Remember when we met at Walmart? I knew that was going to happen.

It's a real problem when everyone you know works nights and you work days. But. It's kind of my fault that I'm sitting here all alone right now anyway. And when I say my fault, I mean my choice pretty much. So whatever. Just because I'm not in a position to decline social invitations doesn't mean that I won't do it anyway. So whatever. I saw the Walkmen a couple of nights ago. Damn fine show if I may say so. Like easily a good half of the songs they played were from Everyone Who Pretended to Like me is Gone which is my favourite by far. Haven't heard the new one yet, but judging by what they did play of it, sounds alright although not particularly compelling, especially since they didn't play that much of it, which was in total about 4 songs if I remember correctly. Maybe 5. But anyway, about the opening band. I always hate them, right? Well, I walked in all ready to be like, 'God this band sucks, when are the Walkmen gonna play?' But oh no, not this time. Because although there was no one else on stage except for a violinist and a drummer/accordionist(?), they played a mean set that had even seasoned opening-band hating Maddy thinking,'Hey......what just happened there?' Anyway, turns out it was some duo called Talkdemonic or whatever, and they just so happen to not be so bad after all. In fact, I've been predominately listening to their Beat Romantic and Mutinysunshine stuff lately in between frequent revisitations of Emperor Tomato Ketchup. Perfect for the deep sad summer nights that I love.

Time for a walk now? I think so.
