The Daily Grind in Old Town Winchester is *now serving* GELATO. I haven't had it yet but am positively certain that I'll be a happy girl about it not too long from now. This discovery, of course, accompanied the even cooler finding that Laura Elwood has the most unique house ever. And she's painted her bedroom Chinese red people!! Can you believe that?! You have to be pretty fucking hip to pull that one off, let me tell you. She and I went shopping today, except she was really good and I, completely bad, as always, buying a little something here, now there, just about every place I went. Laura is a good sport about my shopping blunders though, and flea markets are such a fun, though often SCARY, time. I have yet to find an amazing birthday present for Samantha (who, by the way, turns 21 tomorrow!! If you see her, buy the girl a shot!) but I did purchase the new Modest Mouse, which I've had on my computer for a few months but find even peachier in the intended, CD form. Yum.
So that was my day, lovely, minus the part where I talked to Sacha on the phone for around half an hour and got pissed as hell. I was over at Jen and Shyla's tonight and let the bitching fly. It seems that Sacha's live-in boyfriend/slash/father of her daughter is now collecting unemployment. He stays at home all day with the baby while she works 11 hour shifts with the army. At night he goes out with his friends because this is "his" free time (she gets her's during the day at work right?!) and when it comes to paying the bills and making the rent, its all been up to Sacha. This is nearly too embarrassing to write about, but no one who reads this personally knows her and its just so absolutely stupid that my old friend is allowing herself to be used and manipulated in this way! I always thought she was smarter than that. I want to take a gun to his head. I want to kill him. That fucking parasite.
I wish I had a better way to end this entry. Today was really nice overall, sometimes I just tend to dwell on the things that bother me the most. I've always been that way, confusing myself with these sorts of dwellings so much that I can't even see the bigger the picture.
