ran into someone quite unexpectedly at work today. i was running a bit late because i forgot my badge, so i didn’t have alot of time to talk to them, but it was weird. not necessarily bad weird, but a bit weird. it was dani…from geneseo…who stopped talking to me 4 years ago…acted as if she was really glad to see me, and as if we just sorta lost touch after graduation, and not that she de-friended danielle and i after sophomore year. she’s in town doing a rotation at sisters hospital. so i guess she did get into medical school. traded phone numbers, but i don’t expect a call. like i said. it was weird, but at the same time, it sorta was as if we hadn’t stopped talking…she had been a good friend before all the shit went down with the suitemates…but that’s another story that’s been told many times before (but that still upsets me if i think about it alot…which i don’t ever do lol). it’s a shame really…one of my favourite geneseo memories was with her – when i made her burst out laughing in the middle of our sociology class freshman year.

and i got out of work 2 hours early. can’t complain

i’ve been getting comment spammed like you wouldn’t believe. so i attempted to integrate an anti spam thing…it seems that the site works still, so that’s good, but if you try to comment and it doesn’t work, let me know. and we’ll see if this stops the spam. i sure as hell hope so.

yesterday….james and adr came over, and the 4 of us ended up painting canvases to decorate our living room with. james and lei thought it necessary to have a theme, instead of just doing whatever we wanted to. so the theme ended up being “nucular”. good old W…..so lei painted a sock monkey holding an atom bomb, which is wonderful. adr painted an atomic flower. mine is all red. james’ isn’t finished yet. then adr painted lei an extra special painting of a sock monkey which is fabulous as well.

also we drank a bunch of mike’s alcoholic beverages because their bottle caps all have words on them, and we made them into our very own set of magnetic poetry words for the fridge. rock!

commenced watching the rest of “pirates of the carribbean” which is a highly entertaining movie, tho a bit too long. i did enjoy it though.

then it was bed time.

today brought exploring the bct tunnels. which was actually very interesting in a really boring sort of way. because there is really nothing to see, and definitely nothing to really photograph (besides the fact that there is no light down there anyway). but it was really cool i thought. it was very very creepy. we had to hop a train that was sitting on the tracks between the building and the tunnels, once in the tunnels the train started to move….so it was making very eerie noises while we were in the tunnels. not quite train like noises, it was very surreal and strange. at one point i commented to james that i felt like we were underground in the city of Lud with the war drums (dark tower reference incase you cared). once the train left, it was entirely too quiet, and i very much wanted the train noises back. good thing more trains did come by. our tunnel seems to be perfectly fine, and clean, and relatively non toxic (seriously…it was fine)…the post office tunnel however…i thought i was going to pass out. it just smelled so toxic, the water was so nasty. climbed over some…stuff…that was definitely placed on purpose so people wouldn’t continue through the tunnel to the post office. the water got much too deep farther along for us to continue, and then the strange noises started…not train noises, but noises that made us think someone/thing was at the other end of the tunnel and had heard us (well at least that’s what it made me think haha)…after standing there listening, we headed back and out. it struck me as a cool experience, not something i’m all that interested in, but did more for the actual “thrill” of it, and the fact it’s the only place on property where i haven’t been.

met russell up at the building, and scoped out a space for james to do his art installation. found this really cool room that i had never seen before…i still don’t understand how i continue to find things in that building that i’ve never seen before (also the restaurant managers office, that houses perhaps the largest piece of intact glass in the entire structure hahaha).

from there we spur of the moment decided to go to the last thursday in the square for a bit. i really don’t like being down there, it just doesn’t appeal to me at all. and i was completely scummified from the tunnels. we met up with mike and paul, walked a bit, listened to some of the (as james put it) “indescript rock band”, then went to towne restaurant to get some food. met up with mike and paul again at fugazi, played some darts and pool and headed home.

i had a fun time, so that’s good right? lol.

and i’ve decided that the only reason there are pool tables at bars are so that people have reasons to lean over something and show off their ass, and or boobs, and for others to spectate the view. nothing wrong with that lol.

have to meet with a gallery owner who wants to do a story on the clock thing for artvoice, and probably talk to her about my show she wants to have there in february. work at 10 (BLAH).

“Nine Inch Nails/Trent Reznor is not participating in a Fight Club musical. No matter what this month’s Maxim says. Chuck has remarked at various public appearances that he would do a musical if that’s what it took to get Reznor on board, but that doesn’t mean they’re doing it.”

