i always forget where i am and where i've been.
last saturday i went to see steve play at icafe and that was good times. met a couple new people and reunited with old friends. tommy gibbler was there with his girlfriend and i talked to him for a little while. it was nice seeing him again.. last time i saw him was at staples in september when i made copies of the new album cover for him. this dylan wannabe kid played, he was good but i think he tried a little bit too hard. matt pless from maryland played and he was good, i liked his talkin' blues song. it was funny. he seemed a little off though if you know what i mean and he liked to dance around a lot. i liked his hat. steve was great except he didn't really dance, which made me kinda sad, but he was good. then another kid played after steve, i think his name was joe, he was ok but we really didn't want to stay for him cause we all have ADD.
sunday steve and i went to see socratic at obsessions in randolph. it's a really nice place, big too. we got there without getting lost, stopped at mcdonalds and stole some toys, then got to obsessions just before socratic went on. perfect timing! they had a sixth member for the night, lou, he was really good and good looking. he played guitar and kevin played his acoustic. it sounded really good! after them was daphne loves derby and i thought they were really good as well. their bassist had sweet dance moves, not as sweet as lief from a love like pi though. we talked to vinny for a little while and members of daphne loves derby and left.
boring stuff went on monday-thursday. i can't stress enough how much i hate computer science. my teacher's a fuckin idiot and none of us can understand how she got a teaching degree in COMPUTERS considering she doesn't know anything about anything. two tests on thursday and an extremely long, boring lecture is not my cup of tea.
friday morning i worked 10-6 and went to mcdonaugh's pub with my parents. i definitely wanted a beer at the bar but they wouldn't serve me hah. the food was good nonetheless and i think i have a crush on the irishman who works there. i have a thing for old guys. afterwards i went to staples to pick up kelly and meet up with brendan so we could go to the movies to see WALK THE LINE! kelly told barbara me and brendan are dating and now barbara hates me and is very jealous. i wonder what she's going to do when she finds out we're not really dating hah. so anyway, we went to the movies and met up with julie and jeff. WALK THE LINE WAS SO GOOD! i don't think i've ever been so excited for a movie in my life. i couldn't sit still throughout the whole thing and i was spazzing out like crazy. everyone around me probably thought there was something wrong with me. joaquin phoenix did an amazing job as johnny cash and reese witherspoon has a really pretty voice. i'd definitely go see it again. i want the soundtrack.
yesterday i worked 9-2 then went to SP for my uncle's 50th bday party at radolpho's. the food was good and we got lollipops that say "50 sucks." afterward we went to my uncle's house for a little afterparty. being sober around a bunch of drunk old people is definitely not fun in the slightest. my dad gave me a shot of moonshine and that was the grossest thing i've ever had in my life. the taste wouldn't leave my mouth for a good half hour. that shit is like 80% alcohol. we listened to a bob dylan cd my uncle's friend made. it was vol 2. of 14 unreleased tracks. the ONLY live version of bob doing ballad of frankie lee and judas priest is on there. jerry garcia is playing guitar. my uncle's friend followed the greatful dead around a lot and he was at the show they played this. amazing. my cousin burned me the cd and i'm listening to it now.. so good. i need to get the othe 13 volumes this guy has. last night when we got home my dad and i watched the concert for bangladesh. it's a really excellent dvd and bob dylan plays an excellent. ravi shankar and REAL indie music is fucking intense. i want a sitar.
today i'm just relaxing. i have to start studying because i have two tests tomorrow. thursday is thanksgiving(!) already. where did november go?? where did 2005 go?!?
