oh oh oh!!! when i was in the falls today, there were people on scaffolding cleaning the united office building. and the door was open!! theres a big for lease sign on it now, so i’m gonna see if i can find someone to let me in to photograph it. signs of life, could mean permission! haha
music1: got the new depeche mode cd. it’s good. i think i like it better on first listen than exciter. they are one of those bands where i dont like a full album. i really would like to see them. but i looked at my bank account and it’s sooo not happy. maybe i can win tickets somehow haha.
music2: word on the street is the tea party broke up. dave told me on the bus to work yesterday. he said he saw it on their site, but i went today and only saw that their tour dates were cancelled for personal reasons. dave said jeff martin wants to go off on his own and do his solo stuff but didn’t rule out doing something with tea party years down the road. i guess it’s good that i saw them 983497 times.
music3: haha Burt Bacharach will get his first feedback from American audiences when he performs tunes from his new politically themed album with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra in Buffalo, N.Y., on Friday and Saturday.
music4: from i love the 80s 3d, hal sparks, “my friend used to call no jacket required, no talent required.” LOL
totally froze to death at the terminal today for 2.5 hours. i still haven’t warmed up and i even had soup. really tired too, almost fell asleep in the building haha.
and i think i realized why i wanted to be a psychologist. i was absolutely in love with Growing Pains, and Mr Seaver was a psychiatrist. i used to name my barbie dolls after the Seavers.
what a fantastic death abyss
work, boring. realized my next 2 pay checks are going to be for 2 days each. yikes. but i’ll be having a wonderful time on tour with nin for 10 days, and fitting some urbex in there probably too. we have a few days between cities that we’ll need to entertain ourselves, and i found a few sites en route. gotta make myself work 40 hour weeks for the rest of the year tho.
have to be at the terminal tomorrow at 1 to let some french photographers in. and williamsville school is coming to pick up their walls from the student show back in may. i’m gonna freeze all day long. hopefully i won’t have to be there forever. it’s cold and damp and yuck. and i need to finish the newsletter so i can have it printed and mailed in the next few days, regardless if i get the rest of the info for it that i need.
thursday i have to go to the dr again. getting my money’s worth from my health insurance.
wow. i was trying to tell about the hellacious quality of the Fuccillo car dealership commercials, and how they make me murderous. randomly i thought “the internet is a vast and wonderful resource, maybe some crazy fuccillo lover has recorded some of his stellar commercials and uploaded them to the net.” this is not the case, BUT, it amused the hell out of me to do a search for “fuccillo commercials” and get all sorts of pages of people talking about how much they hate him and his commercials LOL.
and holy mother of god, there is a fuccillo autograph auction on ebay
the end.
commercial 1: for a text message sex service….”if what you got is phat, let’s chat” LOL
commercial 2: disairono (spelling) alcohol. i swear to god they just said “with the smooth, sexual taste….” i’m betting they said sensual, but it SO sounded like sexual, and wow that’s just gross.
had work training class today instead of being at the u2 show in detroit. so lets say it was far less entertaining than what i SHOULD have been doing. did not learn a single thing i didn’t already know. maybe it’s just me and the fact that i had a training class for customer service less than 6 months ago at work, and that i went to management training classes for mcdonalds when i was 17 – but really. i know how to treat a customer. i don’t do it, but i know how i should do it hahaha. so it was pretty much a waste of 8 hours, and i think it’ll end up being a waste of the millions of dollars that the company is paying to have these consultants come in and train every single employee.
in other news, i finished the absinthe book, and i am now reading a book about a profiler and her 30 years of profiling serial killers. hoping not to scare myself shitless with the book. still no one has bought me the zodiac killer book i want. i also remembered that i ordered a book from half.com about the chicago serial killer during the world’s fair and i haven’t gotten it yet hmmmm
ok i don’t care how lame anyone thinks i am, i gotta come clean. i absolutely love chris angel mindfreak. i just love him. when i go to vegas i totally wanna see one of his street shows. i wanna levitate.
and know who i hate? janice dickenson. hello, you’re a nobody. you are not considered to be a super model, even if you claim to have invented the term in the 70s. you were never on that fame level. and suddenly you’re everywhere, on all these dumb reality shows and pop culture countdown shows. you’re still nobody. and you look every bit your age, except your hair. you looked absolutely HORRIBLE on the last surreal life episodes. the botox is falling out, better go catch it.
