going pastal

Sorry for the bad pun of a title, but my body feels like a wet noodle right now. If wet noodles felt achey and I tend towards bad puns when I'm feeling low.

Oh, who am I kidding? Good or bad, I love a pun!

Had a wonderful weekend catching up with some old college friends in New York and New Jersey, but am now feeling rather sickly. Totally worth it, but I think I'd better go take a nap.

r.i.p. zip

Today I said goodbye to Zip. He's been with me since Scree and I parted ways 9 years ago. Scree and I had an uneasy bond. Never sure that we could trust each other.

With Zip it was different. We were solid. Got to know each other over a typically horrid New Enland winter and then packed up for the west coast. He took me all the way across the country carrying just about everything I owned, and then suffered patiently through the indignities of San Francisco street parking without complaining once. The past year was hard. We knew his time was coming, and I don't blame him for finally conking out. I'm just grateful that he stuck around as long as he could.

I'll miss him.

the rest of it

Back at work and not enjoying it very much, so I'll take the opportunity to turn away from the several hundred e-mails during lunch and blog instead.

Had a great vacation, but it turned out being a bit emotional as well...always is when I'm visiting family and friends who I don't get to see often enough.

Things we got to do that I'm very happy about:

See both M and K's new places and actually meet the mysterious Marco.

See Dude and T's new place, which is very envy inducing.

Had a very nice brunch with the family organized by Dad which allowed us to see some folks we would have otherwise missed. (thanks!)

Had a very drunk night with Dude and T during which we sang Christmas carols and grooved to a variety of other fun tunes. Though my memories of the night are somewhat blurred, they are some of my favorites from the vaca.

Spent some final hours down at Maalox Manor. I didn't really need to go inside to say goodbye, but I sure won't regret making the trip once the place is no longer part of the family.

Managed to get in a game of Candy Land with e and stayed up talking with M until the early hours of the morning. Wish it could've been longer!

G and I had very smooth trips to the airport both coming and going. Yay us!

Things I missed:

Getting to see TnT.
Getting to see BG.
Getting to see J and C.
Getting to see MJ.
Getting to see....etc.

But I need to get over it. I'm only one person and it's supposed to be a vacation for both myself and G. If I'd tried to squish anything else in, the stress levels would've shot through the roof and I'd be getting none of the relax time I needed. (Seeing what I've come back to here in the newly reorganized company, I'm thinking I'll need a solid couple weeks reading trash novels on some Hawaiian beach to truly leave the stress behind.)

foliage

So today we saw Armistead Maupin at the Randolph Country Club...at least it very much looked like him, but did I bother to find out for sure? No. That weird self censor that gives me a hard time speaking in public for fear of saying something inappropriate and stops me from talking too loudly in public places turned itself on with a vengeance. I could barely look over at him.

The man, whoever he was, kept looking over my way. I had a perfect opportunity to potentially meet someone I've admired for a long time...or at least have a funny cocktail story about how we THOUGHT we saw him but it was just some random guy cruising us. But I blew it. I'm still kicking myself, but trying to remember that every experience is a lesson and hoping that next time I won't let my superego rule my life.

In other news, we've had a historical couple of days. Spent yesterday doing the Adams tour and learning some interesting things about our early presidents. I'd taken the tour tour many years ago, but had forgotten what a wonderful place that their library is. If I had the money, I'd be building myself something similar.

Today, pre Maupin sighting, we toured through Lexington's National Heritage Museum. A bit of an extravagant name for a place with just a few exhibits, but it was still worth the trip. I loved the exhibit that juxtaposed original New England products with their contemporary counterparts. Weird to see colonial shoes made in Weymouth next to a pair of Reebok sneakers from Indonesia.

memory lane

In New Jersey today visiting with M and little e. She's grown so much since I last saw her in January! M and I spent the evening looking through pictures and watching some old home movies that she's taken of e...especially the ones that included G and myself. It makes me wish we were living closer and could participate a bit more in her day to day life. At the same time it makes me very glad that I got the webcam and that she'll get to have me in her life a bit more solidly during the next year when any move back east looks to be financial suicide.

