nervous

i'm nervous as FUCK! I have 9 interviews scheduled beginning this Friday for a week in San FRan and Portland! Shout to Stink and Mec for letting us crash their next week when we visit Frisco....so nervous...one of my interviews is even at this lady's house for brunch on Sunday with her family! Mel's coming too....so nervous....

unwind time in vegas should be all that though afterwards!!!

late.

Thanks to Grant for pointing this awesome Mark Morford column out about the death of the american city and cookie cutter chain stores/restaurant-lined strip malls all across the country...

Bring out yer dead - plague is already here....

Birds

Damn, the birds ate a dillz last night...

Tizzle?

word, Tim T's coming back to Philly? That sucks...right as I'm bouncing...I was hoping for the BBR reunion!

sunday

it's hot as balls in my apartment today...seriously, i highly recommend NOT ever living in a third floor apartment....heat truly does rise and it seems like all the heat in philadelphia got together and decided to rise into my apartment for a cocktail party...even in our room with the AC, it's burning...i think the heat this weekend picked up some kryptonite and is using it against my AC....

on another note, mel's mom stopped by and brought us som tum and bbq chicken and sticky rice and thai bef jerky and then some bubble tea and coconut rice too...saved us...

might meet my cousins jill and pablo for a quick drink tonight, they're in town....entourage is on though...

bj dissed me twice now to go looking for tuxes. punk.

saw wedding crashers yesterday...pure comedy...fucking hilarious..vince vaughn really is king of this shit and will farrel tears it up too with a quick roll on the ground so damn funny cameo...

i suck at pool.

good bye.

oh, flickr is a dope site.

alex

look at my cousin alex, he's the fucking man, chillin with wes craven and reese witherspoon in LA..getting flown around the county for 96.5...

wow...

my friend and client, dave robinson from philly's recycling office, was fired effective immediately and is being indicted for misuse of $13,000 of the city's money to throw a retirement party for his boss. thing is, this was in 2000 when he first started the new job and his boss told him to do it... furthermore, he's a good guy and i'm all choked up today... man...the inquirer wrote a good article but the daily painted him like such a dick...
