i have a cat fishing poll….a toy mouse attached by elastic string to the end of a wooden stick. kitty has learned to drag the stick around and up stairs. it’s seriously the funniest cat thing ever. no wait, the funniest cat thing was when it was trying to dry off after we gave it a bath the other day. the stick thing is pretty damn funny to see though.
u2 has pissed off most of their die hard fans today. ticket presale – they offered 20 tickets. they HAD to have. i can’t think of any other reason why immediately at 10am the shows were sold out. the presale STARTED at 10am. most people didn’t get any tickets, olive said she got 1. ONE! what the hell is the point in that?!?! we’re paying to sign up for stupid u2.com purely for the presale and it’s a bunch of shit and no one was able to get tickets. everyone is majorly pissed off.
so yep. no tickets. will have to fight with everyone else and their brother on saturday for the public onsale. wouldn’t be surprised to get 0 tickets then either. and then we’re screwed. no u2 shows for us, cuz they’re playing all of 13 dates.
what is the matter with them.
sat with kate at denny’s til 7am. talked about u2, music, my shit, her shit, it was really nice and somehow i managed not to cry. got all excited about the tour just to end up with no tickets tho…
u2 tour announcement, and…they’re coming no where near here….closest is boston and nyc….presale starts tomorrow so we gotta make a decision. my vote is for boston cuz we have someplace we could stay.
and may 3rd new nine inch nails record! may 3rd may 3rd may 3rd may 3rd.
everyone can rest easy now, the apartment is not radioactive. my new geiger counter said so.
now selling, 1 2001 VIP inaugural invitation package given to foreign diplomats and special guests, on ebay. not that any of you would be interested, but thought i’d throw it out there.
my photo show at Artsphere will open on feb 12th and continue to march 12th. i am supposed to show just bct photos but when i talk to her today i’m going to insist that i’d like to show other things as well. i’m also going to insist that i dont need to frame them all because i really can’t afford to frame 20 images, plus take care of the invitation printing, etc. she had originally said i could just have them matted, which i can handle. 200$ in frames i cannot. need to remember to ask about selling work, and how much she’d get in commission if anyone was interested (tho i don’t expect that to happen). so now i need a title for my show and i need images haha. any input is appreciated.
i finished part one of my project at the psych hospital. all images (easily around 400) have been scanned, and now i need to separate and edit them. i most likely will be able to do that from home, so it’ll be a much faster process than if i had to do it in tim’s office. we just dont know yet if a mac formatted tiff image will open on my pc…but we’ll see. 400 pics…and we didn’t scan everything. we scanned things that were relevant to just the buildings and grounds. there were lots of images of people, group shots of staff and doctors etc. one scrapbook full of newspaper articles from the construction of the building in the late 1800s etc. we didn’t even begin to go through and read them, just didn’t have time, but it would be amazing stuff i’m sure. i also scanned a few things that were just fun, like this big picture of a cafeteria tray with food on it. tim wanted it too so hahah.
*choking*
now the question is…do i want to take my vacation the last week of march and go to London to see nine inch nails play 2 club dates? *off to yahoo travel*
*edit* yes, yes i do. and i will. it will all depend if i can get tickets during the presale tomorrow. if i do, there is a 600$ flight from toronto to gatwick. it is the only nonstop flight anymore…which makes NO sense to me since toronto used to be a great airport to fly out of….anyway. it’s either 600$ non stop, or 1200$ with a connection….gee…that makes it difficult to choose. not worrying about logistics of this trip until i have the show tickets – like hotel and stuff. if i think about this too much i’ll decide not to go, and i’ll kick myself. so i’m going to be like sarah medley my old suitemate who just went to new zealand for no particular reason except just to go. i will need to find my/get a new passport.
i can do this. i went to england by myself when i was SEVENTEEN! i can go there by myself when i’m 24. i can. i really can. sucks that i have no friends there anymore tho…damn hotels. i’m too afraid to stay in a hostel. hmmm maybe i can find someone who’d go with me…
not happening. apparently i had to take the time difference into account for the start of the presale. which i didn’t. go me.
migrane. not going to bob today to finish up scanning. how unfortunate cuz i want to be done already. feel like a nusance hanging there every day.
molly is going away to live with lei’s brother instead of here. i’m not going to lie and say i’m going to miss it, because i still hate dogs. but it’s sad for her. the one really good thing about it, is that since our complex doesn’t know about the cat, we can tell them we got rid of the dog, and they can drop the extra charge on our rent! woo!
need to take some drugs and go back to bed.
i want to go to canisius college just so i can take this course: HIS 379 “Video Killed the Radio Star”: America in the 1980s !!!!!!!!!! This class will investigate popular culture and cultural history by studying the 1980s. From Pac-Man to Madonna to the Cosby Show, this course will examine cultural icons of the Reagan era. We will investigate the role of mass media in shaping our lives, through TV, film, advertising and other means. We will also apply our knowledge about Popular Culture to contemporary American society and to our own lives. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i. hate. my. neurologist. office. i mainly just hate the receptionist, as i think i mentioned a week or so ago. she’s a dumb bitch and has a major attitude problem. i called last week to try to change my appointment so that it wasn’t at 8:45 am (!!) but they couldn’t get me in until march. so i said never mind, i’d keep the 8am appointment. i ended up getting out of work 3.5 hours early even tho i was flooring (!!!!!!) so i was able to get some sleep, but still, waking up at 8am is not happy. i sat there for an hour, the lady kept calling me christine for some reason, until she finally realized who i was and said that i had cancelled. no i absolutely made it VERY clear i was keeping this appt since they couldn’t get me in before march. she actually didn’t get attitude with me, and they did see me (for a whole 3 minutes, seriously) and i did get my new scripts written.
if i had stayed at work til 4 and not slept i would have been very much more disgruntled than i was. but getting some sleep helped me not be entirely pissed off.
but YAY PAIN KILLERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and i went home and slept til 330.
and i’m not going to buy a house anymore. mainly because i need to get out of here. i can’t handle my life here. just need to get awaaay from the things that make me unhappy at the moment. it’s sad really. rather, i’m sad. sad in a self loathing way, not that “i’m sad about X” way….this makes no sense so i’ll stop.
the highlight of my day is realizing that the disposable black and white camera that my aunt and uncle gave me for christmas says “make any picture a classic” lol…yep… a classic photo JUST cuz it’s in black and white HA!
of course, i mean highlight of my day other than spending another 4 hours going through archival photos of the Richardson complex. that’s my new project, scanning all the old photos of the psych center. i had volunteered to do so a year ago but they never took me up on it. i had mentioned this to the head of the campaign for greater buffalo, who worked it out, so that what i’m doing. i’ve barely made a dent in them it seems, after 3 days of doing it. i have dr appts on mon and tues, but i’ll be back working on it on wed until whenever i get done. very cool stuff. very cool stuff indeed
but i feel like crap. i’m not allowed to be alone and not occupied because i just get myself into a very unhappy place and blahblahblah. whine whine whine unhappy unhappy unhappy.
