Happy Birthday To Me (Sort Of)
So today is my birthday, the big 2-3.
I began my birthday by turning down a friend for breakfast, and instead walking to the hardware store to buy fuses because we didn't have any when one blew last night. Although there's nothing I could have done last night, I just realized this morning our fridge was connected to said circuit. I think everything's okay.
Tonight I will go to Banchero's with pretty much the only people that are still left. I feel so SF native-y. Haha not really. Here is where I'm going. So many old ladies! I used to go here on my birthday with my parents (because it was Christmas vacation from school so I had no friends around to join me...), and they had this very long 70s lounge bar. Where the bar itself was low and instead of bar stools they were brown leather swivel chairs. The kind with buttons impacted on the cushions. This is the first time I will have been back to this awesome place since high school, and the first time I'll be able to enjoy a cocktail in the ugly awesome lounge! I hope they didn't remodel-- travesty.
Speaking of cocktails, I think I'll enjoy one right now. Brandy and coke anyone?
Edit: The Yo La Tengo song mentioned in my previous entry-- Christ. I have been playing that song non stop it feels like. It's only 2:42, too! Surprisingly it took a little bit of searching to find the lyrics. Might as well chronicle them in my journal.
The Cone Of Silence Lyrics
When I think about he and she
It's far away enough for me to see
[mystery line] hard to say
I think about you and me with a little more frequency
But aside from that it's about the same.
Just like the F train, you're not waiting
Just like the F Train, there'll always be an F Train. No, not the F Train--I don't know just why--
There must be a reason why.
Sometimes I think about how I live
Not at all how I used to live
I was put that way and don't feel bad.
But when you act like you never care
Why do you think I was there?
I look around, I think that I was had.
Just like the F Train, you're not waiting
Just like the F Train, there'll always be an F Train
I'm like the F Train, but I don't know just why
There must be a reason why
