical records together for any full viewing, but we're closer.
4-25-16 was Monday. Masturbated wet Sunday night, then dry humped to finish Monday morning, then good afternoon solo sex. Penis pills, baby! Then masturbated wet again Monday night! 4 rounds in 24 hours; wow for me! I'm 28 again! Late April had some dream MILF computer-pic band aids. I sure as fuck need something!
Pinball and Golden Tee stuff: 12-2-15 Pinball Knights, maybe? I have no idea--I was watching movies post-colonoscopy; Andy S. said he would run it, but who knows?. Yes! Andy S. ran it--on Sam VR's phone (very innovative); 12 people, and I can do a top 5 update on FB now...12-9-15 Pinball Knights; 10 people, and I came in 3rd. No more Pinball Knights for me until 2016...In JCH/Dr. Who news; that person has not yet answered my 3.270 billion/159 loops on Dr. Who pinball, from late 11-20-15. Perhaps I have won this round...I HAD the high score (NEW 641 mil) on the first randomized version of Jurassic Park pinball, but that's all over. DLD has a 1.1 billion score now. Just keep in mind that MY 1.4 billion on the old settings of JP was done DURING Pinball Knights; my 641 high score with the new settings was also done during Pinball Knights (and I let ball 3 drain out). I have witnesses, AND victims, for my JP high scores...Fuck Pinball and Golden Tee. I won 8 of the first 15 Pinball Knights of 2016; did any of your other fake role-models do that well? No, they did not. Thank you...A magical "sleight of back-hand" shot...Pinball Knights gets reworked into IFPA points on 5-25-16, and since nobody will tell me who is running it, should I assume that it is, or is not me? I do sense the irony of 5-25, and wonder if that is the night that I will snap (cool?)...
4-5-16 it was fun putting up 595 milion on the reworked, reset, super-randomized, start-it-all-over-and-make-it-too-tough-for-Clark-to-beat Jurassic Park, so that's ANOTHER 3-knock high score for NEW. Maybe they should reset it for me again! Oh; I have to update the JP (everybody)/Dr. Who (JCH) high scores. I'm slipping. Later!
Poker stuff: 12-6-15 Shannon's Sunday Poker: 7 people, I was 4th. I said (to the poker people) "I'm really good at playing dumb." and John L. said "You have the tools." (pretty damn funny)...And that's it; no more poker until 2016!..Poker was cut off 4-6-16. Poker may come back on 5-1-16; first Sunday poker now.
I still have a 34.5 winning % at Facebook's Zynga Poker, 4-10-16.
Grammar: Not anymore. Young teachers say that it's too late to save most of the middle schoolers. Txtng hs ruind thm.
New foods this month: I will be continuing much of the colonoscopy diet (yeah, back in Dec. and Jan.) it goes well with the no chewing diet! Cooked carrots, a can of green beans, a smoothie, a Clif bar (that's 4 snacks already). Trading in 3 meals for 5 snacks per day is a great idea, anyway! Dried pineapple slices are THE SHIT!..Don't we also LOVE the soft Jalapeno Sliders from Arby's? Haven't we been eating 6 of them per week (2 per serving) for months now?..Then my diet went nuts as I stayed sick for 8+ weeks, 2-16 thru 3-16, and ate pure shit like a depressed hoarder for almost 3 months. I did quit hot sauce and hot peppers in March 2016, but had already replaced it with pies and deli brownies (yes, I split the verb, it flows better as 'had already replaced it'). WTF there though? Was I just BEGGING for depression? 'We're sad; yes, but we're not fat enough. More pies.' and I'm all like 'I have less heartburn now, because I quit hot sauce and peppers.' Never mind the 22 lbs. of convenience store pies we've gained since January. Dari Mart chocolate pies (1), cherry pies (2), and lemon pies (3) are absolutely disgusting; and I seem to have run out of them, again.
This month of Blues Jamming: I must change this heading soon. I haven't seen Heavy Chevy in months.
My trials and trib.s as a critical believer in the concept of God: Ha! You go with YOUR version of God, and I'll go with mine...I have been in this slump for long enough to know that I am asking too much from above. I have too much "clutter" right in front of me.
What's different here than in college town: poor Georgia, I miss a lot.
What's different here than dumbass Arizona: poor Arizona, I miss a little.
What is so cool about Oregon? I like this place.
Yes, Oregon's cool and all. Isn't weed also legal? Poker player Travis H. opened up the Jamaica Joel's Dispensary on 13th in 2-16. I am already a VIP, and he would give away weed to my pinballers!..