Also very happy that she's no longer too shy to talk to me on the phone. Did I mention that our first full conversation occured a week ago? It was Monday night as I was on my way home from work. Stressed to the max with everything that was going on with impending layoffs and a doctor appointment that I'd avoided too long, but she took me away from that for a full five minutes or so as we talked about the much more important issue of upcoming Halloween costumes.

I like to think that our first real conversation and this visit are the things that I'll remember when I look back on October of 2003.

ps

So, I'm a little more mellow now, and having just logged back in to reread the "just ducky" post, must acknowledge that most of it is directed to the voices in my head versus any particular individual in my life. Yes. I have voices in my head. Perhaps this site should be called,"A Slow Descent into Madness." Probably already taken though. The web is, after all, a place for everyone.

Good night.

just ducky

Just got back from a show where I got to see a good friend act for the first time in ages. The material wasn't the best, but it didn't pretend to be a Tony award winner. More importantly, the company before and after the show were great and reminded me of how much I enjoyed hanging out with them back in SF. So I was in a pretty good mood, and excited to get online again to see if I could finally get logged in for an update on my trip.

Unfortunately, I was just sideswiped by an unforeseen email that pissed me off. So I'm going to give this up for today and just get drunk instead. Not a very mature attitude I suppose, but I get so tired of being the good boy sometimes. Organized Mikey. Good Mikey. He'll do it. He's good at that sort of thing. Oh, no, he can't have meant what he said at least three times this past month. No, not at all. We probably weren't listening to him. After all, he does babble on and on sometimes. So very boring, who'd want to listen to him. And now we're upset, so let's piss him off too. Let's make him feel like shit today out there in his fancy hotel room. I mean, he's probably been enjoying himself too much. The bastard deserves to be taken down a peg or to. And email's great for that. No chance for him to respond back without looking like even a bigger jerk. And he is a big jerk. Did we mention that he's dumb too? Oh, yes. He doesn't ever do anything right. He stays in a job that's slowly driving him crazy and just wasted a whole paycheck thanks to not being able to add up his taxes correctly two years ago. Should have just slit his wrists back in the 80's when he had the chance, but he couldn't even do that right. What an ass. But don't worry. He doesn't have any feelings anyway. None of this would ever affect him, not that it should. Only a stupid person would take it so personally. Whoops. He is stupid isn't he? Oh well.

I know, I know, "Self Pity, party of one - Your table's ready." I'll go sit down now and have that drink...though I feel oddly better having typed that all out. Ahh writerapy!

arrrgh!

Well, isn't that nice. I've been trying to log in for the past three nights to tell all about my exciting time here in New York, but the computer wouldn't let me link through. Tonight it finally works, but I've got m sitting on a couch in the hotel room and really want to spend the time with her. Will have to wait till tomorrow when, with fingers crossed, I'll try to log in again.

Spoken by a 70something woman sitting one table over from us at a diner on the upper west side, "Angela and her husband are in their mid-30's. You know, just starting out." What a nice thing for this slightly frantic 30something to hear.

wheeee!

Visited with the southern cousins this evening after finishing up another day of too many shoes. (don't even ask) They are doing well and the little guy is turning into a real little person. He woke up a bit after I got there and ate some food with us. They don't believe in baby food and feed him bits of real food which he does really well with. I tend to agree with this philosophy. After all, children survived without the benefit of puree for quite a few centuries didn't they? I love seeing kids at his age because they see everything as brand new still. After dinner we sat around in the living room, and having gotten used to my presence, he started interacting with me a bit more. I got to lift him up over my head and play superman. Pure joy! Reminds me not to take life too seriously. A nice little break from the world of discussing how best to make our products look enticing to consumers. I do enjoy the job, but it's good to think about what's really important in life: going Wheeee! every once in a while. :)

a visit from an old friend

I used to work with this woman we called Candy. She was a bit of a flake but very loveable. After she left the company, we'd make plans to get together, but I soon found that she was always late and sometimes wouldn't show up at all. Worse yet, there were a few times she wouldn't even call to let me know that she couldn't make it. Drove me crazy, and after putting my life on hold for one too many lunchbreaks, I gave up.

