Great day yesterday. I'm embarrassed to say how much I spent but I went to Fanboy [comic convention] in Knoxville. Parking and the ticket alone were enough to blow my budget. I scored some neat Silver Age comics but the highlight was meeting and getting a fist bump from William Shatner and sitting next to Nichelle Nichols and having my picture taken with her. Both signed pics for me. Nichols signed one of her and Kirk getting ready to kiss the first interracial smooch on tv and Shatner signed a pic from his Twilight Zone appearance in "The Gremlin on the Wing" He signed it "There's something on the wing" for me. Really cool friendly dude. Nichols was super gracious and friendly. What a treat to meet them. I've never been a celebrity hound but yesterday was a once in a lifetime chance for me. Other celebs there were Barbara Eden, Lea Thompson, Catherine Bach, Dawn Wells, Tom Wopat, Dean Caine, Verne Troyer, Ric Flair, Kevin Nash and a slew of others I can't recall right now. AWESOME FUCKING DAY.

Sometimes that isn't a bad thing. Nurses & doctors refer to pneumonia as an old man's best friend simply because it's a relatively painless way to pass.

Been trying to make my own eggsy McMuffins using the ring part of a Mason jar lid in a nonstick skillet. I guess you're sposed to poke the yolks once with a fork after you pour them into the ring so they'll cook flat. I haven't quite worked it out yet as the eggs keep sticking to the ring and won't come free cleanly.

This strikes me as an appalling and grotesque investment of one's time. And I call of from work to get drunk and masturbate regularly.

Funeral - Couple bucks under $10k

Glad I had the cash on hand. You old timers in the audience, get yer pneumonia vaccine. Think ya just got a cough for a day and a half, then yer dead.

I was in Monroe, LA last weekend. I hope never to pass through again.

paid $654 in property taxes. for the year.

My last impulse buy was the bio-pic of Leadbelly starring TC from Magnum PI. Got it for a buck ninety-nine while waiting on line in Pathmark, which went bankrupt about a year ago.

Good luck with the treatments, Brutha.

You gonna eat that expired yogurt, Alex, or are you feeding it to Babushka in order to expedite your inheritance?

I'm gonna eat a 4oz cup of yogurt for 12 days.

In addition to the trimming of nostril hairs for the dancers I shave the base of my dick and my scrotum with a disposable razor just in case one of them says "What the hell. Get it out. You're cute." But the problem is this way of shaving carelessly leaves tiny wounds that look suspicious and infected so even if I am allowed to get it out I will no doubt be demanded to put it right back in even though I'm not contagious.
