Ricky should've been eliminated, even though his teammate was a textbook example of a passive-aggressive bitch. His designs just don't do it for me.

Project Runway has become the only show I watch with any regularity now, which makes me wonder a tiny bit about my heterosexuality. But it's so bitchy. It's hilarious!

I came home tonight to yet another leak in my apartment, This time it is in my kitchen. I am glad I noticed it, because it had not been going on for very long when I got home. If it had gone unnoticed for a longer time, I am sure it would have been a lot messier than it was.

I have a milk can collecting the drip, and a ladder (the leak is located above my kitchen cabinets, so I had to climb up to clean it/put a collection vessel up there) in front of my sink so I don't forget to empty it in the morning.

I hope my upstairs neighbor sees the note I left her, and calls my super, so he can fix the pipe under her sink that he suspects is causing it.

At least he came up to fix the toilet today, so I can actually fall asleep tonight.

Last night I was introduced to the instrument the cymbalom.
By introduced I mean had a crash course in how to set it up, tune it, and how heavy it is to carry.
Then a Hungarian man sat at it and played it for 90 mins and my tiny mind imploded in on itself.
These things are unbelievable:

See for yourself!

That is one sexy bitch. I am deeply envious.

That's about as smart as I can be at this time of the morning.

What did that set you back?

He didn't buy it, a guy was performing on one with the "rock" band A Hawk and a Hacksaw. And he was mindblowingly good. Mind fucking blowing.

Less envious now.

i liked the fact that he would keep looking over to us, pull a 'check my shit out' face and then play something extra nutso.

good times

The Cymbalom looks like a tamed beast, needing to be played by a beast.

Man some of the youtube vids are crazy. There is one with a guy that looks like he has super long fingernails, but then again, they kinda look fake.

This one:

2 flats? No problem. Keep this stuff in your car. Saved me once. Never drive without it.

Yeah, that shit would've worked great on two-inch gashes. Not to mention the hole in my wheel.

THANKS A LOT AL

I am so tired that if someone walked in to my office right now and announced, "Simmo! we have a warm kingsize double bed outside that we need you to try out for the next three hours!" I would undoubtedly cry tears of happiness.

If I got to the bed and it had the added bonus of my girlfriend being inside - well, I'm not a religious man, but I'd thank the Lord for his gift to me.

If I got to the bed and found GJHardwick in it, leafing through his "magazine collection" - even in these circumstances, I'd think "fuck it" and occupy a small corner as far away from him as possible before slipping in to a state of blissful rest.

Beds.

God I love them.

I'm thinking about going and having a nap in the post room.



In other news, last night I discovered that two of the weirdest people I know are now a couple. A couple of weirdos, more like. I have a slight sense of trepidation about future social gatherings.... the words "gruesome" and "twosome" spring to mind.