How Does Your Garden Grow? (Tales from our community garden plot): I have done some good in the garden so far this season, really. ONE problem I did figure out about the garden is footing--walking slower makes old man now (exactly)...I like to ride my bike up to the plot; wheeze, and preach coarse solilioquies to the bike path people while I water.
Life with Static Girl: We leave for another state mid-month (remember this was 12-15)...She does body cleanliness the CORRECT way; she gets out of bed, and goes to work/through her day "dirty". Then later at night, she showers and goes to bed "clean". She can (if she wanted to) skip changing her sheets for months at a time because she's always clean in bed. She is a genius!..She BEGINS packing for vacations THE DAY BEFORE she leaves, maybe hours before she leaves. Seriously--guys don't even wait until 5 hours before the flight to start packing! I thought that I had a problem with procrastination--until I met her...She needs her "clone" time. It's probably "alone" time, but I can't read all the writing on her walls, perfectly. I can read her mind, but may miss exact letters...Tried to tell her (after 3 weeks of being sick) that I was feeling much better--as I puked up in my mouth...Sick, on the warped tour, she sits with me to watch tv. I can't even sit up. She says 'go to bed.' I say 'But we're bonding.' Then I put my hand on her leg and say 'This is nice.' (like on The Bachelor)...1 to 4-16; she put a better faucet head on the kitchen sink, I put in the new more gooder save-the-earth shower head, and I Amazon-got her the new 24 inch monitor (just like mine) for her Christmas present. She deseves so much more, but that's what she gets...Kissing my girl's buns SHOULD be yummy fun foreplay! I'm a mad genius! Now how do I trick her into letting me?..
My FCP has this for me: I miss her. They're still upset about the Packers playoffs 6 months ago.
Comments From The Peanut Gallery: In 3 days of release, the new Call Of Duty game raked in $550 million (good job, people)...The average price of a new car in America during November 2015 was $32,966. Maybe I just found the problem!..Tesla Motors released all of their patents on electric cars back in 2014, and nobody is making new electric cars. There IS, however, a new (non-electric) BMW that lists for $97K...Chantix and Zyban are stop-smoking products that might cause suicidal thoughts. So they did a study; only ONE person taking the drugs attempted suicide. while THREE people taking the placebo attempted suicide. Now; what's the real threat; cigarettes at 33%, or sugar pills at 100%? Goodnight everybody!..
A thought to take with you: "Men tend to oversimplify, generalize, and go quiet. Women tend to overthink, specialize, and keep talking."--W. C. Davis..."There are essentially only 2 drugs that Western civilization tolerates; caffeine from Monday to Friday to energize you enough to be a productive member of society, and alcohol from Friday to Monday to keep you too stupid to see the prison that you are living in."--Bill Hicks
Oregon Bumper Stickers: "Save the baby humans; end abortion!",
Band names: Colonized Lava Tubes (Moon, Mars, and here), Vineagar Chocolate Puke, Jake From State Farm, Cash Only (real Oregon band), Dumpster Needles, Porn Plot, Shower-Phobic Vegans (Idiotsitter),
(...last month we were...)
Reading: The new Rob Gronkowski book (ha).
Watching: too much
Class Projects: Castle, Oregon Field Guide, "Inequality For All" (WOW! Robert Reich),
movies together: "The Observed Life" documentary (very good),
Shit I watch alone: The Detour on TBS is good.
Comedians: Daniel Tosh "People Pleaser"; Lots more too, comedy keeps me from killing.
Crappy cable movies: many, none to brag about
Play it Again's: Die Hard, Wanted (NIN "EDIETS", and the 'What to say when you talk to yourself' book),
WTF Is Hollywood Up To Now? Fuck Hollywood.
Watching and Hearing: Like music videos and stuff? Sure. So Prince died. Then when I saw "Purple Rain" in the $5 movie bin of Walmart, I bought it. And I remember thinking that I 'didn't even like Purple Rain, but I would totally buy the first "Point Break" from a $5 bin'. Then I found Point Break the next week, in the same $5 bin (and bought it)...
Now with faster than dial-up internet; Youtubing: Jimmy Eat World, 90's music, NIN everything!
Hearing: (CD's on my desk) "Crazy Eyes"--Filter, "The Opposite Of Light"--Die So Fluid, "For The Masses"--Depeche Mode tribute, "1.0"--Big Data toaster
New on the radio; what is a radio?
