February 1st thru the 7th, 2004Previous Week | Archive Index | Current Blog | Next Week Sunday February 1st, 2004. Superbowl Sunday  Read Wicked for much of the day, then went over
to friend's of the neighbor's to watch the Superbowl. Since
nothing else much happened, I'll use this space to say: blah game. Wasn't really in to it. I was sort of in
to it last year, when it was Raiders and Bucs, but this year, well, I haven't been following football very much. So
now I'll update the blog and then read some more Wicked.
Monday February 2nd, 2004 I finished Wicked, having gotten through all if it in 3 days. I am halfway through A Short History of Nearly Everything and most of the way through Me Talk Pretty One Day. This looks to be a week for reading.
Bowled. Get this: I bowled a 145, a 205, and a 144. I walked there and walked back. And then I chopped up vegetables and chicken for the crockpot tomorrow. And then I boiled eggs for a sandwich tomorrow. I am so freakin' domesticated. And now, having used the word "freakin'" 3 times, I shall not use it anymore. Today.
The State of the Jason  Here is a brief interlude where I get some things off my chest. I
have not been updating my Blog very often lately, and I hope its just a phase. It's not as if I have fans
hanging on my every update, but I still want to maintain a good work ethic. There are lots of different
blogs out there-- some are just day-to-day description of day-to-day activities, less a "diary" and more a
"journal" if you know what the difference is (and don't bother with dictionary.com if you don't-- I'm
talking about connotations here, not denotations). Others do delve more into thoughts and feelings,
impressions and other emotional outpourrings. Still others are just meme-pool catalogs of webby-info related
to one's activities. Mine is a kind of a mixture of these. Its an outlet, a means by which to do something
creative on a regular basis, not unlike the weekly horoscopes of a year ago or even the short stories I used
to write all the damn time. That I have not been enthusiastic about it as of late is telling, in that it is
a matter of discipline, not desire, that keeps me at the computer, and lord knows I need discipline. so
that's good. But look for there to be a subtle change in the tone of the blog, as I struggle with
this.Okay, thanks for listening. Now I will find some very goofy and entirely inapropriate image to accompany this entry.
Tuesday January 3rd, 2004 I Blog therefore I am. Okay not really. Work. The gym. Sweating. The calories. MP3s. A shower, a shave, a nap. The house smelling like crock potted chicken and vegetables. Egg salad sandwiches and a mountain dew code red, uncapitalized to show it has no power over me. Some Bryson, some Sedaris. Some tea. The walk to SBC for Coffee, the Guaymas, the walk home, listening to Mad Capsule Markets' Midi Surf over and over again. Here are the lyrics; they are meaningless:
I just like the music. Its thrashy, Japanese, frenetic. Great for running.
Wednesday February 4th, 2004 Man, I can't remember what I did this day. It involved the usual things. I tutored at 4. Algebra. The subject was Pascal's Triangle. I invented a version of this same triangle when I was a lad, before I'd ever heard of it. That makes me some kind of genius I guess. Later that evening I hung out with some folks AT the Broadway Grill on Capitol Hill. But not before I bought some Homie's at Urban Outfitters. I now have ALL of series 1, 4, 5, and 6. Maybe I'll drive to the Everett Mall and get me the rest of series 2 and 3. At the Broadway Grill, by the by, I had their yukon gold mashed potatoes and chocolate shake laced with Kahlúa. Drunk factor: 0.
(ed.: Here is a survey thing, which appeared in the side-panel)
Hopped on Seattle Craig's List, saw an ad for someone who
wanted to walk around Greenlake, so we met, and we walked, and that's that.
It occured to me put in the up-to-date-stats section a line for "days since last orgasm" but then I figure,
in as much as this is my blog and I can do whatever I want with it, I nevertheless want people
read this thing, so I'll keep the too personal information to myself I think. I mean, some things are
just better left unsaid, you know?
You know what would make for a good survival horror video game? One based on The Ring.
For no good reason, here's my right arm.
Saturday February 7th, 2004  Started off with Puzzle Pirates (which I have been playing for a while but have failed to
mention). I am Bloodybukk, and I have been increasing my skills in Bilge Pumping, Sailing, Carpentry, The
Gunnery, Sword Fighting, and Drinking. I am on the verge of joining a REAL crew so I can finally get some
Navigation experience.
