Inside The Perimeter

That’s what it cost to fill my tank yesterday morning before the price of gas went up again! Helloooooo Marta. Sure, it will cost me $3.50 a day (if I don’t buy a pass or a roll of tokens) but that’s still cheaper than the price of gas and tolls for a thirty-eight mile round trip.

The Phone Has Voice Mail, Use It!
Look, if you are going to call my cellphone at 11pm at night please have the courtesy to leave a message. Even if you misdialed go ahead and say “Sorry, I have the wrong number.” If you don’t, and I don’t have your number programmed into my phone, I might feel compelled to return the call at 3am.

I like closure. I understand that it’s probably some recessive gene that I possess, but those of you who don’t need closure should be courteous enough to understand that there are people out there who do.

Walk Like An Egyptian To An Egytpian Baseball Game
It’s about an hour’s walk from my house to Turner Field. I consider it to be a safe walk, at least when done with someone else. It never fails however that as soon as I am walking alone some stranger asks me for something as if I am The Great Provider. Two blocks from my house a woman asked me for a smoke. When I said “Sorry.” and started to walk away she angrily said “All I was asking for was a cigarette.” to which I turned around and replied in a similarly angry tone “I don’t smoke! SORRY!” and kept walking. I am getting fed up by people who ask me for something and then give me attitude when I say no (especially since I politely say “sorry”).

Last night my friend Glenn (who also lives in my hood) walked to the game where we met up with the majority of the Meet The Hashers.

We met up at the Bull Pen (that restaurant/bar just to the west side of the stadium) where I had my one and only beer for the evening. Around the sixth inning I substituted the desire for another beer for ice cream because Chris brought one back to the seats and it looked so good that I had to get my own. The best line uttered all night was when Glenn looked at me eating ice cream (with cookie dough no less) and said “I think I know why ‘twenty by forty’ failed.” True dat.

Braves lost 3-2. W00t! There was a surprisingly small crowd present at the game. That’s kind of a shame because the Braves field a very entertaining team.

Vegas Keeps Rearing It’s Ugly Head
I’ve started listening to a new podcast called Five Hundy By Midnight which claims to be the original Las Vegas podcast. On the only edition that I have heard the guy referenced a pretty cool Vegas website called Vegas Today And Tomorrow. My favorite part of the site is the “Dreams” section that talks about concepts which were bandied about but never came to fruition.

It Didn’t Look Good, You Really Shoulda Seen Her

It’ll Be Like Running On Clouds
Unlike Maigh, I don’t like running in the rain. I don’t fear that I will melt, I fear that I will swell up like a spinge.

With daunting skies I headed to Big Peach Running Company (a bigger blurb by yours truly about them here) and purchased these beauts

They are called the Gel Cumulus. How dreamy…

Apparently they were designed by former Apple Industrial Engineers, the ones who designed this

Local Nerd Buys Compact Refrigerator Vows Never To Leave Office
After Sunday’s poolside Drink-O-Rama I headed to Lowe’s (you know, the one in the shopping center that I swore I wouldn’t support) for more Katrina fortifications. I had just enough liquid energy in me to finally buy a compact refrigerator for the office.

Let’s see, that makes refrigerator, coffee pot, rice/veggie steamer, blender; all I am missing is a microwave and a pillow and I’d have a $1500 a month apartment in Manhattan right in my office!

Local Nerd Then Vows To Use Camera Phone For Good, Not Evil
I am tired of going to a grocery store and getting screwed at the register (is this like getting fucked at the drivethrough?). This morning I stopped by a Publix on my way into work to pick up rations for the new refrigerator. While there I noticed that something was “Buy One, Get One Free”. Shame on me for not checking the receipt at the register (which is such a pain in the ass when you have to fight to prove your correctness). In the future I think that I’ll snap a shot of the shelf tag as proof that I am getting screwed by The Man.

CD Day!!
Need some new tunes for your Labor Day car trip?

Well, the major label release from Death Cab For Cutie called “Plans” drops today. Buy it, and then tell your friends that you’ve been a fan of DCFB for years and that you can’t believe that they sold out. Say it with enough bravado and they will certainly believe you.

psst- Goodbye Ultimate Band List, um Artist Direct (note the lack of linkage). I am fucking tired of your popup window advertising and flash movies that I cannot close. You shall never be linked from this website again!

Yesterday I received my first two pieces of comment spam. I am such a proud parent.