Musical Purchases this month from the Tom Tucker discount wall at Skip's Records And CDWorld; my future place of employment, and permanent Barbie Dream Home: incense
Out and About: can't hear much, your problem
Singing: "Everyday Is Exactly The Same" "Something I Can Neve Have" oops, lots of NIN--NIN, "Sweet Little Lass"--Dag, "Dirty Laundry"--Don Henley, "Smuggler's Blues"--Glenn Frey, 6 from Crystal Method, "Girl you know it's true"--Milli Vanilli
What I want today: I want to become the Pinball Guru of Eugene. Well, I did. Now? Fuck 'em.
New stuff this month or so: Direct TV's customer-retention department is the biggest joke since 'knock knock'. I can't wait to call them again! I heard dancing, singing, and lots of unscripted background noise. What I did not hear was anything that resembles customer-retention.
This Month of bargain-shopping (Dollar Tree, Cash King, Big Lots, etc.): sticky tape, and I'm out of post-it notes. That's good, right? That I need to write shit down?
Occupational Hazards: Oh my fuck. Descriptive terminology. The shit storm is about to begin. Will walked out 5-28-16...Looks like I'mma get paid now? No, of course they want to keep dicking around. Okay...
Personal shit for my own memory banks this month (My Journal): This month starts with a lack of sleep, and the anxiety of want/needing a new obsession...May The Fourth WED.S Up All Night, after pinball, to 3 pm TH, finally updating website? Yes, and we stayed up till 8 pm TH before crashing for 9 hours!..5-6-16 Fri morn I woke up and totally shaved my head for the first time. Good day overall...Sat 5-7 after a good trip to the garden, I unceremoniously broke the 2012 NW OH-PIN special Ninkasi glass, even while trying to be careful. Oh well. Life goes on...5-8 Mother's Day. Called/talked to my Mom twice so far...11 days lost? THIS is why I need help, like from the The Observed Life documentary. We all need to be forced to record something everyday...5-19-16 Dr.'s appt.; I'm depressed (really?), and have to do a 'yoga for chronic pain' class on Tuesdays. Maybe that's good. Not the yoga--yoga sucks. Maybe this "depression" is good...5-22-16 Sunday. After 2 bad days in a row, I at least got out to do a big "stress walk". I didn't know that these heavy duty hand-exercisers I squeeze even COULD break, but now I've broken 2 of them this year. Perhaps I have some "stress"...5-23-16 Mon. Slept till 3 pm. Walked, accosted Cheri, then passed back out. Lots of lower back pain; set up my therapy for 6-8-16. So Tuesday became the attempt at Yoga For Chronic Pain. That was fun. After that fiasco ended, I was watching tv and got tired around 2 am. So I went to bed and, 3 hours later to get there, slept till almost noon on 5-25-16 Wednesday; Crusade Day 31 years later? Sure. What a day! I walked my regular mile; did 2 days worth of gardening, cleaned both bathroom floors, shaved my head again, cooked dinner, and tried for sex (key word "tried"). I am almost amazing. Then I went to play pinball. 8th of `12 at the new IFPA eventually stuff, on pain pills, and didn't stress out! In fact, I didn't feel anything! Yay pills! So then we stayed up all night, obsessing like I do so well. Then TH morn 5-26-16 happened, with car washes, and grocery runs. "Unslept" is a word now. I stayed awake all Thursday until 6 pm Friday, then was passed out until midnight Friday night (No Boundaries?), then up till 5 am Sat, nap till 10 am, and we were AT Saturday Market by 11:10 am. Not perfect, but pretty good. Then to garden for an hour, and she was a tad grumpy--so I took over. then I'm running around trying to mail shit on MemorialHoliSaturday, and UPS is open? Yay. Then to the arcade for weird Will news...5-29-16 was Sunday. I don't remember. Yes; maybe I get to run pinball now. 5-30-16 Monday was lost. No cleaning either. Had been up till 6 am Monday morning, then I started to take over Eugene pinball. I went with my ideas to see Chad, and he liked them. No word on final pay; but I have a raise, a paid babe assistant (Katie), and her man Andy to be our mechanic on duty. I get shit done! Home at 8 pm Monday, but Static was asleep already. No cleaning. Passed out at 4 am, and stutter-slept till noon. "Stutter-slept" is also a word now. No phone calls, but I was only 10 minutes late to yoga this time. It was better, too; fewer people dancing. Then I came home to change and head back out to continue the take over of pinball in Eugene. I am signed up for Matchplay.events, and all looks good for me to run IFPA pinball tomorrow, 6-1-16! It's 3 am Tues. night, and I'm on my 4th email to the new victim. Pray for her!
