 		[Update]Bruce's Blog June 12, LIVE DALE call!
Enaxor caught the update.

You Know, I’m Not Made of Money

No wonder we’re a nation of debt. I’ve worked hard to crawl back from my booze-filled AMEX abusing exploits, but Diana and Meaghan, between the Nintendo products, the periwinkle hand towels and our seemingly endless expenditures at Trader Joes, seem absolutely destined to stay in the RED.

Our latest conundrum? Diana brings me her cell phone bill ~ Meaghan had 17 hours worth of calls to one number 484-951-0329. Yeah, guess who, right? I mean, I have plenty of sympathy for both of them, but paying a $200 phone bill because of it is a little rough, no? I’d given Meaghan total reign over the land line, but her privacy is incredibly important to her right now ~ she’s still pretty pissed off at me (and her mom, actually).

This Sarah girl has plenty of charm, sure, but she’s not Joan of Fucking Arc. Regardless, she’s becoming a major pain in my ass.

Sorry, kind readers, I’m a little angry this evening. My big campaign just kicked off with a Web and phone initiative and I find myself in a most perplexing conundrum. I’m bringing home the bacon doing something that is very overtly causing major rife en la casa del Bruce. I left the city and my liver-frying exhibition for this???

Well, it’s still better than that.

How about that Sopranos finale, though? I thought it was perfectly Chekhovian. The upper-middle class New Jersey-ites ~ seemingly so content, yet their happiness predicated on suffering and lies.

Gee, sound like anyone you know?

OK, I’m not even sure what I meant by that. Certainly not how I feel about my home life, it’s more of a vibe around town… the notion that the truth is so hard to face that everyone prefers to turn their cheek and indulge in a hefty serving of tiramisu.

On the Bruce Abbott Likes It List

New Music from:

Gnarls Barkley
Zero 7
Paul Oakenfeld

Movies:

Carol Ballard’s Duma on DVD (seriously, if you have kids rent this ~ the guy’s a master. Meaghan even went out of her way to say thanks, which, in the current state of our home is like Elton John sending a fruit basket to George Bush)

Check in with you guys soon.




Calling the number gives us Dale Sprague. The first call I got the voicemail ("This is Dale, please leave a message"... thing)
When I called back to get the exact wording I got Dale directly!
Shocked

The only thing I could think of saying was
/me "Hi Dale?"

Dale:yes.

/me "This is Steffeny. Did you know Bruce posted your number in his Blog?"

Dale: "No, I didn't."

/me "Well he did."

Dale: "That probably explains all the phone calls I've been getting. The phone kept ringing so I thought I should answer it. Thanks for telling me."

/me "Ok, well, bye."


*edit*
/me won't be able to sleep tonight. Can we say 'Adrenaline rush?' Good I knew you could.

 		I will have to call tomorrow and discuss the council meeting {when is it, can outsiders come, will there be reporters, does he know if the rest of the council has seen the petition, why hasn't he signed yet... etc etc etc}

with any luck, he will answer.

 		Aw that's so cool! I can't ring him from the UK, my mum would probably kill me over the phone bill!

 		Haha, I've been calling him from Skype with my microphone unplugged. Even if he did pick up, I wouldn't have been able to plug the microphone in and grab it and utter a wild "Hiii" before he'd hung up.

No, I'm pretty sure the link between Meaghan and Dale was the emphasis.

 		I can't call him until my novicane wears off.... But after the email he sent me today, if i can get through we have a LOT to talk about. If anyone else gets through, ask him about the alternate plans him and sarah are working on!