Katrina Never Was A Lovely Lass
Sometimes I find it hard to believe that the weather in Atlanta can be so nice, whereas right now in New Orleans they are suffering through Hurricane Katrina.

What’s up with the Weather Morons? Why must they always feel compelled to broadcast from the center of the storm? Could they not just show stock video of signs shaking, downed trees and collapsed houses from previous storms? Really, would those of us in the general population be able to tell the difference?

Yard Work Is Hard Work
This weekend I was bound and determined to catch up on some long-neglected yard work and to fortify the abode for the rath of Katrina (hey, on Friday it was supposed to make its way to Atlanta and dump copious amounts of rain upon us.

Friday night was spent mowing the lawn(s) and cleaning up the grounds for some new gutter piping.

Saturday morning was an early morning start by climbing up on my roof (with a ladder of course, it’s not like I am Spiderman) so that I could trim tree limbs from near my roof and clean out my gutters. Let it be known that I am afraid of heights, so for me to get two stories above the ground and inch my way to the edge of my roof is no minor chore.

Sunday I said “Fuck you yard work, it looks like Katrina is going further west.”

My Body Is A Temple, One Made For A Buddhist Temple
I have been eating some of the strangest foods. What, do I think that I am a bachelor or something? I’ve eaten crackers (with cream cheese, and later with orange marmalade) like I am a damn parrot. Paulie Wanna Cracker?

Friday night (post-yardwork) I met my friend Glenn at Little Azio on Moreland Avenue. I was pleased to see that the business there was busy (at least on a Friday). The food was good, nothing to scream about, but I shall return.

Saturday night (post hash-from-hell) I headed out to Limerick Junction to celebrate Maigh’s party. Pictures of that event can be seen on her site (including a picture of yours truly being surly about seeing somebody other than me being billed as Inside The Perimeter). There I dined on some Smithwick’s fine beer, popcorn and a corned beef sandwich, yum!

Sunday was Craving Day as I had to start the day with a diner breakfast. I’ve professed my love for Waffle House in the past, but sometimes my closest one is still too far away. So what’s a boy to do? Eat at the Majestic! I should have been out running with my friends, instead I dined on two eggs, hash browns, corned beef hash and toast, and afterwards joined them poolside with adult beverages. Good morning, I say.

Music For The Small Masses
As I mentioned last Friday I was off to see A Fir-Ju Well at The EARL. Perhaps I should have stated that I would be seeing them on Saturday because they took the stage at 12:10am! That wouldn’t have been too bad except that they only performed for an hour. If I am going to try and be Rockin’ Like Dokken starting that late I want it all, at least give me ninety minutes! They seemed to lack that balls-to-the-wall energy that they had the last time I saw them (perhaps because they started so late?).

By the way, the band which preceded them, De Novo Dahl, was quite entertaining; they were part Radiohead, part Ted Leo & The Pharmacists.

Knowing that I was going to be out late I chose to skip seeing Charm School. I know that they are local and I hope that I can see them sometime in the near future.

Here’s One You Might Not Have Heard
A man walks into a used CD store (let’s say Ella Guru for example) and walks out empty handed. Yes kiddies, you read that right! For some reason Ella Guru’s selection of “Just In” stuff was much smaller than in the past and I didn’t see anything that I was interested in purchasing. I did see REM’s Green (which was a cd lost last year), but someone I know must own this and be willing to let me archive it (hey, I did purchase it once). I also saw the new Black Rebel Motorcycle Club release called Howl, but after listening to it in the store I realized that I didn’t like it.

btw- Why didn’t someone call me out for not mentioning that The New Pornographer’s latest CD Twin Cinema dropped last Tuesday and I failed to mention it? I’ll respect you more if you bust my chops occassionally. I might not call you in the morning, but I’ll respect you nonetheless.

Third Time Not As Charming As It Should Have Been
The Thursday night edition of Meet The Hashers met at Raging Burrito in Decatur last night. (props to Raging Burrito for having the free WiFi).

Let’s just say we should have taken first place, but because we didn’t have the cajones to “Go Big Or Go Home” on the final question we finished in third place.

I blame the clusterfuck that was Raging Burrito last night for our miscalculation. It’s far too long of a story to detail here, but it has to do with poor service, confusing beer pricing (or more accurately signage for beer pricing), etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

My Return To Live Music
You may remember back in May when I blogged about going The Earl to see British Sea Power? Remember how awesome I thought A Fir-Ju Well was that night?

