this is how we do it! a-break it down.

A pretty fun weekend was just had by me and hopefully others. Considering it is Sunday and that means that all fun is officially over.

Thursday was hell in the pet sitting side because I had like seven jobs and they were all in different locations. And this one dog kept peeing in his crate and therefore in the house which I had to clean up. ANYWAYS- it sucked. But Thursday night night was spent at Murphy’s with Jeff and Ryan and even Alex danger. It was a sheer delight to sit with, which I shall now affectionately call “ma boys”. Oh and there was the Star Course Bar Crawl which is always jam packed full of people I know and love and who were drunk beyond belief. Eileen and Alan fell on top of Ryan. And Colin definitely grabbed me from behind and jiggled me- not appreciated. It was a lot of fun that night at Murphy’s.

Then on Friday I applied to work at Dallas and Co. a costume shoppe. Hopefully they’ll hire me even if it is just part time. I need something to do and why not help dudes and bros with their Halloween costumes? But Friday night was a delight because I got to play Wii with friends. And I played the BEST Wii bowling game of my life. I beat even Marty, who is the owner of the Wii consol. It was amazing. 242. No joke. Oh I loves me some Wii.

Saturday, yesterday, was pretty uneventful until I got to go to the hockey game for FREE because the radio station that matt works for is broadcasting some of the hockey home games. So I said I was also from the station and got in. It was an incredible game. We tied with in the last 20 seconds, then it went into overtime and we won! It was just amazing. Really makes me want to go to more of them. anyways, while at the hockey game I brought a long a little journal and took notes of stupid things that were happening around me, plus mainly I thought it would look like I’m actually doing something to warrant that I’m from the radio station. So I will share with you now the things I noted.
1. The game actually opened up with “let’s get ready to rumble” Jock Jams style. I thought it was hilarious because where else would you hear such an archaic pump up song. I guess classics never die.
2. This older lady was finding her seat- first off it’s just benches, it’s really just like sitting on bleachers I mean who cares if you’re in the front row or the second to front row. She was just being loud, obnoxious and fat.
3. Why would bring a baby to a hockey game? Like a baby baby. Not only that, but sit in the front row with a baby- are you going to use it as a shield if the puck comes at you?
4. And does a Zamboni really need headlights?

That’s all. And then last night after the game we went to a bar again, but this time with Brooke and Jesse, which was a nice change of pace. And this real big titty girl was all over Jesse, so funny and so inappropriate.

So that’s it. Next weekend Matt and I are going to the football game with his parents and Saturday is his birthday- EEP. Need to get him something, but what? Hmmm.

oh flub.

I feel worthless and I hate it. I’ve tried getting a job to many places but I don’t know what’s keeping them from even calling me back. I’m planning on applying to work at Dallas & co., a costume and party store. And if that’s not weird enough I’ll also apply to be a receptionist for corporate Jimmy Johns. And if that’s not stupid enough then I’ll apply to work at Ducky’s bridal shop. I need something- ANYTHING. Ugh.

Other than being a reject of the corporate and sales world, I’m doing alright. I went to the library yesterday and got 4 whole books. One on the Marx brothers, ya know Groucho, Harpo and such. I got it because the other day I saw most of the movie “A Night at the Opera” and it made me curious. Who are these men? What were they like off the stage and screen? Were they nice guys? Vaudeville is an interesting time to me. Other books are just fiction that look interesting. I’ll let you know once I read them what they were and how much I hated/loved them.

I can’t even really think of other things to mention, because my head is so swamped with job stuff. So aggravating.

Also aggravating is the problems with my apartment. All the work they’ve put into the electrical and installing whatever they need to in order to be up to code has meant that I have had to tailor my morning routine so they don’t catch me doing pilates or showering or taking a nap. I have a feeling that they think that we both sleep until 3 pm, which is scientifically impossible. Everyone knows that.

In conclusion, I wish I were somewhere else, with a job, and a landlord-free apartment.

we do the tighten up now...

Tighten up that bass… now make it mellow…
Oh Archie Bell and Drells I will forever be in their debt for creating such a beautiful song that essentially is about nothing.

This was a pretty successful weekend, got to see some people I haven’t seen in a while. We played some softball on Saturday, which was fun. I even got a little sun on my forehead. I also didn’t do too badly with hitting- I was like “I’m gonna try to hit it up in the air” and then I did. So booya-ca-sha. And Saturday ended with everybody at my place, which made me realize how much smaller my apartment, is than the giant monster house that we used to live in. Oh the times of being able to have 10 people over and everybody had seats. But anyways, great to see people, and some people I see too much, you know who you are! Haha.

Also Saturday night we were listening to music while watching Mad Max and the Thunderdome on mute. It was quite funny. Who would know that the soundtrack to Newsies would work so well with the fight sequence? We also watched some Flight of the Conchords, and my love of them is getting out of control. It’s turning into that sort of suffocating love that I once had for Stella. Don’t get me wrong I look fondly on those weeks where every conversation involved a quote from the hilariously cancelled Comedy Central show. But looking back I realize how sick it was and how quoting DVD commentary can’t be healthy. I don’t know if I’ve learned my lesson. “If that’s what you’re into...”

More things that I’m just thinking about:
Getting a FUCKING job (FUCK)
Visiting Emily in Maine!!! It would be amazing, you know it, I know it.
Matt’s birthday is Oct. 6th and we are going to the football game that weekend too, his mom bought us matching Chief sweatshirts- too funny so of course I’m taking mine and wearing it, because frankly why the hell not? They’re matching for crying out loud.

