Month: December 2000

  • dear 2000

    last letter of the year Dear Year 2000, Thank God you’re almost over. You were hardest, worst, most incredibly painful year I’ve ever had. Starting from day one when I had bronchitis, followed by quitting smoking, followed by cedar fever and the start of the worst personal pain I’ve ever been in in my entire…

  • weezer countdown

    just a few hours left I’m really just killing time, now. I’m sorta pretending this is New Year’s Eve, as I really don’t have any great plans for tomorrow yet. We’ll think of something. But for right now, Rivers Cuomo better kiss me at midnight. I’m also hiding from email. Apparently the Austin American Statesman…

  • Al Went Home for the Holidays

    and all I got was this lousy guest entry Y’all, I was in the car for 12 hours yesterday. Creeping across the Southeast in the rain, ice, sleet and snow, just like the US Postal Service, except I’m fairly certain no postman, even on his longest route would ever dream of putting on a performance…

  • More LA Talk

    what makes me laugh It occurs to me that I haven’t mentioned that I got to meet and hang out with stee’s sister recently. She is very much the coolest. I wish she didn’t live so far away. I think if The Coffee Bean ever wanted to start a cult I’d make a damn fine…

  • the first christmas

    the first christmas

    success and turkey Reason #903 to keep a journal: You nice people sent me cards and presents and made me feel less alone this holiday. Thanks for that. One of the best gifts we got this year was from Eric’s mom: a digital camera attachment for the Visor Handspring. You just hold up your Handspring…

  • not a creature was stirring

    well, except for a couple Reason #759 to keep a journal: You never know when you’re going to stick in someone’s head. Yesterday morning I got an email from Athena. She wanted to know if I was serious about looking for a Playstation 2. Turns out she had been on a couple of waiting lists…

  • food fight

    a world of cooks in my kitchen So, this is interesting. I have found out that if you look pathetic and lonely you get all sorts of cooking advice. Keep that in mind for the future, people. It’s quite handy. I have seen the panic in people’s eyes when I say, “Yeah, I don’t know.…

  • Dear Santa

    hope it’s not too late Dear Santa, I almost didn’t write to you this year. It’s not that I’ve been particularly naughty or anything, it’s just that I wasn’t feeling particularly Christmas-y this year. You see, every year in my entire life I’ve spent Christmas Day with my family. And this year, I can’t do…

  • Paper Trail

    Paper Trail

    out of control. I spent all day finishing up my recap for Gilmore Girls, which is up. If you hate waiting around to read about notification on the new Gilmores here, you can always sign up for the mailing list at MBTV. Then I did some phone calls, had lunch/dinner, had more phone calls, opened…

  • Ticketmaster

    but i did it It’s not that I didn’t want to write an entry. It’s more like I couldn’t. I’ve been in line for the past almost four hours. But I did it. I got weezer tickets.
