SO EXCITED. a bunch of fans of the show Fear on mtv put together a 7 dvd set of all episodes and bonus stuff. sold on ebay. totally mine now! freakin loved that show. can’t wait to get it!
i’m off of work for 2 days and i go back to find that the nearby factory Olin is being demolished. They already half demolished what appeared to be an office building. they’ve started tearing off the blue siding on 2 other buildings to reveal beautiful brick structures underneath. !! going to go out there tomorrow afternoon and see what i can see. haven’t heard about if we’re going to attempt exploring this sunday. david from detroit is in town and wanted to check some places out. dunno if i’ll hear from him tomorrow. schedule is open i guess.
good news bad news
good news. i go on vacation in 6 days. chicago for 3 days, detroit in secret for 1 day, and cleveland for 1 day. nine inch nails shows of course. i convinced adr2 to go to chicago with me, but detroit will be by myself, then meeting adr2 and bliss for the show and a ride home in cleveland.
bad news. jerome dillon, nin drummer, is in the hospital again with his newly discovered heart condition. they cancelled the oakland show, but trent said they are getting a replacement drummer. however if the shows next week get cancelled… i guess i still will go to chicago and detroit cuz i don’t want to waste the money i spent on the flights. but i have no way of getting home…i have one way flights. adr2 said she’d still go to cleveland to get me, but i may be able to change my rental car info and be able to drive it back to buffalo. wait and see i guess. i hope the shows aren’t cancelled because i’d have to just get refunds for the tickets. won’t be able to get the time off to go to the rescheduled dates i’m sure.
i need to take kitty to the vet soon. they sent me a cute little post card. so among the dentist appt, and 2 doctor appts, i will have to make a kitty appt.
saw the corpse bride tonight with kate, adr2 and bliss. it was cute.
wolf blitzer is from buffalo? that’s what he just said on his show. i love him. haha before i knew he was from buffalo. the other funny guy from the show said that buffalonians write in alot because they have nothing else to do, and wolf stuck up for buffalo haha. this amuses me tons.
an anorexic stray cat just came in my house. it was black with a little white on it’s paws, and gold eyes. pretty but very skinny. kitty was none to pleased with another cat in the house. had to chase it around to get it back outside.
finally made jenn’s baby the new kids on the block shirt i was trying to make for her shower…back in FEBRUARY! i’m so lazy.
last year a canadian documentary crew did a film at the terminal. we recieved the final version and are still deciding what to do about it. it was a good project, even if i do look bad with orange hair in it :). anyway. one of the stellar things in the film is the conversation that they had with tom telesco, the 2nd post 1979 owner of the building, and the one responsible for selling off all the decorative items inside the building.
i mention this, cuz his apparent story is that he went down to florida after hurricane andrew and made tons of money rebuilding down there. cnn has a report on right now about bogus scam artist contractors and i’d laugh my ass off if he was one of them.
that is all.
Hm. ok. is there an eclipse right now or something? the moon is a crescent moon at the moment. but it’s horizontal. isn’t the crescent moon always vertical? it looks like a cheshire cat smiling. and i don’t remember ever seeing a horizontal moon sliver before. i’m a bit unnerved. maybe i just never paid attention before. does anyone know anything about astronomy?
i’m not dead. mom wanted to come sleep here again tonight. i told her i’d be ok. and my aunt suddenly thinks i’m coming to chicago tomorrow. um, no, one more week. gotta make sure to get a hold of her tomorrow so she doesn’t go to midway to get me.
i’m getting my extensions done on tuesday. probably just black, but if i can i want to put blue streaks in. don’t know why blue, but…well. i do know why. it was a dream i had a while ago haha. but i have to work with the hair for one night so we’ll see. it also suddenly occured to me i could have the girl weave dreds in. i don’t know how i’d look in dreds but you know, i’m so goth 😛 it’d fit. again, would have to work with the hair so…i don’t even know where we are going to get the fake hair, somewhere in the ghetto.
call me paranoid but…
i got a strange phone call on my way to work tonight. they asked for me by name, said their name was anthony. so i thought it was tony, though it wasn’t his cell number. he asked if i was home, i said no. he asked me for my house number. so i told him. now things aren’t matching up in my head. he repeated the number incorrectly so i told him again, and he repeated it incorrectly again and i just said yeah. cuz i’m realizing i don’t know who this person is. he never asked me for my street name, just the number.
so now i’m freaked out. so i call my parents and ask my dad if he can go over to my house and see if anyone is breaking in. he did, no one was there. i asked tommy to call the guy back and find out who he was. the guy told tommy he was trying to get a hold of his cousin, who’s also named sara, to get his aunt’s phone number. tommy asked the guy if he asked me for my address and he told tommy no. tommy said the guy sounded sketchy.
ok and of course my mom is freaked out. so my parents came over at 4am when i got home to make sure no one was hiding in the bushes waiting to kill me, or already inside, or if there was a mail bomb on my porch. and mom is sleeping downstairs on the couch.
very unsettling. it would be a massive coincidence if this guy called a wrong number of a person who had the same name. i can’t think of any other anthony’s, especially ones that would 1. have my phone number and 2. have any reason to call me and 3. have any reason to know where i live enough to just need my house number. i don’t like this.
the cable went out friday afternoon. it made me realize just how addicted to cnn i am. no cable, huge storm about to hit, and i have no means of communication. i was stressin. seriously. i’m sick. today the tv was back but no internet, spent an hour on the phone with adelphia after getting home from oktoberfest in order to get it working again.
today was the first, hopefully now annual, oktoberfest at buffalo central terminal. i think it’s safe to say it was a big success and we were all a bit worried, because we have an advertising problem. aka we have no money to PAY for advertising. but we had a really good turnout. ran out of food. nearly ran out of beer. the band, the frankfurters, were awesome for a german oompa band. so this was really good for us. made some of us jaded members more optimistic again.
saw the most fabulous thing ever today. lei, james and i were out putting up our signs in the neighborhood and this lady came riding by on one of those adult tricycle bikes, with a basket on back, and a boombox bungee corded onto the back, blasting old school rap. it was SO GREAT. after that we got ice cream at the fabulous gran grans ice cream stand. they got a paint job and a different name since the first time i took leighanne to the terminal 3 years ago.
and nobody knew what “sig heil” meant. we know now. and it’s not bad. we figured it was probably bad, cuz it’s associated with hitler, and were afraid to ask people what it meant incase it was offensive.
so yeah. had a good time. if things go well tomorrow i will be doing some shooting with a few kids from toronto. should be good. i should sleep probably.
dream
odd dream before i woke up. that i got all gothed up and went downtown for no apparent reason. ended up parking near a bar called BombSmoke where there was a line of goth kids for some show. ended up running into emily and this girl angela from high school. walking around with them i got a text message from asking if i was at a nin show. i still hadn’t figured out who was playing at this bar. the bar was wicked cool, all roy lichtenstien-ed out. now i wanna open a bar like that haha. give the continental some compitition, as if i’d know what goes into running a goth bar.
then emily posted in her lj this morning for the first time in years. weird.
i’m looking to buy a new couch. a red one. found a cool one at fws yesterday. mom called early this morning to go to rosa’s cuz they have one too for less. then i want a big huge giant russian propaganda poster to go with it.
i should start my day then i guess…
you know it’s time for bed when: the tv program changes and the first thing the woman says is “thank you for waking up with us today”
you know it’s time for a new toothbrush when: the bristles fall out in your mouth
and no, i will not take off my u2 wristbands. not for another 2 days at the very least. a week is tradition.
