o ma ma ma ma ma

i've downloaded/borrowed/libraried a buttload of music lately, and now i have 3 hours of driving to soak it in uninterrupted. here's a small portion of what i'll be checking out today:

three thoughts - cars.internet.money

yesterday when i was leaving work [on my way to 2nd work] somebody (MAT!!) wanted to make a pointless, UNfunny, UNuseful comment to me as i was about to pull out of the parking lot, so i rolled down my window. he made his comment, i rolled my eyes and then went to put the window back up... of COURSE my window wouldn't go back up. gahhh. i'm so MONSTERFUCKING sick of this!

i made a deal with myself - if i can get around without driving it in the next 32 days, i'm getting rid of it. i'm done with putting all this upkeep into this pollution machine because some people (ma&pa) can't comprehend life without a car. i'm an grown-up, and i'll own a car if i feel like it... and i don't... so eff you.

sometimes the internet is simply the best. today dan decided to try and track down somewhere that sells walkmen (walkmans?.. um.. portable cassette tape players). i posted "wanted: tape playin' walkman" on kijiji and within an hour - a reply!

does anyone remember "baby jessica" who got rescued from the pipe? i was only 2 when that happened, so it's weird that i remember but i decided to look her up today. that chick is cursed i think!

quotes from wikipedia & msnbc article:

McClure's rescue was mostly credited to Robert O'Donnell and William Andrew Glasscock Jr.. In 1995, O'Donnell shot himself after suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Former officer Glasscock is currently serving a 35-year sentence on charges of sexual exploitation of a child, sexual assault, and improper storage of explosives

whoa. curse!

She married Daniel Morales, 13 years her senior, in January 2006. Morales was convicted in 2002 of impersonating a federal marshal to steal money and drugs from drug dealers.

yup, curse.

But she’s still called “Baby Jessica.” That doesn’t bother her, she told Lauer, and referred to a character in a children’s book to explain why.

“Like they told Lil’ Bow Wow, you’ll never get rid of the ‘little’ part,” she said. “Cause you’ll always be what you are remembered as.”

what?? children's book?! who wrote this article? curs-ed.

i "commissioned" a pair of boots from this guy at the farmer's market. they are going to be totally custom - having the guy TRACE and measure my feet was such a good feeling! i am so excited to have shoes made for me, not off an assembly line in taiwan. it's really exciting. but i'm kind of broke now, so i reaaaaally hope they turn out.

a kiss is not a contract (but it's very nice)

so a CERTAIN situation has gone from cute/nervous/awkward to awkward/nervous/awkward. i'm over it, but it's hard to be at ease with all that weird energy about.

man, i have been spending too much time on the internet! but that'll be over soon. i'm handing out resumes for a second job today, and my wednesday class starts next week. PLUS the bod's moving to calgary in february. so excited to have another girl friend here.

i found a new favorite show -the flight of the conchords. i love the internet.

don't call me white

downloading + the library + my ipod = me having a ton of music (always on hand) that i'm digging! i indulged myself and downloaded every nofx album. oh me.

i bought a bit of fabric from value village (and applied for a job while i was there) and returned home eager to make something. BUT now i can't get my sewing machine to work. the bobbin just gets tangled every second. booo.

for work tomorrow - i made a casserole for lunch AND i get to wear jeans AND i'm going to get down with some travel trouble around the break table. woo.

some songs from today:

the black lips - bad kids

cut copy - drop the bomb

jens lekman - people who hate people

m. ward - i'll be yr bird

the fiery furnaces - single again

the pipettes - your kisses are wasted on me

beirut - nantes

the clash - magnificent seven

bishop allen - ghosts are good company

eels - i like birds

okkervil river (with dan johnston?!) - happy hearts

slick rick - memories

saturday looks good to me - meet me by the water

the pixies - hey
