Just when I've come back from the depths of my own personal purgatory, it seems you've disappeared into yours. Not that I can blame you; these be dark days. I hope you're finding some light...

from absolutheart :

oh, you really should be online more often. i've got many recommendations scottish.

from smedindy :

I've been to all the F-1 races (go in my archives for my F-1 rant after this years debacle in June - can't miss it). We're now going to Eastern Daylight, so the time here will be the same as New York.

from trishtastic :

I don't have an email... have you heard of Whitespot? Dancehall, lived in Cleveland, circa late 80's-early 90's.

from xquzme :

Dude. I can't get to your older entries. Is it just me?! Nice to see you, honey, and I want to catch up on you!

from thetimid :

Not disappeared, except maybe into the vast chasm of my own shitstorm...gracias for the greetings, and good to see you're still kicking it hard core. Rock on.

from hulabelly :

And now the song is stuck in my head, but now it says "grindstone cowboy" and I keep thinking that I MUST make up all new lyrics...

from nyquilgirl :

oh my god. best icon EVER.

from connie-cobb :

1. I love your drunkeness. 2. I wish you could have farted on command as well.

from connie-cobb :

Ha! I wish it were just a fashion designer's cliche - but it ain't. No sir, it ain't.

from connie-cobb :

Ohh, this is too funny. I was seriously just in the bathroom, worrying about my own financial woes & I thought, well, hell. I'll just have to subsist on fruit and coffee for a while. That's not too bad, right? And here you are, doing the same thing, but substituting the coffee for beer. Swear to God, we were cut from the same cloth.

from connie-cobb :

Every time I try to leave a comment, it never shows up, so here's what I just tried to leave for you: I have $20 in my bank account, and for NYC, that is the equivalent OF NOTHING. I'm trying to empty out my Roth IRA so I can make it until payday. If anyone understands your hatred of money, it is the Connie to the Cobb.

from betchy :

ah, but thats where i am confusing....originally i am from Feltham, which is in London (well the outskirts) and is very much an Arsenal supporting town. i moved to Weston when my parents split up, and look at the choices of club to support round here.....Bristol Rovers or Bristol City! i can either be a shithead or a gashead! no thanks! i will stick to being a Gooner!

from betchy :

oh my, you are so far beyond being legendary now that i know you are a Gooner! do you know how cool that makes you? that you're American, yet you STILL support the team of teams? you are a fucking GOD!

from betchy :

does your IM name mean that you are into English football and support Arsenal (please say it does)

from connie-cobb :

I just tried to sign your guestbook and something happened, so I don't know if it left the msg. or not. In a nutshell, I said that when I got sick of the charade, I packed up my shit, moved to NY, and have been freaking out ever since. YEEHAW.

from connie-cobb :

I know right? Gotta be piz-oor to be a riz-evo. I need to lay off the Snoop, don't I. (Yikes - that sounds pornographic)

from connie-cobb :

That is, by the way, p. 84 from Fear & Loathing -- not mine.

from connie-cobb :

I try not to - I try not to! I'm a product of my environment - the more i spend time with creatively inclined foolz, the more I add to my own insanity...

from yeahimadork :

Ok, so I have been reading some of your older entries, and I must say I am quite a fan of yours now. I was hoping to email you and ramble about how much I enjoyed it, but you don't have an email contact option, and I don't want to clog up your notes, so I'll just say I really enjoy your writing. I am adding you to my favorites. :)

from yeahimadork :

Jesus, I am such a fucking retard. I went to reply to your note, and sent it to myself. Save me. Here's what I said: Britney bukkake - LOL! yeah, I wish there was more space for movies and music, too... because I have way too many favorites of both to fit on my profile. Ok... I am going to check out your diary now. :)

from golfwidow :

No, Scott. Do not inflate the cat.

from yeahimadork :

Hey, I noticed you added me to your favorites, so I just wanted so hi. When I get a chance I look forward to checking out your diary. I can see you like a lot of the same movies and music I do, so I can tell that you have some good taste - plus I'll pretty much kiss the ass of anyone willing to read my crappy diary on a regular basis because I'm a total attention whore. :)

from pulse-tone :

maybe consider a voice-activated tape recorder, if you're most inspired when in a car. i have one, it's pretty helpful.

from golfwidow :

I think I might be a little afraid of The Big Red Nuggets. Though it would be a good name for a rock band.

from connie-cobb :

Thanks for the b-day wish. I guess I am pretty glad it's not 50 & stuck. Hmm. I was just reading death row statistics (Texas) and got all kinds of squeamish. I can't think of anything optimistic to say right now because of it.

