monday turned out to be somewhat productive. mostly small stuff, laundry, dishes, trash, hang up clothes, but i ended up cleaning my room which i rarely do and am really bad at.
phone calls with lawyers in chicago, some yard work, a little more progress on my latest memo
it's a memo i'd worked hard on saturday, so when it disappeared on sunday at steak and shake i was a little freaked, but when i got home the file came back up and the chicago lawyer liked it
i watched breaking bad and watered plants and killed bugs and sent emails. hung up more clothes, mopped kitchen floor.
i didn't take care of either of the insurance tasks and didnt calll the traffic court in evansville and didn't go over the 72-item list.
and i'm not prepared for court tomorrow but i'll just wing it.

court today went ok, but it was emotionally draining, and i didn't do much else all day.
went for coffee and stopped by my new house and otherwise lay in bed and took a few baths.
the state's witness lied on the stand; mine was one of only two cases to go to trial, and none of my objections were sustained, but we worked out a reasonable compliance plan and i'll be back 30 days.
tomorow i have a confernce call with chicago lawyers. i checked for studies but it's still too soon after my dental work to screen yet.
to do wednesday: conference call, clincard, car insurance, call evansville
weds: got almost nothing done

i didnt get a lot done today, but bank, dollar store, paid the car insurance, obtained proof i had insurance on the day i got a ticket for not having it, playing lawyer tag with the prosecutor.
working to resolve that ticket to get my license back. recently i learned that the game 'tag' all american kids know has many names in england, 'it', tig, tuggle, etc.
i cleaned up brush along the fence, didn't get the flat tire fixed, harvested corn, watered the garden,
brian's supposed to meet me tonight so we can start moving boxes to the new house.
so i expect him tomorow maybe. tomorrow conference call with the chicago lawyers. so i should work on that memo tonight before i go drinking.
instead i just transplanted shrubs for awhile.

friday brian came and we moved 8 vanloads to the new house.
saturday i bought the van for $1000. if everything goes right jake will trade me the volvo wagon for it next week. then i went clubbing
did dishes, laundry, yardwork, and got ready to paint the fence.
sunday i slept in after clubbing. it's too hot to do anything. i should be doing laundry and dishes. greg cleaned up the house after the mess we made moving stuff.
monday i have a $50 gig selling a dna sample for research, then i need to go get my mail.
the beach background is just because i wish i was at the beach today. i did not make it to either colorado or the beach this year, but i did have some fun trips.
oh, on friday my trek bike was stolen from inside the house. where i live, there are local theives that watch the house waiting for the right moment. so i usually never buy a trek.
or it could be some kind of inside job.

a door a bull
monday i rode my bike 10 miles to an appointment made $50 spent $15 of it. took the bus home which took hours.
greg painted the fence, good job. i got nothing else done.
it's windy but about 90 out so i have no energy.
tomorow: mail, check the other house, bag up the laundry.make a better list.i saw a bedbug today, first in months.

didn't get much done today. couldn't sleep, got up around 1. went to po box, got mail. bank, got a document notarized and mailed. played voice tag with a lawyer.
the check cashing place was closed when i went by to pay my electric bill. bought some hardware. picked up a load of scrap metal from my neighbor robert.
made a better list while on the bus. lost my $5 bus pass so spent an extra $2. bought ginger turmeric and taro for planting. used that damn self-check out machine. not everything was bananas.
haven't written any memos lately. had my rights violated again last thursday; i was ordered to stop witnessing a traffic stop.
i can spot a civil rights violation, i'm just not very good at fixing them. i'm the arbitrary aardvark. i fight crime. i'm not very good at it. crime usually wins.

today i did the first 3 things on my ten item list for the day then i got depressed and stopped and it was 98 so i just reddited all day.
the thing i got depressed about was somehow i lost $100 bill from my wallet between yesterday and today. maybe i spent it as busfare somehow, or maybe my roommate stole it. i cant think of any 3rd alt
ernative. so that's depressing. did: laundry, trash, paid the electric bill. now i need to drag myself out of bed to go for a drink at illusions.
illusions has been called zonies for 5 years now since the lesbian couple bought it, but us old folks are set in our ways.
that's all for today. tomorrow i'll need to make a new list.

