It begins again. I’m on-call today through Sunday, 09.07.08. Release from agony comes Monday, 09.08.08. Running off with BeerDiabla to the Addison Flying Saucer for some beer, I need to celebrate Labor Day with some cheap pints. Now to try to drink and hump until the machines call me to say they’re broken…

"You look like a man that doesn't want to be here today", remarked an observant co-worker this morning. Asian BeerDiabla and I hung out yesterday and hit up the un-intentional Lesbian bar, although we found heteros to be in the majority on this visit. $4 u-call-it meant import beers while playing 80’s classic arcade games. Poor Asian BeerDiabla tried to keep pace with me on the beer front. Looking...

Asian BeerDiabla and I kept Sunday unholy and I’m still recharging. Fatigue left me a tad angry and I thought perhaps a beer or two on Tuesday would help usher in a better mood. A text message came in around 7pm. Assurbanipaul: Covey Crew night, $1.50 for 20oz mugs, half price pizza. I was already home but had I known, I would’ve headed over there after work. There were new beers...

BeerDiabla cleaned out her closet and gave me a pack of party poppers. [3x fast] Loki-ing it over, these devices didn’t have much destructive capability. Nope, not infernal enough. In order to use them, they must have some use for deviance or hijinx; I have standards you know? Plus, the Turquoise God must be appeased. Faster than you can say Xiuhtecuhtli, it occurred to me. This...

BeerDiabla’s father passed away about three years ago. She interviewed him prior to that in order to have family history recorded. I found out they were made on micro cassette with no back-up copies. I offered to convert the tapes to digital – wav & mp3. You never know what’s going to happen to those little bitty tapes –crush/kill/destroyed by housepets, people fumbling around in the dark,...

Friday the 13 th provided a great opportunity for the monthly “Trailer Park Date Night” with BeerDiabla at a club called “Double Wide”. This dive openly embraces white trash chic. They even play tornado related videos non-stop on the lounge TV’s. Hanging from the ceiling are a dozen umbrellas, while the wood paneled walls have animal heads. Tonight there were a ton of badly tattooed roller...

BeerDiabla & I are making plans for this Friday the 13th; see below.

Further continuation of my trip to the Choctaw Casino in Durant, Oklahoma with BeerDiabla for some gambling fun and DQ treats. “Oh, I know the way”, said BeerDiabla. It’s been proven both historically and scientifically that men are bad about stopping and asking for directions. Guess what? Women can be too. Since I had a new vehicle without permanent plates, it seemed...

Saturday, BeerDiabla and I went up to the Choctaw Casino in Durant, Oklahoma for some gaming fun and DQ treats. The town’s population is about 15,000. Driving through the town it would seem more like 5,000, if that. I’m going to break this entry up over the next few days, as it’s a long one. No matter where or what casino you’re at, you’re going to see a lot of the same things. It’s always...

I think BeerDiabla is much prettier than me. Better eyebrows too. I'm sooo jealous.
