i think my subconscious wants to depress me. i had a very vivid dream last night about apartment-hunting in NYC (something i only dream i could do) and in the dream i found a really nice, like split-level place for $750. it was beautiful. going back to NYC in the spring/summer is going to kill me. i will leave claw marks on the bus station...

at first i thought Regina Spektor's song with the "crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin" line was funny, though dark-sounding. then i keep obsessing over her and find out it's called Chemo Limo and is one of the saddest songs i have ever heard. and now it's my favorite song by her.
why does everyone assume that because i like one artist, i must like every other...

I totally thought 'Show your Bones' was weak - what a diappointment! I still love them though... I heart NY bands in general, but not The Strokes! 
jonnytrrrash7:
i can never really explain what i like about something. it's surprising i've lasted in music retail for so long!
i've been meaning to check out Regina. she came into the store and bought some cd's the last time she was here. of course, i missed out on that.
while i do love some Joni Mitchell songs, i can see not digging her. she put on one of the best shows i ever saw.
i like your idea of music bringing out the beauty in things you wouldn't necessarily think that about!

mmm, purple pomegranate tea and kiwi. i had colors for breakfast.
i am so into Regina Spektor right now that it's not even funny. the only thing i don't have of hers (besides singles) is the second disc of the deluxe edition of Begin to Hope - and i'm thinking of trading my regular one towards it. last night i worked the last four hours...

awww....i want to get my boyfriend this BAPE hoodie for Christmas. but they're obscenely expensive and the majority of the ones on ebay are fakes (one i was watching earlier got taken down by the time i checked back after work). a couple of the ones i was watching looked legit, but the payment info was in the exact same garbled phrasing even though they...

Wow, what the hell did I type in my last comment? Oops.
It was hard to make it look like a muffin and not a MUSHROOM!

There are a couple girls already making mushroom scarves so I think I will step aside on that one!
the zipper on one of my boots is ripping. stupid zippers, ruining everything. the boots were pretty cheap, but not even close to worn out, and i was already planning on spending a bunch of money on clothes i need (already spent some) and now this...plus i really hate buying shoes. one of my least favorite things to shop for in the world. i bought...

hah, we have fear of shoe shopping in common! (i knew there was a reason i liked you

i personally think that zippers on any kind of shoes is just wrong.

i'm checking their myspace now, sounds pretty good! thanks for the link.
did you survive Black Friday ok?

well, friday and saturday were relatively busy, but up in the vinyl dept. we rarely experience the excruciating retail crush that my poor brothers and sisters have to suffer through in the cd dept. i had a handful of $100 to $200 sales, which is great for vinyl these days.
that's ridiculous that you had to waste that time at the store. complaining probably wouldn't help, would it?

so both the manager and myself somehow completely forgot about the super early/late holiday hours (hey, this time last year i didn't even have a key there yet). this means i have to be in at 6:30 a.m. on Friday to open the store at 7, and no one else will be in until 10. 
motherfuckers are crazy if they're out shopping that early anyway.

i got my Wii no problem yesterday, just walked into the store i worked and paid the balance after my deposit. picked up an extra controller and Monkey Ball, then went to 3 other stores (which took under half an hour) and found Zelda.
the only thing i need now is another nunchuck but i don't NEED it yet.
i love Nintendo and i LOVE my job.
And I love you... 
i'm in need of new underwear. where do i get some nice stuff??? no lace, frills, etc. just nice thongs and stuff. also, bras. i currently have one that i wear regularly because my boobs got bigger and everything in my size except for the one bra i wear all the time is padded. WHY??? you can't get a non-padded one unless your boobs are...

there should be a cute underwear shop around BESIDES "VS."
Wii = 
and we thought there was no way we'd get ahold of Zelda...we found a copy at the fourth store we went to. no luck on a second nunchuck, but we'll find one eventually. we just can't play a couple of mini games in Monkeyball or do two-player Wii Sports boxing, but everything else has been tons of fun so far. Tennis is AWESOME...

yeah, it's way past your bedtime, young lady!
SO...we had a crazy windy storm thing here, a power line was knocked over in my neighborhood and because my house sucks ass and nothing is grounded (and the old surge protector really didn't work at all), my power supply blew. and then it was time to go to New York. but i got a special surge protector and a new power supply so i'm...

what's Wii??
glad to hear you are back in internet-land, although NYC sounds like way more fun. i haven't been there in years. i've been there twice and both times i felt like a country bumpkin with a target painted on my back. my friend drove us out there one time, we had a friend who lived in Soho. After getting the car towed in Philly, someone decided to slash 3 of his tires while parked outside of said friend's apt. we had to take 2 tires on the subway into Brooklyn, where we find a garage run by Hassidic Jews. While we're waiting, this guy with no teeth is attempting to talk to us. Couldn't understand a word he said, we just smile and nod. The highlight was getting to see Fred Frith at the Knitting Factory, and having to ask Willem Dafoe to move because his party were in out seats.
i have some friends in Brooklyn, so i'm hoping to visit them soon. hopefully i won't feel so lost this time!
i hope getting buzzed after work doesn't turn into a habit for you, but i really can't talk, i'm cracking a beer open soon!
did you guys get those Tenacious D promo masks? i'm going to post pics of them soon, if i ever decide to update

no salaried position for me...suck suck sucky suck. but at least i got that raise and it turns out i'm NOT actually an assistant manager, though i can apply to be one and get like another 50-75 cents an hour, IF i get it, after i re-submit my resume and go through ANOTHER interview. yippee. meanwhile the new manager is making a livable wage and...

yeah, tell me about it. i wish space wasn't so expensive! i'm a pack rat and have loads of toys, t shirts and records that need to be properly displayed! in fact, half of my shit sits in a storage locker, it's rather sad...
jonnytrrrash7:
yeah, sister, here's to actually taking toys out of their packaging. oh damn, i de-valued my collection!
i'm actually thinking about ditching alot of stuff, maybe on ebay. you accumulate so much, and then it's like, what's the point?
