outdoor concert sunburn

two outdoor concerts, gravel and sandals. left shoulder more sunburned than the right. now i've seen of montreal four times. aside from sunlandic songs, why did they have to play "old people in the cemetary" and a gnarls barkley cover? why not "doing nothing" and a good cover? but i shouldn't complain, it was for free and with good company. tonight: ambitious plans to cook the baby eggplants and compare lives with tasha while packing for the west. i wish i were going for longer. 69 love songs has been in the bathroom boombox for a while. two out of three cds have gone missing, though. new roommate moving in soon, new pots and pans. at work found out today we're hiring an additional editor for our list, which seems like pretty good news because the dynamic of a two-person (just me + boss) department has been weird. i went to a funeral a few weeks ago, first burial service i'd ever seen. how you push the first mounds of dirt with the back of the shovel to show it's something you don't want to do. a hillock of fried potatoes. chris read that in a fantasy book when he was little and now when he makes fried potatoes he thinks "i am making a hillock of fried potatoes." i just found out that the nypl has a copy of all the issues of the floating bear (diane di prima's mimeographed lit mag from the olden times) and i'm pretty excited about that, maybe i'll go tomorrow. it's reference, though. i think that means xeroxing. i never really learned research skills. okay, bye!

in case you didn't know...

cleveland is really cool. best 48 hours ever.

my beach day

is half ruined by laziness and sweatiness. i'm off to clevo in a bit for a huge party and super fun hang out at punk rock flea market. i have to catch a plane but i don't know who will pick me up from the airport.

i spent the better part of this week in rockport at the beach with maybe one of the cutest two year olds on he planet.

see ya.

vacation time soon

in a few weeks i'm going to: portland and san francisco and los angeles.

cool!

if anyone has a really great place to go or thing to do near one of these cities, tell me. and if anyone lives in one of these cities, TELL ME.

tomorrow we're painting the kitchen yellow.

i'm still alive!

vital signs:

-ipod definitely broken
-sad and headphoneless, but
-happier than i was yesterday
-sandals are finally worn in
-yep, what jacqueline said, about the sweat
-actually, though, i just got an airconditioner and it's pretty awesome
-running late, ahhh!

okay bye
