No Wrest for the Wicked

That title means nothing. Spending an entire weekend in town means I get to go to sleep tonight feeling more worn out than usual. Fun.

- Sensing a need to change the scene a bit, I took Friday night and ventured to the downtown scene for a bit. The highlight was taking the CTA on a weekend night. I saw two(2) drunk kids vomiting on the platforms and on the way into downtown, I watched a guy my age confront a high school-aged punk because the kid had a skinhead/nazi punk band painted on his jacket. It would have been funny to see violence, but my stop came up. I wonder how that panned out.

- I skipped their show on Friday, but I picked up their album. If you like side-projects with songs that sound exactly like the artist's main band (Broken Social Scene), you'll like this one.

- Rest in Peace, Old Dirty Bastard.

- Last night featured a circular route of 3.5 miles of walking: from my house to a show back to a houseparty by my house. I witnessed the fitness almost every day this week. I should be that guy who always wears a gym suit.

- Yuppie populated bars are still overrated in my book. The drinks are expensive and you have to tip a guy for handing you paper towels. I watched my friend tell a story to an audience of trixies the entire saga of how he hooked up with a random 31-year-old psycho. Later in the night, he told me that he wanted to 'get with' one the listeners. I'm not sure how his night ended up, but I guess telling women about past sexual transgressions can score you points...Somehow.

- Last's week aquarium purchase wiped out my native population. So much for that one.

- You get buy broccoli crowns at normal broccoli price if you use the self-checkout line at Jewel. Get your moneys worth until they check up on you. I mean...it's an honest mistake, right?

- The football Badgers lost, the football Packers won, and the Bucks won a game and lost a game. Everything offsets this weekend. End result = indifference.
