I just wrote a nice little ditty that I have to do a once-over. It’s about straight boy tongues. I know monkmonk and I had a oh so brief discussion about this in regards to Rufus Wainwright. I started thinking about it, and well… I’ll post it when it’s ready.
And since it’s NBA finals again, I’m feeling the whole hetero thing again. I wrote a stupid essay about it a year ago, but I think I’ll resurrect it and make it pretty. *shrugs*
Last night urbanemonkey forced be to go up to Santa Barbara. Actually, we had made plans earlier, but I couldn’t find a place to sleep. I backed out on Thursday, but then she convinced me again that night. So I made the 110-mile trek to my former abode in relatively light traffic with Urbanemonkey’s roommate C_ right after work.
During the daytime, I would love to listen to KXLU since they play good ole rock ‘n roll during the day until around 6pm. The problem is that my office gets shitty reception and I can’t stream it on my computer at work. Fortunately after 6, there’s KSPC which picks up where KXLU leaves off. The problem is that the reception is bad from my apartment. On cloudy days, I also get interference from the Santa Barbara signal for KUSC. It’s quite annoying. On a lighter note, it makes me reassured that this sort of thing is what is bugging me most in the day. 🙂
My new clerk started today, so it was training training training. He showed up in shirt and tie and slacks which is funny. I’m really hoping he tones that shit down. Wear real clothes like jeans and tshirt or something. *shrugs* He does seem to pick up on things well so that’s a good sign. I have to prepare for a department meeting on Friday.
Oooooooh!!!!!!!!! Santa Barbara on Friday! WOOOooooooOOo Hoo!!!!!!!!
I went and saw Xmen with C., R., S. and A. It was really good. Being the pretentious artfagsnob I am, I was surprised at how well it was done. I had a couple of problems with it, but overall it was yummy.
As you can see, there is a new icon. I *heart* my digital camera. Expect every boring facet of LA to be captured by it. I already got City Hall last night, which looks pretty sexy actually. I’ll do some Photoshoppy goodness to it and all will be well.
I’m downloading e-books right now. I got a political satire piece “Right” by James Robert Baker and am currently plundering Alt-X Publishing (home of Mark Amerika). So I’ll see how it is to read a book on the computer. I’m amazed I haven’t done it yet to be quite frank. Boop.
Note to self… write more.
So it’s been one helluva day. I got the camera, a Sony Cybershot DSC-S70. It’s cool. My cousin got it from a friend who never used it. Apparantly he didn’t have the USB cable. Since it’s Sony and they tend to be a pain in the ass about compatibility (read, the outlet on the camera was too small for any cable), I ended up getting one of those memory stick readers. Eh.
The rain that I’ve been bitching about the past few days has finally arrived. Now this isn’t the light showers that everyone thinks California has. No. This was a winter storm in May. I am very annoyed about it. The only good part is that I got to drive my new car in the rain, so I know how it performs in such conditions. Blah.
It’s been an action-packed night sorta. I ended up buying Amores Perros and Blur’s Greatest Hits on DVD. Mmmm…. I just realized that the two movies I’ve bought on DVD so far have been foreign films. Tee hee.
And apparantly I’m getting a digital camera tomorrow from my cousin. I *heart* my family and they *heart* me. 😀
I have an itch for live music. I love downloading live music. I’m downloading a live version of that song (the subject title) right now. I downloaded a bunch of live Unwound songs. Does anyone know of any good places that have live Unwound songs? The people on Kazaa don’t seem to have any when I’m on there.
I was out with urbanemonkey tonight. We were going to celebrate R___’s birthday, but he decided he would stay home and play video games. Whatever. We’ll probably party more tomorrow night.
Who wants to come shopping with me this weekend?
I’ve had this headache since about 2-ish this afternoon. Here’s my reaction:
I’m being a bad person. I haven’t made plans for the funeral yet. Perhaps I’ll go bar-hopping tomorrow night. Hmmm…. That sounds very tempting.
…and why are we still getting rain? Yeah, we need the rain yadda yadda yadda. But our rainy season has passed. I don’t really complain about it in the winter time, but it’s half-way through spring now. The good sign is that I will get a car wash out of it. Tee hee. Me so lazy….
I’m very close to hiring someone to fill my position. I’m not entirely happy with the applicant, but eh. I need someone ASAP. Do any of you want a job where you’re underpaid? I didn’t think so.