Closing Thoughts, and Final Summaries for the month: Tom left Laaz in charge of feeding Tom's dogs while Tom is in Texas. Does Laaz even have a car to drive the 12? miles to Tom's house (it's a car drive, not a bike ride). At this time, I do not care about Tom, or car-less Laaz, but Tom's dogs are obviously going to suffer. Tom's gone for a month? Laaz may have a car soon? Nobody tells me anything. Tom's got some 'splaining to do when he gets back.
Pinball and Golden Tee stuff: May The Fourth 2016 Pinball Knights; 12 people, and I won it...5-8-16 Mother's Day Game of Thrones 1.011 bil #4 score at Level Up (and I have not read a rules sheet, or even discussed the actual gameplay with anybody yet)...5-11-16 Pinball Knights; 14 people, and I won it...5-18-16 Final $5 Festivities Pinball Knights! 17 people, and I won it again (I won the last 3?)...5-25-16 New Pinball Knights; 12 people, and I came in 8th, maybe worse. Who cares? Will ran it, and came in 2nd. Then on Saturday 5-28 Will quit his job at Blairally, and left. Will's been the best Eugene pinball player for 2 years running. Bye...
Poker stuff: 5-1-16 Poker Sunday; 5 people, I came in 2nd to Ron O...People might like the option of a Sunday poker game at a different bar? Ray's at Brew + Cue, right?..
Grammar: Perhaps we've all been doing this wrong. Instead of telling kids how to write better, tell them to just write it all out in one big paragraph. If the recipient is interested in what is being written, then they will do whatever it takes to decipher the words. Problem solved...
New foods this month: Red Bulgur is great!..My favorite meal is a "something" (peanut) butter and jelly sandwich on Static Girl bread, with a side of jalapeno Kettle chips, and a throwback Mountain Dew. A man should know what his favorite meal is!..The garlic Kettle chips are excellent...
This month of Blues Jamming: ha
My trials and trib.s as a critical believer in the concept of God: My God; My Rules. Eat shit. God thinks you act stupid, anyway...
What's different here than in college town: Just like Georgia! YES! A car in the neighborhood has "SLUT" scraped into the driver's door. I stopped and laughed hard! It's on my walk; a black Kia. I want to meet the girl who drives that car!..UGA's women won softball!
What's different here than dumbass Arizona: no
What is so cool about Oregon? Belknap Hot Springs; we're going/went on 5-13-16 for her birthday unplugged weekend. It was really good.
Yes, Oregon's cool and all. Isn't weed also legal? Sure it is. But I'm still medical...
How Does Your Garden Grow? (Tales from our community garden plot): There is a new nazi coordinater at the garden. She thinks she can just make everybody jump up and do her bidding. Ha...
Life with Static Girl: She hit 43 this month...that's why we went to Belknap Hot Springs for the weekend, and it was very nice enough...She is the only real thing that keeps me going...I went to sleep after an all-night binge of internet therapy at 10 am Saturday 5-28. I woke up at 8 pm, which is great sleep! She had left me notes through the day mentioning how long I had slept, and asked me if I felt better/got good sleep, etc. I left her a note that said "You make me sleep better. I dream about kissing you!". And (of course) she wrote "shut up" back to me (that's her, being all romantic). She still wants me!..
My FCP has this for me: She is doing great, and hardly bothers me at all! She deserves happiness and contentment.
Comments From The Peanut Gallery: Trump and Clinton? It's too easy.
A thought to take with you: (Why am I not just putting up a Bill Hicks quote here every fucking day? I don't know why not, so let's start today:)
"Yeah, you're made of starstuff. But so is garbage, so calm the fuck down."--Bill Hicks
"I just want to hold you and worship you and stare and mumble dark things under my breath at you for the rest of my life. Totally captivated and entranced by you, at your beck and call. Woo. Wait, no. Fuck. That's my home life."--Me; describing what I want, to another woman.
"...Sincere environmental efforts would recognize we have passed the limits to growth on a round, finite planet."--Mark Robinowitz
Oregon Bumper Stickers: "We can bomb the world to pieces, but we cannot bomb the world to peace."
Band names: Trailer Park Foreplay, Walking Dessert Menu,
New words? Unslept and stutter-slept
(...last month we were...)
