Damn kids, sure has been a while since yer old pal Ben has gone and done an entry. But you know what? I refuse to offer you a recap of the past....3 or whatever how long it's been weeks in which i have been absent. However, a quick recap of the past few days seems rather lovely don't it?
Well then, this weekend was fun, despite that i havne't had alcohol properly present in my system in well over several weeks. It's cool, i'll deal. This follows no chronological order whatsoever, soyaknow.
I saw the Dresden Dolls w/Bellafea on Friday nite. And i have to admit, I was more than plesantly surprised. It was a damn fine show. Granted, Kaia and Allison's ballads were unabashedly cliche. I mean, c'mon, her country song, mentioned a truck. If you're gonna write a country song, you have to be ironic and have the theme involve metropolitan city issues. pssh. Country songs about taxis...now THERE's an angle. But yeah, damn good show. All the gothlings and minions of the night came out of the woodwork in their corsettes and black vinyl jackets, and overdone make-up and penchants for paganism. Kept me smiling all through they did.
Saturday i slept till 1:30 at which point Grace was lovely enough to wake me up. The adventure that followed entailed me going to Caribou. Then going to Time After Time, where i blew 51.33 on a red leather jacket, cowboy boots, and two shirts. My bank account has 22 dollars. good times. :)
After that we went by Skylite Exchange which i'm sure is much more hip during the evening hours but either way it's cool. I just need to figure out if i can smoke there. The sign was rather ambiguous on the concept.
After that Dad was up with the little bro doing shoe-shopping so we all went to Mellow Mushroom and had some pizza. They gave me a care package with coffee, homemade oatmeal cookies, and pumpkin bread, bitches say what?
Then i went and hung out with Katie and saw I <3 Huckabees, which was pretty good. Kinda sad that Marky Mark was the character that really made the movie though. But hey, he's hung like a zoo-animal so i'm not complaining.
I love Katie and she's just fucking great and i chilled with her the whole evening.
Then we went with my boy Will Walters and some newfound pals to stonehenge and smoked up. It was fucking tight as hell. I nearly broke through with salvia but not quite, but good times were had by all.
Today i finished a review for the new Elliott Smith album and got Wild Zero from Pip. I also impaled a pumpkin with a golf club. Bitch was steppin.
And now i'm studying for my stupid bio-exam, which hopefully i can pass. With any luck at all. So i'm wrapping this up and i'll see you kids at the same bat-time, same bat-place.
