Wednesday, August 24, 2005 Once I get you up there
In the brilliant comic Life in Hell, Matt Groening has a strip called "What's your deal?" about the bargains people make with themselves to get through the day. I have so many deals. I am a used car salesman. I am a horsetrader. One sweet little arrangement I've had going for the past couple weeks is this: If I keep it together and keep going to work and going out to socialize, then I don't have to clean the house. It is a terrible deal. I walked down this morning and was like, "When did we get a gravel kitchen....oh, God."
You've got to admit, though, I've been holding up my end of the bargain. Last night Tracy and I took Bus Challenge to get to the blogger happy hour, and because every bus schedule, route map, and destination indicator in this town is a GODDAMNED LIE, we arrived after the hour was no longer technically happy. The bloggers were, though! They are nice people, and they enjoy time spent in bars. I know things about them, they know things about me. I think I told them that next time we would have it at my place. I stayed and stayed, and when it was time to leave, I joined the splinter group going elseswhere to harass a man from the internet that I had never met. In his workplace, no less. Do we fuck around? Why, no! (We do not.)
