I am home. It's kinda late, but I can't sleep. This surprises me. I feel like hell. I think I might be coming down with something. This time last year I had a terrible cold.
So I went out with Mike tonight and I did laugh and laugh. Mike is gonna be a teacher- a science teacher. Not only do I think that this is a shockingly admirable and respectful profession for the boy that I have known since high school, it's also incredibly hot. I confided in him that the first thing I thought of when I learned of his teaching career was that scene form the first Indian Jones movie. You know the one, with the female student and the "I love you" across her eye lids. This will be Mike. I am so convinced.
good night.
1) Marychen and I rule the world. You may think that I am telling lies, but let it be known that this is indeed a fact. Sooner or later you will feel OUR influence in your day to day lives. rock on.
2) So yeah, Four Day Weekend is over. It was pretty sweet. I can't even keep it all straight. lots of beer, lots of bbqs, lots of love, more beer.
3) I got to see the Chestnut Hill area of Philly this weekend. quite quaint. I mean really Swarthmore/Wallingford quaint (this probably means nothing to you). It's one of those towns that makes me think about gettin responsible and finding an adult job and a husband and having babies. And we can fill our perfect house and gift each other with all the perfect items purchased at the perfect little shops in town and our kids can go to the perfect public school and wear the perfect cloths and it will all be perfect... All except for my Talbot's wardrobe and my after-I-drop-the-kids-off-at-school drinking binges at Xando.
West Philly never makes me think that. West philly keeps me complacent and childish and content. No need to improve myself. I am as good as it gets.
4) Almost done the watchmen. I am enjoying it, though there is so much super-hero sex. It's kinda creeping me out. I have been leaning towards reading the league of extraordinary gentlemen but then think I need to get my hands on something NOT written by Alan Moore. you know.
5) Drinks with Mike tonight. I have not seen him in a coon's age. He makes me laugh and laugh and laugh. Yay Mike!
6) Finally, I posted a bunch of my big-goth Paris pictures. Take a look, if you can stand it. The "Robert Capia" pictures towards the bottom of the page are my favorites. Its doesn't get any more goth then doll heads.

So, I talked to my doctor about this pain I have and she suggested tubal pregnancy, or appendicitis or cysts, also maybe simple intestinal problems.
The Fantod deck says its demons... I'll go with that.
Last night I went to the after party of a $5000 a plate benefit dinner at the ICA... for free! ha. People who spend 5 grand on dinner are weird. They act weird and dress weird and they defiantly dance weird. BUT they DO drink good wine.
After the high falutin' fancy pants art party I went to the killtime (delightful west philly squat) and saw a couple of bands. The beach balls were quite entertaining: an acoustic cello driven rendition of "Back in Black" was just what I needed. Lexicon was really really really in top form last night or so it seemed to me anyway.
I met another cute boy named Paul. What is to become of all this?
oh oh oh, "V for Vendetta" rocks my world.
I am a blessed girl and here is why:
everyday this week I have had a lunch date in the park.
everyday this week I have had a drink date after work.
I am being very social. I have even talked on the phone!
Regarding that mad bird in my back yard:
So it was NOT the parrot and damn do I feel like an ass about giving that girl all kinds of false hope. I am sure its not a mocking bird, but, ok what do I know. My brother and Matt are CONVINCED the bird is actually two birds. Two gay cardinals they say. I shit you not. They insist that there are two male cardinals chasing each other around our backyard, making the noises that have been taunting me for so long. I wont believe it till I see it.
The next couple weeks promise to be rather enjoyable... All leading up to my birthday. ah, my birthday. what could be sweeter? I have already begun making plans- time off from work, kegger, fancypants dinners, all sorts of general debauchery.
Thanks to Fritz, I have been reading comics;
now "the planetary" (...and other stories) next "V for Vendetta"

