this just in:

tp.com has just learned that people puked at Denis and Sandy’s wedding!

Q. how could this be? A. there was lots of booze and lots of mexican food and lots of laughing and plenty of beach in which to either slip away and mack or slip away and yack. here’s who did the latter, thanks to our inside sources: J. Frances at Elsie’s, M. Danner at their hotel room, and Shira felt inclined to yak for some time, but did not, and quickly sobered up. im sure the list was longer, but the fellas are more sly with their upchuckings, apparently.

yes this is more information than you probably hoped for, but i am making up for the lack of info that these all-news stations are giving us regarding this so called war on drugs, or evil-doers, or communism, or whatever they call it this time.

ISLAVISTA

– Fucking rad here. I want to move back. I took some pictures that i uploaded to a yahoo picture gallery. yes, im a dork. its easier this way, though, trust me.

i rooted against bonds all year long and sent out as many bad vibes as i could. i had him on the badasses and traded him. i had plenty of homers and i needed a catcher and got him for Piazza. this was like in mid may when he already had twenty homers and i needed a catcher and already had sosa and giles in the outfield. you can always pick up another outfielder, but always get sosa. (yes, i won two leagues this year.)

its saturday, noon, i just read the daily nexus, which is terrible, im sorry to say, other than the opinoin section. the art’s section looked good, but do you really need a full page for a twenty inch review of serendipity? whatever. it’s still better than the Times.

i posted a topic for discussion on Metafilter

before I went off to lunch, and when I came back, it had been taken down. That makes me feel creepy. And now I’m disappointed, cuz i like that site.

I said, “Barry Bonds tied Mark McGwire’s home run record last night, how do you feel about it? Personally, I hope he slips in the shower before tonight’s game.”

Do the brilliant webmasters at Metafilter think that because I write an opinoin, it will somehow come true? And what if I really do feel that way – which i do, by the way – am I not allowed to have my feelings? Anyway, as a wise man once said, “if you’re not getting censored, you’re not trying.” Amen to that, Sonny I.V.

i get a lot of mail and i love it all

and i apologize for not replying quicker, but if you must have an answer fast, it’s good to try me at my hotmail account, psycho, i know.

the biggest compaint that i have received this week is that i dont write much about commuting, here, on this alleged Bus Blog, and i havent been filling you in on the juicy details of Tall Skinny Girl, who i did ride with – and ignore – during my morning bus/train journey yesterday.

this morning, however, i got a super late start and i didnt get to Vermont/Sunset until 8:38 – way too late. magically the train arrived and got us to Wilshire/Vermont just in time for the Wilshire/Western train to pull in a tad early – another miracle occured when that train actually WAITED for us to run down the stairs. Still I had to get to work in about 10 minutes or be late!

we emerge from the subway and i contemplate taking a taxi the 13 blocks but an empty-ish red Rapid bus arrived and i hopped on it. Get off two stops later at Wilshire/LaBrea walk a block and theres the orange 21 right on my heels. How do i deserve such convenience? It drops me off right in front of my secret office building, i get in the elevator which sports one of those cool flat screen tv-like deals that tells me how my stocks are doing, but most importantly the time. it’s always time to get ill, but especially when it reveals that i am only ten minutes late – quite a feat: GOD BLESS YOU MTA!

(now do you see why i keep the commuting news to a minimum?) in other news, i noticed that many subway riders are now wearing earplugs to lessen the pain as the cars screech between Wilshire/Beverly en route to Wilshire/Vermont. who says Los Angelinos will sacrifice usefullness for image? not so underground, they look like dorks but at least they dont have to clean up the blood off their shoulders from their savaged ear drums.

Remember when Napster was being dragged down

by Judge Patel and lots of people, including yours truly, told you that there would just be others that would pop up in its place?

Well, that happened, and now the clock is ticking on Morpheus, Grokster, KaZaA and a few of the others. But just like fruits that are ripe, now is the time to become inebriated while downloading all those things that you have been trying to get as there are hundreds of thousands of users and tons of tunes, software, videos and images. Go! Quick! Quick, i tell you. PS if the window doesnt appear right away, dont be alarmed, it’s just thousands of people like you signing up before the plug gets pulled.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous

I am still getting dollars from my friends and people who know me. That is very nice, but that’s not what this is about. If you are a friend or you know me and you want to get me something, say for my birthday on the 22nd, you can either donate to my favorite charity, Jews For Jesus or you can get me something like a George Foreman grill off my Amazon Wishlist. I appreciate you thinking of me, it’s very cool. I dont even deserve your friendship, and trust me, that’s plenty. But at least now you have options.

magic johnson bought Fatburger (the whole chain!) yesterday. me, i didnt do shit.

i’m out sick

i think i have allergies. eyes red, sneezing. feel like heck. shall crawl to the drugstore for benedryl and kleenex.

a very nice person sent me a dollar on my quest to get a car. we’re only $22,332 away. right on, people.

got home from the drug store to see that a very very very nice *friend* sent me $20! on the quest to get a car. this is great, of course, but it breaks rule #2. if you are a friend of mine, or have met me in person, or have chatted with me on the internet, i would prefer it if you just told someone else and send them this link: https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=paypal@tonypierce.com&item_name=Car+For+A+Stranger&amount=1.00&no_shipping=1

but thanks! we’re only $22,312 away! whoo-hoo!
