oi oi oi,
rockin' the holidays in my hometown in northeastern pennsylvania. it could be better and it could be much worse.
holidays are a shattered climax in our family. no one is talking to each other for a few years now and what was once a large and loving family is a series of fractured cells. thanksgiving without the pretense of family and fancy dressing is just dinner. i hate the idea that i came all of the way down here to have dinner! i woke up at 2 and we ate at 2:30, my mom and brother were in their pajamas (i got fancied up trying to make an effort). bleh. it tasted good. but whatever.
later on that night The Pants came over and we played SCRABBLE with my mom and she beat the living shit out of us. it was embarrassing.
MOM: wow. i beat the shit out of you guys.
PANTS: you sure did.
ME: yeah. you did.
MOM: and i did it so fast and with so little effort...
ME: yeah, um, we're gonna go now...
after that we tracked down our mutual best friend of the last ten years and his quasi-girlfriend. they apparently are living together in the more-depressing side of town. we met up with them (i hadn't seen him since he came up to boston to visit me about four months ago). we also grabbed the dooge, my surrogate younger brother. we went bowling. i suck at bowling. i also hate bowling ally's.
given the choice between group activities to do with friends, i prefer the following:
1. dancing at club or show
2. board games
3. laser tag
4. miniature golf or putt putt
5. pool (once every three years)
after the bowling, we went to a diner and had cheeseburgers (AWESOME!!!!) and then we drove back to my mom's and watched BEST OF THE BEST (the karate movie) on DVD (MORE AWESOME!!!) and then i drove chris and my friend dooge home.
the drive down to PA was the biggest suck that ever sucked. its normally a five and a half hour drive, but on wednesday night it took us nine and a half hours. it took us over two and half hours to get from my house to worcester on the mass pike (normally a forty minute ride). The Pants flipped out and said he was taking the next exit no matter what and i should pick up the map to get us home using only state and county roads, no interstates. sooo, we drove all the way through connecticut at 45 miles per hour on country-backroads. it was kinda fun but it just took forever. also, our map was 30 years old, so a lot of the roads did not exist any longer or were scheduled for completion but never finished
. totally fun though. we rock as a navigation duo. we didn't lose ANY time in connecticut (as traffic would've held us up much more).
unfortunately, we ended up MISSING the an albatross/swims show that we were trying to get to down here in NEPA (fuck that
!).
on the way down, we rocked all kinds of great music. The Pants has an MP3 player, so i programmed all of our favorite songs into the queue (and i accidentally programmed the entire catalog of nine inch nails in on accident, so every third, fourth and fifth song was by nin, which started to make us delirious after a while, because most everything else was bouncy, fun and punky).
a brief look at what we rocked:
SPACEHOG l SLEATER-KINNEY l POP WILL EAT ITSELF l SOCIAL-DISTORTION l VENOM l MOTORHEAD l ANTHRAX l NINE INCH NAILS l ROYAL NOISE BRIGADE l BUZZCOCKS l THE BUSINESS l TSUNAMI BOMB l FEAR l JANES ADDICTION l BOUNCING SOULS l MARILYN MANSON l BLONDIE l STIFF LITTLE FINGERS
thats about all i can remember right now.
i'm gonna get dressed and go to k-mart (i gotta buy a lock for my brothers door and some floor wax) and do a bunch of housework for my mum while she is at work.
i'll do that replying thing later when i have a chance.