Reading: I don't read like I should. But I do the word jumbles/comics everyday.
Watching: way too much, and not enough
Class Projects: Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is excellent; we still want her to host the Daily Show--no offense to Trevor.
movies together: not enough time
Shit I watch alone: everything. The Ancient Aliens Shows (Time Travelers, The Tesla Experiiment, Pyramids of Antarctica, NASA's Secret Agenda, etc.) prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that technology is being kept from us humans. We are being kept down, or held back, from something. Maybe it's for our own good, but it would be nice to know what's going on...
Comedians: Wait; I had something for this...Deon Cole "Cole-Blooded Seminar", Dan Soder "Not Special", Amy Schumer "Live At The Apollo" 2015,

Closing Thoughts, and Final Summaries for the month: June 2016. I shouldn't HAVE to take a shower, AND eat pain pills, just to get through the day. Something is wrong here, and I am not afraid to admit it. Fuck you. I need some anti-anxiety meds, or something.
Talking to the new therapist is a good thing. He's going on 2 weeks of vacation in early July, but we have made progress!
Ancient Aliens; If you understand biological time, calender time, and astrological time, then you will have insight into everything...Humans are from "Sirius", which does create some 'static' for that word, yes. We are so fucked...Tesla says that the 3,6, and 9 are keys...
Pinball and Golden Tee stuff: 6-1-16 New Pinball Knights w/IFPA points! 12 people, I was 11th (I so totally do not give a fuck about competitive pinball anymore; shhh.).

New stuff this month or so: Mike Conley of the Memphis Grizzlies now averages over $30 mil. per year--richest contract in NBA history (153 mil over 5 years); I still have not heard of him, or seen him, and he's never made an all-start team, but he is my new hero!..The NHL franchise in Las Vegas is going to be called "The Black Knights", which is perfect for this racially charged time!..Another suicide attack in Nice, with Turkey suffering a coup, and there are warships all over the Chinese sea!..Saw a guy in our apartments riding a skateboard with ball-bearing wheels--totally old-school!..

How Does Your Garden Grow? (Tales from our community garden plot): Cucumbers are really starting to come in at the end of July.
Life with Static Girl: She called my "Adult Alternative" Sonic music channel "weak", and the "Old People Channel". I was pissed. She said she didn't want our guinea pig listening to crap like Silversun Pickups (she did?), Cheri said Lucy should be listening to female-fronted punk rock (yes, she did). But we don't have a punk rock channel; so I am now giving Lucy the guinea pig at least an hour per day of the Blues channel, and Cheri approves...
Is this 3 months with the new victim? Well, the end of July 2016 would be, yes. And she's not "new", and she's not a victim. I am the victim!..7-10-16 I was shut down by her, for my bad attitude and stuff...7-13-16 we're back up again. Then 7-14-16 is when I started my "downpression". We're both pretty messed up.
My FCP has this for me: she has her new man, and new life, it's been quiet for months, and we are totally happy for her!
Comments From The Peanut Gallery: 2 political candidates?

9-21-16; IFPA New Pinball Knights was great tonight, with 12 people ready to flip out on 11 machines. We even put Ghostbusters in! When it was over, we had some, um, (until proven otherwise) TONIGHT was the first time, EVER, a newbie saw US in the Eugene Weekly, then came in and WON Pinball Knights--with Andrew, Darren, and Clark all playing. I'M saying that THIS has never happened, in 4 years. Seriously. So pay attention, people, because there may be a new sheriff in town. Results?
1st. (Newbie) Matt Walton - $75, and a can of 2 Towns Cider!
2nd. Andy M. - $35
3rd. Darren D. - $10
4th. Tom R. - Fourthmeal (Food from The Sandwich League!)
5th. Andrew S.
6th. Clark D.
7th. (newbie) Mira Mason-Reader - A bottle of 2 Towns Cider!
8th. Kevin C. - A Nice Parting Gift!
9th. Nick J.
10th. Adam B. - A Nice Parting Gift!
11th. Katie S. - A Nice Parting Gift!
12th. (newbie) Terry Walton - The Porkins Award (A Red Five Hotdog!)
