    BusterK, tonight I had a brief SMS conversation with a phone number that seems familiar but is not in my contacts. Should I ask this mystery person to reveal themselves or should I try cracking this case on my own!?

    I'm not BusterK, but I do own a DVD of BusterK.

    Send them a picture of your genitals. Their reaction should give you a clue as to who they are.

    You already had a conversation?
    I don't think I would ever message someone on my phone I didn't know
    Just ask them
    It's the easiest thing to do and it's only embarrassing for a little bit
    I can't think of anyway to suss out who they are except dropping a lot of "Guess Who" clues that could go terribly wrong
    "So did you fix your glasses" flip flip
    "How's the rogaine working" flip flip
    "Boy it sure is great to be white isn't it?" flip flip flip flip flip flip flip

    You can get a wonderful apartment the size of a walk in closet
    Also with no parking
    But there is rent control so you can be sure nothing will ever get fixed

    Don't live in Santa Monica
    Go for the areas just East
    I live in West Los Angeles
    There's also Palms, Mar Vista and Culver City
    All viable options just make sure the neighborhood isn't too skeezy for you and make sure it comes with an air conditioner
    Air Conditioning is very important

    Also don't live in Venice unless you're cool with naked dudes smoking pot and transients parking their campers in front of your apartment and using your street as their lawn

    what buster is saying is that you should think of what you want to say beforehand and write down phrases on various walls/ceilings/pieces of furniture in your home

    that way, you can just read out loud whatever is in front of you

    Maybe wear an earpiece and have a friend help you out
    Like a really smutty Cyrano De Bergerac
    For extra authenticity make sure the person on the earpiece really digs her too

    also as general advice, get as close to work as you can

    especially in santa monica, trying to get in/out of there during the week can be kinda hellish (also the weekend, and holidays)

    i lived in koreatown for a year, and while it was far from pristine, it was a relatively quiet area with mostly families living there and little to no street crime

    you can find nice places in places you wouldn't expect, but you gotta hunt pretty hard for em

    @Usagi go to bed when you want
    Just don't have anything near you that connects to the Internet if you want to sleep
    My wife likes to read
    I enjoy listening to music or sometimes podcasts
    And occasionally if there's a good crazy ass guest Coast 2 Coast AM
    The important thing is to not have light shining on your eyes and let yourself wind down

    Counting really does work because it's so boring
    Think about boring things and your mind will drift off

    That just means your knee wants to join a dance crew

    Oddly enough the same thing happened to me
    I had to see a physical therapist who told me I had to build up the muscles around the knee. Your butt muscles, your thigh muscles, your calves. I also had to wear tape for a while that kept my kneecap from wobbling around everywhere. Yeah, see a doctor but for now try squats with no weight and your back against the wall. Stand on your toes and try lying down and doing leg lifts with one foot planted sole on the floor.

    Sit down, and prepare yourself a strict list as to what should be on your diet.
    Consider all nutritional benefits and downfalls to each choice.
    Be strict. Be merciless. Prepare your list.
    A week later, check the list and laugh helplessly when it sinks in that you've ignored its edicts entirely and snorked back three bags of Cheese Poofs.
    So, go to Plan B.
    Get an electric dog collar.
    If you live with someone, give them the remote.
    Insist that if you eat any junk food, they should shock you.
    Insist that if they see any chip crumbs on your shirt, they should shock you.
    Insist that if they feel it necessary to ask if you ate any pretzels, they should shock you.
    See, you'll inevitably cheat on your vow.
    They won't.

    I might have a channel. Social commentary. Mebbe.

    Perish the thought of eating and just drink experimental mixtures of hard liquor in fishbowl size quantities.

    You'll not only find that you are full, energetic, and satisfied as your blood-alcohol level skyrockets, but also that your doctor will be amazed at the health of you liver and the amount of nutrients you've been getting. In addition you will likely be more productive at work and may even be encouraged to drink on the job and during your commute.
