ever play the CLAW game?  pop in a coin and use the joystick to tell the CLAW where to drop and snatch into a pool of stuffed animals....on your 20th try, which is at cost of the toy, you get unlimited tries...woot woot..she won one for me anyways!  (of course larry is the only person i know who can win within 10seconds of playing)

there's this singer, WILL, who wears a BEANIE ALL THE TIME and janie tells me it's because he's balding...it's so friggin weird cuz you'll see him on a talkshow wearing the beanie...then a music video where he wears a beanie....and u'll see him wearing a suit with a beanie...a white one with a white suit, a black one with a black suit...etc etc....and now that i'm in dire need of a haircut...i will now takeover the "i wear beanie all the time" title....what fits on my head...covers most of her face....

I LOVE THIS SONG....

5:15 AM

mom and larry

2:55 AM

i've gone through a few pretty grueling med school interviews in my 'heyday' and it's not just the actual interview that's intense but mostly all the baloney leading up to it...a few weeks of anticipation stress, hours of realtime bullshitting stress....and then the post stress along with the next days hangover stress.....

as tough as those few experiences were, i'll tell you that going through a night out at a bar, 6 hours at the bed tonight, WITHOUT one friggin single drop of alcohol is a feat that i'll add to the list of lifetime achievements...tonight was the month anniversary of my sobriety and i guess that month of clarity ironically acted like as a month of memory loss as to forgetting how hard it'd be not to drink, to get through the peer pressure....i'll have to say the 3 stooges put up quite a valiant effort, and maybe it's cuz our lifelong history together hasn't been all that extensive that their attempts were futile...(because i know that if i was in the states i would not make this non drinking bet purely due to L.O.P.)...

NO, i can't have AS good of a time without alcohol...i'm sorry, i'm just not at that point in life, if ever...(the phrase "i'm high on life" includes quite a bit of drinking)....i sincerely enjoy the feeling of being completely obliterated and watching others drink does not make me think..."oh what a bunch of idiots" but rather "OH SHIT...im completely missing out on this feeling"...the same jokes you've heard 100x are funny, but not as funny, the same face cramp conducing stories are funny, but not that funny...the conversation and smiles are a bit forced and worse of all, the awkward silences are AWKWARD....usually a "SOCIAL" can fill just about anything...if u're not slurring, ur hunger doesn't have a "spot to hit"....wings dont taste as good, fried chicken doesn't taste as good, the street food doesn't taste as good, shit just don't hit the spot!....and whats a night without a good PUKE (puke buddy larry is in town anyways)...ok ok..just kidding...not to mention...not drinking totally fucks up my diet...not being part of the drunken stupor can really make you depressed...and knowing all the calories you're not ingesting by not drinking, you think eating will help...so you binge at the end of the night...i really do think this would count as a disorder.....i'll admit that.....

don't get me wrong....i had a great time tonight...but i think all things in life need to be viewed in light of OPPORTUNITY COST....

willie even got on his knees to beg me to drink....so i picked up the glass....and put it back down...

the chicken graveyard....(bennet is not quite what LOP is but a chickenator nonetheless)

it's really hard to stay out all night if you're not drinking...

quote of the night:

"i think you spend a lot of time with your friends..........THIS AIN'T BROKEBACK"

10:04 AM

there's this comic that i was reminded of this morning...

a child plays an instrument with a dad looking over him grimacing....and the music bubble reading "squee squaww weee wrrawwww ring rang rong bing bang bong tong ding ding ding...scrrreeeecchhhhh"

"so dad....you like my song?" he asks

grimacing he replies "well...uhh....what's it called?