This was fun tonight, and we finished before 10:30 pm again! Lots of thanks to give, so here we go: thanks to The Eugene Weekly for continuing to run Pinball Knights in Wednesday's "Outdoors/Recreation" section! Thanks also to Adam B. for letting Blairally showcase his TZ and TAF pinball machines! Thanks to Katie (she's the BOSS) for running the whole thing on her phone, and keeping great notes! Thanks also to Andy M. for being our mechanic-in-play; Darren and Andrew also helped. You should come down next week and check this out for yourself--Clark won't be there (he's going to go drown in Alaska). Heck; maybe another newbie will win it all again! Find out next Wednesday at 8 pm, down at 245 Blair. Come and show your skills in a $10, 3-Strikes pinball tournament w/free play, and IFPA points. We call it The IFPA New Pinball Knights--at Blairally!

What I want today: from last month, A blowjob to Another One Bites The Dust on repeat. 3 times, probably. I also dream of making a porn about...I think about those 4 songs, and how good they were, from the blued Dazed + Confused CD (name them)...And my ancient C-Duction cassette tape fitting perfectly (name them)...I just want great sex and great music all the time; and at least my brain still works at keeping me perverted... Duluth Trader Work pants?.. Buy Ninja Duo . com. Sure.

This Month of bargain-shopping (Dollar Tree, Cash King, Big Lots, etc.): antacids and reading glasses in each suitcase.
Occupational Hazards: It's about time to start getting PAID.
Closing Thoughts, and Final Summaries for the month: The pinball trainwreck is coming!..I finally broke a small piece off my traffic cone bong from 1998. It still works, and I was taught the lesson to be careful when cleaning! Continuing: Same as my Mom and I did with our cruise; it is fun to examine how things go, and that helps to plan better for next time. Learn from mistakes, and project...
Pinball and Golden Tee stuff: (Obviously I highlight my own best examples, but this is pretty good. Nobody else has scored over 3 billion on Dr. Who pinball at Blairally, ever.) Back from the cruise, I put up at least one 3 billion game of Dr. Who for 4 days in a row; starting Monday night 10-3-16, through Thursday night 10-6-16 (3 times Thursday night). I just wanted to do something that nobody else has done, and do it 4 days in a row, often more than once. (It piggyback's on my 'perpetual motion' enlightenment desire. Meh.). 4.6 bil on a Dr. Who final game of the night; lowest score on Dr. Who is 3.6 bil, end of 10-16.
Pinball Knights this month: 10-5-16; 16 people, and I won it...10-12-16; 12 people, some controversy, and I won it...10-19-16; 15 for pinball, I was 12th...10-26-16 14 for pinball; I was 5th...

Hearing: Hazel Virtue "Hip", 3 Buddy Guy CD's, lots of NIN and Garbage, Crystal Method is my default now, duh.
New on the radio; it would be nice to have radio in the Buick. Apparently my car stereo was messed with, and it went into shut-down mode, and now needs a "code" to unlock it (11-27-16).
Musical Purchases this month from the Tom Tucker discount wall at Skip's Records And CDWorld; my future place of employment, and permanent Barbie Dream Home: more posters I haven't put up yet.

Occupational Hazards: This is my website, right? Too many people owe me money already. And I am about to get PAID in this town...
Personal shit for my own memory banks this month (My Journal): It ain't for you, bitch. There are only a few people who know what I do every day, and you are not one of them.
Closing Thoughts, and Final Summaries for the month: My Nutri-Ninja 1500 Blender finally went on sale, and I am happy--but now we wait until Thanksgiving Day, 11-24-16...
Pinball and Golden Tee stuff: (Our charity for the December preseason tourneys is Luvable Dog Rescue. No-kill shelter, focus on pit rescue, with a lot of acreage here in Eugene. They're thrilled and are going to help us promote, of course.)
11-8-16 Tuesday night, last pinball game after 2 am; 3.8 bil on Dr. Who. (then my muffler fell off)...11-15-16 my 2nd game of the new Scared Stiff was 11.8 mil, which was #4 at the time...Now I've got #3 at 20 mil...And another 5 bil game of Dr. Who; so?

Grammar: Oh I give up.
New foods this month: last month; I pounded my first pizza in the bottom of the steamer. I wanted it to go poorly, to justify the 1500 watt Ninja Blender purchase, but my pizza kicked ass! Maybe Static Girl needs a new Ninja 2 horsepower blender to make dough for the oven?..(Also last month) The dollar burritos at Walmart are horrid (I keep hoping they'll get better). The $3 Philly Cheese Steaks are not bad at all (name?)...
Uh oh. 11-15-16 Normally $250; the 1500 watt 2 hp. Super Triple Ninja Blender I want is on sale at Fred Meyer for $150. I think I have to! Wait; it may go down to $130 next week? Uh oh...
