Ed: "Butter."
Alida: "YOUR FACE."
Alissa: "Jesus will satisfy you."
Y'all creep the shit out of me, you know that?
Here are some pictures!
Why is Alida wearing my clothes? I DON'T KNOW.
Stats from the breathalyzer! Ed's BAC: .22%. Nic: .21%! Dave: .08%, THE NEXT FUCKING MORNING.

fourth fifths of the engineering team in car accident, much yelping.

HERE'S A STORY ABOUT THURSDAY.
We were driving back from lunch in Brad's car when this fuck made an unprotected left turn in front of us. All of sudden the car is filled with smoke and air bags and bad smelling stuff. Sam lost his shoe for a little bit.
We get out and we're in the middle of a fucking intersection. I swear to God, the first thing I remember was this woman driving by slowly, saying, "You guys were in an accident!"
THANK YOU, MISS HELPER PERSON.
The driver of the van was this fat guy wearing the tshirt of a really bad 80s Marvel comic (I instantly hated him even more for this) and when I asked him if he was okay, he covered his face with his hands and his first words were, "I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING." He was that guy.
How do these people find me?
He then told us this could not happen at a worse time and that he was moving to South Dakota next Tuesday. "Not anymore, you aren't", was my response.
Before we parted ways, I looked down at his stupid Marvel Comics tshirt, looked back up at him, and said "Secret Wars sucked, by the way."
May not mean much to you, but for me, it was for the win.
So we move the car to the side of the road and we're standing there while Brad talks to his insurance company. Then, this guy in a clip on suit and tie (yes, a clip on suit) walks up and says "You guys were in the accident?" and I look at the fucked up car and say, "Well, we were in that fucked up car."
He hands me a card that says "Enterprise Rent A Car, Branch Manager" and says,"If you guys need a rental, I'll hook you up."
You don't get to be Branch Manager for nothing, I guess.
The boss now won't let us drive anywhere.
Hope you're all well.

Issue 5 of Slash Magazine is on newstands 03.01.2007.
It's appropriately titled "The Comeback Issue".
It includes more drivel from this writer. A piece I wrote in 2005 that I really barely remember. But still!
BUY IT.
I'll be more frequent with output. I promise.
I still love you. Really, I do.

The Family Christmas photos, 2006.
These were taken earlier this month. I'm still incredibly amused by how impressively broken my dog looks in these photos. For serious, I can't stop giggling whenever I look at them.
Did I mention that I quit O'Reilly a few months ago? I get to have conversations like this now:

I'll attempt to entertain again soon, I promise.

"What? Jennie, it's not my birthday."
We're more than a little hungover here at Ventura Way.
My mom is now trying to explain to my dad how the fanny pack she got him for Christmas isn't really a fanny pack. He's holding the phone pretty far away from his ear now.
Merry Christmas.

When announcing my phone's death to my parents, I really did not expect them to use it as a forum to give me shit.
And that's not even the really disturbing thing about this. "May" be their son? WTF?

Today's toll lady looked just like Noted Crazy Person Voodoo Minerva from Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
She eyed me and her only response was, "Boy."

This week, your local medical professional will tattoo little dots on my grandfather’s cancerous naughty bits.
Why?
So that during Chemo time fun time, they can find his cancerous naughty bits.
LITTLE DOTS.
WHISKY TANGO FOXTROT.
THAT DOESN’T EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE.
Every time my mother gives me an update on these items I start a fight.
Why?
Because I tirelessly contend that these people who are IN CHARGE OF MY GRANDPARENTS HEALTH did not even go to medical school.
Mom doesn’t like that.
In other news, my cream cheese was frozen this morning.
Which do you think I’m more pissed about?

So my grandfather has the upcoming pleasure of going to chemotherapy five days a week. For something like three months.
OH THIS IS GREAT NEWS.
My grandmother was on the every other week plan for her chemotherapy. She pretty much failed chemo by almost dying.
So hopefully grandpa will fare better.
My grandmother has yet to retake her chemo, by the way. Her and I share a bond, because I never retook that art history class I failed.
Don’t you judge me.

It is my birthday this Saturday, May the thirteenth, two thousand of the six!
I pay no attention to these things.
There is nothing you can do about this, because I do what I want.
Yes, you and I are going to play together. You will make a margarita in my mouth.
Much like year the last, I do not know where.
OF COURSE YOU WILL BE AMONG THE FIRST TO KNOW.
FOR THE LOVE.
Bring your ATM card.
