I set my clock wrong and woke up an hour early today. Go me. I wanted to get in early anyways so I can get to west chester before tonight at Vincents.
Anyways, over the weekend and I went out. So on friday when I ran out for wine, I had a talk with boris about his accommodations. We agreed to part ways and I put him in the lawn. With the spider gone, the wife was no longer afraid of the jeep.
This morning, what do I see but a web on my drivers side door. And who do I see while driving down church road? Boris. He’s back. I’ll try and get a picture. He hides when I open/close the door.

Its been a while since I was out drinking with friends, swayed perilously and declared my love of Kat in a drunken slur. At least when people do impressions of me, its me being drunk and overly affectionate to Kat instead of me being drunk and a jackass.
Yesterday I had a little black storm cloud over my head. I’m not even sure why. I was just in a shit mood all day. I came home grumpy and more or less kept to myself.
Kat went out and got a bottle of wine which I completely bogarted then followed it up with a fairly large shot of absinthe. I think she had 1 small glass of the pinot grigio.
I wound up unwinding by by wrecking shit in WoW. My mage is a weapon of mass destruction. In every battle I was in the top tier, if not first place, for the number of kills.
At any rate, the destruction lightened my mood and by the time I went to bed I no longer wanted to murder the world. So, I’m sorry wifepants. I’ll be less of a shit today.
This morning my drivers side door had a giant spider web on it again. Evidently Boris isn’t going away. He was clinging to the side mirror checking out church road on my way to work this morning. He’s been making a web that spans the drivers side door every night all week.
I also figured out why I can see the web, but no spider every morning. He hides out in the bolt hole on the bottom of the mirror post. He’s pretty big too. Probably just under the size of a quarter. I’ve decided not to kill him. He has too much character. I’ll probably just evict him into the bushes if he bothers me.
Ever see a spider try and repair a web at 45mph? Its pretty amusing actually. And the little bastard holds on pretty tight. I keep expecting him to blow off and he consistently doesn’t.

I can’t get this stupid song out of my head….
Place the piston down,
Now give the gun a spin.
Soon as the spinning stops,
Oh no, the game starts in.
A hateful way of vengeance,
A bit of playful sin.
Load another bullet,
Now the second round begins.
A couple grains of powder,
A couple grams of lead.
A touch against the trigger,
A touch inside the head.
Take another drink, and
Raise the last bets.
Think about my last words,
They might be what I just said.
A click comes from the hammer,
That couldn’t drive a nail.
Sense the numbing cold blue,
Or the red of Hades’ grill.
A fraction of a second,
Do you lose, or maybe still,
Pass it to the left,
And collect your mighty kill.
The only thing that sucks about a successful suicide attempt is that you can only do it once. Death is one of those things that I obsess over. I kinda itch to see what its like. I just want a peek. Curiosity, as they say, killed the cat. There’s just so many flavors and you only get to choose one.
Then again, the universal consciousness gets to experience them all through each of us along with every moment of every other form of existence. That’d be a hell of a ride. On a long enough timeline life and death would lose all meaning. At some point you stop seeing individual grains of sand and start seeing a single beach….
And there are people who think there’s a sane higher power…. hah!

I finally got around to setting up a completely sealed cyrus mail server. No longer do mail accounts == system accounts.
Now I can look at the fancy new access control lists on mailboxes and kat & I can start doing stuff with shared folders.
I must say, I rather like the new setup. Cyrus is nice because it has a much more efficient mail storage format than courier did. Large mailboxes are faster to search, read and update.

in a short while, I’ll be our sole income for a while. I’m terrified at the all eggs in one basket thing, yet happy that I can offer Kat support while she sorts things out.

Mere words can’t do this justice. This has to be seen, and the drop in IQ felt, to be appreciated.
Metalocalypse-Extended Version.
The tivo lies quietly in wait…. Bets on if it lasts a whole season?

I haven’t played my ps2 in… a really long time. Mainly because I don’t want to take over the living room on Kat for hours and hours. So now I’m thinking since my only computer is a laptop and I can easily undock it, I want to hook up my ps2 to my LCD and pc speakers. I’ll need an rca to stereo jack adapter for sound, but what about video? Has anyone done this? Ideas? I’m just starting to look around for the adapters I’ll need.

I’m all out of coffee from Cafe Du Monde. This saddens me, I’ve developed quite a taste for it. I suppose I’ll have to mail order more since I’ve never seen it up here. It took me a while to figure out how to make correctly, but once I did… yum…
I think I just want to go back to New Orleans with Kat again. It was so much fun there.

Anyone feel like going to west chester on the 21st? A friend of mine’s band is playing at Rex’s. Sean Yseult, formerly of white zombie will be there too with her new band Rock City Morgue as well. If my brother isn’t passing through that night, I’ll probably go.
On august 15th Venom is playing at the troc. I had no idea they were even together anymore. Part of me wants to go since it’ll be a total riot to watch aging rock dudes doing the old school heavy metal devil band thing.