from wherwhenwhy :

you are at a safe distance to preach so not to worry, and I know it gets better I just can't figure out why it bothered me so much this time. Cheers and lots of love

from pulse-tone :

This is Love. Did you sign my guestbook today? (3-4). If not, it was one of my brothers, and I should phone him. All it said was "hello."

from wherwhenwhy :

sorry. love

from wherwhenwhy :

There's been alot of articles on them lately owing to the fact that one of them has been missing for ten years. Which is good because every aniversary of his disppearance the whole "cult of Richey" thing will be revived and people will sit up and take notice of them again, and bad because it is very sad if not slightly sick and undermines what the other three have done since. I have slightly mixed views on the subject but band have loved the band since I was an 18 year old agrophobic who sent her father to bed so she could sit sucking lollipops and watching The Word at 11.30 on a Friday night in peace. Oddly I looked forward to Fridays nights back then, it always seemed safer and cheaper than sitting in a pub. Thanks for the tip and I'll see if I and find one. lots of love

from golfwidow :

Come on by. I'll mix up a batch of fizzy-lifting-drinks-and-vanilla-vodka and we can listen to old Bowie.

from wherwhenwhy :

All albums are great, Holy Bible always the best. Generation Terrorists and Gold Against the Soul come up a close second. With Everything must got they change direction and write the new national anthem for the generation, This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours, slightly starting to lose the plot, but the best b-sides ever and very slick videos. Return triumphant with Know your Enemy and the DVD Louder than War (that has to be seen). And then there's the whole greatet hits and rare songs albums that are only interesting to suckers like me. And now there is Lifeblood, which my Dad listens to. He hated the Holy Bible, like the fact they upset alot of people on Top of the Pops but didn't much ike the album. And that is the history of the Manics according to wherwhenwhy, so don't take it as read and do enjoy. lots of love

from golfwidow :

Your cat is wonderful. I love the textures on that photo from fur to screen to feeder.

from wealhtheow :

Hey, thanks for the note--and thanks even more for writing your legislators re: the Cosgrove issue. Glad you enjoy the site!

from golfwidow :

I nearly said "cute kids". Blame the cold medicine. I might as well be hung for a sheep as for a goat.

from iwillsurvive :

Hi, I noticed you listed me on your favs list. Firstly, Thanks for that! Secondly, I'm trying to rally the Diaryland Community to raise $10,000 for the victims of the Tsunami. Please visit my diary for all the details. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

from invisibledon :

happy holidays

from golfwidow :

Happy Christkwaanzukahstice. May you get what you want, and if you can't get what you want, may you get what you need, and if you can't get what you need, may you get whiskey so it doesn't matter anyway.

from wherwhenwhy :

It was more anger than motivation, I motivated myself to buy a flat because I was angry at the people who said I couldn't. But thanks for the compliment and the template looks fine, all I can manage to do is change the colours and I think I've forgotten how to do even that. Lots of love

from weymouth66 :

Cheers. Up the Gunners! :)

from connie-cobb :

Interestingly enough - this is my first stop off at your diary & you mentioned NM, which is where I come from. Hmmm. Match made in diary heaven.

from goingloopy :

Thanks for adding me! :)

from weymouth66 :

From what I've heard, it's going to be Raddy Antic!

from weymouth66 :

Couldn't agree with you more. Harry Redknapp is the only man to manage Pompey. I can't believe all the nonsense that's going on at the club right now - Mandaric needs to wake up and get things sorted ASAP. I will never forgive him if he drives Harry away! We've now lost three matches in a row with the players being unsettled. Keep your fingers crossed for us... Best wishes, Jess

from golfwidow :

I feel the disrespect. I'm thinking of buying some balloons, writing people's names on them, inflating them, and keeping them at my desk. When one of them disses me - pop.

from weymouth66 :

Hi! Thanks for listing me. I share your feelings about the Shrub and fundamentalists - and have no problem with Arsenal :) All the best, Jess

from cufluture :

thanks for the message.

from theyknew :

thanks for the kind words....... ~~~nEo

from hamiltonian :

I did vote for Badnarik in the end. I turn my back on the two corrupt parties. They offer nothing but evil... Two sides of the same coin. I call for non violent protests of the entire federal government. We live in a dictatorship.

from nyquilgirl :

oh, um.. that link scared me. you're ALIVE.

from hamiltonian :

I love your journal

from hamiltonian :

I agree ...KERRY!KERRY!

