Looking for doctor in LA with Saturday hours. I would see a mob doctor or veterinarian. Not picky.
excellent! This a great use of a new technology! You are communicating with many friends at once. twitter makes crowd-sourcing information so easy and user friendly!
speaking of crowd sourcing!

Twitter crowd-sourced their bird! EVIL: http://tinyurl.com/btjmkd
this is another thing you can do. tuffy is reporting interesting news to people that use the very service the news is about. That’s pretty neat. He also has kept people abreast of his hit & run since it’s actually interesting and a detail of concern for people who know him.
Cosi did *exactly* what the potential of twitter gives us

Happy Hour at La Cita at 6pm. Be there. That means YOU.
Holy cow! A useful fucking tweet! It tells me what my friend is doing and gives me the ability to catch up and see them. The only other thing that ive seen this useful is KogiBBQ telling people where their taco truck is. how fucking cool is that? Imagine if all tweets were this useful!
but sadly they aren’t.

Up! Getting on the bike to work. Need coffee
ok…i suppose that’s what you’re doing today. but….um….i don’t know how to care. Not that i don’t *love* fej. I love that man and don’t see him enough…or ever. But I don’t get the use of this. Is this something you would text your friends? can you imagine waking up and having a text from Fej saying that? And you’d write back “…..ok?” What is the fucking point.
You’re answer is going to be that this way i can follow what my friends are doing. NO! If something’s doing, I can talk to my friends! and they should talk to me! if we aren’t close enough to talk, really why the fuck should we care what each other are doing all fucking day?
but wait! it gets worse!

meh
meh!!! MEH!!! You’re wasting the fucking internet! We have one of the greatest social tools ever made at our disposal and you wanted to tell all who take the time out of their day to listen: meh.
if you don’t have something useful to say, just wait until you do. don’t twitter because you’re bored. don’t twitter because you want attention. twitter because you have something to share with the group. You’re not getting paid by the tweet so put your twinkle down and relax.
did we learn anything today?
good.
please twitter responsibly.

How I did it: I got a real physical from my doctor. he said i weighed 151. Soon afterwards, i peed. I figure that took me to 150.
I thought i was a little farther off than that. And truly this goal was involved in the arbitrary 150 number so completing it, although it feels good, mostly it was just strange. I thought of resetting this goal to a few pounds lighter, but i’ve decided that i don’t give two craps about how hard the earth is pulling on my mass.
Sadly I also found out that i was about an inch shorter than i thought.
Lessons & tips: Go to your doctor.
It made me lovely 
by the way, i totaled my car.
so now this entry just means “don’t use ANY car. for 6 days a week for 3 weeks.” I wonder if i should modify it further or give some reason to this arbitrary number.
How I did it: I wanted to be Greenman (from Always Sunny in Philadephia). So I searched all around online and ended up finding the outfit at a chinese fetish website for zentais.
Ordered it. And bam!
People at the parties either loved it or didn’t get it. And people who didn’t get it were even more curious why everyone was running up to me highfiving screaming “GREENMAN!”. or often making me sing Day Man with them.
Lessons & tips: Basically just pick a costume early and commit to it. I know you have 1000 good ideas. Just pick any one, perhaps one that is topical since you know that it won’t work next year. And then go for it. And try to never think about your other costume options again.
This outfit ended up selling out a few weeks before halloween. I’m very VERY pleased i ordered it as early as i did
And oh yeah. Girls: There are more options then just a slutty _______. That’s how you should dress everyday. Make halloween special.
Resources: Frank put 6 tabs of acid in my beer.
I’m sad that i can’t figure out how to make 43 things crosspost this right now.
oh well

I’ve ordered this. I won’t consider this goal complete though until i know how cool, breathable and transparent this outfit is. yay halloween!
or perhaps some cool visas to other rad countries?
or perhaps staying at some traveler hostels in LA?
or perhaps just being ready if the shit hits the fan on November 4th?
Fuck yeah

Maybe there are more. but this is what i can remember. I better get to watching.
I’m in Tennessee for 3 weeks. I’m cutting an indie horror movie! YAY! 8 years working towards this. Obviously, there will be more entries about this.
On father’s day, i took my dad out for dim sum. After a bit I told him that I had tattoos for a while now and it was really bugging me that i had to wear long sleeves around him. And I asked if he were ok with seeing them. And he was absolutely fine. He actually liked them. He said I was no longer under his roof and I could do whatever i wanted. This made me so happy.
Next time i saw him, I was with Katie. He excitedly asked me if I had any more tattoos he could see. I said no. And said “aw shucks!” and turned to katie and said “Last time i saw him he showed me his tattoos and it made him so happy. I wish I could always make him that happy just by looking at something.”
I love my dad. He’s fucking amazing.
I guess this opens the door for me to get Poincare’s homology sphere tattooed on me. If i could just figure out what to get to represent my mom…