my chromebook wouldn't go online for the last few days,and when it's not online it's a brick, so i sent it in to the factory and bought a $269 laptop, which seems too big now that i'm used to the
chromebook. being offline for a few days i think i got a lot done, details will be in comments. my IQ gets cut in half when i can't get online.
i had a vegetarian dinner to go to saturday, but i didnt know where it was so i couldn't go. i'm on my way to a potluck now, made a beet salad from my garden.
i called about a study, hoping to get a call back. it's been over a month. update: i screen thursday at 10:30
tried to withdraw $200 today and found out i'm broke at that bank, got $100 instead, time to go thru my accounts.
i have two other banks so it's ok.

so i'm at a screening. took the wrong train from chicago so it was a 4 mile stroll to the hotel. saw some chipmunks at city hall when iwas getting on the megabus.
this is the same place i spent a month in june. i've been off for a month and this one doesn't start for a couple weeks.
a month ago i had a tooth pulled, and it's stayed painful and uncomfortable. well the other day the rest of the tooth came out. so it's better now, but i'll probably get another dentist.
tomorrow i need to clean up jake's room to get it ready for toni, and i'll move back into my rom.
http://sevendiary.com/tonikali-yepthomi-american-eagles-2013-model/
toni is ethnically mongolian but grew up in india next to burma. met her on reddit and she'll probably be crashing with me for a while. if she shows up.

 

by arbi
9-17-13
didn't get much done today. cleaned up the kitchen, post office, made a key for toni, bought paint, fried some fish.
last night we drank beers and hung out and talked, then i went to a club. both days we rode bikes.
i got into my study, that'll start next week. i seem to have missed a week here. toni came saturday night and has been cleaning the house and trying to throw away stuff - i'm a hoarder and defensive
about it. greg is tuning up the van and painting the house. toni lost her wallet so can't come to the clubs with me.
my chromebook was returned today fixed.
we're going to go out to trader joe's tonight and maybe broad ripple. skipped broad ripple, tj's went ok.

didn't get much done today. woke up late, didn't have a list made. went to the bank, cashed checks, paid the electric and internet bills. $150, $40. bought a bike $48. last night around 1 am someone
came into our house and stole my bike. bought a 3/8 compression end cap for a faucet. toni cleaned the fridge, i took out the trash. might go clubbing.
didn't make needed phone calls. mostly wasted the day on reddit as usual. caught up my blogs last night.
i need to mail some paperwork to brian and re-send an email and think about jake's email.
i dumpster dived a bunch of grow your stir-fry kits, and some rooting hormone, and gathered some wild sunflower seeds.
i might go now and pick up a bathtub i spotted in a nearby alley, for the new house.

the equinox is tomorrow at 4:44
thursday: i don't remember. probably didnt get much done. friday: toni went back to ilinois. family crisis of some sort, possibly manufactured by her boyfriend. she says she'll be back someday.
we went to the varsity, hung out with the bartender.
saturday,didn't get much done. fixed a hole in the garage roof. i think i met the raccoon that makes the hole, at a local dumpster.
oh friday i gave john a ride to the car rental place and we showed off our new houses, he lives near my new one. scored some copper and triscuits and bought some grishham
sunday: did nothing. monday: i'm on the bus.

9-24-13
I'm at a study, somewhere north of chicago. I figure there's a 50% chance they send me home tomorrow. My ekg wasn't great, and 21 showed up, they only need to keep 15.
The trip here was the usual adventure, bus, bus, samosas, train, long walk, hotel, check in.
If they send me home i'll probably get $300 and break even, if i stay it's $2600.
I bought a notebook so i can write down some lists, but realistically i probably won't get much done.
they sent me home for $250 so i break even. i come back in 10 days for 1800. had an indian buffet. finished my book. coffee and alcohol after a study.
i'm off to go look at a villa listed at $15K. 6 Br 4Ba.