from cufluture :

Thanks for still reading.

from darkflora :

hi. You're one of the people who still link to my diary. I've moved, and if you'd still like to read my diary, you can find me at cufluture. Thanks for reading darkflora while it was active!

from allisonhazen :

Hey Scott -- RE your 7/14 entry, I'd recommend that you don't do it. I like debauchery as much as the next guy, but divorces aren't fun. Trust me. Besides, it might be more fun to fantasize about your Hermione without acting on it :-) I wish you all the best!

from darkflora :

i appreciate your sense of humor lately.

from golfwidow :

You're right. I am glad I did.

from darkflora :

thanks for the note. I never associated that painting with depression before, but now that you mention it...It will pass,eh? That's a nice thought. Thanks.

from longitude :

venez, scott, venez

from invisibledon :

have a great weekend !!!!

from darkflora :

We actually thought that something probably just got soaked, and we were going to go poke around in the engine tomorrow, so thanks for pointing us to a certain part. There's no way I'm going to pay $1,000 for something that might dry out in a few days. Thanks.

from darkflora :

thanks for the questions.

from meism :

good one! whether created by a higher power or sprung from ooze, He/She/dividing cells got it right the first time. wouldn't man have made a mess of it?! thanks for your comment.

from darkflora :

thanks. I too would like to be inspired by something other than that which pisses me off.

from darkflora :

thanks for reading my diary. I enjoyed looking at your fotolog & through your diary as well. thanks again.

from bettyalready :

and I say "yes, I know what you mean."

from invisibledon :

happy cinco de mayo

from halee :

GWAR was killer! Their skills as musicologists were not evident from their performance (unlike their skills with liquid projectiles).

from golfwidow :

"From Dusk till Dawn". Best Tarantino ever.

from golfwidow :

We'll miss you if you go, but we got your back whatever happens.

from golfwidow :

Thank you for calling me "eclectic" where most think I'm just bizarre. Also, I'd have liked to see Tony Bourdain judging. Not like Jamie Farr on the Gong Show. More like Simon Cowell on American Idol. "You suck. You give food a bad name. Go home and never dirty our dishes again." That would rock.

from voodoolex :

thank you for the encouraging words ... i will get violet's bump removed as soon as i can ... it's just so damn expensive! it cost me $100 just to have the vet poke her a bit and go "um yah .... i think this is what it is, so watch out for it" and that was it. *sigh* i should have been a vet.

from golfwidow :

Do what you need to do to keep your head together, we're here for you when you need us.

from voodoolex :

yah osx still has a few bugs ... i tried doing the whole "all my fonts in one folder" thing, and moved them about and IT DIDN'T WORK!! i ended up having to embed my font on another computer that was running OS9. SAD!

from invisibledon :

amen brother that is my life exactly

from allisonhazen :

It's easier to decide to leave a marriage than to actually do it; but, yeah, I'll give it a year (max) to get better. How have you been lately, anyway? You still owe me a pint, you know ...

from nyquilgirl :

wanting to hear from you

from golfwidow :

It's the weirdest thing: I consider myself a lightweight, but I've no chundertales about beer.

from brewreviews :

Sorry about the bad experience you had with the Abbot. I feel your pain: once you've had one scary beer encounter, you never want to touch it again, no matter what caused the original scariness.

from laura-diane :

thank you for adding me to your list of favorites. i hope you continue to read.

from invisibledon :

Happy Holidays -2003

from allisonhazen :

Thanks, ska-t. Your note made me feel a LITTLE less like Peggy Bundy... all my love, ally.

from golfwidow :

I read a review once that said the beer smelled like "old books" and, while I like the smell of old books, it doesn't make me thirsty. P.S. 6Weasels' niece described someone as smelling like "barfed-up feet" once and I'm saving that for the next time I have a nasty beer.

from golfwidow :

Almost right. Effed-up knees equals no more clutch, so I don't manual-shift anymore.

from invisibledon :

Happy Halloween 03

from allisonhazen :

Hey there...long time, no chat. I switched jobs and lost your email address in the process. When you get a chance, email me. I'm now at [email protected]. Best, Al.

from golfwidow :

Ack. A killing frost. You could lose your pony in that kind of weather.

from neko-carre :

Ack! I had to lock. Send me an email at [email protected] for the passwords. (Yes, I'm THAT paranoid, I don't even want to post them here.) Sorry, it's a pain in the ass, believe me.

from peth :

makes you wanna move your dancing feet, hey.

from invisibledon :

