If you haven't seen it, my LJ ROLL CALL is up to nearly 400 comments.

If you HAVE seen it, go check in again and groove on the awesome people. You'll find some great talent and great folks.

If you HAVEN'T commented...

WHAT THE SHIT?! GO MAKE YOUR MARK!!
So...

Hanging out with friends is always fun.

Chinese food with friends is always fun, especially when there are twenty-five Chinese people having a holiday party in the restaurant, complete with loads of booze and about thirty-five toasts.

Even bad movies can be fun when seen with friends who have a big desire to see the movie.

That having been said...

IF YOU SEE ERAGON, I WILL BREAK YOUR FUCKING KNEES.

This has been a Public Service Announcement on behalf of YOUR FUCKING KNEES.
Last  night  was Saganaki Night at the Stone household. Only made THREE, but it was enough.

I learned the Magical Secrets of  Saganaki years ago while working at Mykonos. Remember my hook-hand story?
I also took all of the late Constantine "Taki" Iatropoulos's greek records when the restaurant closed, so I was playing them for the presentations.

I used Kasseri and Kofalotiri cheese and breaded them and properly spiced them and brandied them and lit them on fire.

Speaking of lit, holy crap were most of us drunk. I didn't hit DRUNK, I just wandered around the border of drunk and Drunk.

But it was fabulous, and we ate fruit and vegetables and GODDAMNED FRIED CHEESE.

Fun with Molly, Jake, and [profile] sarahsam, with whom I suspect I was separated at birth, or somesuch ridiculously cool brainwave-connection...thing.

All of them are made of awesome, and much geeking-out was done.

To reiterate: people kick ass and CHEESE on FIRE.

What my desk area looks like right now, sans laptop.
Loads of toys, books, and original art on the walls.
Ask questions about things that look interesting / omgwtfbbq.




Yeah, I forgot to take a picture of the center of the toys. Maybe I'll fix that after 5pm.

Not interested so much in the pictures?

Then go FUCK WITH MY ART already!

And thank you for your support.

Last night I slept for just over 9 hours for the first time in about 9 months.

This was after Sara and I had margaritas and tacos and the like at Real Hacienda for [livejournal.com profile] rinifer's birthday, with her boi [livejournal.com profile] helpful_ninja, and [livejournal.com profile] nhyrvana and [livejournal.com profile] aingealfael and [livejournal.com profile] yowzer and [livejournal.com profile] citrinepoint and [livejournal.com profile] jourjour and [livejournal.com profile] ladyhawk22 and Scott M. and more people who will be pissy because I forgot their LJ names.

Apologies for my journal being vaguely uninteresting lately.

Most of my recent writing has been proprietary (Shonen Jump articles, Last Shot with Karl Bryhn, another Sekrit Projekt), so I haven't had much to put here.

I'll write you something today.
Would you like that?

Good.

Now go brush your teeth, your breath smells you've been eating dead opossums. Again.

It's been a while since I submitted anything to Espresso Stories...

Get to it.

How fuckredible is it that I have friends like [livejournal.com profile] nhyrvana to call me and make sure I know it's snowing, since they know that I love it so much?

Then again, she's biased. After all, last winter I made a phone post that she turned into a smooth techno song.

At work, wanting to write, ready to listen to "Ridiculously Beautiful" by DJ Evily feat. benjamin sTone on my iPod.

            Brilliantly fucked-up day today.

            Started with breakfast at 7:30am. Who the hell is up at 7:30 am, and who is up early enough to go OUT for BREAKFAST?  Kate and Staci and their twins, Kaia and Madeline is the correct answer. Ate, went to Farmer’s Market, bought lots of veggies.

             Sara and I met with brother Matthew and his boy, Todd, in Mattoon, Illinois, where they were having their Sesquicentennial Celebration. Watch firemen fuck up cars with The Jaws of Life and something we called The Wedgie of Death.

             Because I have no sense of shame or embarrassment, spontaneously entered pie-eating contest. Did not win. Am expecting photos from Matthew later. Afterwards, washed face in train station bathroom. Did not use bar of soap provided, as it appeared to have a black pubic hair on it.

             Earlier today, received [livejournal.com profile] chuckdawg's entry into my second FUCK WITH MY ART command.

             I left the art in its original container, because it’s even more The Awesome that way.

             CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO BE TAKEN TO THE FUCK WITH MY ART ENTRY. Make sure you read all of the comments, as they’re awesome.

            People who participated:[livejournal.com profile] mujina, [livejournal.com profile] khamsin, [livejournal.com profile] sasquatchdjh, [livejournal.com profile] neodymium155, [livejournal.com profile] groundbyground, [livejournal.com profile] xanthvamp, [livejournal.com profile] initiations, [livejournal.com profile] pensylvania_joe, [livejournal.com profile] chuckdawg, and [livejournal.com profile] bookmancu.

            You guys make me happy.
