this is the autumn of my betrayal and discontent.
winter, however, is looking pretty good. -28 november 2005

i provided the dates to detail the progression in random thought since the end of my nearly-three-year relationship on 10 october 2005. things could be worse.

wine cellars and such

i'd just like to say that my uncle is cooler than yours.
seriously, he is. not only did he survive a construction accident which could have killed him; not only is he so good at stock trading of some sort that he doesn't even have to work; not only is he currently in vegas just for fun; not only has he skied in austria, attended the 2004 olympics in australia and drank italian wines in italy; not only does he have the freedom to play texas hold'em whenever he wants in two or three different states. he also has a wine cellar.
and not like a closet with a few bottles in it either - i'm talking about a veritable basement room with concrete walls surrounded by earth containing an entire wall's length shelving full of bottles from all parts of the world in every variety imaginable. why does he have all of this? because he enjoys having guests over and he wants them to enjoy themselves.
so like i said, my uncle is cooler than yours.
(and last i heard, my father was building a bar in his basement....)

all hallows' eve

i must say that i love athens at halloween. it's the type of city where you feel out of place if you didn't dress up. i went halloween night and had a great time with my friend april potter who lives there. we hit about five (or was it six?) bars that night.
1) wild wings - for a rueben sandwich, a dark beer and a blonde french maid named jaclyn.
2) don't remember - for jager bombs, more dark beers and a drag show.
3) don't remember - for dark beer, a costume contest and a rodeo bull-riding girl dressed as a cop.
4) the globe - for dark wine and a quick hello to her friends.
5) some other place - for two games of pool and a few more beers.

i think that was all of them but i may have forgotten one still. unfortunately, my sister wussed out and didn't show.
by the way if you happen to see jaclyn at wild wings, tell her the guy in the kilt said hello.
