i finally received a pedicure yesterday and my feet are happy because of it. i left work a little early and decided to spend a little money on myself, so i went to the record store and bought modest mouse's new album "good news for people who love bad news". it's been in my player since and i can't stop listening to it. it's very much different from their previous attempts, but at the same time very similiar - it's strong in the beginning and sort of trails off at the end. this record is uncharacteristically upbeat, perhaps on account of their new drummer, but either way, i am thruoughly enjoying it, and yet again, modest mouse remains one of my favourite bands.
i also bought "the stranger" by camus, but seeing as how i am reading three books at once right now, i will have to hold off.
i came home to my parents already unpacking and to the shock of the back bedroom ceiling being ruined as well. apparently the leak that ruined the kitchen is worse than we all thought, and we will have to tear down both rooms and start over again. this is just turning out to be such a big headache, and seeing as this is not the first time our ceilings have been ruined by water, i am just tired of our condo being in constant repair.
my parents were not even back for two hours before we started bickering. three more months of this before they leave again - i don't know if i can last that long.
i miss aaron terribly and just sleeping in his t-shirt with his scent still lingering on it makes me just long for him more and more.