Have a great holiday weekend 8/29/03

from xoxotoe :

s-k-a skaaaa! t, i have hotmail IM: [email protected] i bet you have jimmy cliff singing in your head. i've been around the world to see what's new...visit canada, new york and then peru, wanted to show the world jamaica national sound, believe me people the ska is all around (and so i'm singin ska all over the world....)

from bettyalready :

Oh SUPERBAD! Well, Ok. I'm good.

from golfwidow :

Bit of a goat rodeo, trying to find Fast Show round here. It's not currently airing on BBC America and I can't seem to find DVDs that would fit a Yankee machine. What's a girl to do? Suggestions?

from golfwidow :

It's changed greatly; most of that area is either very urban or very industrial now. But yeah. Small funny world, innit.

from golfwidow :

Have you never had eel at all? The Japanese restaurants up here make frequent use of it(though I've never had it Vietnamese-style) and they make it into sushi. I love eel.

from golfwidow :

Just rock on. That lasts if nothing else does. Rock. On.

from invisibledon :

yeah dude it is a lot like a walk in hell - she isn't a very happy camper why I'm not sure

from peth :

I'm like a stepping razor, you know.

from xoxotoe :

no, i'm not stalking you from the photo blog... but you are tres interessant! i adore the jamaican ska (can't get into the english ska stuff)and rock steady. lee perry much? i do! i saw toots in '97, i was too chicken to get up close! star-struck and stupid!!! wah! ok, done rambling now, irie!

from bettyalready :

Thanks much for the comment man. I'm havin a strange sort of day...it's hard to take the high road sometimes....ok. A lot. But I try my hardest and it's not always hard.

from invisibledon :

ah ok I got it (the face) very cool did you take the photo?

from neko-carre :

(The guestbook said "Oops, you can't sign again this fast. Considering the last time I signed it was, what, a few weeks ago? I think that's a little severe, don't you?) Anyway... as I was saying your guestbook... Why is it that Grandmas always have the best metaphors? I can't wait to see mine again so that she can send me in to fits of giggles with her clever analogies.

from nyquilgirl :

I want to write something to you that would express how I feel about the things you've been writing to me. But I can't. I want to say thank you, I want to say I'm glad you found me, I want to say I feel connected to you, but they don't do my feelings justice. Your words have meant so much to me. Merci, chere. Mille de bisous.

from dasauce :

Hrm. I have a Juvie Diabetic Sister who has taken a different route. She ignores her insulin somedays, and has ended up in a coma twice, ignores proper food other days and often ends up out on the floor for her (now thirteen year old) daughter to call the ambulance yet again, and has a dangerous fuck/knife-wielding/drunk husband who she will live with until the day he offs her or she manages to make the final mistake with her diabetes. I'm so sorry, Senor. And there is nothing that one can do to help another human with their own demons. No matter how hard we tried at one point or another. Best, and yeah. The seatbelt is fastened, and the ride is weird so far... But, I continue to grin. No reason not to... I'm pretty fond of this life thing. DatSaucePersonWhoIsAlsoRick

from dasauce :

Drive by comment, O' Faved Human. I hope you pressed play on something fun. Cause you could have hit play on some new Celine Dion Thing And Blown Up Your Equipment. Or you could have been talking in Janglish and meant to say something about The Shrub's Suggestion Lately that the Press Pray. Asshole. Secular Government. I gotta rant soon. But, I'm believing that it was music... like some Satchmo Skat Mixed With An Old Madness Tune. Random Drive By Comment Ends O' Fave'd Human. Bestest, SauceOfUselessNoises

from dasauce :

Aye, and brings new perspective to the word Vicarage. PS. Eeewwww! PPSSSssst? Remind me to tell my story of being trapped in an airport in Nice, Fr. with the Cronkite Cardinal Who Runs Pope TeeVee. I had such a good time asking innane shit that I always wanted to ask about the Vatican, the Papacy, et al, and the guy just rocked. He was totally digging it for the five hours we talked and ended up having dinner and on. From Philly No Less, and The Voice Of The PopeMobile. What a guy. Bye.

from dasauce :

Ooh. Thanks for bringing that up, as I have wanted to comment about your Stephen Donaldson Ref in your profile but keep spacing it. The other thing that S.D. stands for? Catholic Guilt. Deeply.

from dasauce :

Yep. Frigging Calvinists... They are our genetic and hysterical ancestry. And yes, my nuts and I are not happy every time we think of Weasel. DatSauceGuy

from nyquilgirl :

