Day 873 of 365 Again. Steph and I spent a quiet New Years at home this year playing games and watching the ball drop on TV and sharing a bottle of champagne. Not the most exciting way to ring in the year maybe, but you can’t beat the company. And it was damn cold outside,…

Day 872 of 365 Again. The year is ending and everything is winding down. I don’t have a terrible amount of energy. Mostly I’m just worn out. Having two weeks in a row where I don’t have to work the entire week is kinda nice, but I just know that next week is gonna kick…

Day 871 of 365 Again. Well, it’s been a while since I did one of these. Kind of nice. It feels like I’m back to being me. Today it was back to work for another toiling 2.5 day work week. Half a day on Wednesday, Thursday is a holiday and I’m taking Friday off. Still,…

Day 870 of 365 Again. I guess the year is really ending. This is the end of my last weekend of 2008, and tomorrow it’s back to work. *sigh* It didn’t really kick in for me til I was working on getting tomorrow’s Cosmic Hellcats posted. I was kinda disappointed that not that many people…

Day 869 of 365 Again. Regular viewers of my photostream will realize that like my mother I have kind of a penchant for funny insulting t-shirts. The nice thing about being on vacation is that I can wear them without repercussion. They’re not really work appropriate. One day, I will be retired from the whole…

Day 868 of 365 Again. I took the day off from work today. Oh I so needed that. Christmas is over, but I hadn’t really had time to rest yet. So today I just slept in. Steph and I didn’t do much today. Hung out. Watched TV. She played the video game I bought her…

Day 867 of 365 Again. Merry Christmas! Guess what I got? My camcorder had been acting up a bit lately. it worked, but it wasn’t great. And to be fair, it was actually kinda old. So I’d been wanting a new one. Steph got me this HD one this year. Yay!!! I sort of wish…

Day 866 of 365 Again. Yes, Flickr, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be…

Day 865 of 365 Again. Yeah yeah yeah… I know… two lame hand pics in a row. But it was a long day. I went out and finished the last of my Christmas shopping. Then Steph and I spent the night wrapping everything. Then I even got a little work done on the next Hellcats,…

Day 864 of 365 Again. You know, sometimes I kinda wonder about what happens to me at night. I don’t remember cutting myself yesterday. I don’t remember getting up in the middle of the night and slicing my palm open. I don’t think Stephanie secretly carves away at me while I’m sleeping. But this morning,…

Day 863 of 365 Again. Damn it’s cold outside. I actually thought about going out today. Maybe taking a picture outside. Doing something more interesting than I had been doing. Fuck that. It’s currently 8 degrees here in Pittsburgh, with an overnight low of 5 degrees. The windchill is -20. I might climb into my…

Day 862 of 365 Again. It’s been a couple months since I did wrestling commentary. I just keep end up being busy on the days that IWC has shows, but I decided to go down tonight and "lend my voice towards making their DVDs watchable" as one of my commentary partners, J. Worthington Farnsworth says.…

Day 861 of 365 Again. Christmas shopping is tiring. I’m almost done though. I can’t really say I hate Christmas shopping, because I don’t. In fact, I kinda like the whole process. I just don’t like the mad rush at the end, where you’re trying to make sure you have everything and trying to get…

12-18-08

Day 860 of 365 Again. Why do I hate people? Oh that’s right, because people fucking suck. The photography studio I subcontracted to a few weeks ago is now refusing to pay me. Their claim is that my work was below their standards. I disagree, but really that doesn’t even matter. There was no agreement…

Day 859 of 365 Again. This drive stuff is driving me crazy. That might have been a funny language construct if I wasn’t so tired of all of this. Eh… maybe not Still not much better off than I was, and I’m starting to think this is pretty much as good as I’m going to…
