I wish I drank coffee
I can’t seem to get my thoughts in order today. Last night (and the night before) I fell asleep in my clothes, with my lights and television on, and on my textbooks…which is uncomfortable to say the least. I woke up this morning so late I had to decide whether I was going to be ½ an hour late to work or shower less. The shower won out naturally, but I still had to at least consider it before I vetoed it : P Adding to my confused, half sleep, and a hasty morning preparation was a call from my older brother asking to borrow money. And it was not like say $50, he wanted to borrow $200…so I had to reiterate to him 1) I was running late for work so I couldn’t go back and forth with him as to why I couldn’t “lend” him that kind of money and 2) what made him think I had an extra $200 to lend to him? Let me tell you… it was not an ideal way to start the day.
The weather looks like it’s going to be amazing today, so I hope it warms up enough for me to eat lunch at the park. I think I’m going to grab my camera at some point today and do a “Day in the Life Of” post since I’m bored and I never post pictures or play with my camera anymore. Lunch for today is a ground beef patty with this pre-made yakitori sauce stuff I brought and veggies and rice. I wonder how it would taste if I made it with turkey burger? I’m not a fan of the stuff (insert long winded story about my mother not allowing us to eat red meat for a portion of my childhood and making EVERYTHING with either ground turkey or chicken here), but maybe it would be healthier?
I was listening to a leaked copy of Mariah Carey’s new CD and I’ve completely given up hope that she’ll ever make decent music again. I mean come on. I understand your early stuff was pretty much elevator music, but all this bastardization of your sound by mixing with hip-hop artists must stop. You’re not hood Mimi. This is why I listen to up and coming artists more than established artists, because at some point they stop experimenting with their sound and end up parodying themselves. News-flash, making a “new” song by sampling one of your old songs and writing new lyrics is not cute. *ends rant* All this music talk makes me want to go and hear live music…must email Adri and make plans.
Edit: It's just as I feared...the summer philosophy course lasts pretty much the whole summer so I'll have to make sure I work ahead, that way I won't have to worry about assignments while I'm in Japan. The public speaking class starts after I get back...so at least I have that working in my favor.
Just now I almost got my face smashed in by a door. Good thing my foot happened to be just far enough ahead of me to avoid my nose meeting the door. My boss was coming from another direction and didn't see me and he thought the door had really banged into me and so he goes "Gab, are you okay? If you're not... the door did it...and not me." Way to dodge a lawsuit. lol