OH THANK THE LORD!!!!!!!

and in other nin news…a perfect circle emailed their list with their new flash video for a remix of “pet” entitled “count bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums”….can you guess what the video features? yes that’s right, everyone’s favourite president, mr Dubya. the remix is pretty cool (as are most apc remixes, can i get an amen?), however it very much sounds like trent screaming in it…i mean… it’s GOTTA be trent screaming in it. and it very much sounds like a danny lohner remix (and he has been rumored to have completely remixed thirtheenth step for the november remix album/dvd release so it makes sense)….so i would not be surprised if danny used trent screaming in the remix.

cuz any of you cared to read that i know.

i had a pretty….stressful…not really nightmare, but still frightening in a disturbing way….dream about james last night. yeah. disturbing is the word to describe it. don’t remember much, but it had something to do with him and my mom….plotting against me or something. and a self help group of some type. i just half woke up from it and was very unhappy, and forced it out of my head so i could fall back asleep.

i was also interviewed by the buffalo news today, for an article that should be in tomorrow’s paper (meaning, wednesday’s paper).

dunno what’s going on tomorrow. brian has a “business meeting” hehe to attend, but might come by after depending on time, and i haven’t talked to james cuz he’s never online and i don’t know how to use a phone. but hopefully we’ll be seeing them tomorrow. i really have nothing to occupy my 2 days off, no laundry even, so…who knows.

today sucked. went mental regarding things at the terminal, which are still unclear at this time. depending on what tomorrow brings, i may either be 1. telling someone off the next time i see them 2. shutting up with my foot in my mouth. all i know is that it stressed me out and made me very pissed off, and i can only hope and hope and hope that it turns out ok.

and then work sucked. got suited up. it’s always me. and i’m not exaggerating. and it’s always when i’m trying to get out early. and not only that, but when i was supposed to get out tonight after my games closed, no i had to go replace someone who wanted to go home sick, but admitted that they werent actually sick. so once i got their games closed, i was supposed to go home, but no…someone else just decided to leave 2 hours early, and stick someone else in for over 2 hours, so guess who had to go give them a break. me. fabulous. i finally got out when my original pit boss saw i was still there and had a fit.

my new lie about why i don’t smile is that i was born without the proper muscle structure that would enable me to smile. any half smile you may see on my face is the result of thin plastic strings that are attached to my face, and go behind my head and down my sleeves, and i can pull on them and make my face show emotion. i thought it was pretty good.

tomorrow when they try to suit me up, i’m going to lie and say i forgot to bring a suit, and let them write me up. at least i’ll get to deal, or maybe even get sent home. i also need to look into demoting myself. because i’m tired of this.

 

i realized my calling in life. eventually, at some point in time, i myself will be an owner of an architectural salvage store. but only because at some point in the future i will have acquired enough weird crap that i’ll need to start selling it to buy food.

i must MUST own this: chicken egg vending machine

as if jordan knight playing buffalo in october wasnt exciting enough…vh1’s bands reunited show is reuniting new kids on the block!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *dies*

thursday was the pr committee meeting, which went really well. tackled a bunch of things, started planning stuff for next year. should be exciting if we can pull it off. after the meeting went to buca’s with lei, adr, and james. we had a 100$ visa card to spend, and we accomplished that quite nicely hahah. not sure what it is about buca that brings out the…sex conversations…but it does LOL. what happens at buca’s stays at buca’s. it was super fun, i thought lol. back home for the night, watched wayne’s world, and went to bed. i hadn’t realized how much i had been quoting that movie lately until we watched it. still have yet to watch the sequel tho.

today brought avoiding air show traffic (tho it didn’t start today, dunno why it was so traffic-y around our house), trying not to go deaf, praying for rain this weekend, and picking up my dry cleaning. worked 9-5 but got out at 4. easy night, all good. i think i floor the rest of the weekend, but i forget, and the scheduling office was closed by the time i got my first break (i got stuck in 2.5 hrs, ug). dealing mon and tues, flooring the rest of my days…we get new uniforms next week too. yippee fun wow

i think i have the only job in the world where you can complain when it’s been an hour (or 2 hrs if your flooring) and you haven’t gotten a break.

and tonight, someone told me i look like sailor moon. it’s been a while since i’ve gotten the asian/anime comments.

and ha, i just found my very very first email to brian. where i promised not to be annoying if he let me tag along urbexing with him. ha. so great.

