Goochdog Millionaire

When I showed up at the jobsite today, I had to Gooch-Rig three different components of the workstation I set up because of defective (yet brand new) parts. As long as the surge protector doesn't get bumped, they don't try to use the second monitor, and the network card holds on before I can replace it, the end user will have a pleasant first day on the job.

Courtesy of me, who was one step away from wrapping something in duct tape just to symbolize the rigginess of my endeavor. I'm just waiting for someone to complain about the placement of the computer in relation of the desk. That's usually a given when I set up a new workstation.

Oh, am I boring you with shop-talk? Afterwards, I came home, had a decent tug, took a nap, and now I'm planning out my evening. It's going to be a long one.

Fitness needs to be a priority. I plan on playing soccer next week and drunken antics on a Vegas dance floor do not constitute aerobic exercise. I've lost over ten pounds since I got the pneumonia. It's tough making the conscious effort to not eat as much and therefore retain the weight loss. I ate 600 calories yesterday and 380 calories so far today. Could be why I'm sleeping so much and slurring my words, but damn I can fit into my slacks again.

The Day the Gooch Stood Still

I wish I could stand still today. I have a job to do today. Should be laid back. Stayed home last night; ate popcorn and watched a bootleg copy of Slumdog Millionaire. Good movie. Sad at the beginning, but a satisfying ending. You know, like sex with me. Oh wait, did I say "satisfying..."

I am my own worst enemy.

My cough, the last remnants of my pneumonia, is slowly getting better. I quit using the albuterol in public because it looks dumb.

Going out tonight to a few different places. I like my steady mobbing mode of going out. It'll be a tour stretching from downtown to the slums of east county.

Nice.

Awww Yeah...

Think I've got some sushi time lined up for today. I've worked my ass off all week, pulling off the impossible and bringing joy where there was sadness - only sadness. I'm like God but without the healthy glow, like Mother Theresa but with a better complexion, like Ghandi with a gut. I can make pickets fence, and butters fly. I...

This cough medicine is awesome. I'm sitting at my desk; it's 10:34am. I had a meeting set up for 10:00am. Is my time not important to him? Granted, all I've done is read entertainment blogs and write this post. Oh, and I set up a sushi lunch.

Here's some interesting news: Return of the Fockers

I've gotta go. Sometimes reading other blogs is more interesting than writing this one.

The hangover continues...

Just like that kid in Goonies, I'm rocking an inhaler. I have the worst fucking cough I've ever had and my whole body aches. Vegas was not a good plan in the course of my pneumonia recovery. Do I regret the trip's effect on my wallet and overall health?

Nope.

But I'm now back to going to bed at 9pm, not drinking much, and sleeping a lot. It's like being amish but without the cool beard. I've lost 10 pounds since the pneumonia and involuntary fast that followed.

Work is going well. I was supposed to DJ again at the strip club this weekend, but I don't think that's a good idea. I could use some solid stripper time, though.

Quote from Vegas at a champagne brunch: "I'm going to drink until you guys are interesting."

...and then the hangover

I have a physical to get this morning. I still hurt from the bender this weekend. This will not bode well. Should I tell the doctor that I'm probably still buzzed?

Great start to a great day!

At the 11:11 (am)

My friends went to a Comedy Sportz event in Portland. They found a picture of the emcee online and sent it to me, noting that the guy looks exactly like me. I didn't see the picture, I only saw the text on my phone that the guy's name was Curt "Deep Fat" Frye. I just saw the picture and there is some similarity. Of course any chubby dude with a short hair cut, glasses and a double chin obscuring goatee is going to look like me. Check it out:
