lately.
been busy with school 4 days a week and work 4 days a week. as of halloween weekend, i'm not working at the lake again until next season. though i miss it, especially the girls i work with up there, my car is glad for the reprieve. it takes me twice as long to go through a tank of gas now. fucking spectacular. the major downside to not working at the lake is that fox and hound sucks in pretty much every way possible, and now that i'm there twice as often as i was before, it's that much more evident.
*braden and i aren't really an item anymore. though it is questionable as to whether we ever were an item in the first place, i realize. there aren't any hard feelings, at least on my end. i guess we really haven't talked about it. hah. we just wanted different things, i think. i wanted something closer to a boyfriend and he wanted something closer to a friend. not much anyone can do about that.
*leah and i went to see dave attell last night at the improv. it was awesome, as expected. leah made a good point about comedians vs. musicians-comedians are much more likely to hang out with their fans after a show than musicians. we decided not to stalk dave though, only because it was sunday night and there was work/school to be had in the morning.
*it seems like i've been to just about as many comedy shows lately as actual music shows. it all started when tony and i went to see dave attell back in june. then amber and i had the night of debauchery at the vince vaughn comedy show. we basically spent all night concocting ways to weasle ourselves backstage. comedy whores. hah. there was also the dane cook hurricane katrina benefit show in LA that nate nash, amber, eric and i went to. roseanne barr, kevin neiland and andy dick all performed as well. amazing show.
*the only actual shows that come to memory are: death cab and mae. the former was great...one of my regulars up at the marina does lighting for the marquee occasionally (most recently for mos def. haha) so we just walked in the back door, no tickets and no questions asked and watched the show from the sound/lighting pit. at one point back stage i was standing three feet away from ben gibbard. i'll admit, i got a little girlishly squeamish about that. lame. hah.
*i cant really say that mae put on a good show, because leah and i stood outside and smoked and talked to this kid kyle during pretty much the whole set. seeing benji was rad though, and leah and i both acquired copies of the new mae dvd, the one benji had been working on and filming every time i've ever seen him these last few years. i hung out with the guys for a while after the show at the hotel and bus. nothing too exciting to report there, i ended up leaving pretty early.
*oh, i guess there was also the failed attempt at seeing the format in tempe. karin and i were unaware of the small size of the venue, or of the fact that they would stop selling tickets when the place was only half full (or that's what i think happened). anyway, we didn't have tickets so we went and smoked hookah at sinbads instead. fun times. that place was a trip, it's almost as if when people walk in there they completely forget about orally transmitted diseases. sure, people will share the pipe with friends, no big deal. but i saw one of the employees hitting off of a couple of different customers pipes to get them going, both before and after the customer had put their mouth on it. then, we were accidentally given the wrong hookah, and after we had already smoked out of it the employee came and fetched it and put it in front of the people that ordered it. no cleansing or changing of pipes involved. maybe i'm too stuck up, or maybe i'm just too afraid of oral herpes, but i think i'd be hesitant to go there again.
*i really want to go to japan over winter break. then i realized that a week in japan, with spending money would be about $2000. for some reason i thought flights would be a lot cheaper. anyway, that's not looking like it's going to happen.
*marko moved to washington on saturday morning. i heard everyone cried before they left cheers. kinda wish i woulda stuck around for that. fuck that crazy tittied bitch (melissa jo, a whole other story i dont feel like going into now) and fuck myself for allowing her to drag me away from that. i'm sorry marko.
today.
*went to the only class i have on monday, invertebrate zoology. there was no class, just people turning in the optional rough draft of the term paper that i have yet to start. basically i got up and went to school today for nothing. i'm not too worried about it (the paper), if there's one thing i have become good at it's writing papers last minute.
*i would've stayed at school and gotten some work done in the computer lab, but there was the issue that i was starving and also out of cigarettes. so i left. not before i registered to be a bone marrow donor at the drive the school was having today. it's been something that i've been wanting to do ever since keri got sick. so weird to think that often a complete stranger has DNA more similar to yours than your own siblings do. science is strange.
*went to ah-so for a sushi lunch by myself. that's not really noteworthy, except that until about 4 months ago i hated sushi. i've been trying to make myself like the stuff since the first time i tried it at 16, and well, my persistence paid off. i now crave sushi. the whole "acquired taste" thing boggles my mind. how we can make ourselves try things we dont like over and over again until somehow, miraculously, our tastes change? brains are weird.
so now i'm home writing this, and listening to my new "say hi to your mom" cd. i wanted to stop by keri's house and see the kids today, but david never called me back. bummer. now i have to get ready for work and the insanity of monday night football.
