Not a bad day off. Bid on records and switchblades on eBay. Went out and bought a bunch of records (!). Ate a ridiculous amount of Chinese food, and now.....here I sit!
There isn't a helluva lot goin' on tonight, and it's really cold outside (for Texas). Yep, I'm stayin' home.
I've been so deeply immersed in the retail side of the holidays that I...

score on the records. well, about the red vinyl, i personally dont have any more, i didn't get that many to start out with, i'll have to contact the guy who's putting it out to see if he has more. otherwise, you might have to settle for black! sorry! how much are they selling it for anyway? i hope its like 2 bucks. i don't know if you ever listen to Stronger Than Dirt on KOOP, but he played two of our songs last night. it was pretty rad. still hate hearing my own voice, tho.
GOD, it feels good to have 2 days off ahead of me! I'm going to set my alarm for 6:30 a.m., so I can get up and realize that I can go back to bed. Maybe I'll hit snooze for 3 hours!
Work went by very quickly. I got very little done, cuz I was swamped with phone calls, emails, etc. I got taken out...

I'LL KILL THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS THAT OUTBID YOU.
Today at work, some guy insinuated that I was some kinda Jew-hating Nazi because we didn't have a big ol' honkin' Hannukah music section. Hmmmm....I'll keep that as an anecdote, and not turn it into a diatribe. I don't hate any race of people. If I did, I would think of more effective ways of causing them grief than depriving them of their holiday music....

Oh, yeah, I'd never blame it on mom, but it's cool if you wanna. And a mighty fine 61' LP/SG custom RI you got there.

Yes, mission accomplished. 
Did you point the guy to your fine collection of Barry Manilow, Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond albums. Oh I forgot Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen...

My new boots arrived in the mail today! Just your standard steel toe motorcycle boots. Wore my other ones down to nothin'! Time for some serious blistering.
Ebay continues to kick my ass: scored a Sewergrooves 10" EP, and a New Bomb Turks 7". Speaking of NBT, the R'n'R standoff continues! That's basically all I've played these past 3 days, other than the new Ryan...

I've been rockin' New Bomb Turks "Information Highway Revisited" over and over and over again!!! It's like a Rock 'n' Roll enema! SQUIRT! !
Thanks for all the concern over "The Call". I made it. Got no response. No big deal. Que Sera Sera.
I scored an Electric Frankenstein Picture Disc on eBay. My first kill! I got outbid on all my Hellacopters items. Bastards!...

buy the couch for me to sleep on.
Today was one of those FREE THINGS days I rave about all too often. Instead of listing my haul, I'll just say it was a bunch of cool stuff. It was like Christmas in December. WAIT! No, it was like Christmas 24 days early. It'll happen again soon enough.

i don't know if it is too far to walk. i suppose it depends on how much time you have and if your shoes are comfortable.

come over and let's get indian, i'm hungry like the wolf.
Working on my day off is no fun, especially when I'm not getting paid for it. Yet another pitfall of being a salaried employee. It wasn't THAT bad, but I would have rather been doing something else. Business has been pretty slow. I think it's due to the fact that most of the shopping crowd is out at the malls.

Hey! I'm mariah now. I think maybe I'll change my name everyday. Nah, this crazy stalker came from a message board on another site (which never would've happened here since SG has such good moderators)-which has since closed itself down since I threatened legal action, HA. Anyhoo. So how is the new Ryan??? YUM! I still haven't gotten any of the new stuff. I NEVER buy cds anymore but I have been tempted for him...hmmmm!
My friend is a moron. Last Wednesday, she asked me if I wanted to go out for Indian food today. Of course, who wouldn't? So, she starts calling me at 11 this morning with the string of calls telling me that it won't be much longer. At 4:45, she finally calls to ask if I wanted to go eat dinner at 10:30 tonight. What!?!

Ok, if it's only been two weeks, I'm sure things will work out. If it was a year and a half, and I was gonna have little hope. But awesome. I hope it all works out beautifully.

Imagine if they'd caught you with Yoo Hoo! 
Your greasy ol' buddy is battle-weary from the holiday shopping blitzkrieg! I've been putting in REALLY long hours. The irony of the situation is that business has been terrible. It's the preparation for all the folks who didn't show up that took so much time. Pray for me, my friends...for I have 5 more weeks of this!

ugh, i HATE christmas season in retail! luckily they let me stay in the back room most of the days i am there, but it's still chaos nonetheless. and they been sending christmas junk since july so my eyes are starting to burn from all the green and red.
yea, i think the holidays are just overwhelming at this point. i'm going to eat with my family and then sleep a lot the rest of the time i don't have any obligations. that's about all i really want to do. and then before i know it, it'll be january and my birthday will be around the corner!
i have had a nice weekend, but i have gotten absolutely no homework done. so i think i should go do that now. how has yours been?

11 hours at work is not my idea of a holiday, but at least I got fed. There were very few customers in the store all day. I have to be back at 6 tomorrow morning. The fun just never ends! Hope y'all had a gut stuffing good time today. Man, that wind is pickin' up! It's supposed to get very cold here soon. I'm...

work at the restaraunt was really slow today which I appreciated....got all my jobs done and got out of there early...nothing but laundry waiting for me when I got home but I'm one of those sick fucks who loves laundry...I think only because I love clothes..(dont tell).
What did you think of the R.R. Jerk? It's not for everyone but it helps me sometimes...Still completely lost in the Perfect Circle cd....ya'know, get in the car...turn it to 10...and everything is allright..
Tell me when a good show is coming and we'll do the Austin thing again..see ya'.

Work is officially kickin' my ASS! I've worked SO much this week, and I have to work tomorrow too. As if that is not enough, I have to be at work at 6:00a.m. on Friday. As if THAT wasn't enough, I have to work on Sunday, one of my days off. I'm not wallowing in self pity. That's alot of work. Did I mention that...

The store is open on Thanksgiving? Yuck. Or are you still trying to get caught up?
You rock!
You rock!
_bossanova_:
yes sir, I have the best family in the world here in Austin: my aunt Susanna, her husband, and my two fabulous little cousins that look like children of the corn (they are from the white-bread side of the family). I LOVE Austin! I want to live here, but it's too expensive for a single girl like me right now. if I'm lucky, one day I'll be able to see Touch of Evil in the theater. I've seen Rear Window on the big screen, and that was amazing. and to answer your other question, yes, I have been to Brazil 3 times so far and it is the most simultaneously beautiful and appalling place I've ever been to. I have a gigantic family down there, so I love to go. sheesh. this is the day I've spent the most time missing family for a long time. I guess that's what Thanksgiving is for hope you get to eat lots of turkey & pie!
hope you get to eat lots of turkey & pie!I hope you didn't pay full price to get in, cuz this is really gonna suck! All I did was work today. I didn't stop to do anything fun. Well, I did tape my AMN segment, which is always fun. The girl who films it is SO adorable. She always makes me happy...until she talks about her boyfriend 
! Well, he's a lucky man, kid,...

A Touch of Evil is amazing. It's nice to see someone else thinks so, too. Don't forget the peaches.
