a spam email i got: “urgent! obese malodorous boy missing” LOL wtf

old tour bootlegs showing up. detroit 05 and boston 05. been looking for boston for ages, and had talked to the taper about it back then. since trent was pissed about the seats it was an interesting show. our 2 newest shows have shown up too, which is nice. i’ve decided i miss aaron during only. some people have said they like robin’s version better, but i have a hard time even recognizing the song when it kicks in after the intro. and yeah, i just think i like aaron on only better. but i do love trent’s choreography with the light screen better than the static of the with teeth show version. but then, no tour can hold a candle to the stage and show of this tour, so it’s a given.

i am far beyond aggravated with the bank/mortgage stuff as dan so nicely found out on IM today. they’re going into ridiculous territory now, asking where my mom got the money to give me 4 months ago. maybe she saved her change, and extra grocery money every week for the last 30some years my parents have been married (which she has). maybe she took after her parents, who were depression children, who didn’t trust banks, and that’s why the money isn’t in a bank account. because she doesn’t have a bank account doesn’t mean they money came from selling drugs or mafia activity. they asked me to explain the deposit, and i did, a gift from my mom. it should end there. period. but no they must be told where the money came from so they want proof that my mom sold my grandmas house 2 years ago. my lawyer is calling them cuz he thinks it’s ridiculous and unnecessary as well. i understand the things they are asking for to a point, but that point has long gone, and now i can’t wait to be done with this. because even beyond the things they’re asking me for, they clearly are incompetent, and have no communication within their offices. i hope hsbc gives me a feedback form to fill out about the process because they’ll be getting a piece of my mind. i’ve already gotten attitude in emails with them.

went to the erie county fair yesterday with people from work and adr. not as many ppl went this year, they’re all slackers. it was a nice day though, not too hot, but i forgot sunscreen and thus am burned. not horrible but enough. walked around, ate, saw monkeys riding dogs, looked at cows, perused the stuff for sale in the agri-center as we avoided the rain. the usual.

i’m going to kill someone at the bank. while in CT the lawyer called me to see if i wanted to move up the closing date. i said sure if we can do it before the next tour leg starts. he calls back, the bank says they haven’t gotten any of the required information which i sent 2 weeks ago. so i email the contact at the bank, his name is brian. he’s out of the office until yesterday. but yesterday he writes back and says yes, everything is in the hands of the underwriter. so i get called by some other lady at the bank, i don’t know what her job is, and she says again she doesn’t have any of this information. i say i sent it in 2 weeks ago by mail, as per the envelopes included with the rest of this paperwork i don’t understand. well i need to send it all in again. great. she wants me to fax it, i don’t have a fax machine. she says, i can take it to any hsbc branch and they will fax it for me for free. WELL THAT’S NICE TO KNOW! she says, the quick closing fax cover sheets were in the folder, which they are, but NO WHERE does it EVER say ANYWHERE what the hell those sheets were for, or that i’m supposed to take all the stuff to an hsbc branch for THEM to fax for me. if i had known that a MONTH AND A HALF AGO this would all have been so much easier. but no, i have to send in 7 things including 2 letters from my mother (lol) all over again. this shit fucking sucks. don’t buy a house.

plus she calls at 10:30 am, i now am exhausted and have a huge fucking headache.

It’s apparently illegal to kick someone out of your car on the mass pike

planning for this week…we’re staying at the super 8 in groton ct, 15 miles from mohegan sun on thurs night. i used hotwire, which was very stressful. had no idea what we’d be getting before hand, but it’s cheap. looking up reviews now that i know what we’ve gotten, some say it was absolute crap and had roaches, others say it was great. may bring my own towel tho….

i desperately need to get out early tonight as eric is coming over very very early tomorrow for going to toronto. the weather has potential to be crap and storms all day too which sucks…hopefully we can sit inside at air canada center like during the november 05 show.

and that reminds me, carolyn maybe you can help. british friends are visiting in a few weeks and want to go to toronto for the day. what do tourists do in toronto besides CN tower? cuz after that i don’t know where to take them hahahah. 2 adults and 2 children, and me. i’ve never really been a toronto tourist… ideas welcome.

i had to be at the terminal at 7 am to let in the caterers for todays wedding, so i stopped at my old mcdonalds drive thru on my way. and wow, they now have an automatic drink dispenser in drive thru. it must be hooked up to the register system, and when a drink is ordered it snaps into action. the different size cups spun around, and a mechanical arm grabbed on and put it on a conveyor that took it under a dispenser. from the looks of it, the first dispenser puts the pop syrup in the cup, it’s moved to the next dispenser which adds the soda water…which seems kind of strange, why they can’t just use the old pop system but there was no other way to explain it. then it moves over and sits there ready for the person to slap a lid on it and give it to the customer. progress!! but my food was still terrible, hashbrowns mushy and undercooked, the sausage biscuits hard as rocks (and they’d only been serving breakfast for an hour or so), i guess some things never change. ha

i tried to sleep all day, seeing as how i was up for 21 hours before getting to bed, but it didn’t happen. so now i’m tired, neck and head hurts, and starving. oh and it’s 85 degrees in my house. can’t wait for central AC.