Tonight you have the opportunity to see just how smart I am. A Fir-Ju Well is the headlining act at The EARL in East Atlanta tonight. Doors open at 9:30pm, so that means that this old man will be heading home for a PowerNap prior to going out tonight.

Early To Bed, Early To Rise
Remember that old quote

Early to bed, early to rise
Makes a man healty, wealthy, and wise

I am here to tell you that it’s complete bullshit.

I was a Good Boy last night, leaving George’s Bar after one beer and eating only popcorn (which was later supplemented with cream cheese and crackers, yum!). Home early and sober I should certainly be the most productive I have been recently; hell, I even had time to read. That ended abruptly when the eyes shut and I fell asleep. Fuckity Fuck Fuck Fuck!

Baby Steps
First there was the complete reading of a magazine. (Wired)
Now I am currently reading a book comprised of magazine articles. (The Polysyllabic Spree)
Next? I’m thinking a book filled with short stories.
And before I know it I will have read an entire book.

I sound like I am six years old. LOL!

Picture This!
Why looky there (—–>) I’ve gone and put one of those annoying Flickr photo mosaics on my blog. Idle minds….

Yeah, I know that anyone reading this through an ATOM (still no RSS, arrgh!) feed can’t see it, but I can’t change the world you know.

Running Is For The Birds
Not only did my body feel as if it was about to explode last night, my left running shoe made this annoying sound while I ran (ok, walked). The sound was similar to a regular exhale, or perhaps similar to what you’d hear when you have a flat tire on a bicycle. Pfhht. Pfhht. Pfhht.

Guess who needs new running shoes? Maybe I’ll buy those sneakers with the wheels on the bottom.

We Are The Boys
WTF? My alma mater, the University of Florida, has dropped from the top ten of Princeton Review’s “Top Ten Party Schools?” C’mon kids, what are you doing down there, studying? You’ve got a reputation to uphold, you know…

Want to see what all studying and no drinking produces?

That’s right, all that “clean” living will turn you into Sasquatch.

or worse…

a hasher.

Third Time Is A Charm
Looks like I’ll be playing Team Trivia again tonight. This will be the third time this week I’ve played trivia. Yeah, I know I need to get a life, branch out, do new things. But this week features lyrics from Who songs, and I know me some Who songs!! Tonight’s gathering will be at Raging Burrito in Decatur.

This morning the alarm went off at 5am, just like any other normal workday for me. This morning my brain decided it needed to sleep for another two hours, so it convinced my hand to turn the alarm off, and then convinced my eyes to return to their closed and locked position. Fuck.

A(nother) Open Letter To Marta
Dear Marta:

Your service has been, well serviceable. The trains do arrive at the stations at which I am stationed, eventually. But that is not the point of this open letter.

I have been an infrequent customer for the last two months. Often times I use the Edgewood / Candler Park station. For those two months I have noticed the same four beer bottles positioned under a tree. Is this part of an art installment that has yet to be announced? Could someone be so obsessive-compulsive to arrange the same four types of beer bottles in the exact same positions under the same tree nightly? Surely you employee people to periodically clean debris (um, trash) from the parking lots of your stations, right?

I am also sure that you would be pleased if I assumed a self-appointed Volunteer Trash Captain position and cleaned the parking lots for you. Unfortunately, when I am noticing these bottles I am on my way to my current full-time employment.

Meet The New Night, Same As The Old Night
What would I do when I realize that I have nothing to do? Play Team Trivia of course! I wandered (in vehicle) to Rocky Mountain Pizza where I helped a team finish well out of the money.

Gayle Devers? Who the hell remembers Gayle Devers?

How am I supposed to remember that Snuffalupagos was introduced in 1971 (I guessed 1972). I don’t even like muppets. I AM OLD GODDAMMIT, CUT ME SOME SLACK!

I did manage to come up with “Squeeze Box” as the song from which the lyrics “She goes in and out and in and out and in and out” were taken. For the record I would have known that even if I wasn’t privy to knowning that all song lyrics this week would come from songs by The Who — that tidbit was in Team Trivia’s electronic newsletter for trivia nerds.

From The Bizarro File
Yesterday I heard the most awesome cover of a song, ever. While listening to the iPodArmy podcast (you should be too) the guy played Nina Gordon (of Veruca Salt fame) covering N.W.A.’s “Straight Outta Compton”. Fucking Awesome!