I can’t wait for it to be cold fall weather- yum.

yay friends!!!

This weekend I have friends! Jami and Casey are going to be here. Thank god. Jami got here yesterday and we went to Murphey’s, the only respectable bar on Green St. Even though we are frequent customers at this bar, I felt like totally out of place. Firstly I graduated so I’m automatically older than 90% of the people there. And we were all wearing jeans and a t-shirt sort of deal and again that made us different than 90% of the people there. It was just a really weird feeling. Being old and not impressive.

But this weirdness did not stop Jami and I from splitting two pitchers of Leinenkugel’s sunset wheat. We took the bus home and drunk kids are funny, and sad. Anyways we came home to eat too many chips and promptly fell asleep.

This morning Jami and I went running! Yay exercise. It was hard; it was hot. But glad we went, after the two pitchers last night.

I’m excited for nothing in particular.

Also I bought a lot of groceries yesterday.

I also saw a hilarious show last night with Dan the man Bennett. It was like a comedy performance about race. It was very funny, and I’m glad I got to go. It was called N*gger W*etback Ch*nk…. Very racy/controversial. But hilarious.

Already I’ve done more this weekend than I have in the past week.

the destruction of my bathroom and life

So today started probably the most annoying way possible. Firstly Matt got back to the apartment at 6 am! SIX AM! He pulled an all-nighter working on engineering homework… needless to say I’m very proud of him. Then at about 9 am my landlord and his other maintenance guy came in. It’s not about 15 past 2 PM and they’re still here. Still working on the same thing as yesterday- an exhaust fan. And I didn’t wake up at 9 am when they got here because frankly there’s nothing to do when the electricity is out. Besides I was still tired for trying to wait up for matt and then actually being woken up by matt. Anyways, I was awake approximately from 9 to 12. And during this time I was piecing together the story of what was happened only through the noises and voices I heard through the door. The inspector that came in had an interesting voice and I tried to imagine his face and height- short, round, kind of pinchy. So yes, the electricity was out which meant that my white noise maker was off which meant I heard everything inside and outside my apartment/house (we have the bottom floor to a small house- hence an apartment). At any rate- they are still here. And I am still in my pajamas sort of. They are running and doing all this work and I’m sitting on my butt, writing in a stupid blog. But I don’t feel super bad for doing nothing because when they leave I’m gonna have to clean the bathroom and the kitchen because even though they’ll try they wont do it well enough.

Other than that, I’m doing nothing. I ran for about 2 miles yesterday and thought I was going to die. It was hotter than hell. It was hottest day in a while; the high was 90 f. Today I want to do Pilates but I refuse to do it while strange men are around and also they're walking right through my "exercise mat" (the floor) all the time.

Matt said he was going to start a blog called “totally defined”- but I sincerely doubt it.

I need a job.

a lawn mower, a electrician and my bladder

So today I slept way too late and I’m going to run to make it all better and hopefully do some pilates too later. And of course I tell myself not to over eat today but we’ll see how that goes. ANYWAYS!

I wake up to the sound of my landlord (who is a electrician as well!) coming in my apartment (I knew he was coming) to install an exhaust fan in the bathroom. Not quite sure why we needed a fan there wasn’t one before but maybe I’ll ask in a little bit, he’s still here. He’s currently outside talking to a lawn mower guy, who sounds like that type of guy who’s lost many teeth and would say New Orleans like “NAW-lens”. My landlord just said his name is Jim and that he is “chatty” today. Interesting. But back to my point, they’re working in bathroom and I didn’t realize that that means I can’t go to the bathroom so I’m kind of ruined here… trying not to think how I haven’t peed since like 2 am last night. And it’s now almost 2 pm. Damn.

the song!

the song playing on the tv show was regina spektor "fidelity"
and i decided that the song i want to play while i walk out if i ever am a guest on conan obrien is aquabats' "super rad!".

first amazing post

After being silent for OH so many years I've decided to start another online journal thing. And you might ask yourself "Why start again? Surely everything that needs to be said has been said.” I will tell you what brought me crashing in social commentary.

I was watching MTV for one 30-minute show. The life of Ryan- a show that is about a 17-year-old skate boarder. What cracked me up is that in the show he starts being interested in his good friend’s ex-hook up. First off there are so many things with this show’s description already… but I digress. Whilst all these California youngsters hang out in a pool one longingly looks at the other while a perfectly delicate indie song (by some delightful girl with leggings and big jewelry and either too asymmetrical or too symmetrical hair) emotionally plays in the background. I’ll find out what song. This clash of two very different music genres literally made me laugh out loud. Oh MTV. It just cracks me up. The songs could be one of two things- 1) it was put there to maybe expand the minds of those who are watching that maybe there’s more to music than big labels and the radio which for a long time has had it’s play lists planned by money. 2) it was a mistake, and someone just heard a sweet song and thought “Oh this scene has emotions let’s play this.”

Now let me explain my choice of names and address. “I just don’t know anymore” is how I feel right now about most everything. “Life after college” is only three words but it’s looking more and more like a four letter word. And the “lack of definition” is representative of my body and my thoughts and most of tastes. It was available too! So lucky me. So here we are again, talking to no one and yet every one. I’m sure I’ll be making plenty of pointless entries but oh well.
