Cool shit!!

This was the view atop the Westin Atlanta Sundial Bar, eqipped with rotating floor, sweet chairs, sweet views, pricey cocktails, and overdressed tourists. I drank budlite and wore jeans and a smelly tanktop i'd been sweating in all day, ya know, keepin it super classy in super classy surroundings. If you ever go to the ATL stay in this hotel because it's crazy cool.

Rainbow Connection

My office lost power for a couple hours yesterday during this crazy
thunderboomer. I got stuck being make believe computer geek for a long
time making sure the network, servers, towers, bloop bloops, and bleep
bleeps were all doing whatever they normally do without electrical
disturbances. Wow long sentence.

I guess it made sense that this gigantic rainbow made all that hard
work worthwhile. Not really, but I haven't seen a rainbow in a long
time and it always reminds me of that song "Rainbow connection" and
that reminds me of this band I liked from Boston that covered it and
that reminds me that I love Boston.

3 weeks away!!!

Wow I won a jackpot on penny machines! Crazy shit, spent 10 bucks -
left with A whole lots more. The first time winning anything over
20bucks. Yessssssss! I hate gambling, but winning unexpectedly with pennies is pretty sweet.

what if it was you hanging up on this wall?

disclaimer: this was back in early spring late one night after live muzac, carting drunk friends for their 3am mcgreasy fix. 2 trick-ass high school girls thought i was yelling at them to turn their shitty muzac down, but in fact i was yelling at my 3 wasted friends who thought it'd be hilarious to blast poppy-shit-country radio in my car while i was pumping gas. the girls later followed us to McDonalds to stick up their middle fingers yet again to me and then they might have said something else. Jesse caught my response on video of me attempting to keep the peace and the rest is pretty obvious


i never saw that filet-o-fish commercial until i saw it on youtube on my iphone. the timing was uncanny. later we learned it costs 11 cents for sweet and sour sauce (per package) if you don't order chickennuggets. we wanted 9 packs of sauce and we ended up making 4-cents on the whole deal. what's this world coming to where you can't dip your fries in complementary sauces besides ketchup?!?!? what's next, charging extra for crappy 3m service?




don't mind Will, every time he gets wasted he insists on talking like a redneck, it's a great measurement of sobriety when it comes time to drive home.

how to keep your pockets hefty and your jeans tight

(Cheif Shadowcrotch was a big inspiration from what i can remember of that night)

I've been busy, and i guess a little too busy. I work a lot of hours and no matter how much coffee i drink i don't have enough hours in the day to get to do everything i really want to do. I suppose that means I should probably be doing something else. . . . . . . and i've been looking around feverishly for whatever that something else might be. In the interim i realize that maybe i need to start some trouble for a little bit, cut back on work hours, and spend more time and money on doing whatever the hell i feel like and uh deal with the possibility of repercussions later. . . .

on that note, the other night we met up with some new faces from nyc for this cover band, turned out they had the night off, bleh. So we all decided to move to different locations all night and kapow!! ended up at the casino at 4am for some food and some laughs. Sometimes Kristen gives me weird looks when i do things out in public, it's ok, i think she laughed a couple times, either with or at me. SUCCESS!!

here's some pics of some of the events that made us chuckle

Parting ways

Dear Mr. Gallbladder,

There has been some changes inside you and I don't feel like we can share the same company anymore. I have no use for you and frankly, you make me sick. I think it's time we part ways.

Most sincerely,
Mia


p.s. I hope there will be no hard feelings if someday real soon you are in a jar on my bookshelf.

BOOTY!!

I guess i've been catching up with nostalgic times? Today I finally went to the local drive-in movie sunday flea market site i surprisingly have never been to. Pretty shocking for those of you who know my random obsessions with even more random crap. It was everything i thought it would be, minus the inexpensive silly t-shirts i hoped to find and butcher to my wearable liking. That was honestly a little disappointing because i like t-shirts, especially reject t-shirts with visuals or verbage that often tickles my sense of humor. Instead i had a bunch of laughs about random objects people were trying to resell for example: 1/2 a pair of ski boots, a box of "sterile" surgical blades from the 1960's (that were opened), a fancy deck of cards in a box without the deck of cards, ben affleck dvds, oh the list goes on.



But who knew you could find pirate treasure at the local flea market.....


One person's trash is my pirate love! Holy crap, pirate tea sets? This calls for a pirate tea party or a party with alcohol and guests can either dress in pirate garb or powdered wigs. Pretty dope if you ask me. I may have to go to more of these crapfests to find more of these hilarious mugs.

Surprisingly enough there were a few items i totally would have picked up had i not spent my 5-dollar limit: 50 vinyl LP's from the 1980's, a special collecter's item X-Files Barbie 2-pack of Moulder and Scully -totally would have grabbed this but somehow 8 bucks was still a rip-off for 2 barbies that looked nothing like the actors. Oh muppet juice glasses were pretty rad and hmm not much else.
