WORLD WITHOUT STINGING INSECTS

  • Atleti was on the ass end of an ass kicking as Barcelona rolled them 3 -1 on three goals by Lionel Messi, arguably the best player in the world. For my money, he is. The return leg of this Copa del Rey match is next week at Camp Nou. It just gets worse and worse.

  • To celebrate my two years of teaching, i am giving the people what they want; an article about the effect of cocaine on bees. Sounds like a nightmare! I fucking hate bees.

Who in the name of hell gets the budget approved for these things! People are starving all over the country but we fund a guy who gets his jollies out of coking up bees! They put it an eyedropper in liquid form and drop it on the bee's back. I am completely frigging serious here. It's in the NY Times! They say it has the same effect on bees as humans. Who cares? We know what it does to humans!!! Did you think it was going to be something different for bees? Hey, it makes you hyper and aggressive. Let's give it to some stinging insects! That's just brilliant. I have no doubts that we will be our own demise.

  • My boss, Lyndsay Buckingham, is leaving PLT. It's a shame because she was a great boss and easy to work with. She thanked me for being one of her best teachers, which was sweet. We'll stay in touch but i'll miss working with her. And she has the coolest name ever.

  • It's 2009. It's sounds like a joke. Like the year apes take over the planet in one of those sequels!

  • It's -2 C at 22:00. That's unheard of here. We've been hit with a blast of cold air from Siberia. Fucking Ruskies. First Putin cuts back the gas for Europe, now freezing air. Can't we all just get along?

  • The band is practicing tonight (Summer in Raincoats) so it'll be good to have all the boys back together. Band B practices next Friday.

  • Back to normal. The holidays are great but it gets kind of disorienting after two weeks.

  • There are times in his life when a man just needs to sit down and eat a whole chicken. Like last night.

  • Fucking Siberia! It is so cold. But the stars are amazing on the terrace. Until frostbite kicks in.

  • I got a new winter coat. It's a long black wool one. They have great sales this time of year (Rebajas). My leather jacket started peeling last year after i got it dry cleaned. I got it cleaned after Guinness, Rebound Girl's cat, peed on it. Cause and Effect. Cause and Effect. So i needed a new jacket for work and all. It's really nice, made in Portugal, and it was pretty cheap for such a nice coat. A long coat will come in handy. I spend a lot of time outdoors walking from place to place.
