a complete inconvenience
so it's christmas day, which turns out to be a big bore for yours truly, beginning with the fact that i'm jewish so i don't care anyway compounded by the fact that my car is currently nonfunctional, leaving me immobile and completely annoyed. not that i would really have anywhere to go, because everything is closed, but i'm annoyed nonetheless not to have my car. i hate how reliant i am on the stupid thing, but around here that's just the way it is. i still don't know how i'm getting to work tomorrow. however, i did get to sleep in a whole bunch today and am still currently not dressed, which is quite nice. but it's grey and rainy, which is not nice. i do have the promise of an awesome dinner with jess's family tonight though, and because free food kicks ass, i love jess, and her family is fantastic, i am excited.
in other news, postcards has lost its second bass player. apparently the rest of us have some sort of repelling force we give off that only affects bass players. he decided he couldn't give the band the time and energy it required, etc. so there's no reason to specifically be mad, but lord have mercy what bad timing. he quit the day before we had a show to play and 3 weeks before our mini-tour thing. luckily we roped our friend adam into the job just for the tour, because he's the bassist for the static age. so now we're trying to cram in practice time so he can hopefully whip something up for our 6 song set. but thank god for him. however, this means we still have to find another permanent bass player and re-teach the songs again . we have one particularly promising lead, but there's a lot left to sort out. le sigh. however, in the true spirit of resiliency, we've accepted to play a house show at 138 Willard on Jan. 6, so mark those calendars. looks like the other bands are going to be a bunch of indie pop fun, so for the gentler set, don't worry about your ears, you'll be there or i'll go after your kneecaps. especially those of you who haven't made it to a show yet - you know who you are...
and finally, there seems to be a very present boy interest in my life. the dime store version goes like this: we have a bunch of mutual friends, knew each other as acquaintances for quite some time, and several weeks ago actually started talking. talking led to exchange of numbers and hanging out, which lead to a lot more hanging out and the steadily progressing realization that we really like each other's company. so there's a lot more hanging out planned for the future and i can safely say, for the first time in a long time, i'm not afraid of what might come.