Why this little drive down memory lane? I had a rough day at work today catching up with all the work that piled up during my little camping adventure and for some reason this evening I was thinking of her. It was the same sort of day I used to have when I'd scramble to fit everything in order to meet her for lunch or a drink after work, only to have her not show up. I mean, how hard is it to give a quick call and say,"Sorry, can't make it." Much easier than coming up with an excuse after the fact. (She did once call to say that she would be there in just a little bit and then never showed up. She later claimed that she didn't have my cell phone number or she would've called and let me know about the last minute change...problem being that she had actually called my cell phone in order to give me the latest excuse. I let her fade out of my life pretty quickly after that.) Maybe someday - if we meet again and she's willing to respect my time - I'll think of getting together with her again - she was a blast after all - but it'd take me a long time to trust her again.

Hmmm. Residual pissyness exploding to the surface. Watch out, you might get burned.

In other news: I get to spend next week down in LA. Again. (G and I actually drove through this past weekend, so this'll make four weekends in a row.) I don't mind La La Land in small doses, but this is getting to be a bit much don't you think? On the bright side, I might manage to squeeze in an evening visit to my southern cousin and the babe. That would be cool.

road tripping

Left Vegas around 2:00 and got stuck in horrible traffic for quite some time. G very valiantly drove most of the way to the coast with me only taking over for an hour or so once we'd hit 101 North. Greg then took over again and got us the rest of the way to Montana de Oro, which we reached around midnight - very dark. Proud to say that we managed to put up the tent with only moonlight and an open car door to guide us. (Very glad that we did a practice run in the living room first.) Also very happy that we stopped in Barstow to pick up some self inflating mattresses. Made the sleeping that much more comfortable.

The next day we walked along the beach, spied on creatures in the tidepools and collecting interesting looking rocks. The cliff formations there are trippy. They're multitudinous layers of sedimentary stone that's slowly slipping into the sea and having the waves pound it into smooth shapes. Then the trek home, but not before a quick stop in Gilroy to check out the outlets. Not a big outlet fan usually, but these have a pretty good selection of stores. Besides, it's close to Hollister, which always reminds me of my skydiving adventure. All in all a very pleasurable weekend, but I am glad to be home. Being away really does make one appreciate the comfort of one's own space.

loop de loop

I've got about five minutes to tell you all that I was just on my first ever loop de loop rollercoaster here in the Adventure Dome. G and I are headed west to the coast where we will camp out...details to follow once I've reattached myself to civilization.

chapel of love

It's official. I've attended my first Vegas wedding and it was one of the better weddings I've been to. Of course there's the cheese factor. Lot's of cheese in Vegas...but there's a lot of cheese in weddings too...Why should the Chicken dance be solemnized along with other strange rituals, but "The Chapel of Elvis" is mocked? I've got to say...the participants all wanted to be there. There was an appropriate amount of humor, and the short sermon that the Reverend gave before the exchange of vows was quite to the point and something that I personally believe in, and the reception is the same group of people who actually want to be here in Vegas with the couple having some celebratory champagne and eating a nice meal together.

The answer to yesterday's question? I don't know what you would do, but I just made sure that everyone was in a sufficiently mind altered state. No one seemed to notice that the traditional stripper never appeared.

vegas baby!