Today my company bought us lunch, actually it was our "philly2nite is taking their sweet time moving out, but left some cushy leather chairs" brunch. we had sushi. yummy, sea bugs! quite nice. Tonight is our "the boss' girlfriend is in town so lets get drunk" night at a neighborhood bar. yeeeee haw!
FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST!
Its tuesday now and the AC in my office is still broken. The big-brain-maintenance guy come to look at it today and he says, "yup... its broken... you guys better get a fan" ugh. Big-brain-maintenance guy also left the switch in the "ON" position because with in a few hours, the unit was spilling noxious electric ozone smelling smoke into my office. double ugh. You can image how happy and relaxed and content I am right now.
ps: I almost uttered the words "I love you too" to a customer today.
what a mess.
Its hot.
I cant express how little I like this. I need to move some place without summers. Canada? Alaska? Siberia? ugh. I am now officially going to be unhappy and annoyed and bitchy until October. Its the way it goes and goes and goes...
Had a wonderful time at a Cinco de Mayo party this past friday. The nicest boy tried to hit on me. Sadly, I wasn't feeling all to receptive to such things (probably cause of the heat) and I attempted to graciously thank and appreciate his advances without spurring him on. He used this remarkably potent pick up line (actually I feel a bit too embarrassed about it to recount here), and I was mightily impressed despite its vainness. It was a brave and sweet thing of him to ask. I was touched (but not literally. ha. yikes).
Last night about 8 of us went to see "Gladiator" God bless big gaye Russell Crowe.
Today is Sunday. I am at work. The air conditioning in the office is broken. I am sweating as I type. I do not have enough beer to get me through the next 3 hours. boy oh boy.
Tonight: Trans Am and Mouse on Mars.
love!
1) To the scientist that submitted that form/html page: Thanks! that was very cute and clever. You didn't send me your email address, so "thanks" here will have to suffice.
2) I hate pollen.
3) My love for the Internet has been rekindled (sort of).
4) My work life is better, calmer, more tolerable.
(Please ignore passive aggressive 4/26/00 entry)
5) The other night I was sitting out on my bedroom porch and I realized that there was this INSANE bird outside making all kinds of noise. Now the first thing that struck me about this was that it was 11:30 pm and birds just don't make noise that late (in the jungle maybe, but not in west philly) Second thing I notice is that its just not one bird call, its about 10-15 bird calls- from hawk to jay to song bird. So then I am thinking I have this lunatic mocking bird on my hands, but THEN I remember the signs I have seen posted about the neighborhood. "Lost Parrot". So, I am pretty convinced I have this missing African Gray named "Teva" in my back yard. Teva is loud. Teva in incessant. Teva has woken me up around 3 am for the past three nights. Teva cant stop singing! So what's this all about? Does this bird sing for the love of singing? Does this bird sing cause its hungry and anxious about being away from her "flock" (ie: her owner)? Does this bird sing cause she is free? What the fuck makes Teva tick? I am dying to know. Also I am dying to know if there is a reward. (In case you are wondering, I have in fact communicated with Teva's owners. They have not had any luck finding the bird. They can't even hear the damn bird, which I find amusing cause I can hear nothing else. I think Teva is avoiding them).
6) She-Haw does Bad Company's "Feel Like Making Love" aw shit.
7) Movies I want to see:
Keeping the Faith (Edward!)
Gladiator (cause you cant get much bigger OR gayer)

5/3/00 I had a grande (yes! with an "e") time with Josh that other night. We went to "Bar Noir" and drank really expensive drinks and little did we know, it was lesbian-country night at Bar Noir. A bunch of lovely west philly ladies showed up and "She-Haw" performed. It was quite hilarious. I enjoyed myself. Yesterday, Tim and I met in the park for my so called "lunch". It had been a while since I had seen him last so it was nice to catch up. He has really nice things to say about his lady and I like that a lot. Some woman approached us and offered to draw us both for a buck. I don't think she did him any justice. Really, I don't know if she did me any justice either, but it is unmistakably me, piercings and the part in my hair say it all. |
In honor of May Day, I went to the park for lunch- that's about a festive as I can be today. Tonight JoshM. and I are going out for drinks. Misery LOVES company!
