• Vick-Vapo-Rubz
• Hott Toddy
• Robo Tussin
• Heat Pad
• Electric Blanket (or Elec-Rick Blanket)
• Salty Gargle
• Expectorant
• Lubenz (i don't really get this one)

Current Music: soft location

Mccain and Clinton in the final round, Mccain to win, because America is full of dumbfucks.

personal life to get even more boring this year due to having to work. time for hobbies also to take a hit.

us economy will be ok, in general.

hand-pulled chinese noodles to replace vietnamese sandwiches as cool cheap food of 2008 (ramen to ride out it's current popularity then to fade around early March).

i'll be in detroit from 2/15 to 2/18. hopefully it won't be cold.

i walk by this building every day at work. on my way down the street for a meeting and there were like 20 fire trucks and people looking up in to the sky. see the pics:

these are the coolest. i wish my feet were wide enough to wear them.

coming home from the 22nd to the 30th. anyone want to go to the awesome color show in detroit on the 29th?

does anyone want to buy a copy of Leopard? i bought a family 5-pack and i have two extra copies to sell. email me or something.

issues 20 and 21 now online.

tomorrow i get groceries delivered to my house. bad experience at the apple store today. eating out a lot.

a cat farted on me today

oh, and i forgot. even though i don't really like gambling, i recently discovered that i like going to the track. consider these advantages over other forms of gambling (or even entertainment in general):

the people are super fucking weird. there are animals around. you can eat a$2.99 steak on Monday nights (Dante and i were prepared for the worst steak ever, but it was actually good. plus $1 sides!). you are outside. the horses have funny names...

where to start. i'm moving to New York this Thursday. flying in and staying at a hotel on the companies for a little bit while looking for an apartment. i start on Monday, agh! it's going to be pretty crazy week (moving/apartment search/new job), but i'm used to living out a suitcase. i am so excited about eventually having an apartment. it's been 6 months. i feel like a hobo entering retirement.

what else. car got broken in to over the weekend and dudes took a decent chunk of my work clothes. if you see some homeless dudes in a size 11.5 BCBG velcro strap gray and black shoes, give me a hollar. i'm going to miss my summer style. you could describe it as "ship-wrecked mechanic": no shower look with a sweaty t-shirt and cut off work work shorts. say hello to sweaters and collar shirts! trying to look professional without looking like a banana republic douche is the new near-thirty challenge.

this all feels a little strange. i don't want to leave Detroit, the fam, my friends or my girlfriend, but this job is something that i just couldn't do in the midwest. looking forward to seeing everyone in New York again. ah, bittersweet! sorry i didn't get to see everyone before leaving or get everyone together or whatever. i'll be back soon on a weekend to move my stuff.

if anyone is in Detroit on Saturday, the UM Detroit Center Gallery is finally opening. it was an interior renovation project that i worked on at my last office. directions here, 6-9.

so it looks like i will be taking a job in New York. it starts soon and they want me there by the 1st. agh! i'm starting to freak out. excited to see everyone again, but a bit ambivalent about being back in the city. i was kind of hoping to check out California for a spell and i still like Detroit. whatever though. it will be fun. i'm going to miss Leah a lot. we are going to work something out.

does anyone know of any places available? i'm looking at Long Island City currently, but i'm open to Brooklyn too. rents have like seriously doubled since 2000. i might just move all my stuff out to new york and put it in storage then search for apartments while starting the job.

below are some of the gems that i have dug up on craigslist this week. (hint: if you are looking for cheap and interesting places to live, add the word "hot plate" to your search.)

alright, i just booked a last minute flight to New York flying out tomorrow afternoon then leaving next wed. i have in interview in Soho on Friday. anyone around this weekend?

just nice little weekend in the UP. i never thought i would like it up there, but it was gorgeous. supposed to be doing some interviews this week. one in New York and one in Northville.
