note, copied here because blogger isn’t working.
much later... ok i haven't been keeping up with the blog. typical. maybe later i'll fill in some of the spaces.
this would be a good day to blog. it was almost productive, interesting, exciting. almost.
i got a few things done...
sent in the payments on the phone water and electric bills that had shutoff notices. to do thaT, I HAD TO FIND THE BILLS, STAMPS,
rats, and checkbook. i found the checkbook by rummaging around on my bedroom carpet looking for any stay morsels of pot.
i ended up smoking two of the seedlings, using a candle and a broken lighter.
mailed some stuff to lawyers, stuff that was spozed to be mailed friday (3 days ago).
rode my bike downtown to mail them - if i'd done it sooner coulda just put it in the box.
stopped and paid for and got the transcript of the hearing in majors v abell.
i washed dishes - so that's done for May- and took out some trash.
the lawn mower store was closed when i went.
i got a kiss from what's her name who lived here for awhile. carrie.
she has a cute but drunk new girlfriend.
we would have bought pot if it were handy,
the last ally mcbeale episode was dull, then i went to kareoke at oz.
i went up to some guy - alex - told him he was the cutest guy there. well he was.
dannon, the dj, came up and said hi. i mumbled a minimal response.
you wouldn't know i'm desperately hot for the guy.
i mean, just look at that butt. http://www.gurlpages.com/gtbear/crews.html
been way too long since i've spanked him.
daniel and deborah sang, and we hung out a little.
that's about it for today.
well i left out the part where i played chess on yahoo and surfed porn for a few hours,
found a few pages of spank pics. ok

test. just lost a 3 line post basicly saying i'd gotten nothing done yet today, especially if posting to usenet doesn't count.
annoying popsickle truck going by. all for now - off to swill coffee.

reposting after first try failed.
later thAT SAME DAY: (oops) i haven't gotten alot done today. haven't opened the file i'm working on, a brief to the seventh circuit
in one of my anonymous political speech cases.
instead, after reading the bad novel i mentioned below, i looked for online and found "the tale of genji", possibly the world's oldest novel, depending on what functional definition one uses of novel. but i couldn't really get into it.14th century japanese court literature. mybe i'll give it another try another time. maybe not.
then i looked for and found dr graper's grapenotes at http://www.grapenotes.com , a legendary collection of early online gonzo journalism, that i hadn't read for 20 years. yes, i was online 20 years ago, then off for 10 years, then back on.
got a phone call re ongoing negotiations for selling a vacant lot for $600. took the car parts to the shop for a valve job. looked to see how my garden is doing.some people came over and we smoked dope - i'd been doing pretty well all morning being sober, since i'm out and trying to cut back. yesterday i'd searched the house meticulously for an hour and finally found a roach to get a good buzz off of. recently read michener's "the drifters" and evely waugh's "decline and fall", one of those british boarding school farces.
i'm using reading as a crutch these days; when i have my nose in a book i don't notice being depressed. any day now i will break down and spend $5 to get a library card so i can check out a collection of vernor vinge stories. ordinarily i do not spend money other than car repairs and bills. roomate says he has a job and should have some rent for me soon. he moved in in january, hasn't paid rent yet, this is may. all for now.

so far it seems to be working; i can log in and out and the info is still here. i don't completely trust it.

silly posts are in reverse chronological order, makes it a bit difficult to begin at the begining. there's no built-in spell check here, so i am noticing lots of typos. all for now. i'll have to decide whether to edit out these "all for now"s or keep them as a catchphrase thingy.

seemed to go ok. there's a tension here between being thorough but dull, or creating great literature. there are 10,000 other bloggers out there. i suppose i'm my own audience - i'm 40 now, at 80 it might be nice to have this to read, if i can successfully back up my data. the intent is to preserve something for posterity. i'm convinced that the golden age is in front of us, space travel will allow population growth, billions of new marks er readers. maybe even intellegence enhancement to the point where people will have time to read more, and keep up with the information explosion. that's if i end up expressing anything of value, to the point where anybody would want to read this, maybe even encourage others to read it. that is, can i create memes with survival value.
meanwhile, it's beltane, midafternoon, and my mechanic is on his way over so we can take my cylinders to be bored out. or something, pertaining to the 84 mercury and its parts strung about my garage. all for now.

once upon a time... hi. gummi the bear here. might start keeping an online diary here. diary.. not quite right. journal maybe.
"memoirs." It's just that sometimes recently i've had these killer exciting event-filled days, but what with having no short term memory, if fades fast, and it's sad not having anyone to share my adventures with. i read a lot, and think, man i could write better than that. (this morning i read a really bad novel, john o'hara's "the instrument" @1967). i'd been keeping a sporadic journal at
communities.msn.com/joelsparty but bill gates ate it, it's gone. this should be a bit more stable.
all for now, this is just a test to see if the entries load ok.
