Oh me, oh my.
What a long day. You know that feeling like you've been punched in the stomach, but it is just because you are so tired? Yeah, I've got that.
1. I rode (a la bicycle) about 15 miles yesterday, mostly to go see a show waaaay in another part of the city. It was a good show. Loud, screaming local punk! Then I went to the bar. And then to see my friend Rach's new apartment, and that was funny...because I found out that she now lives right behind another friend, the one who is in Turkey on honeymoon. I stood in her yard and missed her for a few minutes, and her cats refused to come out of the window to say hi to me. I was hurt.
2. You know the dogs I went on about in my last post? Well, we were (with another organization's persistent prodding) able to get the county to send someone out to investigate, and now there is an "Order to Comply" notice posted on their fence saying the owners have to do all of these things to improve the dogs' living conditions, and if they don't, the dogs will be taken into custody. Finally! Some progress!! I'll keep ya posted. I have a glimmer of hope now.
3. My apartment is becoming infested with Star Wars legos. Jabba's palace came in the mail yesterday, complete with Princess Leia in the skanky outfit she wears in that scene. She even has little lego cleavage.
4. I told my ma via phone that I wasn't coming home (to my grandma's in TEXAS) for Christmas. She was bummed, but she understood. She said she would break it to my grandma for me. Last year there was a big ol' family fight. My grandma called me a "harlot". My cousin told me I had better stop using the lord's name in vain! Last year they tried to sneak meat into the food they gave me. Last year they refused to let me drive a car and so I sat in the spare bedroom watching "Beaches" and "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken" over and over for a week. Those are the only movies my grandma owns. It was a vacation to remember.
5. Today a little girl walked up to me at work and said in the most serious tone: "Your hair is totally AWESOME."
Last week a really bubbly little girl came up to me and asked "Do you like Queen?" and I almost said "Fuck yeah!" but then I caught myself and said "They rock!" instead.
6. This week's movie suggestion: The 40 Year Old Virgin. Then again, you probably already knew that.