"squee squaww weee wrrawwww ring rang rong bing bang bong tong ding ding ding...scrrreeeecchhhhh"

"....oh in that case...i love it"

i'm pretty open to all types of music and musical instruments...even if i don't personally enjoy the sound i think i can somewhat appreciate it, sometimes i'll be amazed at shrieking oddities producing interesting melodies (ie bagpipes) and even more admiring of some artists who sample these sounds into their own music....BUT what i don't friggin appreciate nor feel the need to understand are those instruments that are squeakingly, annoying, OBNOXIOUSLY PRETENTIOUSLY LOUD that temples located on major city streets need to use at deafening decibels for what seem to be 5.30am rehearsal ritual...5 buses lined up, children, old folk filled....4 scary costumed giants frolicking at the gates of the temple as 7 women in leprechan SLASH stewerdess outfits blowing all the air out of their lungs...."squee squaww weee wrrawwww ring rang rong bing bang bong tong ding ding ding...scrrreeeecchhhhh" ...my friggin gawd...SHADDUP!

if that wasn't deserving of "what a sight" here's couple number 2!!

5:07 AM

who the heck legitimately falls asleep only to fully wake up undisturbed an hour and a half later?  i thought i had fixed the sleep schedule yesterday, but i'm back on a full fledged 2 week insomnia binge...When you have insomnia, you're never really asleep, and you're never really awake.With insomnia, nothing is real.
                 Everything is far away.  Everything
                 is a copy of a copy of a copy.

only a select few will find this picture funny or even understand it....

9:23 PM

my newest creedo....

larry referred to me and him as "anna and the crane" today...without fully realizing how perfectly poignant this title was, with a little spelling correction to "ana and the crane" (ana being short for anorexic)...and so being angry with the newly crowned title especially after adpoting my newest creedo (see above)....i downed my protein shake and made reservations at Mo-Mo Paradise, all you can eat sukiyaki, as to the delight of 'the crane' who has been craving for his second opportunity to take down the record of 18 plates of BEEF....and so at 7.55pm me and janie "the mutilator" yang show up to find 'the crane' waiting for us at the entrance of the restaurant in his best "all you can eat" attire donning his newest neck pendullum....a bluetooth earpiece for his cell phone which replaced the previous much bulkier digital camera...

 

i'll have to say that sukiyaki has seemed to be a task in itself to cook and eat all at once due to fast cooking time, egg yolk beating, meat dipping, vegetable placement, beef separation, beverage ingestion and extra order tasking...and as quick as i was to create a more comfortable eating mis-en-place, the crane cooked and ate the first plate...he then proceeded to eat the next 3 plates in 15 minutes before slowing down to a more moderate pace....

 

 

 

even though i doubted 'the cranes' big mouth and predicted that the 3 of us combined wouldn't finish 17 plates (we finished 14 plates of beef collectively), i kept my mouth shut with negative comments and open with rhetorical, taste of your own regurgetated preaching, inspiration for 'the crane' as he chowed down...."stay focused larry, stop playing with your phone and ear piece, stop counting the number of plates of beef and just stay focused on your stomach....talk to your stomach....let it know....let it know to take down more....", and as predicted 'the crane' faltered at 8 plates of beef with 'mutilator yang' at his neck yelping "larry you loser! stop messing around! where did larry go? he went to throw up didn't he? he left the table without his cell phone so we wouldn't call to get him back! KEEP EATING LARRY! STOP BEING SUCH A WUSS...YOU'RE ONLY AT 9...AT LEAST 13!...COME ON LARRY! HURRY UP! EAT YOUR MEAT!...oh excuse miss can you bring out another plate?" just as defeat sunk it's teeth into 'the cranes' big mouth....and if kicking salt into the wounds of a glutton wasn't enough...."BOOO TO LARRY" pictures were taken by 'mutilator yang' to sabotage the wallpaper and screen saver of his new phone....

 

"my body is aching...wait...i just need to burp...i can't burp...ugh..it hurts....oh man...i'm sleepy...i'm soo full...oh it hurts"

 

 

he cheesed the ninth plate, actually i'm not even sure if he finished it, mutilator ordered and cooked it while crane head to the bathroom for what was the ending 'shit' of the fiasco....all that pain...all that protein....

 

'the crane' is gonna go crazy at the gym tomorrow....