 

by arbi
9-26-13
I didn't get much done today. The $15K mansion I wanted to buy sold today before I called in.
I called the clinic, left a message. I want to switch from an $1800 study to a $7400 one. Didn't make any other calls, didn't make a list. Didn't work on any memos. I moved some cabinets and cleaned
a grate in the kitchen floor that the cabinets were in the way of cleaning.
I watched a few shows on hulu. The fall season has finally started back.
went to the club last night, just me and the bartender/manager so he showed me the kitchen and we talked internet strategies.

9-27-13
i got a few things done today. my phonesemed to be dead so i set up a new phone although by now i got the old one working again, it was just a bad charger.
bank, post office, groceries, finally reached the evansville prosecutor and she will send the paperwork so i can pay my ticket.
the 7400 study was full but i gave up my sure thing 1800 to screen for a 4300 next monday.
and there are a couple of other places i can call now. i still need to go thru my lists and work on some memos.
http://www.hulu.com/watch/215826 yojimbo
i'll probably hit the club tonight.no sign of jake yet, he was supposed to be here by now.
i planted some turneric and ginger and garlic, and a couple of my flowers finally bloomed now that's nearly october.

black beans and toast $3.50
i'm at the chicago diner on halstead. i havent been here in years. it's one of the only almost-vegan diners in this part of the country. my bus doesn't come till 11:30, so i jumped on a bus to this
part of town, which i usually don't have time for. the bus went by lincoln park zoo and the ntion hq of the elk's club on the way to boystown.
the screening went well. greyhound was ok, the internet worked, i stayed at my usual hotel in my usual room. wanda and nate were there, we did a study together this summer.
i'll know wednesday if i get in. i hung out at starbucks long enough to watch breaking bad which i missed last night.
i'm going to walk around a bit, have a drink or some coffee and take the el back downtown.
so i have about two hours? i don't know my way around these buses and trains yet.

the websnark has a nice litle story about bob and the ninja
it's actually tho more about how to document code
unhand that yakuza brand cottage cheese, or taste my wingchung style kung fu
why are you even here? would you care for some tea?
t- slept all day. w- did nothing.trash, laundry, plumbing repairs, waited all day for a call that didn't come,showed jake the new house, now off to the club.
there was drama at the club.my friend who was a bartender and wanted to be manager, i don't have the whole story, got fired and then might have stolen a bunch of stuff, so there was no show.

 

by arbi
10-04-13
thursday - did nothing. waited for a phone call that didn't come.
friday: i'm at a free all day CLE about housing discrimination. 6 hours down, 42 to go before i get my law license back.
seminars like this usually cost $300, this one was a perk of one ofmy networking groups.
my battery is going to die unless i hide in the back to recharge, so i might not get any memos written while here. emailed off the michigan one.
saturday plans : might look at houses or clean up the new house.
i got into the study! starts tuesday. i got back downtown toolate for the first friday events. saturday, i didnt get out of bed.

10-08-13
so i'm back atthe clinic in northern illinois. i won't know till tomorrow if i get to stay or get sent home. i'm number 17 which is not good, but i think my odds are ok, over 50%
i'm not going to tell the bomb squad story yet.
the trip here was routine. bus bus train walk chinese dinner hotel walk check in. my friend wanda is here and some other regulars.
jake is at my place in indy. we traded car titles.
http://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/ argument_transcripts/12-536_21o2.pdf
the supreme court heard a campign finance case today so i'm going to read the transcripts and shower and sleep.
day 2: i got in!

 

by arbi
10-11-13
day 1 we were busy trying to get in, and day 2 was dose day with lots of blood draws, but yesterday on day 3 i had no excuse for not getting any work done. today is day 4.
so far all i've done is move my work files off google drive into files stored on this laptop in openoffice. now i need toread thru those files, that i wrote 2 months ago in michigan, to get caught up.
i finished the grisham novel i mean book and i might start game of thrones.
if i get right on it i can have all these files read by dinner, and be ready to start adding more stuff. or i could waste time online like i usually do.
day 5 - did not getting anything done. started making some notes on one of the motions the project will need.
day 8 - still not doing anything useful

 

by arbi
10-21-13
it's day 12 or 13 or something, i don't know. it's a monday. the study continues to be easy. we take 4 pills a day and wait around 4 hours for observation and we eat 4 timesa day and shower and that's
about it. i havent gotten more than a couple hours useful work done.
my package of extra socks and underwear from amazon didn't come yet, maybe tomorrow. the pens i didnt really need came, i bought them to get free shipping for over $25.
i'll explain later what happened to my luggage.
thursday we get stabbed again - only had one blood draw today - then friday we get the date rape pill. it's pretty fun actually. ambien, i recommend it.
no major world news to comment on. just some insider baseball stuff about judge posner and justice stevens.