i’m depressed that i’m not at all into halloween this year. it’s my favourite month and favourite holiday, and i’m just not into it. i haven’t even bought a pumpkin. we can dress up for work only on monday, which sucks. they should let us dress up the whole weekend like last year. i don’t know what i’ll dress up as though, might just be goth girl again. still have the pirate costume that i didn’t wear last year too. can’t think of anything to be that includes my silver astronaut boots.
my favourite charlie brown special was always the great pumpkin episode.
dresden dolls are playing buffalo tonight, and i’m off since i was supposed to be in detroit. dunno if i’m gonna go though.
holy fucking shit
from rolling stone:
What will Trent Reznor do when Nine Inch Nails U.S. tour ends on November 20th? “I might play theaters by myself, with the piano and some electronics,” Reznor reveals to the smoking section. “Just try something that’s the antithesis of the shows we’re doing now.” No way! “This arena tour is spectacle, it’s bombast,” he continues. “But as a musician it’s not like an improvisational situation – primarily, we stick to the script. I have a newfound confidence, a combination of being sober, getting older and being a little more comfortable in my own skin, and I wouldn’t mind creating a new environment where the sound is more spontaneous.” Reznor also adds that being lucid 24/7 has fired up his songwriting – he hopes to drop a new NIN album in 2006.
oh my fucking god i’ll be quitting my job to go to every single show. no new couch for me, not buying anything else. christmas gifts are gonna suck, and 40 hour weeks here i come. cuz i’ll need all the money i have for this.
i’m sick.
so i bought a bottle of absinthe. the kind i got, i got based partly on reviews i read, and because it looked like it had a cool label. got it today, and holy crap it really does have the coolest label ever. once we drink it on the mini tour i’m totally filling it back up with green water to display.
heather is gonna come visit on sunday and go photograph at the terminal. so i get to go freeze my ass off again hahah. all good.
there was something else i was going to say but i forget what it was.
oh yeah. kate decided to go to the u2 detroit show after all. but my ebay auction had bids and only 3 hours left so i couldn’t cancel it. we tried to use kates account to super bid so she’d guarantee to win it, but ebay was broken and we couldn’t bid. i cancelled the first 2 bids and figured if it was broken, no one else could bid. but someone managed to bid for 100$ and win, so i had to tell them i couldnt see the tickets cuz i was going to use them afterall. shitty. hope he doesn’t turn me into ebay.
ok when did it change that school buses stop every 5 feet to drop of kids. *puffy and old and cranky* back in my day there was one bus stop for the entire street. snow, wind, rain, you went to that one bus stop and the bus came and got you and dropped you off there at the end of the day. none of this stopping at every single kids driveway even though you stopped 10 feet earlier at the driveway before. KIDS CAN WALK! it just took me 7 minutes to drive down my street, because i was behind a bus that stopped at every single driveway on the street. wtf.
wow hurricane wilma is a cat 5 already?
and in other news, i was indeed published again in the current issue of Western New York heritage magazine. A photo of the stained glass window in the cafeteria of JN Adam’s TB hospital. the good thing about the photo they chose – you can’t figure out when i was in the building 🙂 i accidentally mentioned to my mom that joe was arrested there, and she didn’t flinch or ask anything at all. surprising.
getting my phone set up. i can’t figure out how to send pictures i take on the phone to my comp. i might have to pay for multimedia messenging in order to do so. but i’d think, like txt messages, you’d be allowed to do so even if you don’t subscribe to the service, and just pay out the ass for it. i like my phone camera, you can choose photo quality between 5 different ones, you can choose pixel size between 3 different ones, multi shot, night shot, change the brightness before you take it, and 4x zoom. i was impressed for a silly camera phone. i just wanna see what they look like not on my phone’s screen. gotta try the night shot still.
therapy today. was ok i guess. throat hurts tons, definitely getting sick. i forgot to take my vitamins yesterday. every time i forget, the next day i get a sore throat. and each time adr2 and i have seen trent she gets sick, and when she gets better i get sick. trent disease hahah. i didn’t drink out of a communal water bottle this time, but she did.
