Weekend at Bernie's



Oh yeah baby! Spent a good part of my Saturday in Berrnie's Woodshed. Nothing like spending your Saturday at the legislature. I could not have imagined a more pleasurable day. I think I'm back in there this afternoon too.













And, despite the craziness of the last couple weeks, I had to take it easy Saturday night. Friday night gave me more "Carson City" than I ever imagined. I met this great guy at Club Vu in the Carson Nugget. He was a methamphetamine dealer named Jethro. His lovely meth addict girlfriend Geraldine found a way to combine meth, roofies and Red Bull and literally stood like that staring at Jethro for 3 hours. I think the first Vanilla Ice cd was just released in Carson City this Spring. The DJ just could not get enough of Vanilla Ice Friday night.







Despite all the fun I'm having, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's either daylight, or a train coming to take me out of my misery. Josh still seems to think we may finish early, even if it's only a few hours early. That's fine with me!

progress



I'm a happy smurfette now that my HOA bill looks to be out of purgatory. We went to conference and frankly, I expected it to explode. But....it lasted 2+ hours and we hashed it all our differences out. I got 90% off my stuff included. Pretty good since I figured the whole bill was going die.

Yipeeeeeeeee....

I am happier today, but also bored.

Ok, JMF, I may not be genuinely friendly, but I think I'm a good person. ...right?

I'm looking forward to dinner with JMF and FOA and SSN. Like geniuinely excited for it. I easily tire of people, which is why I don't go out and socialize every freaking night like some of my colleagues. Also, because I have a dog and a girlfriend who will always like me more than the myriad fakey fake lobbyists who I hang out with here in town.

Anyway, tonight I get to go out with people I actually enjoy, JMF and FOA, and SSN who I'd probably like if I'd spent more than a few seconds talking to her but honestly I don't know her that well at all. And I get to go to Glen Eagle's, where I haven't been since the NSA reception earlier in the year. There are only, say, two things on the menu I can eat but they're tasty. Plus we can get wine.

Anyway, I'm excited for that. Also, I've got a party coming up on the 5th of June, the day after session supposedly ends, in the evening at the Brew House. A lot of people have RSVP'd already. People I haven't seen in a while because of legislative session.

AND my new phone showed up at the house already today. When the lease is there, I'm going to go and pick them both up and spend my afternoon doing paperwork and such. Fun Times!

Annie and Urkel

So, I forgot to mention that I met Annie. And while I haven't met the special friend . . . or fiance (which I'm assuming based on my instinctual recognition of the presence of a ring on the specified finger) of FOA, I did see him . . . I think . . . from behind . . . in committee one day. I wasn't paying much attention to him but later Liane asked if I saw him, and I said no, and she said he was sitting right in front of you, and I said ok, well I remember there being a guy I didn't know sitting in front of me but I wasn't checking him out or anything. So anyway, I think I've at least seen him. This all makes me sad and lonely. I think I may go back to Urkel. I should stop calling her Urkel. Her name is Constance (or Connie, or Jeannie, or Cee Cee, or CJ). She's been acting right lately. Dating sucks.

I Hate Everything Too

I'm sick of Carson City. I'm sick of the Carson Plaza. I'm sick of Mary Henderson living above me with her husband and two dogs (actually, I never hear them really but I'm still sick of it). I'm sick of being told things that only Carson Citonians believe like "black babies don't bruise" or "your people don't know prejudice like my white ancestors do." I'm pretty sick of law enforcement mocking me about racial profiling as if I'm a race monger when in actuality, they are mostly bully, ignorant red necks who know profiling exists but can't quite see why its wrong. Ladies and gentleman, I am Grumpy Smurf.


With all that said, I am thrilled to have been a part of this whole circus. It will be painfully difficult to go back to my normal job. It will NOT be painfully difficult to move back home to my house where my mother does not live. It will NOT be painfully difficult to spend some time with the doggies. It will NOT be painfullyh difficult to go to Rosarito with the fellas or on a cruise to Mexico. Well, it might be painful at times, but it will be fun.

I think I want to run for office. No, I know I want to someday. Just not sure when or where. You can't . . . well, I can't just partipate from an arm's distance and not want to dive in deeper. WHAT AM I SAYING? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?? I'm in hell and I'm talking about intentionally moving to the more hot part of hell. It's a sickness people, a sickness.

By the way, FOA, buy some of those stylish classical dancer shoes and you will smile all the time. Well, they weren't exactly stylish . . . nor classical. . . . and I don't think she was even really a dancer. . . and you will probably frown while wearing them . . . nevermind. The thought was funny for a second.

I love Hazel the lobbyist. I don't know where that came from. I don't even know her. But she just walked by. I've heard she's pretty anti man. Not lesbian, but anti man, bitter, angry, Stella hasn't gotten her grove back yet, diary of an angry black woman kind of anti man. You know, the whole "to the left, to the left" Biance bandwagon sort of thing.

Joe Turco is a moron I think. He just wandered onto the floor, presumably not wearing his tag so the police didn't recognize it and tackle him like the dufus he is. That would have been fun to watch. Anyway, he went to speak with Munford, knocked Munford's sign on to his desk, spilled his coffee on Munford's newspaper, kept talking while Munford scrambled to not get coffee on himself, and then walked away waving like he was a friggin prom queen. A moron, I think.

What is Orenschall always doing that he's in a hurry with lots of things in his hands, sweating? I love the guy. Afterall, he's a lawyer in training, and he goes to Boyd, and to be honest, even when he was mad at me for something the county made me do, he has been super nice to me. He's just always in a hurry. I guess he's just got stuff to do and we need to not get in his way. He's about the most genuinely nice guy I've ever known.

No offense DTS. You're not genuinely nice. Nor am I, although I can manage to give that impression easier than you. By the way, speaking of being genuinely nice, DTS helped a brutha out when he was flustered today. I felt like a 2nd grader having his hand held while being walked to the little boys room. It helped though . . . thanks!

Wait, I'm supposed to be Grumpy Smurf. I have a headache, and have an increasingly hard time getting up in the morning. It could be wine at D'Vine's every other night. I'm starting to despise that place too. ARGHHH! The same ol places every other day! It's killing me. I can sum it up in one word.

BALLS.