Well, we're here in the city of sin. Tomorrow Buddah and OG will be tying the knot. I'm quite happy that I'm here to see this event...especially since I didn't go to his first wedding. Let's be honest, I felt it was a mistake and wouldn't go. I was honest. But not honest enough. A true friend would have told him why I wasn't going instead of hiding behind the excuse of distance.. I'm better now. And that's why this wedding is so right. OG is everything that Buddah has ever needed to not complete himself. After all, we have to be complete ourselves first, before we go and hitch ourselves to another fellow traveller. He and OG are perfect. 100% compatible, without being parasitic. That's it for now...I'm heading back to the "bachelor party" Ponder this...what do you do when you're the best man and over half the participants would prefer a male stripper over a female? (The groom being in the minority here.) Answer coming tomorrow.

board games in the workplace

Today revolved around spreadsheets. I wonder how many hours I spend a year looking at little boxes in Excel? Changing minute bits of textual information from day to day until everybody has finally agreed on exactly which value they'd like to see in that little box. (I should explain that we mostly use Excel in a non mathematical manner. The values of which I speak are product names and descriptors.) Sometimes I see my job as a ridiculous game of shoots and ladders. Every time you get an approval on what's in a box, you go up a ladder. Every time management sends it back for revisions, you're sliding downward...hopefully not all the way to the bottom. Thing is, when I was a kid, I used to love to climb up the slides and jump from the top of the stairs. Carrying this practice into the workplace can bring some interesting results.

In other news: Vegas is just three days away! Spoke with Buddah today: he and his bride are all ready for the upcoming nuptials. I also purchased their wedding gift today. G and I will take it down south with us in the rental car. CAR! It'll be nice to drive something a bit newer than my trusty, but rather bedraggled Honda. I used to have a cute picture of me standing in front of it right before I trekked across the country. It got lost when my computer died a few months back. Electronic mishaps are the modern equivalent of a house fire that destroys cherished photos and old letters. I've heard that there's some movement afoot to take a snapshot of the internet - every web page everywhere - and store it in an archive of the Smithsonian. A snapshot from 2002.

Last thought: Tomorrow at 8:02 it will be. 20-02-2002, 20:02. This won't happen again until 21-12-2112, 21:12. Then it will never happen again. (There are no months past 12 and no hours past 30.) I can't take credit for this thought. I got an e-mail from Phoenix. Only his mail said that this was the last time. I'm pretty excited to tell him that it WILL still happen again. I think he'll appreciate it. He'll also appreciate the fact that the ancient Mayans predicted the world would end on the solstice in the year 2112.

Well, I'm not sure about the veracity of that last statement, but I'm not above starting rumors.

EDIT: Actual Mayan date seems to be 2012...a bit closer than previously reported.

getty

Internet connection is super slow tonight, so I'm going to keep this short. Getty Museum today. Definitely one of my favorite places to go. I love the architecture and gardens. Beautiful, and almost like walking through some futuristic movie set. They have a pretty varied collection there too. Something for everyone. From ancient greek artifacts to modern photographers.

Must make a point of getting back there soon. Maybe we can make a roadtrip down to see the southern cousin and her tyke this year. I'd love to go back to that B&B that G and I visited in Santa Monica...nice memories.

i'm going to disneyland

After a bit of a rough start, today turned out to be quite nice. Around 2pm C and I arrived at Disney Land. My very first time at "The Happiest Place on Earth"

I'd been to Disney World back at age 13 with the parentals and Marcus, but somehow I've always wanted to see the park that started it all. The one that always seems to get featured in those too-late at night specials on the DisneyChannel. So today we went and...it was just an amusement park. A rather nice one, with fewer gumwrappers than most, but oh so crowded with every type of dusty human being imaginable and some of them not very nice people. Admittedly not the staff, who were almost eerie in their unerring smilingness. But the visitors were not the clean shining examples of Americana, waltzing down Main Street hand in hand that I'd somehow expected to find.

Now I'm fully aware that I, having survived three full decades on this planet of ours, shouldn't be so naive as to think that some marketers mouse house was truly as wonderful as they proclaimed, yet there was a part of me that did expect it. Did I therefore spend the rest of the day wallowing in sad dissillusionment? No, I was actually overjoyed to find that a part of me still exists that expects the universe to be as wonderful as we sometimes imagine it to be. And the day kept getting better.

