Last night was the Sissyboy show and it was beautiful and amazing. Those guys blow me away, especially with how committed they are to their art. The Holocene was pretty fun (except for every other person asking me where Tyler was and if he was coming or not, which is probably my biggest pet peeve because then I feel like people are only talking to me to ask for him and don't really actually care to talk to me personally)but I had to jet after the show to attempt to get some sleep. Today is going to be a long day and tomorrow, even longer as I want to get on the road by 11am at the latest.
I still haven't heard back about the manager position. I'm kind of "whatever" about it at this point. The pay increase would be nice, but it will be a much more stressful position. Eh, who am I kidding, I'll be pissed if I don't get it.
Yesterday I had a frustrating conversation with two of my roommates. I can't remember how, but Condolezza Rice's name came up in conversation between my two roommates. I was reading and perked up my ears because I NEVER hear these two talking about politics and I got a little excited. As I listened further, I realized the conversation was actually going like this:
A: Is Condolezza Rice that woman on house arrest for something?
T: Oh yeah, I think that's who Condolezza Rice is, what did she do again that she's on house arrest?
A: I don't know, didn't she kill someone or something?
T: Oh, ok.
My jaw could not have hit the floor any harder. I asked them if they were serious and they both just shrugged and said "Well, I don't know who she is."
I mean, you don't have to be completely up to date on the lastest breaking news, but come on people! THEN as I was trying to give them a brief history lesson on C.R. and her role in "the War on Terror" and the pros and cons of her taking over for Colin Powell as the new Sec. of State (um, they didn't know who Colin Powell was either), I realized that about half-way through my 3rd sentance, Tyler had FALLEN ASLEEP while I was talking and Adriana was zoned out watching T.V. In mid-sentance I said "and wow, you two don't even give a shit about what I'm saying right now" to absolutely no response. It was so infuriating on so many levels. I mean, even if you don't have an interest in politics or find what I'm saying completely boring, to FALL ASLEEP while someone is directly talking to you.... wow.
It just makes me sad how little attention people pay to what's going on in the world yet those same people are bitching about the way shit is now. It just doesn't make sense to me to be that wrapped up in your own life that you have no clue what's going on outside of the bar or your circle of friends.
