i wish i were anne hathaway

i just realized, i think, i think i haven't blacked out in 2009. even if that's not completely true, i know i haven't in a long time. now that i've gotten into a slight routine again in chicago, i probably drink most days, but only a few, or one, which i had a hard time doing in the past. i had 5 pints and a shot last night, and i was good; after seeing a show at quenchers i went home and didn't finish the torpedo ipa in the fridge, or hit the garbage vodka. (i know, 'garbage vodka' could use some explanation, but that deserves it's very own blog entry, which i will do sometime soon). i feel good now, and am ready for a long day at work. i'm doing a demo at the south loop whole foods, biking there because the weather is lovingly overcast, and then closing up the handlebar before opening it on sunday and hopefully hanging out with keith whilst attending the division street musicfest. nonetheless.

this may just be the year of the white-out.

cubs are losing in the 7th

this is an email to dani, subject of "life", body as follows:

"i think i've spent the last many years thinking i know what sex is, and what communication is, and i really don't. thanks for understanding. i texted kathy (woman who traded me for the this american life ticket) and said thanks for the offer, but i'm now watching it on tv, and i was with friends. she responded with:

"Hey, no problem! i tried everyone i could think of. turned out that my prom date's little brother & his friends...i went to prom in 1991. Ha!"

due to the lack of cohesion and punctuation, i assume she's as drunk as i am. at least. but i got the point, right? funny connection, though. you are sweet to say what you said. quenchers on friday? xo,

matt"

Green Airplanes

I spent all day yesterday working for upton's naturals; did i mention i love that company? i helped them to set up for the chicago greenfest at navy pier, and i'd love to be working there this weekend but, instead, i'm off to arizona, soon. phoenix on saturday, or tucson, then wedding in tucson on sunday, caleb, a friend from high school and early college. monday morning we're all going from flagstaff to the creek and you (yes, YOU) should fucking go, too. prescott on monday afternoon and night, then flying back on tuesday. get to see the winders, too. i'm so happy about that. live in chicago. though.

on a lighter note of internet conversation:
1) when did beeteedubs as a BTW replacement become so fucking widespread??? fuck
2) russ coined "chillaxitude" as yet another modern meme, so please look for it in this weeks episode of 'saturday night live'
3) the 'teamster 2-hand' in regards to hand-jobs
4) blogs as conduit for social wankery
