eep and roll.

So lately i have been holed up in my apartment. i pry myself out for work and the occasional club siting, but mostly i stay in. I don’t mind too much. i do mind missing concerts though. and i have found that i continually miss concerts. last night i missed the killers, the other day [...]

i got up late today. it was a bummer. I did na mean to. but I kept
having WEIRD dreams about doing menial tasks at work. so nerve
wrecking. they were stressful dreams. not as awesome as other dreams.
and my eyes are sleepy. and I am hungry. and and andlast night
we went to the science and industry museum - it was closed. suxor.
hah.  so I think I am going to go tomorrow with h…

heh.

i have accidently slept every night until about 1 for the past 3 days. I come home from work and “read” a book and then wake up in the middle of the night. tonight I caught myself and woke up at 11:45. wheee.i am reading these insane fantasy novels that matiss lent me. I don’t usually like fantasy nobels - however these are incredible. they are called the “vlad taltos” books - the first …

he does stuff

so I have been reading the rabbit series of books by john updike. they are pretty good. I started with “rabbit redux” and just finished “rabbit, run” last night. after I finished “rabbit, run” I immediately started “rabbit is rich.” anyway. I have been thinking about rabbit and what I like/dislike about him in these books. well I don’t really like him in “rabbit, run” - I think he is obviously t…

i suppose i will continue

on where I left off just a second ago. so anyawy. this weekend was a lot of fun. I did a little bit of christmas shopping - got soem gift0rs for my peeps and my family. stupid money. why is all this shit so expensive. I would elaborate - but that might give away some of the oh so secret secrets I have. and their are many. so many it hurts inside. this weekend I did a lot of ran…

my room is a mess

seriously. it is a crazy mess. it just exploded the other day and I haven’t had a chance or …

lalala. connect the dots.

this morning I woke up early. like 7:00. I was having a dream wher ei was invader zim and I was able to time travel (a combination of the two things I did last night between 2:30am and 4:00am). it ruled. I just buzzed around and had time traveling problems. I am currently reading this book by authur c clarke. it rules. I forgot what it is called. I have not bothered to look at the titles of the l…

heh. yea so my friends have “caught” me. busted for sure:

[@vanwinkle] is harper giving up blogging?
[clock] yeah I think so its been forever
[@vanwinkle] whatever happened to three post per day minumum?
[@scottv] he got a job

So basically I have been just chilling out hard. not doig anything. I get home…

my eyes are dripping tiredness

however, I don’t feel very tired. I really don’t understand how it is that I am able to lead this weird dual life. my friend adam equated it to the original mods from the 50s and 60s. he said they used to have normal jobs(working 9-5) and look like business people - then after work they would transform into these fashion seeking scene people. right after my friend adam told me this he started s…

THEY LIVE again. for the second time.

last night was pretty fun. I hung out with hannah. we went to the faint. but first I slept until 8. rule. I love naps. I nede to eat better and sleep better. that is the way to the future. anyway. I hung out with hannah and we saw the faint. it was pretty good. tv on the radio ruled me.