 

by arbi
10-23-13
so we've been here for a couple weeks. the next two days are busy, lots of blood draws, then we go home sunday and have a followup visit a week later.
i got no writing done while i was here. my socks came. i got a couple items posted at electionlawblog.com. i got my hometown newspaper to change one word in a headline - judge posner is not retired,
stevens is the one who retired. 425 pages into game of thrones, i've only read 20 books this year unless i forgot a few.
i roughed out my taxes, i'll have to pay some this year, making too much money. "luckily" the house didnt sell yet.
when i get home i have to kick out my theiving roommate. i guess he's back on the crackpipe.
i need to make a list of the things he's (probably) stolen so i can threaten to go to the cops if he doesn't leave me alone.i had thought of him as a friend, so this is a drag.

 

by arbi
10-25-13
6 pills and 9 blood draws today. tomorrow is an easy day, sunday we go home, a week later we have a followup.
i had three memos to work on while here and did nothing on all 3. no excuse for it, it's quiet enough and the computer works ok.
it's been reddit hulu solitaire blogs eating and 637 pages into game of thrones.
1 more blood draw tonight.
i think i will splurge and buy myself a year's gym membership with the extra cash i am banking from this study.
a big chunk will go to taxes, i made too much this year to write it all off. and i might get in one more small study in december.

 

by arbi
10-29-13
so on sunday i finished my study except for going back next week for the followup, and i got a train bus and bike home. got up in time to catch another bus at 9, went to evansville for the day, filed
a lawsuit against a cop who frisked me without cause. they wouldn't give me the forms i needed so this might get dismissed on a technicality. spent about $500. caught a bus back.
so now i'm home and can start on whatever piled up while i was gone for a month.
i guess i should go to the post office first. i probably have a few paychecks and bills waiting.
then i should make a list, and do my online traffic safety thing, and renew my plates oh and get the title and plates for my new volvo
that would be a decent start to the day. maybe i'll go have breakfast first.

 

by arbi
10-29-13
so i went to the post office, the bank, paid some bills. deposited $8000 - a few of my ships came in while i was at the study. $800 in bills. + property tax and a letter from the irs i havent opened.
i brought some plants in from outside - my tomatoes froze while i was away but the houseplants are doing ok. the bedbug spray seems to have worked.
i'm catching up on my korean soap opera 'a little love never hurts'
i need to make a better list. the layers of disorganization are getting out of control.
big plan for tomorrow is bmv to get plates, and see what i need to do to get my license back. friday i have a CLE to go to. i need to make a more current list of memos; the new lawsuit will require
http://www.hulu.com/watch/551467#i0,p4,d0
paperwork. it should have gotten served today but i'm worried one form wasn't stamped by the clerk so they may throw the whole thing out.
i grocery shopped, swept the stairs and still want to do laundry. weds: did laundry and trash but nothing else. i was wrong about the bedbugs.

 

by arbi
10-31-13
thursday: it rained hard all day so that was a good excuse for not doing much. haircut, $10. online driver safety course $53, took hours. circuit breakers $10.
didnt pay the texas taxes or open the irs letter or do many of the items on today's list.
tomorrow i have a cle to go to. a total of 40 hours of classes i can turn my law license back on. this will cost several thousand.
meanwhile i can turn my driver's license back on any time now, i think i've done everything except go in and do it. next week maybe.
i hear they postponed halloween till tomorrow because of the rain. it doesnt really work that way.
oh i need to remember to move some money between banks. my usual debit card got declined like patsy.

