This Space For Rent

I don’t really have any reason to use that title. It’s just a great line, and an important one to remember.

Life continues apace. Utilikilts is treating me very well. We’ve been renovating the store, which is almost complete. The constant chaos was starting to get to everyone. Soon the all-Mac computer system will be up and running, and then life will truly be good again. Actually, life will truly be good when I hit my three month anniversary and start getting cheap kilts. I only get four a year at half-price, so no I won’t get you a discount.

I’m sure no one is surprised to learn that I really don’t wear pants any more. I do on the bike, but i change immediately when I get home. I always knew the kilt-life must be possible. So very comfortable…

Still seeing Janeil, the Stranger Personals girl. She kicks ass. If you don’t believe me, ask Austin. The three of us went drinking, and it was a blast. I’m seeing her again tomorrow night. Woo! Ellie, the 19 year old, is kind of wearing thin. She’s hella cool, but my social life revolves around the bar far too much to date a youngin’. It’s a shame, but it’s true.

In the news:

So, the US Supreme Court has backed doctor-assisted suicide in Oregon. Good for them, and for us.

Wilson Pickett is dead at 64. He is traveling to the Land of 1000 Dances, riding shotgun with Mustang Sally. In [this] Midnight Hour, I will raise a beer to “Wicked” Pickett.

Anyway. I need some good boots to go with the kilts, and I’m thinking of getting some of these tanker boots. They look pretty cool, and are just different enough without being overly flashy.

(While searching for the last link, I found this. Teh funnay!)

Right. One last link, then bed time. I’m aquatinted with a woman I know as Moneyjane from www.monkeyfilter.com. She is a self-employed, high-class, professional prostitute in Vancouver, Canada. Her blog, although a bit dry lately, can be very interesting at times. And she squeezes a good tit shot in there now and then.

Anyway. Bed time again. That seems to happen more and more these days.

Yawn.

This is seriously the best blonde joke ever. It made me laugh right out loud. I hope you do too.

…women, that is.

My date with Ellie went swimmingly, with large amounts of walking ending at my place in the wee morning. Delightful. We’re going out again next weekend.

PLUS, this girl replied to my personal, and we’re meeting for drinks on Thursday evening. She seems pretty cool, at least over email. We’ll see.

Never really dated more than one person at a time before. Should be interesting. Ellie made it quite clear that she isn’t interested in a serious relationship, which is fine. I’d be down if she was, but I’m not going to waste my time pining away. Rather I’ll enjoy her excellent personality, and keep my options open.

Woo! Look at me. Lady’s man, man’s man, man about town.

(insert smooth funk track here)

Right then. Work is good. It never stops raining here. I knew that before I moved here, but damn! Good thing I’m not the depressive type.

Right then. Almost bed time.

I really want a SPEC.-OPS.® TAC-TIE™ - WORLD’S 1ST LOAD BEARING NECKTIE. Totally sweet.

Funny Shit!

Right. Been a while, so here’s a quick update.

Giftmas was mostly me alone at my house drinking mimosas. Not nearly as depressing as it sounds. I’m not big into the whole give-presents-to-celebrate-Jesus’s-birth-even-though-he-was-born-in-summer thing, so whatever.

New Years was FUCKING GREAT. Schwartz and Mark Peterson were in town, and we partied like muthafuckin’ rockstars. Austin was also there, as was Jen. Good people and great times. A certain dark-skinned homie of mine got some crazy bootie, and I slept through an all-night afterparty at my house. So yes, good times.

The Utilikilts quarterly employee meeting was recently. We discussed the finances and inner workings of the store, where we are going, and what the future holds. Then we bowled like crazy. Only my boss would have an open tab at the bar for anyone wearing a kilt. And I got a big-ass giftmas bonus. w00t!

Tore the store to little pieces and put it back together. Lots of work, and we’re not done yet. But it looks awesome. Oh, and Austin got a job working Saturdays there, too. Moscow is rolling up in there! They already go to Tye Dye Everything for their tye dye work. Small Pacific Northwest, I guess.

Got a cute girl’s number today. She ordered a kilt about a month ago, we flirted, and she left. She came back, we flirted more, and she pointed out that I have her phone number and I should use it.

(pimp music standby…GO)

Anyway. Here is your happy link for the day. Ron English is really fucking cool. Check out his galleries, and read the NYT article about his guerilla billboard campaign. Love it.