We didn't go any many of the rides, but in a twist of good luck we did start out at Thunder Mountain. As we sped up and down this ride, which seemed tame to my adult mind that's experienced highs of many sorts - both natural and un - I suddenly remembered the 13 year old I had been who sped from exit back to entrance with my little brother right next to me so that we could go on it again - and again. That in mind, I spent most of the day letting my inner child run free. Ignoring the gumwrappers and too tired parents and just soaking in what is, after all, a pretty neat place. A big shout out to the dude himself, I was back there today and boy was it fun! (and to any errant wanderer whose tripped onto these pages...I know this is just so much mental masturbation but it's my blog so THBBBT! If you don't like it, you can just go play somewhere else.)

In other news, we all went to see The Royal Tenenbaums tonight. Which greatly pleased my inner English Major. I recommend it to anyone who likes their comedy a bit darker than the usual fare offered up at the cineplex. I confess. When I was younger, I wished I was more like Margot Tenenbaum...that is until I realized I could be interesting in my own right. (bit full of myself tonight aren't I)

One last note before sending this off into the ether. A big thanks to C for being the kind of friend who can wander aimlessly around an amusement park with me just...well hang out. I miss having you around up north!

feeling numb


I'm feeling a bit numb tonight. Not sure what that's all about. I had a nice mellow evening with C watching Rush Hour 2 and Rock Star. RH2 was pleasantly insipid. Not as good as the first one, but what did we expect? Also had the tired stereotyped queen character who was serving as a Vegas fashion consultant. Puh-lease. Next time I see a movie, I want the gay hairdresser/fashion consultant/interior decorator/best friend of female in peril to KICK SOME SERIOUS ASS! Enough already of cutting people to the quick with our wit. There's no reason we can't be witty AND still get the bad guys.

Rock Star...well, I'm going to reserve judgement on that one and think about it for a while. It wasn't as predictable as I thought it was going to be. The ending was still a bit formulaic, but not in an expected way. Does that make any sense?

Anyway, back to numb. I think it's a combination of two things...firstly, I've been on the road a week and miss my own space. Secondly, I miss G. Well, maybe that firstly and secondly ought to swap places. I'd be much happier to be away from home if he were here with me....I keep thinking about us going camping together. Generally, G and I like to have rooms to wander around in otherwise we both feel constricted. None-the-less, I think a tent will be a small space that we'll actually be very happy to be together in. We do well in small enclosed spaces that are cozy...ok, starting to babble.

One last point...was just informed by C that this house has a resident spirit that may reside in this room. Putting out feelers but don't sense anything. If I'm back typing at 3:30 in the morning, you'll know why.

creeping


It's valentine's day and my sweetness is 300 miles northward. I missed him last night. My leg kept creeping over to the other side of the kingsize bed and searching for his warmth next to me. My rational mind new that if I actually encountered anything that I'd freak out and run screaming from the hotel room, but my foot kept on hoping to find him there none-the-less.

So tonight I'm in the hotel room alone, preparing to watch a too expensive movie courtesy of pay per view. I think I'm going to go for Atlantis...I am a sucker for animated fare and it'll be a bit of an added v-day gift to G that I spare him having to watch it. Hee!

Overall, it's been a rather grand day. I got to sleep in this am, which I am very happy about. The cold is just about kicked right out of my bod. Also, after minimal meetings, I'm finished. DONE. No more work till Tuesday! A whole three days. And I get to visit with C and J, whom I haven't seen in forever! (Not to be confused with C and J East, who will have alternate nicknames on this site) Yay! I'm afraid C thinks I'm a bit of a dork right now though. Every time I've talked to him about logistics of getting from here to where their house is, my brain is on hold. It's typical. G deals with it all the time. I think it has something to do with the fact that I'm forced...er, let's be honest... not forced but paid to be alert to small details all day. So when I get to be around those who I trust love me, I give the brain a little break. I can turn him on again, but I usually have to be reprimanded for being a space cadet first. (and if I've met up with good ol' blue, then it's space city for a while.)

