childhood memories
I have spent the morning rollerskating around my parents' garage and drinking alarming amounts of diet vanilla coke.
The packing up process is beginning very slowly. I ventured into my parents' garage to retrieve some boxes of my stuff and ended up unpacking all my childhood possessions. The rollerskates, I'm happy to say, are only a tiny bit tight, and I'm only slightly rusty at skating. I really should buy a new pair soon.
I found a little book that I made when I was two and half, charmingly written in my baby hieroglyphics and helpfully translated into English by my dad: "The Three Bad Bears."
Yesterday was my day off. I walked around Echo Park and Hollywood and madly spent nearly all of my paycheck. When I had no money I didn't want for much, but now that I have some I can't seem to stop buying things I don't really need. A great score: a hardback copy of Dancing Lessons For the Advanced in Age found at a used bookstore on Sawtelle. I forget what it's called; it's around the corner from the Nuart and next to Lulu's Blue Plate (home of the deep-fried Twinkie, which I am afraid to try). I've never been able to track down a reasonably priced copy, but this one amazingly cost only ten dollars. Another score: at Amoeba I found a 45 of "Are You the Boy?" sung by Tuesday Weld. Only a dollar seventy-five. I don't care what anyone says, she's a perfectly charming and serviceable vocalist.
I have become a champion shoeseller. Last Sunday I sold 3000 dollars worth of shoes and accessories in five hours. I hate being good at something I never desired to be good at.
I'm finally going to cave and get an ipod. But only an ipod mini. I've become such a conspicuous consumer, it's disgusting.
Yesterday nickymogwai tagged me for that five song thingy, so here goes:
1. British Sea Power-"Over in the Corner"
2. Brakes-"All Night Disco Party"
3. The Tornadoes-"Ice Cream Man"
4. Art Brut-"Good Weekend"
5. Albin de la Simone & Jeanne Cherhal-"Ces Mots Stupides"

Post five songs you're currently listening to and then tag five other people to do the same.