i’ve decided that if i really pay attention to the new tea party record, most of it could make me cry.

and it’s all related to this statement: “someone to call me love club”, which only leighanne will really get haha. *sigh*

and my current favourite song, besides “wishing you would stay” is “cold” by aphasia. it rocks so hard. and it’s one of 2 songs i remember them playing in toronto haha.

movie night was game night instead. played risk for the first time in ages…when packing it up james found sheets of paper in the box that recorded troop placement to restart a game between lindsay and i…considering lindsay moved to rochester in 95…that’s a long time since last playing…

i wonder what lindsay is up to…

 

i was woken up by fighter jets screaming passed the house. scariest thing ever. i was expecting a loud explosion or crashing noise. then i remembered there’s the air show here this weekend. oh joy…..

hahaha i got an email from “Mr Longshlong” roflmao that’s fabulous.

i really have nothing to say. sunday night dealing i got paid to watch the olympics in high limit. yesterday was uneventful. dealt for 45 minutes tonight before getting suited, and got to leave early afterall so i can’t complain. brendan talked to me way too much, and touched me and i wanted to throw up. tomorrow is movie night, thursday is PR meeting, and dunno what else.

the tea party album has grown on me. it’s not horrible. but it’s still not a tea party record. “wishing you would stay” is definitely my favourite off the album, but none of the songs have shot to the “fav ever tea songs” list…oh well. looking forward to seeing them live again though…whenever they come around here. i might even go to arizonas again, despite vowing never to go there again each time they play there. current friends who weren’t around during the last tour need to attend as well, because i think they will enjoy it muchly.

found out that this guy (old man) who i (apparently) turned down for a date (i don’t remember him really, and i definitely don’t remember him asking me out) is really filthy rich. i think that prompted a dream i had the other day about donald trump, he had some sort of interest in me (not necessarily romantic), and everyone was like, ew he’s gross, and i was like he’s donald fucking trump!! who cares!! lol. also had 2 dreams about vegas/gambling, i’m excited for the trip. and dreamed about nate, but i’m not going to get into that.

i’ve been sleeping til 3 ish cuz i have nothing better to do. have to take dry cleaning in tomorrow, and get my car washed cuz there’s icky polution on the window and i can barely see out of it if there is any moisture on the window at all (it makes big spots), and cash in my rebate check, and….i dunno what else in the after noon. maybe buy some groceries, we don’t have any food. incase james gets inspired to cook  having food usually helps

i just ordered the minolta z3. we’ll see how this goes.

and in the spirit of spending loads of money. vegas is booked for october 18-22. we take the red eye out of vegas on the 21, arrive home early 22. nevada test site tour is on the 20th (i think, i gotta check again), and hopefully we can get tickets to the queen musical at paris “we will rock you”. tony might join us (me and lei) for a few days, sleep on the floor of our room. we’re staying at the tropicana. old vegas!! should be fun!

off to work

so yeah. ziggy was put to sleep today. i guess she sorta went insane lately. she had been sick, something wrong with her throat, but the vet ignored that. went through antibiotics and got a bit better, but then she went nuts. just acting weird, and refusing to come up to the house if she was outside, not eating blahblahblah. so i guess my mom decided to put her down. mom said she didn’t think she even liked the cat, but was shaking and cried when they did it. RIP ziggy stardust

anyone know how to make a baby rattle? trying to make a gift for jenn’s baby, i got a clear ball to fill with the stuff i want to put in it, but i don’t know what kind of handle to put on it, or how to do it. they should just sell kits. you’d think it’d be a common enough idea that they’d have a kit for it.

i finished “invisible monsters” and it’s still my favourite chucky p book. i tried to start re-reading “choke” last night and i could hardly get through the first 2 chapters. it’s just so not good. at least chucky p redeemed himself with lullaby and diary. but i went to the book store today and got 4 new books. one is a fannie flagg book, that hopefully is as good and funny as daisy may, and fried green tomatoes. a few others by unknown authors…well the one guy is the guy who wrote high fidelity and about a boy. it’s called “how to be good”. i didn’t want to get high fidelity since i still haven’t decided if i like the movie or not.

unfortunately my pictures of the rappelling did not turn out. i knew they wouldn’t because it was too dark and they wouldn’t let me use flash, so the long exposures just made them turn out all blurry. oh well. we’ll see it on tv next year.