Here it is — Nina Gordon’s “Straight Outta Compton”

Well it seems someone around here has stolen the virtual calendar pages from my PDA. I would have bet money that this week was the final week in August and that I’d be attending a Braves game tonight and getting a haircut tomorrow. Look at me with all the newly-found free time! Maybe I’ll read. Maybe I’ll mow the lawn. Maybe I’ll even exercise. So many options…

Lone Wolf
Sometimes I get a stick up my ass and need to be alone (far from a revelation for those who know me well).

Yesterday “Paulie Time” was spent during lunch at Lucky China (don’t even think of pronouncing it Rucky China!). What was funny about my trip to Lucky China was that I wasn’t even supposed to be there. My intent was to eat lunch at some Mexican joint on whatever the name of the road is that parallels I285 on its interior. That was until I was forced to stay in the Left Turn Only lane of the exit ramp. Frustrated at my inability to get over I resigned myself to eating something in Georgetown Shopping Center.

It was far from the best Chinese food I have ever eaten (keep in mind that for the past six years I worked off of Buford Highway), but it was decent and I wouldn’t mind eating it again. More importantly, they deliver (for free!), something I didn’t have to think about when it wasn’t a complete pain in the ass to drive everywhere.

addendum: I forgot to mention that my fortune cookie contained two fortunes. They have been included in the side galley today.

It’s Log. It’s Log. It’s Better Than Bad, It’s Good!
Those Ren And Stimpy lyrics were thrust from my mouth when I saw what could possibly be the most ridiculous iPod accessory ever.

Now That I Know The Correct Date, What CDs Are Being Released?
There is a slew of cds being released today, my count is twenty-five. Of those twenty-five, very few look like anything that would interest me.

My vote for CD Pick of the Day goes to local product Josh Joplin and his release of “Jaywalker”. Actually, I can’t remember if Josh still lives in Atlanta, but I’ve seen him in concert a few times and he seems like a hell of a guy, so go buy his album.

btw- Has anyone out there ever successfully linked to a product in Amazon and gotten paid? I’ve set up an Associates’ Account, but don’t quite understand the process. Yes, I would set up product links to Amazon here. Yes, I would be making something from my suggestions. Yes, if this becomes a wildly popular source of income I will buy you a beer.

After being a continental jetsetter the last few weekends I decided to crash in my home town, well more specifically, the towns which surround my hometown, this weekend. Let it also be known that I spent each night at home this weekend (read “I was a loser”). And, let the record show that I also read an entire magazine (Wired) front-to-back; laugh at me if you wish but this is rather a major accomplishment for me (read “I am a complete loser”).

If It’s Saturday This Must Be Gwinnetta
I am not a fan of Gwinnett County (calm down Cobb County, you run a very close second). As I thought of a title for this section I realized that I only know Gwinnett County as “Gwinnett County.” I have no clue of a name of a town/city within the county, henceforth I will always be in my ficticious town of ‘Gwinnetta’ when I enter the county in which “Success Lives.”

Why was I in Gwinnetta? For my annual pilgrimage to the Folkfest (follow the link for nudity), this year’s being aptly titled “Folkfest 2005″ (although in Folk Art Circles I believe it’s pronounced “Folkfest Naught-Five”).

Andy, Stacey, Laurie (who I see but once a year for this trip so if it’s spelled L-o-r-i please forgive me) and I made the trip to the land of tempra paint on wood with misspelled words (that’s what makes it folk art). Sadly I saw nothing that “spoke to me” so I left the event empty handed. Andy and Stacey scored by purchasing a piece from some artist who they believe to have one foot in the grave.

The day was capped off nicely with a fantastic lunch at Agnes & Muriel’s. Have you ever wondered how mac ‘n cheese could be any better? Deep fry it of course!

If It’s Sunday This Must Be Newnan
With one successful trip OTP under my belt I threw caution to the wind and attempted another yesterday. This time the Jackmobile was turned southwest and headed to Newnan to run the Black Sheep Hash.

Did someone ask if it was hot? It was ungodly, motherfucking, can’t-stop-the-sweat hot yesterday. Luckily the trail got screwed up and I wound up running (or walking if you will) only half of the intended length. Was I sad about this? Hell Fucking No!

Have I mentioned that today’s blog is not G rated?

With the ending having a swimming hole, a keg of beer, and pork to eat I dare say that I was as happy as a pig in slop. Oh wait, that would make me a cannibal, wouldn’t it?

