Blog of Billy

Ok, ok, so you've been busy. How are we readers to know without updates? :-P I kid, I hope you enjoy your free time and trip to Paris.

Keep good notes on Paris, for I am extremely jealous.

so, this is totally off topic, but i thought it might be useful for all of the pretentious kid/thinker/tinkerers who read the amazing comments on your blog.

its hot. like hot hot potato hot. like Thai food in Portland extra extra spicy hot.

we pondered the other day: "is it rude to compliment our Thai water on their tie?" --:> nope

Drink a glass of wine for me in Paris, my friend- it is good that Doug shall soon have his own corner. Doug needs this corner, I feel.

Interesting article on the state of global communism in The Economist this week, you should take a read if you're in B&N anytime soon.

You know, I've looked top-right and bottom-right. I've looked at the top left and, even, despite my deep moral aversions, the top right. But it seems Doug still lacks a corner. This should be fixed.

Where is he, anyways? He should have posted by now. Doug, where are you?

yes, matt, it has been too long.

hello all.

services have been small and excellent the last few weeks and i am saddened to say may not happen this week. two major staples will relocate services to some sports cafe on the eiffel tower while sipping wine and teaching parisian girls the most holy of 8 word litanies.

i shall be out of town myself this week and might be back in town for the game, but i'm not sure if i really want to have another week of drinking by myself.

tonight (tuesday) i leave for dallas at 9pm. yukiko and i shall spend the next couple of days at my sister's appt. we shall have a grand time... until i have to see the rest of my relatives.

billy happens to be afraid of carwashes. i, on the other hand, am deathly afraid of my family and have had panic attacks when being in large groups of them. i am not sure what this phobia is called but i am sure that i have it.

it would be a joyus day if someone else were to host services somewhere in the metro, but that is rather dubious. i may have to go bug jessiki's dad on saturday.

oh, off subject, but i had the craziest dream about patty the other night. he and i were working at a warehouse and decided to pull a trick on them (i can't remember the trick). turns out this warehouse was a bank and we ended up being bank robbers. so we make our escape through about 100 backyards and the craziest stuff happens. i remember one back yard specifically being a moat with vines and tree roots in it. we come to someone's house and patty goes inside, but for some reason he no longer has any clothes on. he lures a lady outside and begins to flirt with her while he sits in one of her lawn chairs. i wake up thoroughly confused.

i saw a picture of snow in which someone had peed a message of self adulation and it made me think that matt should do something similar in the sand (and maybe about how iraq sucks).

sadly i must get back to work,

"and the winding vines
the pretty boys dive
and thru the pinhole stars
into the shadow mind
you will lose him then
on some gentle dawn
this boy is here and gone

you love him..."

matt,

i checked with mr. robert and have recieved 2 packages thus far. i am not sure what is in them or how many packages i am supposed to recieve. good news is that i have atleast some of everyone's christmas presents if not all of them. when i get off work i shall tell you if everything is accounted for.

everyone else,

holy shitsteak we're in. well, the big12 championship is saturday sometime and i'm sure i'll be watching it. billy/patty should be back from their trip and i am guessing that the 3 of us will watch it together. anyone else who is interested should give me a call.

the good news is i applied to ou in time to enroll for spring semester. the bad news is they haven't gotten back to me. i was told that i meet all the requirements to get back in easily all i needed to do was to give them $50 that i didn't have at the time. well, i later applied and gave them their $40 (because the person who told me $50 was a liar) and assumed everything was "cool." now i have to track someone down at the school and have them tell me if i have been admitted or not so i can enroll before all the friggin classes are full. why do they make it more difficult than it has to be for me to give them money?

back to the grind,
-doug

I feel like a trip to Paris is worthy of an update...