today was a mixed bag. i got up in time for my cle but i lost the info of where it was so i didnt go, and when i found the info later it was too late.
so instead i went to the bmv to try to get my licence back but the paperwork hadn't gone thru so i did get an $8 refund on the rush paperwork fee, and i did get my plates renewed.
i went to my new house to change a padlock. man that place is going to need some work. met the old lady next door, she grew up there and knows everybody.
i put some money in one of my banks and found i had a few $K more than i thought, so that was good, so i had coffee. i got a free soda from a bartender at a club i used to go to, ran into a client
i won a case for once, the cle people wouldn't give me the discount so they can wait till next year to get paid.
stopped into a new coffeehouse near where i used to live on 10th st, and came home. it's now time to head back for first friday stuff. but first i'll buy a money order for the texas taxes.

sunday i'm watching all of dirty sexy money, a series from about 8 years ago i missed at the time. adam from parenthood stars as a decent guy working for a corrupt super-rich family.chloe moretz has
a bit part as his daughter. monday i'll be on a bus and a train. tuesday i have my followup in waukegan.
it's not election day here, but it will be in some places, so i'll be tracking news and updating blogs.

11-06-13
routine trip to chicagoland for the followup visit went routinely. i booked two more screenings, one tomorrow in cincinatti, that i have a ride to.
something went wrong with my computer as i walked out the door with it, so i had to restore down to the basic settings, so i still need to reload chrome and do such stuff.writing this from firefox.
gas $46 plates $65 deposited $500.
i got plates for my newest volvo, #50, and put the new padlock on the new house, i'd lost the keys to the old padlock.
it's a rainy day and i'm going to sleep in and reddit and do laundry. rest up a bit.
portland semi-legalized marijuana, a libertarian got 7% in the VAgov race, a hooker just got arrested across the street from me. routine day.

 

by arbi
11-07-13
so my screening today went ok. it paid $100 and monday is the next level for $250 andif that goes ok it's 2000 for the whole thing, 8 days over a month, off and on.
gas $30 indian buffet $10 bus tickets $12, 3 books $13 coffee $3
the books were anonymous rex, a hardboiled dinosaur detective story, an autobiography of bertand russell, and I F Stone's the trial of socrates.
i had plans to do stuff tonight but so far it's just reddit in bed. tomorrow i retake the driver's test. i have to learn what shape a school zone sign is.
i didnt study because the one skill i have is i'm good at multiple choice tests, but i flunked, but you can take it again the next day.

 

by arbi
11-08-13
today the only thing on my list was to go get my driver's license, so i did that. $22, plates for #49 volvo, $56.
then i was gonna go for a drive, but my crackhead mechanic roommate had stolen the battery, so i've been kinda pissed off
got some proof of one of his earlier thefts and looked up the number of the cops but havent called yet. told him to go get me a battery, i don't care where or how.
found out the guy who was gonna buy my house isn't going to, but hadn't bothered to tell me.
around 10pm he showed up with the battery.

Tobey, will you give thanks over Thankgiving Dinner this afternoon?
Hell Ma...what do I got to be thankful for anyway?
Picture it, indianapolis 2004. I spent 3 weeks in county lockup. After I got jumped, I joined the church for protection. I learned this weird trick.
it turns out no matter how bad thing get you can always find three things a day to be thankful for.
1) we got enough cranberry relish and squash to last all of november from the trader joe's dumpster last night. 2) since the house didn't sell, we don't have to move everything.
3) the odds of my winning a comic competition went way up since me and ragu4u2 are the only ones left.

