Back from Las Vegas -- An extended stay of 3 days that would have sufficed at 2 days. Pictures were taken, but it will take years to post, as I live in the dark ages and am one of the few who do not own a digital camera. Won $500. Lost $500. Ate a footlong chili cheese dog as the sun came up. Drunkenly. (Goes without saying). Noone in their right mind would do that sober. The dog was the only way I could complete myself after losing money and half of my liver.

We all have a French policeman inside of us

Wiley, Tamara, Josh, Ginger, and I exploded 8 pounds of ground beef with M-60s and Black Cats. I know it's retarded, but I feel a sense of accomplishment. Partially because the 45 minute ride to escape the illegal use of fireworks in Austin led us to an open train track outside of Elgin. After riding around for nearly an hour, we defeated what Wiley termed, "fiasco status". This journey was best completed with a barbecue feast at Meyer's Elgin BBQ.

For some unknown reason, I ate BBQ the following day with friends at the Salt Lick. I'm surprised I haven't broken my stomach.

Saw The Fall last weekend. Mark E. Smith sat behind a desk with 2 microphones.

This is either truly brilliant, or something to commit suicide to.

I'm behind on the news these days.

INVASION OF THE WILD BOAR

Trying to quit smoking. Again. Ever hear of a drug called Inversine? It was used originally in the mid-20th century to treat high-blood pressure. It's been adapted recently to treat Tourette Syndrome. The possiblities are growing: now it's nicotine and alcoholism. From my limited understanding, it blocks the receptors which put one on edge when craving a cigarette. This sounds great. I'd like to see if I could shut those receptors off when I walk in a bar, though.

Fear!

Work take soul, make fear! Run, hide, BEWARE!
