god bless for the return of my upper abdominal muscles. or rather -- 10 mile a day bicycle commute bless for the return of my upper abdominal muscles. sub-titty is just worst place to have chub.

this past saturday was a sad, sad day for the bear. she got her doggie time of the six months and she was miserable. as was my couch because of the stain she left on it. anthony and i were left with no choice but to buy her doggie underpants, seeing how we moved into a new place with nice new carpets and some new furniture. the poor thing looks so pathetic in them. don't be fooled by the cheerful demeanor of the dog in the photograph. DOGS DO NOT LIKE WEARING DIAPERS WITH MAXI PADS IN THEM. trust me.

corey just got me all excited because he said that he too has a doppelganger. then he told me this:

a legato drone: she was wearing campers. i wear campers. she was earing a red shirt. i was wearing a red shirt. she was wearing a zip up black sweater, i was wearing a zip up black sweat shirt, she had a bettie page picture on her notebook, i own a pornographic betty page book, she was reading pfc, i was reading pfc.

she's not your doppelganger, corey. you both just have BAD TASTE!

i learned something interesting today about the bill paying techniques of philadelphia's mayor john street. well, not exactly.

apparently the city of philadelphia has its healthcare account with independence blue cross. from literally the month that john street took office, not a single bill has been paid in a timely fashion. and people wonder why the philadelphia school systems are so poorly run. i just find it hard to believe because the city tax takes more out of my paycheck than the fucking state tax. last time i checked the state was a whole hell of a lot bigger and more demanding than one city. still the combined taxes are less than what was taken out of my checks in new jersey so i guess i can't really complain.

in reference to my doppelganger:

j drew thiemann: so, yikes!
j drew thiemann: find out who she is and send her a letter.
j drew thiemann: an ANONYMOUS letter..
j drew thiemann: like, no return address
oh no disaster: with just a polaroid of me in it?
oh no disaster: that would be CREEEEEEEEEEEPY
j drew thiemann: YESS

riddle me this, batman: if 20+ people are interested in a metafilter post, but roughly 5 complain about it, is that link worthy of metafilter's front page??

how many SUPERTRAMP SONGS can one radio station play in a single day? apparently, three so far...

according to louis, i happen to have a doppelganger who is lurking about the new brunswick campus of rutgers. apparently he is not the first to have mistaken her for me. last time i had a doppelganger, she looked nothing like me and was about 40 lbs heavier than i am. and 4 inches shorter. good god, is that what i look like to people?

so the hunt is on.....doppelganger, i'm coming for you!

no, actually -- it's kind of creepy because apparently she knows who i am, and has the same glasses, hair and clothing style as i do. ganking my style and shit. GANKING!

hi, ok. i am going to act my age for a moment. i got all excited to try and make my first link post at metafilter thinking "wow, finally messageboard-type forum that ISN'T filled with morons". and i still believe that it isn't full of morons, but i READ their guidelines, i did everything that the stupid page asks you to do before you decide to post a link, and i did it. for once i did what i was told and i STILL got flamed. i mean, give me a fucking break. i posted a somewhat helpful link regarding verizon's dsl service and now all the powers that be are crying like cranky hungry babies. give me a break!
apparently it's OK to post links to like, a picture of a cartoon but something that might be helpful or affect someone's lifestyle ISN'T ok. i'll admit, the thread got out of hand because i don't even know what the hell these people are talking about anymore. i just want dsl or cable with a static fucking ip address! sorry for thinking someone else might want that too!

i'd have posted it here, but i know that like tom, corey, graeme, william and nazli [the only people who read this blog - hi guys!] aren't interested. and i would post it to punkforum but you and i both know that no one there would have any useful input outside of "POST NOODZ". or i'd get a mysql error, like i do every five minutes.

WHY IS THERE NO SAFE HAVEN ON THE INTERNET, I ASK YOU!

i think i may have realized something very important about myself today. i am only funny/clever while commenting off the cuff on topics. ie: in conversation etc... therefore, this blog shows my very worst side: conversation with myself. this is why i need friends.

not that i DON'T have friends, per se. it's just some people like TOM who are so busy galavanting about the continent and making out with girls to spend a second of his damn precious time with me. he managed to pencil me in sunday during the microphones show. THANK YOU TOM THAT IS WONDERFUL.

once when i was in 7th grade, my spanish class had a party. this was right after the superbowl when they had the big commercial blitz for CLEAR PEPSI. one of my classmates brought it for the party and my friend wes and i hogged the entire bottle. it gave us both horrendous gas and we farted for the rest of the party. then wes dared me to stick my hand in the front pocket of his jeans and i wouldn't do it.

remember the clear pepsi?
