i've given in. i officially adore Regina Spektor. i was on the fence for a while, but she's too cute, and her songs are so weird and catchy.
in other music news, i'll be seeing The Knife when i go to New York. well, we have tickets to a show....who knows if they'll really play though.
and in regards to Gogol Bordello's latest album....we each...

i didn't get the promotion.
mostly i feel bad for my coworker who was going to become assistant manager if i became manager. i hope he doesn't leave. i probably will look for a new job sometime in the future, now that i'm aware of the HUGE gap in pay between assistant manager and manager. plus i'll need a new place to live in about...

yeah, it would be nice if they gave you some kind of compensation for doing the manager's job for a while, maybe they will?
maybe you could try college just so you could collect the green!??
i once did the Denver/Boulder commute for about a year, and it sucked. even if i had had a car, i think it would have gotten old.

jonnytrrrash7:
wow, you're in Maine? i thought it was probably Oregon.
yeah i went to college for like 5 years and never graduated. the only reason i went was because i got a scholarship. it's amazing that i didn't flunk out. in retrospect, i'm glad i went, because i ended up doin' the record store thing which i always wanted to do. hah, big dreams, huh? now i can't do anything else!
congrats on 5 years, that's impressive!

i think the interview went really well....we spent the whole hour laughing and stuff, it helps that i get along with the district managers (and everyone else i know in the office). i'll probably find out if i got the job or not within a week. eeeeeeeee!!

it's too bad you missed the Dresden Dolls at that warehouse branch, that would have beed prime goodness! i wished that i had talked to Kaki King when she did an in-store at the store i work at. i did manage to get a picture with Nelly McKay, and one with Del McCoury.
that some awesome flirting technique those truckers have, they definitely got game!
sounds like the interview went well, good luck!

my official interview for the position of manager is Thursday morning, in the main office. it's gonna suck having to get up early and drive into the city. if it goes well, though, i'm going to have to take a little trip to the mall and do a victory dance in the store i used to work in. the one where they were hesitant to...

the time i saw the Dresden Dolls they def. weren't going out into the audience.
i am still the POS' little bitch
good luck with the interview, nice to have cooking skills to fall back on. you'd never be out of work, unlike me, who only knows how to work in a record store. listen to my show if you can, it starts in 10 minutes or so. go to www.radio1190.org and click "netcast"
hope you had a good weekend!

work's going ok now. the manager and i almost had it out after he somehow overheard me complaining about him to my (hopefully) future assistant manager. but i think we're cool now, though it was a little awkward today. we hired yet another new employee (that makes three new people in like a week). they're all pretty cool, though. next week we're gonna have a...

hah, yesterday was the 1st day under the new regime/point-of-sale system, it's going to take a while to learn the damn thing!
i've heard of older people being intimidated by the downstairs (cd) staff, i'm sure we must me scary to some customers as well. actually we're just a bunch of geeks in reality. if i had hair, i'd definitely go for the purple dye.
i need to see Dusk Till Dawn again!

and yeah, i love the Dresden Dolls, i saw them open for NIN, great stuff. i tried listening to Regina, hasn't really gripped me yet.
i have had it with my manager. i've kept my mouth shut so far on his double-long breaks, his wandering around on shifts with no word on where he's going or what he's doing, his complete lack of doing anything after he's done about two hours of work a day. he's leaving at the end of the month and there's a good chance that i'll...

duder, you aren't kidding. this new POS we got a look at today.....well, i'm no computer guy, but it makes the last one look like Pong or Tinkertoys or something. but i'm guessing once i get accustomed to it (which should be in 4 to 6 months) it actually has alot of capabiltiy and power and what not.
i think it's best to listen to Boris while baked, if at all possible

blame my last post on the rum. i didn't even have much (though the rum and coke tasted suspiciously like rum and NO coke). i shouldn't drink the stuff. it makes me weird...like, gives me promiscuous thoughts and stuff. i don't like that feeling because i can't do anything about it (at least i manage to stay in control in that sense) and then i...

Have you heard the Mars Volta's latest album, Amputecture? It's like a punch in the face with a fist full of awesoeme
my favorite band makes me want to run away and leave my whole life behind and never look back and follow my dreams.
...i don't have any dreams, though.
i'd end up a groupie.
or a stalker.
so it's best i stay here.
it's funny what music can do.

Hi Maude! i've seen you on the boards and such, so i thought i'd say hi. i'm wondering who your favorite band is?
hope you are well!
hope you are well!
i need this game. seriously, i am ordering it as soon as i clock in at work tomorrow. ooh i wanna play it right now!! but it's still not even out in the US yet. 
instead i think i'll go see if i can kick my brother's ass at Soul Calibur for a while, and then try to catch a goddamned shark or tarantula...

do you get to play stuff on the overhead? or do you have any choice over what plays? i used to work at a cafe where we could make our own playlists and that was the shit. great way to turn people onto new musiic.
i really wanted to see that NIN/peaches show. oh well. yeah you should check her and regina out. and i will check out this dahlin girl. that's a good sell
is the new mars volta gonna be more like their first or second, do you know?

so you like dead things?
dog's ok, friend's ok, everything but my checking account is ok.
i went to Portland today for two things:
- coconut milkshake with tapioca pearls
- Davey Jones action figure (i STILL haven't seen the movie, but it's a kickass figure anyway)
i got both of those things. i also came home with:
- all three volumes of the Lenore comic
- Little Apple Doll...

Kittencrap. I really do want a few of those (esp. Ramirez!) Unfortunately, we won't be seeing any of that money for a couple weeks, and at the moment I'm pretty broke. I'm spending the last of my funds on some s3 Dunnys tonight. I'll check with you once I get my next paycheck. I understand if you have to get rid of them before then. How much do you plan on selling for?
maybe someday i'll see Maine. Portland, Oregon is a pretty nice place, though.
