Andy? Working?

Que es esto? So, being the lazy bum that I am, rather than going out and looking for a job, I took the first one that came to me. I have to say, it's not a bad gig...I think. Honestly, I don't exactly know what I'll be doing, but I'll be making money, I'll get to sleep in and it's in a field not deemed "customer service". My Ma hooked me up with a deal at her school working some after school program. This means that maybe I should make myself look like a respectable member of society. And you know what that means? I'm going out looking for ties, collared shirts and slacks. The downside is I'll have to drive out to L.A. five days a week. Sure, it's not exactly what I wanted to be doing with my life, but if I wasn't willing to go out there and find out what it is I want to do, I'll take what I can get. And this way I can't stay at home complaining that I don't have friends around to hang out with during the day. I just need to keep it up until May or June at the latest. Or until I have enough money to safely pay rent for a few months in a different city/state. Whatever. I guess I'm getting back in the swing of things here with writing or whatnot. It's still not good, but hey, it's something to do while waiting for Conan to come on.

Ted Leo

I requested this song at tonight's (8/28/09) show at the echo and had it played. It proceeded like so:

Andy (shouting): 2nd Ave, 11am!
Ted (to the audience): It's a suggestion.
Ted (inaudible talk with the band)
Ted (to the audience): Sure, why not?
Andy: WOO!

Faces were then rocked off.

SWEET JESUS!

Things About Andy

1) I've had a few beers.
2) I love my dog, Frank. She's 12 years old and going strong. She recently had surgery to remove a tumor from her left eyelid. After she returned home from the vet, she was having difficulty standing up due to the pain killers/anesthetic she was given. I laughed as her left paw kept sliding out from underneath her.
3) For about a month and a half I've noticed Frank's food has been eaten by a stray cat. This cat is spotted black and white with a nub for a tail.
4) Tonight, this cat was quite bold in trying to sneak into our house while I was on the couch watching Conan (O'Brien, not the Barbarian, though I was watching "the Destroyer" on G4 yesterday).
5) While deathly allergic to cats, I can't help but want to take this cat in and keep it safe from harm. Maybe it's the alcohol, maybe it's the compassionate, animal-lover in me (save for farm animals meant to be eaten. Chain 'em up, keep 'em in cages, so long as you keep 'em tasting delicious).
6) Boredom and the feeling of loser-ness has set in. I hate my hometown and need to get out before I go insane.
7) My Cross-Country team's alumni race is coming up on Thursday. I will be there to feast on free food.
8) Where are my pants?
9) Jack Bauer is my hero.
10) That is all. Good night.
