a nice trip to amherst followed by a nice evening with my boy...

i like going to new places i've never been to before, even if they seem benign and unimportant. a few really neat small towns i've been to:

gloucester, maine: a risd field trip to hang out with the last surviving shakers.

macon, georgia: my dad and i stopped here on our way...

so, after a long, hard day of polymer film-ing, i decided to contribute to the economy and be a consumer. seeing as how the last cd i bought was massive attack's blue lines in october, i got me some discs i've been meaning to get for a long time at the used cd place:

lamb(self titled)
machines of loving grace(contemplation)
unkle (psyence fiction)

also, the plan tomorrow night is to have a quick dinner before we leave for western mass, then go to the movies when we get there (IN GOOD COMPANY, pants and i have wanted to see it for a while -- eric from that 70's show, with scarlett johansen and dennis quaid)...

then saturday we'll shop for fabric, get potluck fixin's and chill til the festivities start.

i am thinking about you.

also, bring your camera. it seems really silly to me that we have not been documented together yet.

so fanelli quit. i no longer have a scapegoat at dcl. i'm kinda sad about this.

i've come to realize that dcl IS fucking highschool. my supervisor was talking about this kid that i really don't like, and apparently he rubs him the wrong way too. (he snitched on him to my coworker, and the funny thing is that he is also HER supervisor)...

i've made clear how much i hate it when someone condescends to me at work. i know my job inside and out, new people need a SMACK sometimes. you should just smack him. i already don't like this kid, he reminds me of every lame coworker i've ever had. on the bright side, i've got PECAN so tongue i will take over INSTANT SIGN yet...

guarded is good. slow is good. sleeping is good. i used to fling myself into things, then two months in i'd be all "WHAT THE FUCK!!! not only am i NOT in love, i don't even LIKE this girl!!!"

PS I am the god of work! rock!

And for some practical stuff: Keep it moist but not soggy. Usually this involves a dish with a little water in it, some rocks in the dish, and the pot on the rocks so it sits over the water but not *in* the water...

gah. this is a work-rant post.

too much workie. too much asshole-ery. too much uninformed decisions from designers who are not in the office to take my calls about how their kerning is wrong.

i mean, jesus people! when you specify a -30 kerning, you need to realize that your type will be squished! that little plus or minus means a lot.

my first signshop was owned by a husband and wife with four kids from a grand total of four parents... madness! the kids weren't in preschool or daycare, they just ran around the shop breaking stuff, crying, screaming and fighting... some of those days were a LIVING HELL!!!

the biggest reason i got layed off was because instead of planning the course of the next few months and making improvements based on the productivity boom mark and i created, they argued and they made compromises in their roles in the business that were caused by arguments in their relationship. it was a fucking disaster.

today, i got an email from an old ex boyfriend:

Samurai -

I feel very uncomfortable around you.
I don't want to feel that way when I see you.
I would like to get together soon and talk with you.

my response:

(name withheld),

i'm sorry you feel that way.
but right now, i do not feel like talking.
i am sorry...

i like the words you use.

***

my lady, you sound like you are in need of some venomous, pissed-off, get-the-fuck-out-of-my-way-i'm-living-my-life-for-me-you-fucking-stooge punk rock! i would recommend you dabble online until you find:

"anybody but me" by the DWARVES
"i don't care about you" by FEAR
"i don't like you" and "just fade away" by STIFF LITTLE FINGERS

a sample of "anybody but me":

I don't
Give a fuck about anybody
Give a fuck about anybody
Give a fuck about anybody but me
I said I don't
Give a fuck about anybody but me
So you wanna take my trash out
Are you looking for a hand-out
Better get your little ass out
Cause you'll only be a memory
And if you wanna be a quick hit
You'll get your fucking throat slit
That ain't no bullshit, take it from me
I don't
Give a fuck about anybody but me


a sample of "i don't care about you":

I don't care about you!
Fuck you!
I don't care about you!

I've seen an old man have a heart attack in Manhattan.
Well he just died while we just stood there lookin' at him.
Ain't he cute?

I don't care about you!
Ohhhhhhhhh!
I don't care about you!

I see man rollin' drunks,
bodies the streets.
Some man was sleepin' in puke
and a man with no legs crawling down 5th street trying to get something to eat!

I don't care about you!
Oh noooooo!!
I don't care about you!
Fuck you!
I don't care about you!
Hey! Hey!
I don't care about you!


a sample of "just fade away":

Do you want to know do I love you?
The answer's no, is that straight enough for you?

She asked for it I told her flat
That I don't want no more of that
I've really had you up to here
And I don't even like you near.

If you come round I won't be in
I can't stand to see your face
If we meet up then count me out
Why don't you just fade away?


a sample of "i don't like you":

If a thought came in your head
It'd die of loneliness
You rate absolute zero
No more and not even less
Look at you, oh what a state
Next to you short planks are underweight

Annoyed annoyed, no I'm not paranoid
Cos that would mean I'd have to care
And I couldn't be annoyed

You don't entertain ideas
You simply bore them
You couldn't find your feet
If you were looking for them
Looking at you is hard for me
Next to you is nowhere to be


or you could just come sleep in my bed tomorrow and i will play them all for you wink!

i rode for twenty minutes with a half-flat tire

i couldn't catch up in time to those who could help me

after a brutal exchange, i rode back

took a shortcut through a tunnel half-filled with ice

and fell, bruised my knee but not so much that it was worth mentioning

{you are probably sick of my falling down stories anyway}

the tire finally flattened...
