>I don't want to be here today.



Because I'd rather be home in bed, sleeping, or having hot tea or something. I hadn't had caffine in a couple of days, so last night I had about half a Pepsi. It must have been the caffine, or maybe it was all the sugar, but suddenly I was cooking dinner, then quite abruptly I declared: "Let's clean out our closet, it's making me crazy!" We must have gotten rid of like 6 boxes of terrible clothes, clothes that we had gotten too fat for, and some ratty shoes. After we packed up all the boxes, we had Talulah Gosh practice for a while. I don't think it will be as hard as I thought. I almost have "I Can't Get No Satisfaction (Thank God)" all the way, on my first try even. So then we dropped off the boxes at Purple Heart, and almost went to the gym, too. I guess I was pretty wired. Thank goodness we have a clean closet now. Next project: The magazine mess.
Now presenting, my Target wish list. Just in time for the Winter Holidays.

>So where were the spiders?



Last night's game was all about Vlade. He was absolutely on fire. Leon feels good about the Kings this season. So do I. We're going to the Houston game on 11/19, I hope. Leon keeps bragging about my being able to get tickets in the company box, so everyone is all up on my jock.
"Dude, can you get me tickets?"
"No, dude. Now get off because you're all up in my area."
Let's see, what happened this weekend? Friday we did something, I'm sure of it. Oh yes, we played Apples to Apples with some people. That was fun. On Saturday, I went to the eye doctor and they were all, "You're so pleasant to work with, we love you, you have such a positive attitude, you're so easy going, we wish all patients could be like you!" I think they were all up in my area because they felt bad about raising their prices. I mean, I looked pretty shocked when they told me how much the eye exam was now. I guess my eyes have gotten pretty bad since my last visit. For whatever it means, my right eye is 4.00 and my left eye is like 3.25, and I guess that's a lot worse than the old prescription. Before you know it, I'll be blind.
I also went to see a house on 21st & N Street, down the road from the Hull Harem and around the corner from Zelda's. It was okay. The bedroom was super tiny, but the rest of the house was okay. It had a couple of built-ins that were charming, but I love those anyway. Saturday night we went to see From Hell which was so boring, that I fell asleep several times.
Sunday I went to see another apartment. The guy who showed it had stood me up on Friday, so he promised to be there on Sunday. He was, and I looked at it, let him know that I was interested but would like Leon to see it and the guy told me that he'd be home all day if I wanted to see it again. So I called him when Leon got back and the guy was all, "Oh, I have too many people to pick from already, I'll just choose from them, sorry!" Well, thanks for wasting my time, twice. I don't think I make a good impression on landlords because I look so young, and maybe because I have a tattoo. From now on, Leon should go alone.
Tonight I'm going to cook cowboy hot pot.

>Mass, ya tuthless pof.



Last night Amy came over to do Talulah Gosh practice. I'm supposed to be in a cover band I guess, but we're only playing once for the blated halloween / xmas show at the loft. I don't really want to do it that much, but they really want me to participate, so I guess I'll do it. Here's why I'm not thrilled about it:
1. I'm shy sometimes.
2. It's incredibly difficult for me to sing and play at the same time.
3. I don't know Talulah Gosh songs that well.
So we have to pick out three or four songs and practice them like crazy. I'll try to look for guitar tab today, and some inspiring photos so that I can at least try to dress like them. I pulled out The Decline and Fall of Heavenly LP to see if there were any big Amelia or Matthew phots where I could see what they were wearing and I found a really old K catalog of mine. It was the old newspaper style catalog, with the Pastels on the cover. I remember being so excited about music back then, I would try anything on K, Sub Pop, KRS....now, I'm too impatient and jaded.

>Congratulations to the Student of the Month.



Sometimes there's nothing I want more than all new house stuff. Then I remember that it's much more important to pay bills, feed myself and get warmer winter clothes. All our stuff is so ghetto it's embarrasing to have people over. I also wish that I wasn't the only one who did chores throughout the week and not only half of them on Sunday nights.
Last night we took Aniecia and her friend trick-or-treating. "When I get home I'm gonna rot my teeth out!" Kids can be pretty funny.
Later.
