Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark… he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be living… until he bites ya,

Well.  Now he’s got a shiner to go with his doll eye.

Clues everywhere.  Assistants leaving, friend of a friend in the front office said, etc.

Ah well.  Glad he didn’t cry.

Thanks Nancy! January 20, 2007

I’m so glad the Democrats are finally turning things around.

Happy Days are indeed here again.

I’m sure that windbag O’Reilly will claim partial credit.

Jack Whittaker won $315 million ($114 after taxes) in 2002.

He’s had a few problems since then.  Among them:

Granddaughter died from a drug overdose.

Arrested for drunken driving, ordered into rehab.

Being sued for bouncing checks at Atlantic City casinos.

Being sued by the father of an 18 year old boy (granddaughter’s friend) found dead in Whittaker’s house.

And now says he can’t pay a settlement to a female casino worker (who claims he assaulted her) because thieves cleaned out his bank account.

A whole lotta people want to sue this guy.

So my problems really don’t seem all that bad.

Guitar amp.

I’m sick of this Spider II.  I hate it.  Grrrr.  Too metal-ly.

I need something mellow, with some trem. I can buy distortion.

I need something Dave.

Guitarists.  Offer me your brains.  Put me some f’n’ knowledge here.

UPDATE:  I should elaborate a bit on my needs.

Combo.  Doesn’t need to be a monster – I mike it.

Tube = good.

I was gonna say price is no object.  Well that’s retarded.  Price is an object, but I’m not on a terribly tight budget.

We’re off! January 15, 2007

7:23.  Uh, bad things are happening.  Very bad things.

7:28.  Sand Canyon Road.

I’ve been on that highway.

Ach.  Dad called.  I have no idea what’s going on.  That husband guy beat the crap outta that other guy.

Otherwise, what the hell is going on.

LESSONS IN LEADERSHIP.

Bill expresses dismay at our performance.

WE HAVE TO STOP SUCKING.

carry on

CONTINUITY CHECK

The President was wearing a striped tie.

Until the close ups.

Sloppy sloppy.

He’s gonna kill the kid?

Terrorists suck.  You may quote me.

351 Old Mill Road.  Valencia?

351?  What writer went crazy with that?  Sheesh.

Holy shite.  A nuke.

So does freedom Tom

Ok, a shot at Malkin’s book.  Hmmm

They were right.  Chloe’s cute.  If she doesn’t pout in the next hour and a half, I will hate her more.

07:15.  Jack is quite hirsute.  He’s been silent.

Grill’s off.  Lemon pepper marinade chicken.  Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Jack, the terrorists demand your death.  Fuckers.
