When I was around 5-years-old, I lived in El Paso, and I can remember starting preschool. I was in a class that was at least half Mexican. Most of them didn't speak English. My teacher taught the English speakers some basic Spanish words so that we could communicate with our Mexican classmates. There was this one chubby Mexican girl who sat at my ( Read more... )

Anyone going to see DBT this Friday? Or know anyone who is? I have a sneaking suspicion that it will be me with a bunch of old folks.

So, this one-woman band by the name of Tune-Yards is pretty much  the most amazing musical discovery I have come upon in the recent year or so. By gosh, she's a fucking wonder. I cannot sing her praises enough. I've felt compelled to share her with you all for a while now. Lack of internets has prevented me from doing so, but no longer!

HAPPY THANKSGIVIN, Y'ALL!

Popping Lortabs immediately when you get to work is A BAD IDEA. It may seem like a good idea, but trust me, it's not. I want to shoot myself in the face right now. And every customer is the enemy.

I just wrote Lou Barlow an email telling him how much I love him, how amazing a musician I think he is, and how I think his new album is the bee's pajamas. I am a ridiculous fangirl. Do adults really do this type of thing? I feel pretty silly. But whatever. I'm hungover and bored at work. I do what I want with the internets!

For New Year's, I think I'm going to take a road trip to Oklahoma City to see the Flaming Lips. On ticketmaster, with fees included, tickets cost only $29 a piece. Anyone wish to join me in my adventure? It'll be tons of fun!

I fail so hard! I just realized that I left the components of my Chaplin costume in my car. Which is in the shop. Which is closed today. Goddamnit.

Regardless, I'm not quite sure what to do with myself tonight. Seems like most of my friends are/will be in NOLA.

I want to play Trivial Pursuit.

Jesus, I'm boring.

This is way too damn funny...it's in reference to that last post I made.

So, right after I made it, I checked my email again, and that "no weirdos" guy had sent me another response. This is what it said:

"i meant star trek. if u want we can meet at like starbucks and talk"

Jeezy Chreezy. I should meet with him dressed as Chewbacca.

I've been checking Craigslist for potential places to live, and all the people I've contacted about their ads have either been assholes or insane. Most recently, I contacted a guy who was offering a really good rate for a house (300/mo, utilities included), but he made very clear that he did not want to live with anyone who was "weird" or "strange ( Read more... )
