Corinna just went to bed, and I’m not tired yet so I figured that I would hang out and update this thing… It takes me long enough on this tiny keyboard, so maybe i’ll be tired by the time I’m done.

Our time in VT was awesome… Just a very laid back weekend chillin’, hot tubbin’, and relaxin’. We got back in Boston this afternoon and coco took me to see “School of Rock”, which was good (but I’m a sucker for Jack Black). We did some chore shopping (food, etc.) and settled in to watch “Outside Providence”, which I had never heard of but turned out to be decent. Alec Baldwin turned in a really surprising performance.

I also watched “Grosse Point Blank” again for the first time since it’s release. I didn’t like it the first time around, but I wanted to give it a 2nd chance cuz everyone I know loves it. This time, I didn’t dislike it, but I feel it took way too long to work up a head of steam.

Tomorrow’s plan is to get together w/ adam and carlos for lunch.. Then tomorrow night I will play some poker and hopefully break even or come away with someone else’s money… I have a pretty good track record with doing this, but things in general have been running brown for me for awhile now so I wouldn’t be surprised if poker followed suit.

I don’t mean to sound whiny, because that’s not the case… I’m just feeling a little beat down lately, that’s all. Being back here with corinna has definitely helped, but I am still broke and still need a job.

Fuck it, something’s gotta work out soon, right?

I can’t believe I get full service in bumblefuck vermont, but not in my house in NJ.

I am hanging out at ’s place in anticipation for our weekend getaway tomorrow. We are going to spend Friday to Monday in Killington relaxing and eating cheese. She just went to bed but my schedule is a little different these days..

When I get back to boston on monday I am going to stick around for awhile so I can attend the poker game on tuesday. The boys are trying to get me to go to the halloween party in Ithaca next weekend but unless one of them can give me and coco a lift there I won’t be going…

Sorry I haven’t updated this thing lately, I guess I have been fighting off a general apathy that has tended to distract me from lots of stuff lately. I did manage to update the renovations gallery just now, so perhaps I am winning the war.. :)

Rochester was lots of fun, and FUMN was a success from all accounts. As usual, there seemed to be grumblings from a person or two that it wasn’t “fucked up” enough for them. These people just don’t get the whole point of FUMN… Anyway, this FUMN consisted of:

1. Cannibal Ferox (a.k.a. “Make Them Die Slowly”)
2. The ABC’s of Sex Education for Trainable Persons
3. Tetsuo: The Ironman
4. The Toxic Avenger II
5. Eraserhead

I am hanging out in the CSH User Center in anticipation of this evenings FUMN extravaganza. Admitedly, each time I come back to floor it gets weirder and weirder as I recognize fewer and fewer people. I have been introducing myself to members who already know me from last year or earlier. I’m having more and more difficult of a time recognizing the faces here… They all seem so young and I feel so old. There was a 90s party at Art House last night and I was just too fucked up by that conceptually that I couldn’t even think of attending… I mean, really, what’s next? Nine Inch Nails on Classic Rock stations?

Last night I hung out on floor for awhile and then there was a fire alarm, so we decided to move our late-night Nick’s run up to around 9pm… After yummy, glorious Nick’s, I went to Jen & Ben’s for some drunken debauchery. I am regretting these decisions today, as my head throbs…

So it’s FUMN tonight, I’m going to crash on a couch here on floor, and then tomorrow I am going to make my way back to NJ. I am going to stop by Syracuse to see on the way back…

I’m heading off to Rochester now…. I should arrive around 5:30-6pm (possibly a little sooner), and will be going straight to CSH. I want Nick’s tonight, so anyone interested should plan on heading out around 10ish.

Last night Chuck and I went over to play Monopoly with Jenn and Martin around 10pm. We didn’t leave until after 2am, and we only played one game. What made it worse is that Chuck and I busted out at around hour one, so we just sat around spectating the droll give and take of Jenn and Martin’s game. Things got pretty heated between them, and I really think they should have just packed it in early and taken a draw or something… There seemed to be some serious hate by the end of the game….

I have 3 poker DVD’s created now….. I have one DVD with the last four episodes of the 2003 World Series of Poker (no commercials) made, and two more discs, each with two episodes of the World Poker Tour (no commercials). I would have the entire WSOP on DVD, but the Tivo borked on Episode 1, so I have to wait till it is rerun until I can burn that DVD.

I have started a photo diary of the renovations going on here at the house. There is a separate diary for the Master Bathroom, Main Bathroom, and the Kitchen I will be updating them daily-ish, and I will try to mention the updates here.

I’m not a big Dune fan, but I generally understand this sentiment.
