~~~SANDBOX 77~~~

it's really useful for making sure that you have exactly half an ounce of...food!

When I am backpacking, I prepackage my food by weight. For example, for breakfast I eat exactly 150 grams of granola to which I add 15 grams of non-fat dry milk, which I have stored in... (wait for it)... a Ziploc bag! This makes it easier to ensure I get adequate calories, while not having to carry excess food weight.

I admit this makes me very strange.

A police officer would consider possessing a gram scale to be incontrovertible evidence of drug dealing, cuz that's how the police think.

I was wondering yesterday why my weed paraphernalia (huh! I did not know that word had an "r" in it!) has become so available in my neighborhood over the last year. Two new "smoke shops" (not head shops - they're not psychedelic and they sell mostly smoking devices and some tobacco) have opened within a few blocks of my home, and a couple of convenience stores opened, which also sell a variety of bongs, pipes, etc.

We're sort of close to DePaul Univ., but it's not a college hood. It's more just yupppie area/Boystown runoff. It seems odd that we've gotten at least 4 new sources of bongs. On top of a couple that were already here.

They seem to be run by swarthy people, so maybe they are legitimately tobacco pipes.

A friend who was doing Weight Watchers has a gram scale.

For her weed.

^smoking tobacco

- just cleaned EVERYTHING in the apt
- feelin' pretty good

you could even use those scales to weigh drugs.

- Sitting here in yesterday's boxer briefs, covered in a fleece blanket
- Ain't done shit today
- It's 2:51 and cloudy, which means it will be dusk in 30 minutes, and dark in 45.

Not complaining about my laziness, but definitely complaining about the fucking eternal dusk.

i went through all of my timeline earlier today and selectively hid things. surprisingly, it didn't take me nearly as long as i thought it would! i've been using facebook more heavily the past 2 months than i ever have, and i guess i forgot that though i've been on it since 2007, i used to post just like one or two things a month, tops.

I came across Skate Bush too on tumblr today, and frankly, I'm surprised there wasn't a chillwave band called Skate Bush already

-most of our income currently comes from scrap metal scrounged from around our property

-gotten some callbacks/emailbacks from jobs but no interviews

-right now, we're ignoring AMC, drinking bourbon-and-cokes, and watching Salty's paws and eyelids quiver as he dreams.

beautiful jack gilbert poems that never were ^^^^
hope it picks up re: jobs, christine

- tried to be an adult and rode my bike down to the coffeeshop for an evening of coffee+book
- coffeeshop has some sort of marketplace event going on, $18 soap and $35 journals with custom covers
- back home, guess i'm going to put on Revolution Dub and maybe eat some chips and salsa
- failed at being an adult

Don't worry, I failed at being an adult more times than you could ever imagine.

i can imagine very large numbers

*updates resume with that*

our senior number imaginer just walked out on the job and a very important project is due in less than week. what should we do?!

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41zkRjmI19L._SL500_AA300_.jpg

oh here, i'll do it for you. during the briefing, just say "i don't think i need to spell it out for you, people - the numbers have been altered significantly this quarter, exceeding expectations, for better or for worse. this is going to be big. i think the numbers speak for themselves, so let's go ahead and move on to next steps, action items, and of course, monitoring progress."

"and of course we'll be gathering meeting minutes and sending them around afterwards - that's an action item for me! ahahahaha! yes! aaaahahaha YES, just another day in the office, making decisions!"

then laugh maniacally

great... you're hired!

Do you folks need a tea lady or professional yes-woman or anything? I can start working two minutes ago, and bring my own typing paper.

sounds like a job for Office Cat!

-forgot to take my lithium last night, am currently a quivering paranoid mess. I also have a cold.

-met with brother-in-law, gave him his mail in exchange for $20 and a bag of fresh vegetables, something he complained about giving us even though it was his idea in the first place. (The last time he bought food for us, it was one of those boxes that you buy at the grocery store so that you can drop them off at the food bank.)

-hugging little Pepper, which always makes me feel somewhat better.

"are we, or are we not... A COMPANY"

LOL a friend of mine works at the Lush store in the city and she just posted a photo of herself, just chillin, as you do, with Amanda Fckin Palmer and Neil Gaiman. Yeah just another day on the retail chalkface...

- tomorrow evening i am going to look more dapper than i have ever looked in my life
- critical background info: i'm going to a hair salon tonight for my first real haircut in 8 years (my ex cut my hair for the last several years). and i'm buying a nice suit tomorrow after work, in preparation for...
- job interview, chicago, this thursday!
- getting there with 2 days notice is extremely inconvenient, but i'm glad i'm doing it because the person who's interviewing me (and who would also be my boss) said that since i'm making the "extra effort" to come in person, he'd like me to meet various people on the project team after the interview "if i have time"
- FUCK YEAH i have time

- oh, forgot to circle back to the dapper-ness. why will i look esp. dapper tomorrow evening? because, uh, i will have the new haircut and new suit, and will probably stand in front of a mirror at home and try to be dapper for a minute or two

oh btw i got dumped