J'ai pratiqu� mes Fran�ais. M'�crire et m'appelle cherie encore.

from invisibledon :

ARGH snow I'm tired of it as well especially being that I have no time to ski

from marn :

Heeeeee. My daughter's cat, the aptly named Trouble, also has a toilet paper fetish. Leave even a millimeter hanging down from the roll so the cat can hook it and you can pretty much count on the apartment being gaily festooned with white streamers. Ah, the joys of cat ownership, eh?

from invisibledon :

Happy Valentines Day

from marn :

I'll be laughing all day about that kitty litter story.

from marn :

Oh, yeesh, I know what you mean about finding Recognizable Bits o' Animal in puke. Lily, our late, lamented mighty hunter of a cat would do that once or twice a summer. She was pretty considerate about it, though, and mostly left her partially digested victims outside. Ah, the joys of having cats, eh?

from hermitage :

sloth is lovely.

from bettyalready :

I missed your birthday??? How shitty of me! Happy Birthday dudes!

from bettyalready :

1/4 inch deep? You gotta be kidding me. My last child was suctioned out and she had a little headache for a day or so. She got pretty mad if a person touched her head. I can't imagine forceps. I love the smell of cedar myself. Lately I've been (ahem) smoking under a large cedar in my parents yard. I figure if trees clean the air it's gotta suck that smoke right up...

from allisonhazen :

Happy Birthday, chief! Was yours the 26th or the 27th?

from marn :

You make your own beer, eh? I'd call you a hoser, but that shows way, way more ambition that most hosers can muster :) Mmmmmmmm, homebrew. Mmmmmm.

from miss-edith :

Hee hee hee. That's me laughing at your note. Hee hee hee. That's me laughing some more. Hee hee hee. I guess I should just wrap this up now.

from marn :

That "most flatulent time of the year" line made me laugh out loud. Good Lord, Moose Jaw is so insanely cold I'm amazed she lived to tell the tale. OF COURSE you can consider yourself genetically Canadian. The real proof is, of course, if you find yourself saying "eh" for no good reason whatsoever.

from chadmuska :

i like your user name

from marn :

Heeee. Bio-annoyance it is, then :)

from marn :

I hadn't considered the use of biological warfare! Ah, the possibilities ...

from invisibledon :

Thanks for adding me to your fave list and Happy New Year

from hermitage :

do not worry, my friend. it is college or university radio.

from hermitage :

a rut?

from caterwaul :

i was about to email you to tell you to get a guestbook til i realized you have notes turned on. hah. something about you seems so familiar whenever i read. xo heather

from sixweasels :

Oh, man, the bird in the house thing. My family wasn't overly superstitious, but the story went that my great-aunt had a bird fly into her kitchen the day her brother died, so that one stuck when others got shrugged off as "old country yarns." Back in college, I came home to find a bird in our basement. While my then-fiance' and our roomie were chasing down the bird (a big, black crow of all things), I answered the ringing phone. It was one of my best friends from high school. I was thrilled ... he was in the Marines and hadn't been home in forever. But he was calling to tell me his mom had just passed away. Yeah, the bird thing always gives me chills.

from haritari :

Man, sounds like adventures in Suckfest. I wish I had a solution for you. Best I can do is wish you luck!

from sixweasels :

I'll never get sick of notes here. This is a strange breed of writing to me, when I don't want family or even a co-worker to grab a beer and have a read. But yet, I've never been good at the paper journal thing either. I need reaction from something besides my own head. Yelling across the mountain and only hearing your echo shouting back at you is only fun when you're drunk. You're right, the connections made in this world are different, but no less real. Thanks for shouting back.

from haritari :

Thanks for the explanation. My vote is MemoirNoir. Although now that I know what "Man From a Foreign" means, it sounds to me like a perfect title.

from sixweasels :

That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger ... just don't let it leave too many scars. Evil thoughts, they can keep you going or kick you in the ass, can't they?

from haritari :

Stop me if this is a stupid question....man from a foreign what?

from sixweasels :

Don't sweat it if the next one isn't short and positive. What's a diary for, anyway, if not to keep our heads from exploding?

from haritari :

I like meandering entries like yours. Also, sounds like you need to get laid, not to put too fine a point on it, nor to imply that I take lightly the misery when marital harmony takes a vacation. Disclaimers over. Keep writing. I dig your stuff.

from sixweasels :

Glad to have found your slice of D-land. I'm hooked. But man, that Hairy Tongue site. Looking at it and hearing yourself laugh sort of makes you want to take a shower.
