It’s Out There

by

I tend to hop around and use a different computer at work each day. One of the previous computers that I’ve used was being used today by another guy, Jason. He knows Mark from the Fear and Loathing installment a few weeks ago. He discovered the journal. So now, a good number of people in … Read more

Fear and Loathing in Clear Lake

by

This one’s a doozie, don’t tread past the cut unless you’ve got some time to read.

Christmas night I went up to the Continental Club for the Handsomes show. It was crazy packed sold out, and understaffed. Luckily, they don’t have much material, so it was only about an hour of insane crush.

I was out till 2 a.m., had to work the next day. Slept till 8am, after hitting the snooze a few times. Stopped at the Fiesta for some lunch snacks, and the feed store for some dog food (empty bowl when I left the house).

Got in about 9:15 am. None of the doors were opened. Walked two blocks to Market Square, used the pay phone “local calls 50¢” to make a call to an 832 cell phone that was two blocks away, which is, of course, long distance, “4 minutes for a $1”. All I needed was 20 seconds.

A long day

by

Too much Jagermeister is bad for the body,… but I get ahead of myself.

I started early sunday at my sister’s opening presents with the nieces and my dad and step-mom and step-sis. Then the two older nieces, dad, and grand-dad went to the Texans game.

After a long saturday, I was more in the mood to hang out with my sister than to do legal work, so I hung out with her and watched the game on TV.

The Continental Club employee party was held starting in the evening in the new bar. Pete and Jack had been mopping and decorating for days, and it looked GREAT! It was so great to see people drinking at the bar and flowing through the space, even without the patio, which will be a great part of it. I can’t wait to get it open.
