looking at you, part II

Everybody got to deviate from the norm -Rush

Barcelona won, 1-0, so i was happy. Real Madrid is Atletico's arch enemy. Don and i watched it at the flat of a friend of his. It was very animated between Barca and Real fans. It was fun.

Steven Jackson, RB for the Rams is a moose. Seattle is winning 17-10. I wouldn't let Jim Mora lead a girl scout troop, let alone an NFL team. Paul Allen, what were you thinking?

Seahawks went for it on 4th and centimeters and got it. Touchdown Forsett. Even when Jones, comes back, this dude will be the main RB.

I am tired. Twas a busy weekend. I love sleeping.

The Titans just went 99 yards and got a TD as time expired to beat the Cardinals. I hate the Cardinals.

Lunes

Back to work!

Clasico

This has all happened before, and it will happen again
-Battlestar Galactica (2009)

Today is el clasico between Real Madrid y Barcelona. Time stops in Espana when they play. I am still sorting out my room. Thing shave been so busy. End of the month now, so lots of admin. Thanksgiving at Cara's was great. Her metro stop is Delicias, like delicious. So i went to delicious for Thanksgiving. And as always, i carved the turkey. The band is going well. I've been adding some very challenging drum parts at their request. Out attempt to record failed again because of their shitty equipment, but we should get it done next time. The PA was shit and you couldn't hear the voice on a recording, which is kind of important. Got a lead on more students from a friend, which is cool. She was one of the crazies from the past. I think crazy women are stalking me. Help!

Happiness on the Road

Through stroby stations
Too fast to know their names
Too fast to know if we came or will come again

Sleeping towns joined together
By the steel of the rails
Parallel lines
Parallel lives
-Marillion

Happy Spanksgiving people!

Proof of lIfe

(picture proving to Mum i am alive)

Blame it on me
Blame it on me
We're all just sugar mice in the rain
-Marillion


All is well. Lots of classes today. Got home round 21:30 and i am beat after being at the concert late last night. I am about to cook the first steak on the BBQ in this house. Woo hoo! I have the window open in the kitchen and i can feel it from the sitting room.


00:18

Steaks were good. Yum! Now i will watch a TV Show on the Internet, hang the laundry, and then bed.

Here Again

And the best thing that you can do is take whatever comes to you
cuz time flies
-Porcupine Tree


i saw Porcupine Tree at the Riviera with Brian tonight, he's an Irish bloke. They rocked! Como siempre (like always). Everything else is fine. Working, living, etc. It's all good. Today was Monica's twenty-last birthday, so went to lunch at La Mucca, an incredible pizza place. To say the Seahawks suck doesn't quite capture the gravity of the situation.

Just another Martes

Laughing out loud with fear and hope
I've got a desperate plan
-Rush

Sitting in bed watching EXIT STAGE LEFT... on my computer, the hour long concert from the '82 movie that changed my life. I am in bed and comfy in my new home. Por fin! (finally!)

Spanish is getting better again finally. I just need to fire some extra neurotransmitters a second and i'll get a little more fluent.

Whenever I see this movie, i think of when i first heard Rush when i was in 8th grade! Joder, i am old.

What else? Frak it - life is finally calm for 8 seconds. I'll just enjoy it, like those freaks at the top of the screen.

back in the game

DOMINGO

Some of my stuff is put away. The bathroom is clean. Shirts are ironed. I stir fried some gambas (shrimp). Tomorrow I have 4½ hours of work from 13:00 until 19:30. My new place is closer to most of the places I work.

Woo hoo! Seahawks stop the cards on 4^th and goal! This is a must win and Julius Jones is out. They have had terrible trouble with injuries the last 2 years.

Housmanzadeh just caught a 68 yard pass. Yeah!

LUNES 00:17

The Cards are on the move. 17-10, Seahawks. Why is Kurt Warner always playing in the NFC West? Leave me alone, already.

Well, I met a girl in West Hollywood

I ain't naming names

She really worked me over good

She was just like Jesse James

She really worked me over good

She was a credit to her gender

She put me through some changes, Lord

Sort of like a Waring blender

-Warren Zevon

17-17.

Late third Q. I am in my home watching football. Yeah!!!! One of my favorite weekend things to do. That and jamming on Friday.

The Seahawks got romped. Life is a bitch sometimes. Adios Temporada 2009!

Got in about 21:00. New classes were great. Time to cook and eat and go to bed. I am unearthly tired. So much change so fast. All new Metro lines to take.

I have read two of the Sookie Stackhouse Novels, which TrueBlood is based on. Freaky, funny supernatural mysteries about vampires, shape-shifters, werewolves and crackers. I know all four of those groups.
