Malls suck. Work clothes suck. Shopping for work clothes in malls sucks extra bonus levels.

Either I lack fashion sense, or they do. Or maybe both. confused

ARG! Your comment makes the third today that I have deleted by mistake! (Slaps wrist.)

On a brighter note, thanks for the good wishes. Gift memberships are always a good idea for SG weddings. wink

I've successfully avoided the mall for five months.

New entry needed. Last entry was whiny and must be eradicated.

So, I just finished watching "Hedwig and the Angry Inch." Therefore, I cannot be in a bad mood anymore. That movie fucking rocks. love

No shows until Yo La Tengo at the end of the month. Whatever shall I do? confused

The carpet looks great. And the wet dog smell only lasted for a couple of...

Hedwig is the best movie. It's a little known fact that Hedwig is the secret inspiration behind my screen name. biggrin

Oh. I missed your last journal. It wasn't whiny at all. shocked I wanted them to play 405. I got photobooth so that was enough for me.

Well. I'll come out to the bonfire soon. I can't drink and I have to remember to catch the bus though. biggrin Do you know which bus goes to the bonfire?

I love Hedwig! biggrin

Death Cab, The Thermals and Ben Kweller were last night. The Thermals kicked ass, as usual, and their new stuff sounds quite promising. Neither of us can stand Ben Kweller, so we were down in the bar for his set. It was piped into the room though, so unfortunately we could still hear it. Death Cab was good, but EnergyChannel's utter lack of enthusiasm didn't...

Work is over. I'm officially a lady of leisure. This could be cool and strange all at the same time. I haven't been unemployed since the couple of months after I graduated college in 2000. Luckily, my agency chose to lay me off in the beginning of the beautiful weather season. biggrin

And there was much rejoicing. smile

Okay, report of night #1:

EnergyChannel insisted that BRMC were headlining, not opening. I insisted the opposite. Since we did not care about seeing the Rapture, the answer to this question was very important. After grabbing some delicious bar food, and being antsy around him for about half an hour, we left for the show. A sign on the door at the Roseland said that...

Odd weekend, in that it was a mix of socializing extremes. I was either a total hermit or a social butterfly with a bunch of you SG kids. Party on Saturday, which was tons of fun. I met a couple of out-of-towners, including Cedar and Maxx, drank a bit more than I ate, but still managed to be one of the more sober ones...

You're gonna have to edit your journal now to add TV on the Radio. Oh, and the Roxy was closed?! Who knew they weren't open on Mondays?

It makes me sad that the new Wilco is not so good. It's actually pretty annoying on the first listen. The only song I liked was Handshake Drugs, and it's from an earlier ep they released. Sigh. What happened, guys? Your earlier stuff was so much better. Did you OD in the direction of avant-garde and just end up making a crappy album? skull

I have not made the purchase yet. Say it ain't so!
Maybe I'll just have to keep listening to the Loose Fur CD.

Good luck with the gettin' on the unemployment thing.

Guess I should update, since we've been back from the woods for a number of days now. I think I'm experiencing cabin hangover. It's kind of like cabin fever, except that it is the desire to remain inside the cabin, and never leave. Ever.

We had a blast, needless to say. It was secluded, with a river in our backyard, a hot tub off our...

I think itsx actually written in law that you cannot refuse an opportunity to work in your field and then collect unemployment. Have you figured out the health insurance thing?

Okay. Things are looking up a bit. Thanks to everyone for the well-wishing and suggestions and everything else. I had a meeting with HR today and I can get on unemployment, so that will be a bit of a cushion for a while. Medical and dental benefits will have to go away though, as I'm not going to pay $300 a month. So I just...