So I'm in cincinnatti. Finally doing a study here, at least for tonight, maybe more. This is a different place than the one i keep not getting into.
Tonight they will hook me up to 21 electrodes and see how I sleep. later: i am hooked up now. it's mad science. very odd.
I hope I'll be able to get to sleep. It'll be awkward if I can't.
The drive down here was nice. It's like riding a bike, you don't forget how to drive. This place is in Ohio but you drive through kentucky to get here.
My new car is a blue volvo station wagon. My old car is also a blue volvo station wagon, but with a busted transmission that is not as good for long trips. It was easier to buy another than fix it.
When I was a kid we had blue station wagons, first a rambler then a chevy. My dad used to have a studebaker, I don't think it was blue.

the sleep test went ok. i've been washing glue out of my hair. it snowed last night.
http://www.junglejims.com/
then i went to jungle jims and went a little crazy, spent $160, more than i've spent on groceries all year.
wednesday: did nothing. barely got out of bed.
got home. stashed some of the groceries at the new house because i can't trust my roommate, who i havent evicted quite yet.
oh and i saw a 4 point buck behind the walmart across from jungle jims.

so far today i've barely gotten out of bed, and it's almost dark. i havent even had coffee yet.
the study i had screened for got cancelled so i won't be doing that. too late to run either of the errands i was going to do today, but i could still
do laundry and dishes and check for studies and make a list. so i guess it's time to get up and have coffee.
i did take a requested photo of a stuffed pink bunny, and temporarily fixed some computer problems i was having.

saturday i went to 4 or 5 clubs. the drag show at talbot street was pretty good but all in all a dull night.
sunday stayed in, bad weather. the old post office twomiles down this street fell over in the wind.
monday i made a list, bank, got home insurance, paid two bills, got 5 boxes groceries, booked a screening, have laundry in, mailed my bone marrow donation registry swabs,
changed some light bulbs, but i haven't done anything else yet. i should check the list again.
tuesday's 12-item list is mostly stuff i didn't get done today. ok tuesday i got a new court date next tuesday, booked a screening inwisconsin, made a key for the #50 volvo,
checked my p o box, emailed tommy, opened a letter from the assessor, checked some tax sale data, bought the phone with triple minutes. 6 things not done

thursday i drove to wisconsin.got there 4 am, napped in the car in a snowstorm
friday, did my screening, went ok so far. it's a place where i've never gotten in yet, but i have a shot at this one.
it's a fun study involving a reptile disfunction pill and nitroglicerin. so there was a penis inspection, not usually part of a screening.
had adventures in milwaukee and chicago. west allis, chinatown, boystown, wrigleyville.
saturday and sunday i did nothing.
drove home and i am wiped out exhausted.
the screening paid $50 and i probably spent $150,worth it.

monday i don't remember. tuesday court went badly, then after a coffeehouse i went shopping for paint and drywall mud and a cheap bottle of moscato wine.
wednesday i got my new phone working just in time to get the call saying i got into the study in wisconsin. wisconsin in winter, i guess my car is up for it. i caught a cold from screening. i check in
on monday, 4 short visits in december, $2500. so i won't apply for that amazon job.it is 23 and snowing right now. i hope paint doesnt freeze.
today is wednesday. guess i'll take out the trash, call mom, maybe get my shocks replaced.

tomorrow i might eat chinese or stay in, not going to make any big thing.
i drove around getting quotes but nobody had my shocks in stock. stoped by a club too, for a drink before i stop drinking to get ready for the study.

this is my first time at this clinic . it's a fun study. 5 short visits in december. i stayed in a cheap hotel last night after i drove up from indy. sunday i hired a guy to paint my eaves, $500.
i should net $2000 here. our study group is called dynamite, because one of the meds is nitroglycerin.
thursday i did nothing, set up my new phone. friday i did nothing, had some ramen to celebrate the holiday. i mostly reddit all day.
my diet is simple enough that store-bought nissen chili ramen is a treat. that stuff saved my life once.
there's only two of us in this bedroom, which has its own bath, and the other guy seems nice, but he watches tv wrestling all the time.
it's just for a couple days. i booked a screening in nebraska for january.

tuesday i got a placebo and a new cellmate.
today we got the tnt pill and they took our blood pressure 18 times.it went down then back up to normal. in a minute they'll send us home till next monday.
i spent the time on reddit and hulu. i'm only online now to look up a map for going home, or to check the weather, i forget.
when i get home i'll see if my house got painted by the guy i paid to paint my house, and i need to call the cops on my thieving roommate, which i've been putting off.
the guy did no painting while i was gone.... ok, they called, and the weather's been bad. it's worse now, 4 inches of snow.
