I wasn't really going to stop anyway. Well, if anyone wants to catch me, I'll be making a brief appearance in Baton Rouge late Thursday and all day Friday of this week. I want to be present for the amniocentesis procedure scheduled for Rachel. Ha! Who would've thought? I move to Chicago and a little side project of mine becomes public knowledge all in one week. Oh well, In other news. Chicago fucking rocks, and Dunkin Donuts makes the best fucking coffee, and I'm already picking up Spanish phrases. Two days ago I walked Clark all the way down to the Gold coast (O(ph)crah's territory). Later that same night we sat in a bar outside Wrigley Stadium and made fun of the Newscasters and their accents. Lake Michigan is gorgeous, and there's a pier for fishing. I saw someone pull out a 5-8 pound drum the other day. After the water temperature goes up a bit, I'd like to go swimming. Currently it's 20 degrees below what the normal temperature is supposed to be in this neck of the the midwest. This is important because, as our neighbor putsit: it fucks up the drinking pattern. The pattern, roughlly paraphrased: people drink in the summer 'cause its fun, but toward the end of the summer they start a sort of brooding, heavy drinking that lasts through the winter, this is drinking for survival, if people couldn't drink during the winter, they would die, and perhaps kill others, both in large numbers. Summer, which last about 2 weeks, may not come this year. Already I've seen indications of non-stop heavy drinking. And just the other day, this guy described as "scared and possibly intoxicated" shot two cops and then barricaded himself in the Eagle Country Store just north of the city. If people keep winter drinking through the summer, they might get bored and start reading or worse...
Mark Kozelek's (one of StillWater from Almost Famous) Red House Painters is playing soon... for like 5 bucks...AAAGGGHHHH I just want to strangle Baton Rouge.

loren said at 5:35 PM 06-06-2001: Man, my girlfriend is from Boston and i swear to god she has Dunkin Donuts coffee fits where she REALLY REALLY wants a hazlenut iced coffee. I think she lived on them for years when there was a DD around. There's one in San Jose, and she used to drive 30 minutes out of her way on the way to work just to get DD coffee. She still swore it was better on the east coast though.
dave said at 6:22 PM 06-06-2001: the krispy kreme in the san fernando valley (just north of los angeles) has a 1/2 hour wait most mornings... personally i think the best coffee comes from starbux...
kirsten said at 11:44 AM 02-10-2002: good call. tastee donuts *ARE* the best, without a doubt. screw krispy kreme and dunkin. where there's a tastee you need nothing else. selling point: they make the chocolate iced with hard-to-find round sprinkles as opposed to the long soft cylindrical sprinkles. unbeatable.

Anyway, Rachel is a girl that I got pregnant a few months ago, I thought it was *taken care of*... apparently not.
Anyway she's (we're) giving it up for adoption.
I damn near didn't move because of it.
But as I explained to her, I had prior obligations. Anyway, she wanted me to be present for the first ultrasound as well as a battery of tests that she's having done. I'll post pictures as soon as I get a copy...
Meredith said at 1:55 PM 06-09-2001: Brandon, if you aren't joking, and this is true, why the hell didn't your ROOMMATE know that you may not have moved? And when did this "Rachael" person happen? I never heard of this. Was this the one drunken fling you never told anyone about? And here I have been called your best friend on certain occasions. I am inclined to think you're still bullshiting. You'd BETTER be.
Kate said at 8:59 PM 06-09-2001: Brandon,
Oh my god...i am sooooo sorry. Noah read it out to me on the phone, but i wanted to read it myself. Are YOU okay?
Brandon said at 11:56 PM 06-10-2001: Nope, it's true, I'll have the picture as soon as I get access to a working scanner. BTW... it's a boy! Everything seems to be alright with it at the moment...
Brandon said at 8:59 PM 06-11-2001: Well, this isn't exactly that much of a monkey-wrench as far as starting over is concerned. Insurance is covering ALOT and besides, she's not keeping it(hopefully). Even if she does, it's hard to collect child support from a negative income, but that's months (well about three) away.
brandon [email] said at 9:07 PM 02-03-2006: Chantell, if you are of-age, I'm inclined to rock your tastee New Orleans Donuts.
Please send a picture verifying that you are of legal age and a photo of yourself wearing something skimpy (or nothing at all). I swear to god that I won't post the picture here. Ever. At all.