Hmmm...no fun links or pics today. If you're looking for more to distract you, try one of these.

doubleplus good meetings

Oops, I've skipped a day. Bad Mike. I have a good excuse though. This meeting is kicking my butt! Wake up. Meeting, meeting, lunch meeting, meeting, meeting, welcome reception, meeting. In bed by midnight, up by 7:30. Today we actually finished by 6:00 and I skipped out of dinner with a bunch of people I don't know. I have a headache. (how's that for an archetypical excuse?) "Not tonight, I have a headache." Sadly, it's true. I'm waiting for Girly to finish up her spa so that we can do a quick dinner and then I'm popping some Tylenol with codeine and sleeping till tomorrow. Can't wait! But till then...Lucky you! I get to write randomly.

Bunny G called me yesterday and left a message to let me know that she'd been thinking of me. I was happy to hear her voice, but I'm finding myself feeling the need to give her a wide berth right now. I think we're both on very singular missions right now and that too much contact might just end up causing one or both of us a headache. OK, I'm scared of the headache. I'm also scared, as I've always been since she joined the Group, that someday we'll talk and we'll have lost that connection. She could get into my head better than anyone else I know...except maybe for G...but he's still learning. (my head is a rather complicated place, full of cul de sacs and one way streets that lead nowhere). Bunny could tell me what I was thinking even before I knew myself, and I could do the same for her. While that's naturally been lost over the past two years as we chose to walk down our seperate paths, we always had a spark of it left. I guess I'm scared that the spark will go out and that I'll have to be happy with just the memory of the spark. She'd tell me I can choose to be scared over something like that if I want and leave it at that. You know what, she's right.

OK, in the spirit of Mikeyness I'm changing my mind. Not about it being my choice to feel scared. That's just a self evident truth in my book. We might not choose our initial feeling about an experience, but we sure choose how to feel afterwards.

I've decided that the truth is that I don't want to talk to her right now and that I'm not sure why. I think, if I look deep down, I've been having abandonment issues ever since she moved up North to the commune, but that might be too simplistic. I have also felt betrayed by her. It hurt that I didn't get to see her when she zipped past last Thanksgiving. It hurt that she never came to see my new place when I moved. There's a part of me that almost wants to shout out,"I went to visit your new family as strange as that was for me, why wouldn't you come see mine?" There's a part that wants to throw a bucket of cold water over her head and wake her up. "Don't you see that by shutting yourself off with the Group that you minimize the amount wonderfulness you could be sharing with the universe? I know you still get the message out..but to a select few who happen to have the approval of the Group." Hmmm. Suddenly I get an image of the Borg. Maybe not, after all, they do have a lot of orgasm happening up there.

OK, enough ranting for one evening. I'm one to talk about Borg mentality. Look at me with all my meetings. Especially the ones focused on sales. Talk about group think! "We love the company, our message is platform shoes, our message has always been platform shoes, our message has never been anything else. Messages of our competitors are weak. Promote our message. Doubleplus good!" Ooh, I wish I had the 1984 soundtrack right now. It would be nice to hear Annie singing that song. Well, maybe nice to hear after the Tylenol with Codeine. Right now I just need some food and then peaceful sleep.

Much warmer in LA than I thought it would be. Cool right now actually, night time, but the day was up in the 70's. Nice.

Can't take too long with this...I rather stupidly forgot to pack the power cord to my computer and have to conserve as much of the battery as possible until Tuesday. (G's being a very good boyfriend and FedExing it to me tomorrow.) Wish he was here. He'd really love the tub in this room. Nice and deep...just missing the Jacuzzi jets that would make it perfect, but I'm certainly not complaining. Can't wait to see C and J over the weekend. It'll be nice to catch up and kick back after this week of meetings. Gotta remember to call them tomorrow to nail down what time we'll be meeting up on Friday.

Now to bed to finish up Switcheroo by Olivia Goldsmith. (she wrote First Wives Club) It was fluff, but enjoyable fluff with an interesting insight into how ltrs can become tedious if you don't remind each other of why you got together in the first place. Not that G and I have reached that space yet, but I'm going to remember how important it is to keep going for walks together in which we just enjoy the magic of the world around us. And five years down the road I'll surprise him by doing something zany.
