after lunch today annie and i ventured over to this gift shop called "inspirations" that doubles as a retailer of vaguely pornographic kitchenware and napkins. my favorite item was the set of his-n-hers shot glasses that "had sex" via the little glass phallus and vagina mounted on their sides. while perusing the miniature egyptian glass perfume bottle section, i stopped to admire a particularly challenging specimen and managed to both drop it on the floor and step on it in the space of about two seconds. fortunately, the woman at the counter said it fell under their "damaged goods insurance" and that i would certainly be back some other time to spend money on something i really wanted. i felt so bad about this that i bought a (nine-dollar) stamp that said something to the effect of "this is fucking urgent". this will now be my official seal and will grace the top of all my letterheads and homework assignments.
everyone (except you) came over tonight to watch tv and eat pizza. i have this complex about having friends over because it seems like the social environment here is stifling. i dont know whether its because of the lack of private space (there are no actual rooms, just partitions) or because of my family or something else, but i feel like we could have a better time elsewhere. this is not to say that i dont want to have people over, because i do like hosting, but i feel like everyone is walking on eggshells around here. maybe (please) its just me.
calvin, if you are reading this, know that i mailed your artwork today, it will be at your doorstep on monday. i also discovered this awesome song from the new sleater-kinney album called "the fox".
