(no subject)
Internet is not working right at home and I can't figure out what's wrong. Sometimes it craps out, but my roommate is home enough to fix it...I think it's a problem with either our router or the cable modem, but I've restarted both a few times and wiggled the cables to make sure everything is connected. Don't know, very annoyed. Plus, the dogs are being super needy attention-wise; there's a reason I never wanted a dog as a pet--they need to much attention--and I just don't like them enough to want to spend my entire day hanging out with the dogs. So instead, they are tearing up stuff...they destroyed the lid of a styrofoam cooler I hadn't thought to put up (mostly because I'm accustomed to cats, which are not only too small to destroy a styrofoam but probably wouldn't do that anyway) and got into my bathroom trash, which was really, really disgusting because last week was Red Lady Week. Grrrrr!
Obnoxious pets and non-functioning internet aside, I had a great weekend. I drank some beer with islanded and was joined by brokennotbeaten up from Dallas. Then Zach and I went to Hailey's to catch Tilly and the Wall because Zach sold me on their "gimmick", a tapdancer as their precussionist, which worked even better than I thought it would. Good times.
The next morning, we lazed about because it's officially hot here...in Denton, it seems we cross a threshhold where you go from "wow, it's kinda hot" to "wow, it's so fucking hot, I can't think of anything to do with myself other than lay around and perhaps melt into a puddle of goo." Grabbed coffee with rottingstrip, grabbed beer with redkats, grabbed a quick bite to eat from Chopsticks when I realized I was absolutely starving and we'd be going to a show shortly, then on to Hailey's again to see pAperchAse, who always put on a good show. I have to admit, they've gotten both better as a band and waaay more creepy. One song was so sexually explicit that I was literally taken aback, jaw dropping and everything (I'm a little difficult to shock), and I was disgusted for a moment, but then considered the context of the songwriting, that the singer is obviously not the psycopathic creep that he sings as in their songs, and then thought to myself, "Damn, he's good."
Sunday, after managing to stay in bed till 9:30 (I don't remember when the last time I pulled that off was), I got coffee with Kat, made a pho and grocery run (I hadn't had pho in months...and oh man, it was fantastic yesterday!), drank beer with Dylan, and came home and cooked some gumbo, which was consumed, along with a decent amount of beer and two bottles of wine, with Kat and Matthias. I had a great time, and fell asleep on my porch accidentally before deciding that was probably my cue to go to bed. Incidentally, the gumbo, made with boneless skinless chicken thighs and andouille sausage from Sprouts, is one of the best batches of gumbo I've made in my life.
Today is slow at work, and I'm a little concerned about getting my payroll sent out on time. Tonight, eating with Dylan. Tomorrow, no idea...I think the big Dallas fireworks show was last night which I didn't catch. Denton has fireworks, but they're kinda eh. Grapevine has fireworks over their lake, which could be nice. Hopefully hanging out with Zach? Definitely drinking coffee, and maybe cleaning my house, which didn't get cleaned this weekend. Don't know.