Are You Ready For Some Headknocking?
Football season (as far as ABC/ESPN are concerned) is once again upon us. This means that Meet The Hashers must skullcrush an hour earlier starting tonight. It seems as if Taco Mac in the Highlands would rather cater to the Jocks instead of we Trivia Nerds. Go figure. I’d stay for the football game too just to spite them, but I’ve got a new magazine that I need to start reading…

Wow, something must be in the air this morning as I am having a hard time getting going…

I Like To Think Of It As Recycling
I dropped by one of my Crack Dealer depots yesterday, Decatur CD. I just can’t help myself. However, my lack of discipline paid off since I was able to get used cds for the latest releases from A Band Of Bees, Nic Armstrong & The Thieves, and Foo Fighters, as well as the latest Clap Your Hands Say Yeah new on the cheap. SCORE!

Interestingly, Decatur CD had both the North American and British releases of the A Band Of Bees cd; the British version was labelled with the band’s original name “The Bees.”

I’ll take Obscure Music Trivia for $500 please, Alex.

Folk Art Said Quickly Sounds Like Fart
Normally I don’t give much love to those who play OTP. However, I’ll admit that this weekend I’ll be leaving my boundaries to attend Folkfest 2005 out in Gwinnett County. What can I say, I like the art.

Getting There Might Be “Fun”
My friend Sarah has passed along the following Head’s Up from the AJC:

The state Department of Transportation has some advice for metro Atlanta motorists this weekend: Stay away from the Perimeter Highway, if possible.

The DOT says construction on Interstate 285 on all four sides of Atlanta will result in long traffic delays. There will be multiple lane closures around I-285 from Friday night to early Monday.

Further complicating weekend driving in the metro area: additional work on I-85, I-20 and Georgia 400. According to the Georgia Navigator Web site, additional work is planned starting Friday night on the Downtown Connector.

Not only that, but tractor-trailers normally prohibited from using the Downtown Connector will be encouraged to use that route because of the work on 285.

DOT spokeswoman Vicki Gavalas says the agency is pleading with people to stay off the Perimeter.

You have been warned! (yeah, I know that I also posted this on the Moonlighting Site, but they needed to know about it too.)

Marta Sure Ain’t No MTA
This morning was a Marta commute. That’s what I get for waking up later than normal on a Friday. I am trying to give Marta love, but it’s very hard. When this morning’s westbound train finally arrived at the station people were packed in like sardines. Has Marta become increasingly popular since gas prices have once again skyrocketed? No, I think it’s because I waited no fewer than ten minutes for this train to arrive.

The Five Points station was equally populated. The first train to arrive was as full as the one I had taken westward. Luckly it was a Doraville train and I quickly spotted a North Springs train on its heals. My “patience” was rewarded with a seat all the way up to Dunwoody.

I’m sure I’ve got more to blog about, but not the time to do so.

Rain Rain Go Away Come Back In A Month Or Two
Or at least stop raining so hard and every day!

I know, everyone has said it, but I can’t believe how much localized hard rain we have had this summer. I got caught in it (again) while running through the Highlands last night. Within minutes the streets were streams. The ground can’t hold it any longer, so it keeps searching for the paths of least resistance.

A few years ago we had drought, now we have excessive rain. I understand averages, and in The Grand Scheme of Things we are getting an average amount of rain, but I just know these extremes can’t be good.

Yikes, STOP already!!!

Hi, My Name Is Paulie And I Have A Problem
Wow, limiting myself to one beer last night was really hard! It was even harder when I got home and had to deal with homeownership issues. Sometimes being a grownup really sucks. I’m just sayin’.

Don’t Go Buy The Book
The other day on my Moonlighting Blog Site I published a tidbit about this book series called Not For Tourists (btw- I mentioned it briefly in this space last week).

I have already found a major flaw in the book. All exit numbers on Atlanta interstates are wrong. Yep, the 2005-2006 edition has exit numbers which reflect the exit numbers as they existed before they were changed in 2000. The publishers have been notified…

Random Widgets
Remember, you pay nothing to read this…

• I want to go somewhere and order a “Gelatte.” It will be a coffee drink made from gelato.
• I want to have sex again before I die. No, I will not “hire” someone for this purpose.
• My goal is to keep my waistline smaller than my age. It really shouldn’t be that hard to do from here on out.
• Golf spelled backwards is Flog. Why is it that I still own clubs?
• In New York I saw The Onion in newspaper boxes. How fucking cool is that?
