Good 9/9/06 wedding pics stillllll in last Journal.
(new stuff I've done, partially stolen from Comment to NoControl: )
I was a bit busy yesterday; went to work (sometimes 8 hours there can be so easy... wish it paid more or had any benefits/ leave time at all), then FINALLY sold my couch, the couch I bought months ago and couldn't fit into my apartment, leaving it sitting in phillipetheotter's basement since June. Craigslist really works, although I wonder why so MANY more potential buyers emailed me this time. Just the fact that it'd been $75 in the past, or maybe college starting leaves people needing furniture? Hated to mark it down to $50, but I just had no idea anyone would beinterested at this point... and Craigslist often has free couches listed, so....
Saw a "secret" show by the Decemberists after that, which wasn't so secret since they leaked the info on the radio yesterday. It was waaay too crowded, as a result... although the normally-iffy, sometimes-rude bar service at Acme seemed downright speedy under the circumstances.
I met Les n Mikael there @ 8, n left around midnight. The band made the mistake of requesting drinks (from competing local newspapers, no less) and got about 30 whiskeys and 5 pitchers of beer, and you could tell towards the end... but their performance of their "concept" EP at the beginning was fantastic. There's part of it where they hit this very-Neil-Young groove for a couple minutes, but the rest is unlike that completely, full of 12-string and balalaika flash. I got to shout along to "The Engine Driver," so I can def say it was worth the $5 (normal Decemberists club-show price? I hear the Crystal show is $28).
My mood and nerve's are really jumpy and rollercoastery lately. It's like I get angsty the second I'm not hanging around friends. I used to do a freakin lot of stuff alone; wish I could be more content like that... although being in new surroundings, with professional life way up in the air, guess that's mood-wonky.
I know I've said Cibo Matto's "Sugar Water" is The Best Video Evare, but I have to say this one is Wes-Andersontastic and serious competition:
