ever since i moved alone, i have missed having cable, or even regular reception tv. however, not until last night did i really feel like i need to be more involved in current events. my mom called and was really upset about the whole katrina thing. (that's what i'm calling it by the way - katrina thing) i was like, yeah, that sucks that the city is in shambles. however, i quickly found out how bad it really is. i was astounded and felt very stupid. what? that many people are dying? what? murders? huh? yeah - aya who used to be the current events mama has apparently checked out and checked into her lala land of no media. except the sopranos, of course. i wish i had money to donate to some of the hurting people right now, but the honest truth is that i can hardly afford to fill my fucking gas tank anymore. i think i'm going to sell my car while i can. it is just not worth it anymore.
today started off well - i went out to breakfast with ali and then had coffee with a friend, with one dead turtle thrown in somewhere in the mix. i'm playing at miguel's stowaway or something like that tonight - 10:00 everyone should come! i haven't really practiced at all, which is always a great feeling to have as the evening approaches. i'll have an hour to practice the lyrics with dan, so that should be enough. i have to go to work this afternoon, and i am on my way to my japanese class. what a bad bad student i am. at least i didn't try to fake an american accent as i spoke japanese in the class, cuz to be perfectly honest, i did think about doing that.
got a little tipsy last night and ended up dancing at nectars to some hippie band named after broth. or maybe that's just how i interpreted the name. there are only two slight problems here:
1. dancing. i do not dance in public. in fact, i don't even dance alone. what the hell was i thinking?
2. dancing like a hippie. what? i definitely don't do that! sorry guys - no offense to hippies... i typically only date them, its just
that i can never see myself actually being one.
oh wait. there's a third.
3. a band named after broth? maybe i just had the name wrong... but i could swear it was called boullion or something. who knows, i was
having a dangerous affair with so-co and lime.
