i gave up my very first email address today. looking back it’s been a fun 8 years. it’s been that long, i got that account when one of the first commercial isps in this country opened, it came with my dialup account. when i gave up the account, i had it the email address transferred to a friend’s dialup account, but now he’s gone and the account is being cleaned up. sigh.
the isp wont give me email alone and an address that’s been around so long generates a massive amount of spam, so it’s with a heavish heart i bed farewell to an era.
the exhaustion is here big time, i had a nap earlier, but that was like an appetiser before a starving man, it was just a tease. the only reason i got out the bed was talk to vic and at least send a draft to my client in kz.
i’m going to get this done and get to bed, before midnight hopefully. adieu.

oh, im done. time to go home, i should stay and finish this, but im not feeling too. im actually realising that my intolerance for dairy is coming back in a frenzy, that ice cream is really not sitting well. bleech.
ill be back later. arent i always?
my boss is sitting at my computer (well her computer that i use in the office) making text changes to the layouts, giving me a much need chance to relax.
it’s strange after that primary bout of complete exhaustion this morning, i don’t feel any worse for wear and tonight looks like another long one, not as long as the last three, but i have to finish some other layouts to send to khazakstan.
i had so many things on my mind before i sat down here and prepared to post, but now my brain has kind of shut down, i just want to talk to vic until it’s time for me to go home.
i’ll be back later. no question about it, js is like crack, got to have it.
adeiu
and what the fuck am i doing in the office so early.
the answer is perfectly simple, the meaning is clear… just don’t disappear, don’t disappear (sorry the song just popped into my head unbidden…) i’m here to finish up the artwork for the campaign, i am flat on my face tired and if i’d stayed home i’d just stay in bed.
i’m waiting for the supermarket downstairs to get some fruit and some water. trying to see how long i can do this before having to resort to the liquid crack.
ok, time for me to do what i came to do
3:47 am. thursday morning (22 days and counting) i finally fucking finshed. now i’m so wired i can’t sleep. what’s interesting is that i haven’t had any caffine.

bondage
What’s YOUR sexual fetish?
brought to you by Quizilla
(what i’d really like to have my mistress tie me to the bed and fuck me silly, although that would mean no sleep, but i would definitely love to be awake for those purpose)
i have a bunch of questionnaires that i’ve appropriated from a number of blogs, but i’m starting to feel that need for sleep.
so thank you and good night or good morning or even good afternoon depending on your location on the globe.

i have gotten a chance to shit sideways all afternoon, my boss has been on me like a tick about the campaign in the office, meaning i haven’t gotten any pages done. i’m trying to get out of here at 4:30 on the dot to make my other meeting then head down to the guardian to at least drop of the first set of pages.
i really hope and get a whole night’s sleep tonight. back to the grind. ciao.
when you’re so tired you’re almost exuberant, because you’re just running on sheer adrenaline? that’s where i am now. but i know how exhausted i am, i left the page plan for the second set of pages, which in terms of sheet stupidity, is monumental.
what does this mean exactly? it means i haven’t been able to do jack shit about it all morning, so i’m heading home as soon as i’m assured that the first set of pages is safely emailed and then work balls to the wall on that and finishing up a campaign that needs to be proofed this afternoon to go out for prints tomorrow. all of this before my 3:30 meeting with a new client to win a contract to service their machines. i can only hope the rush holds.
ok, the file is sent, i’m off to save the world.
it’s 8am, i’ve had a total of 7 hours sleep over the last two day, today is going to be really pleasant at work. i can tell.
i’ve finished one of the supplements, i was starting to make stupid mistakes on the other when i called it a night. and with it due for midday today, i’m going to have to do some serious multi-tasking in the office today. this is all going to be worth it.
23 days. i can sleep sometime before vic gets here. although when we’re together, sleep seems like the last thing on our minds and we don’t miss it either.
got to get going. i’ll be back when i’m done.
i’m getting ready to build 28 pages for 2 newspaper supplements for tomorrow. i’m going to be up for a while. i figure if i get going now, i can get a second wind around midnight. i’ve got 8 hours of pop music cued up. this is going to be such fun.
in the mean time i’m going to post a bunch of links and although i was going save this for friday but you only live once, i’m sure i’ll find another five for friday. thank you eternalfool:
1. You have to engage in a dirty threesome with one celebrity of the same sex and one of the opposite sex. Choose your ideal peeps.
ewan mcgregor and angela bassett
2. What celebrity has popped up most frequently in your masturbation fantasies, past or present?
honestly none. i had to think about my first answer a really long time.
3. Would you fuck comedian Sarah Silverman?
yep
4. How about Jon Stewart?
oh hell yes
5. If you fucked a major celebrity (one night, no strings attached) and the Enquirer offered you $1,000,000 to supply some details of the tryst, would you do it
nope. not built that way.
whew, got that out of the way, now some news and entertainments:
this history of organised crime in nyc (really cool link for you crime buffs and vic if they ever do a city about ny), it’s really well designed too (i’m trolling for ideas for the site that i’m supposed to be working on…)
long bets is “an arena for competitve, accountable predictions” ie giving you an opportunity to put yout money where you mouth is.
an interesting catch-22 about google and it’s addition to our lexicon.
and it’s tuesday, so you know that means new dan savage at the village voice
moving quickly along, it’s almost an hour since i started this meaning i haven’t started work yet…
z list star (and i use the word star losely) blog (ok he uses a mac, running at least 10.2.5 and he’s using ichat a/v, so that will move him up the list to ‘j’ or something)
a useful roundup of links about the supreme court decision on library internet filtering
and we’re walking, and we’re walking, til we get to our final exhibit, your moment of zen
ok, all my text is here, no more posts til i’m done at least the first 8 pages. ciao.
