That's incentive

I was contemplating the logistics of locking up house and going to Friday's to get tanked. I don't think my boss would like that, although he didn't stick around to close himself because right now he is getting drunk. Chris (hereafter referred to as Tool) isn't here because he is getting drunk. Danny Mac who is supposed to be here is being responsible and working and then going back to pacify the closet monster. However if he wasn't entrapped as he is I believe he would also be getting drunk. Closet monster's are tough work. The Entrapment reference is funny because Catherine Zeta-Jones is also the T-Mobile spokesperson. Laugh. Laugh or I'll kick you in the balls.

The car hunt has ended. I'm escorting the van to Stoughton tomorrow and returning with a 94 Mazda Protege that I pulled in for around $300. Not a bad deal.

I picked up a few cd's used today including Say Hi to Your Mom because they are fucking excellent. I also grabbed the Day at the Fair cd. I had no intention of doing so but flipping through the liner notes I realized they threw out a "thanks" to my good friend Chris from the defunct/reformed/renamed (should be, in any case) Start From Scratch. Had to show some support. Chris and SFS are both MySpaceable so for those with the savvy knowhow- go for it. For those not in the knowhow- it's tough. (Chris is on my Top 8)

I finished the Fight Club ripoff book a couple days back. It got worse. They basically recreated everything from Project Mayhem to the taking of the peon's wallet to try and help him get a better life. I enjoyed the book but it was hard to take it seriously with that shit going on and it really didn't have much of an ending. And not in a hip "we don't need a fucking ending" way. More of a "I can't really think of a clever twist" way instead. C'mon, that's not hard to do. Polar Bears! Throw in Polar Bears! They won't expect that shit.

I started on Eggers' You Shall Know Our Velocity! now. It's as good as I've been expecting, and both main characters are from the greater Milwaukee area so they keep name-dropping the shit out of Wisconsin. I did dig the "last week I got my ass beat in front of a storage shed in Oconomowoc" bit.

Tool should be working right now. And I just wrote that so I could make good on my promise to refer to dude as Tool for the rest of this. Speaking of which- Tool IS having a Halloween Party next Saturday. Should be good times. I'm going to go as a guy who steals kegs. It'll be hilarious until I don't turn the car around.
