heb on a saturday night

Mar 05, 2005 21:11

I drove Austin up to the Greyhound station this evening and since i needed to go grocery shopping I stopped by the heb on 41st & 35. Most people don't know this about me, but I love to go grocery shopping, and this particular heb is my favorite (non specialty) grocery store in Austin. It is where I went when I first moved here, they have a great selection of produce, unlike my heb on congress which only carries the basics and over charges for artichokes. I walked through the sliding glass doors and I felt like the past three years had never happened. There I was, shopping alone, being curious and indecisive, cruising through the mass of frat boys and young asian UT students, I was 19 all over again. When I first moved here I was recovering from a heartbreak and I stayed home a lot cooking, sewing, listening to records in my room, tryin to avoid my roommate. I miss some of the things I used to do when I was single, I ate brussel sprouts a lot. I used to masturbate more often. I would get in my car on clear nights and drive out near the lake listening to my favorite songs while drinking root beer and smoking way too much. There was a park with a swing set near my house that saw me two or three times a week. So, what I am getting at is Austin is out of town until monday. I think tomorrow I will go for a long drive, tonight I am having salmon, brussel sprouts, & cous cous for one. I have a feeling that this will be very refreshing. Don't get me wrong, I love Austin more than I could say, he is the most lovely & talented person I have ever known, but I get the bed to myself for two days! I am going to take up the whole thing, I am going to pack all of the pillows in around me and there will be no setting of the alarm - none! I have to admit, the house sounds different without him here, by different I mean scarier, but I have Marcel the attack cat and a can of 20ft out door wasp spray so things are gonna be alright.

In other news, the band I manage is selling out the mercury lounge in nyc as we speak, I am so fucking pleased!

and last night, Madamimadam had a great turn out at the ritz here in austin, they finally seem to be getting the attention they deserve.

well, i'm gonna go it alone.
