work.
work is not the best. it starts way too early. i swear, i wasn't sure six in the morning existed, but now they've got me going in at four which i was positive didn't exist. WTF, mate? the plus side, overtime pay. because seriously, who doesn't need the money? and the 27 bucks a day is well worth it i think. as long as i don't die. there was a guy there a couple of weeks ago who lost a couple of fingers. don't want that to happen to me. i needs them still. but i'm being careful, so hopefully nothing like that will happen.
movies.
kung fu hustle. too funny. kinda predictable a little. but it was so...kitschy it was entertaining
sin city was awesome. i liked all the characters really...and mr. wood's character was fun.
the ring two...less than awesome. it was ok i guess. but i think that a sequel should not have been made.
sideways. meh. pretty lame. not too funny, but i'll admit it had it's parts. and speaking of which if you want to see some fat guys wang, yeah...it's in there.
ray. actually quite good. it reminded me of a bunch of songs that i didn't remember i liked. and i liked the way it portrayed his drug use. it didn't vilify him the way i heard some people complaining that it did.
too many other ones that i've seen and can't remember just now.
shopping.
bought myself some nice clothes. building a wardrobe. i've been meaning to, but never really had a chance to. so i got me a nice white shirt and a tie. gonna get a few more shirts and ties. and i pair of slacks. the ones that i have right now are good. but i'd like some more. next weekend i'll be taking a trip to the 3 day suit broker. what i do need pretty bad are shoes. i've got like 2 pairs of shoes that i wear, and yeah...they're kinda showing that they're the only ones i wear. also picked up some nifty sun glasses. used to be i didn't go anywhere without them. but then i lost and broke some and was too lazy/poor to replace them. but once the headaches started coming back, i knew i had to do something.
food.
have been eating not as much as i should be. i was recently was awakened to the fact that my not eating could be the cause of all the heartburn i've had as of late. i don't eat lunch. seldom eat breakfast. and dinner is usually pretty late. but i've been popping tums like it's my job.
animals.
there are new kittens in my back yard. i want to try to take a picture, but their mother is always there and very protective. i got to see them a little today though. so cute. lupe has asked me to try to get and raise one for her. i'm thinking that next weekend i'll be able to take them. if they're not moved by then. but we've got them in a safe enough place so i'm hoping they'll stay there.
music.
got a lot of mew music from people. thanks so much everyone. lupe for the decemberists and all the others that you've sent. and ames thanks for the emm. i got the cds in the mail sometime over the week, and have been listening to them non stop. got a couple of free songs from itunes. go pepsi. i've still got 3 songs left, so if anyone's got any suggestions, let me know.
livejournal.
my paid account has expired. so sad. i'll have to get that renewed soonish. even though i hardly use it, i really didn't mind paying for it.
personal.
lately i've been looking not hideous for some reason. i have no idea why. but i haven't dreaded shaving when i get out of the shower, or the huge mirrors in the san diego apartment. although, there are a couple of times when i've been most certianly grotesque.
clothing.
i've decided that i'm going to start wearing baseball caps. like a lot now. i want to have a wall in my room with some wire racks for them and have like...different kinds. of course i'm going to have to recruit someone to help me out with the little things i've worn on all my caps since my junior year of high scool.
travel.
bought return trip airfare from boston for sunday june 5th. too bad the flight is so early in the morning. but it was cheaper by like seventy bucks. i'll be getting my plane tickets for the trip over next weekend i believe. once trips to l.a. are aranged and what have you. vegas? don't know about that. kinda still want to go. but there are other constraints that make it not so...feasable. i'd hate to have my birthday be ruined though. so we'll see.
love.
i am still madly in love with lupe. things haven't been perfect all the time. and while it'd be easier probably to just blame myself i know that's not entirely right. still i've made a lot of mistakes. some really bad. some not so bad. but what is good is that even when they were at the worst i still loved her very, very much, and she, me. and i've learned from my mistakes and am trying to be a better boyfriend. she's a very special girl, and i think some of the things she has put up with lately show it. i told her last night that we were well met. i think that's a good description of things for her and i. it was a good thing for us to have met each other. it's like...i need to have her around in some respect to be normal...or as close to normal as someone like me can be. i'm entirely sure that i wouldn't be able to go back to a life where she wasn't my friend. something was missing before, and i wasn't sure what it was. but when she walked into my life that day back in july coming up on five years ago, everything made more sense. no matter what, hun, i need you around.
i think that about concludes this update. see you all in a few months.
