hey guess who is NOT going to see u2 in detroit on monday. Oh yeah, that’s right, me.
Fucking piece of shit job, completely unwilling to switch my fucking stupid training day JUST BY ONE FUCKING DAY. the ONLY day of the month that i couldn’t go to training, and they schedule me that same fucking day. and it can sound conspiracy theory if you want, but i KNOW it has to do with me giving back my managment position. they are being completely unreasonable. Fuck them.
i got a new phone today. none of my ringtones transferred, so i’m bummed. the internet on it isn’t working right now. i need chairman mao back, but apparently its not available for my phone. i’ll have to get a warhol cow.

at the tolouse-lautrec show i bought a book about the history of absinthe, which was a huge “fad” in monmarte among the bohemian culture when he was living. really makes me want to try some, but that aside… an exerpt:
absinthe moved further into the mainstream counter-culture with the 1997 video for the track “the perfect drug” (available in a ‘domination mix’ and an ‘absinthe mix’) by dark and doomy S/M oriented US band nine inch nails, in which trent reznor is seen preparing absinthe amid edward gorey-style landscapes, and perhaps regretting having murdered a girl. along with nine inch nails, gothic rocker marilyn manson is also said to buy crates of absinthe from the united kingdom. underground ‘absinthe clubs’ were alledged to be springing up in DJ Levien’s absinthe pulp fiction Wormwood, a fictional state of affairs only possible because absinthe remains illegal in america. its legal status caused speculation when presidential wife hillary clinton was photographed in prague with a glass of absinthe in front of her. did she actually drink any, people wondered, or was it a neat counterpart to her husband’s trick of ‘not inhaling’?
haha i wonder what would happen if you were caught by cops with absinthe. is it like pot? would you get arrested with drug charges? i bet alot of people have never even heard of absinthe.
*sigh* today was crap. turns out i wasn’t a 10pm start today, so i was an hour and a half late to work. they made me a 10 start so that i wouldn’t get any points, and still got out as 4 as always with the late starts. sucked but turned out ok. i am a 10 tomorrow however. fine. and i am a 10 NEXT friday. none of this makes me look good anymore. not sure i mentioned it, but u2 detroit is in jeopardy. we have mandatory customer service training at work, and of course my scheduled day is the 24th, the day of the show. i had requested the 23/24 off 2 months ago but they won’t give it to me because of this training. shift manager talked to me on tuesday about why i needed it off, which i lied of course, family reunion was my excuse and that my parents are making me go even though i don’t want to. he said he’d see what he could do, but i wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t switch my day. and i don’t know what that means for me. hopefully i find out if they can or cannot switch my day, and if i’ll get fired for not showing up so i can sell my ticket, or kate can take both and go with someone else, or something. i could use 300$ from selling the ticket but kate will be devastated.
and today was crap cuz i was just really depressed. i think the drugs have been working for the most part. none of the reasons behind my mood have gone away, they just aren’t bothering me anymore, and i’m not thinking about them constantly. which is part of my whole problem with the field of psychology and why i decided not to continue to phd level. i do have my first appt with the shrink on wednesday however. today was just…blah. another day wasted with me doing nothing, me getting upset and crying for the first time in a while. just thinking about things again and yuck.
and i’m completely freaking out with the probability of meeting trent reznor at one of the next 5 shows. because it is going to happen, and i will friggen make a total fool of myself and it’ll be awful. i’ll be able to die with my life complete, but i’ll still probably throw up.
i always wanted a craftmatic adjustable bed when i was a kid. i only just recently realized that it’s basically a hospital bed.
as if a strange phone call, and me going out and coming home to my door unlocked wasnt bad enough, my new neighbor got robbed at some point during the last few days. and it turns out i work with her. she knocked on my door earlier, and now the cops just did asking if i’ve seen anything. and i haven’t since i don’t leave the house. yuck.
cheap depeche mode tickets are 60$!! i guess i’m not going. that’s a bit much, esp for shit 300 level tickets. i need my money for trent touring through next summer. and yes i’ve estimated how much i’ve spent on tickets alone to all the nin shows, including the scalped tickets. i’m sick hahaha. there are 300 level tickets left for boston, but we’re going to wait and see on those. did i say that already? whatever.
looking forward to work only so i have something to do. i’ve done nothing again all day. i’ll probably end up sitting in high limit with no players, my luck.
i need to think of something to do with my pirate flag. the neighbors might tolerate it for halloween, but after that, they’ll probably hate it. and i’d need a flag pole…
god i am really really bored. i have no idea what to do with myself. i could unpack, because i still haven’t quite done so. and i could put the laundry away but i’ll just leave it sitting on the floor for another week or so. i could clean my desk, but i won’t. i could answer emails, again…won’t. i just have absolutely NO motivation to do anything. so i sit here and am bored and continue to do nothing. all that and i don’t work until 10 tonight, so i really have all bloody day. i can’t remember if i sent another photo order into walmart, i think i did, so i’ll go pick it up later. but beyond that…so friggen bored.
on a good note, someone went to hong kong and took detailed photos and measurements of the terminal’s old light fixures that are now in Cafe Deco in hong kong. we’ll be getting the info from them soon. sorta exciting. we might be able to get a reproduction done up, since we know we have no chance of getting them back from that restaurant. i’d probably start crying if i went to that restaurant haha. but no plans to go to hong kong any time soon. although carol said eric’s job hunt could lead them to living there for a few years. that’d be so cool!
omg i so missed hockey. and rick jennerret 🙂 wow i can’t spell his last name haha.
top shelf where mama hides the cookies!
my new future life plan is to move to california, san franscico area, work at a casino, and go back to college at a school in concord, ca (forget the name) to get either a masters or phd in parapsychology.
i love flying, and one of my favourite parts of flying – as long time readers know – is the sky mall catalog. this time, it was the christmas edition!! i figured it would be absolutely chock full of useless gadgets for sale just in time for the holidays. it was sadly disappointing, but it did have a few things to mention…
never-lose-another-golf-ball putter: a customer favourite for golfers, this putter is the easiet to practice with because it eliminates scrambling after practice putts – thanks to the attached reel you can simply wind in the ball after each shot. the putter is an authentic regulation 32″ club with rubber grip, and the reel is a quality spincast model that holds a 10lb test line attached to a regulation size golf ball. the line is so thin it doesn’t impede the ball. in a hammacher schlemmer exclusive design, the reel on our putter has a metal housing.
ok maybe it’s a typo, or i dont know enough about fishing reels, but i’d say something that holds 10 lbs of test line is pretty heavy and would affect the way you putt. but whatever. not too funny of a description but the picture is great. it’s a combo fishing rod golf putter. it’s really someone who got bored and hooked up a ball to their fishing rod. clever. stupid looking.
gravity-defying boots: these boots have a patented t-spring system that transforms walking, jumping, or running into an exhilarating bounce that builds balance, burns calories, and strengthens muscles. the boots buckle over athletic shoes and can be used by children and adults alike. gentle on joints and bones, the boots have a high-traction, non-marking tread for use indoors or out. for use on dry, flat surfaces while wearing appropriate saftey gear (not included).
again – not an interesting description, but i really need a flat bed scanner, the picture is incredible. maybe i can find one online. just think, the hard outter skeleton of roller blades attached to the bottom of a small tire. AHA, photo, check these things out
i’m mentioning this cuz i thought it was way cool and i want both of them
