POWER FAILURE!

August is a bitchy hot month here. With no electricity, a dying cell battery, and too much free time on my hands, I flip out.

Test the water...

Amazing, the sky opened up as I walked inside...Good timing. Love those little moments.

----------------------------

Maybe I can finally get out of this city again come August. Only need to shuffle some vacation weeks around and we'll see. Chicago might be blazing hot but hella worth it or so I tell myself. Also wanna patch some bullshit I left dying(a friendship?) on the floor last year. Too late? Might be.

The dream:

Rent car

Drive to Chicago

See X JAPAN(they play Rusty Nail)

Mend some wounds(maybe over a slice from Lou Malnati's)

See D'espairsRay(they play Tainted World)

Hit up Lou's again

Drive home(without incurring any traffic citations)

The Actuality:

???

====================

Finally got some eyeglasses from this century and left my decaying specs to rust away until Manson tours again. Some debacle always happens during this period. Ah, to look this good...

The President said "..know whose ass to kick" and Darla Jaye is all up in arms. I love listening to her run her fucking mouth.

every night we are nailed into place and

    every night we just can't seem to     

ever remember the reason why

Hey, Old Man Winter! IT'S SPRING!!!

Just when I thought it was all said and done, I noticed this snow removal truck in the back of the store on a lovely 60°+ Friday afternoon.

WHAT THE....

================================================

On lock-down in the bunker with plenty of fluids, ER episodes, GoW3 and a bonus size bottle of Jergens. Who's set?

Streetcar Flashback

What is going on here? Why is there a streetcar blocking traffic on my block?!

Loving this sleet-fest the city's having today.

Slipping and sliding for some great eats!

Poncho's has the best fast Mexican food in midtown, hand's down. Their carne asada burrito is killer.

Nice sunset

I was busy reading when I heard Maria complaining about the satellite going out. I am a weather nut so I knew it had to be raining. I ran to the back of the house to check out the action. In the backyard everything was looking pretty normal. I had to see what the front looked like so I raised the garage door...to a killer sunset.

Storm a brewin'

 

Today starts my vacation. The weather outside puts me in a good mood. Leaving the windows open this night.

Don't rob me.
