Robert: "...almost nothing important that ever happens to you happens because you engineer it. Destiny has no beeper; destiny always leans trenchcoated out of an alley with some sort of Psst..." - Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace. 1. I dare you to put on Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder and still be in such a bad mood. Remember how i said that you should make me sing "Rio" if we were ever together doing karaoke? Well I've added another song to that list and it's Sir Fucking Duke. Woohoo! 2. So, I've been temping the fast few days, and since they are short concise assignments, I haven't figured out a clever way to sneak onto the internet yet. Best that I don't, I suppose. God forbid a Domino's Pizza gets away with a free yellow pages ad. 3. If anyone from my temp agency is reading this, keep in mind that this isn't really Bob, it's his alter ego, Pumpkin. 4. Trenchcoated destiny has just coagulated in the wondrous form of an iPod and played me two Rufus Wainwright songs in a row! Hot. 5. Yes, what you have heard is true. Our March guitar player is a generous chap by the name of Sean O'Brien. Apparently there has been discussion as to the lack of pictures of Sean on the internet. The elusive. Actually, there now is one floating around of him in a jeep in a Hawaii with a coconut drink in his hand. As soon as I find it, I'll link er up. It's a shame we didn't snap a photo of him getting in trouble for swinging the mic during a karaoke rendition of "Rock and Roll" by Led Zeppelin. February 25, 2002
Robert: Hello everybody i'm just sitting around late night watching the cat push around a drum stick it's freezing cold outside and i've got the heat pumpin out a temperate seventy flipping two and there's a vent right below this desk so i'm feeling pretty toasty and i've said it before nothing's gonna change my world still a kid at heart but adult in a few important ways i guess for instance i'm working on this new thing called a thick skin it was pretty much nonexistent in the olden days i had some real issues a particular instance comes to mind when i spilled some soda on a friends' atari 2600 and his dad bitched me out in front of a bunch of people i think i ruined their activision decathalon game but who gives a flying funk cause that game is outsville you couldn't pay someone to take that off your hands mint condition with instruction booklet with slight water damage from that flooding basement with the ugly foam ceiling now that i mention it i busted out one of those basement lights as i was sweeping the floor purely accidental you understand but at the exact moment that our new neighbors decided to drop by but whatever these are only things that haunt every now and again one of the aformentioned adult qualities is being able to accept all of the dumb things you did as a kid learning from them so that every day you wake up knowing a little bit more about how to make the day a bit more enjoyable a bit more suited to your kind of fun a bit more challenging and so tomorrow morning i'll wake up most likely by cat alarm or both and say alright now it doesn't matter what gets thrown at me today i can take it i'm a tough kid and i've seen a lot bucko so don't even try it i get like this sometimes when i've been working all day on stupid shite case in point i temped today spent six dull hours on the phone getting people to rsvp to some gala event tomorrow the worst part is that as soon as i took a look at the list of numbers i realized that i'd have to really improvise to stretch it to six hours it really wasn't hard i just hate bugging people these are people a little overqualified at being adults they are way past the thick skin threshold they have learned a little too much maybe or could it be that they haven't grown up fully we'll never know and neither will they i suppose i feel very sorry for them and i wonder at what point in their adolescence did they choose this path or was it the path that chose them at a time when they were too young to resist who knows i'll say it again we'll never know and neither will they i suppose just like old times i took a nap when i got home i was so exhausted my eyes hurt from the glasses and my stomach hurt from a suspect vegetarian burrito i picked up at a local taqueria all i wanted to do was forget about everything and dream 2 hours worth before roommate music and cat meow and here's something funny i had a great Japan dream yesterday we were in the airport and i realized that i forgot my passport and todd was dressed in full drag i have no idea what this means at all but i spent a good amount of time driving around tokyo trying to find an atm that would cut me some yen so i could replace my passport it's a sad state when the dreams outcool the reality but that's all going to change soon i tell you what we're playing shows again for the whole month of march and i am so energized and excited i can't control myself look at me smiling what a dork things are looking up things are turning around is everything here connected the candle and the flame my mouse pad has a picture of the pogues on it it was an excellent gift from todd way back in nineteen ninety something the pogues kicked shane macgowan out of the band right around the time that he fell out of the bus after a mad drinking binge now they're back on tour with him even though i hear that he only sings 3 songs at a time and then goes backstage to rest and spider and the boys play some tunes i was this close to seeing joe strummer with the pogues when they came through chicago at the vic damn that would have been nice i love me some shane but talk about a burst of energy you see now i love me some joe strummer i have been tring to download the song gangsterville yeah i've been downloading a few songs a day yesterday it was that song from snatch called don't you just know it and also the boys are back in town by the cardigans hot damn well i'm going to clean my room right about now it needs it i have another day of phone calling in store for tomorrow so i best rest the eyes and the cords i hope you are smiling that's really all i hope to help with this round.
Robert: The temp place comes through again, and I'm up early on a Monday. Up to the North Shore this time for some (yawn) phone work. I'll tell you how it grows. |
