shyness is nice
been a while... like i care.
on last saturday i went to see the decemberists. the decemberists were good, played a bunch of songs and then left for encore. when they came out for the encore they treated me to something i haven't seen since when jude and i went to see acoustic junction at the wetlands and they went all acoustic at the end of the night ("the wind" was pretty special in that context). so yeah, decemberists said "fuck the PA" and played acoustic the rest of the night. first off was a touching colin solo "red right ankle" then they played some other songs, including everyone's favorite song about how your mom services sailors at night to earn enough money to feed you. that song included a man walking around in a big bushy fake beard playing the bass drum through the audience.
They played close to 6 songs in this acoustic setting, closing with a way slowed up cover of the smith's "ask" which was way better than the original and this really nice, calm full audience singalong. it was rad.
there was this chick standing next to me and i saw her get hit on, while the main band was playing, twice. it was weird, guys just came up to her and were like "how are you doing?" "can i buy you a drink?" I didn't know that actually happened.
oh. my. god. i MAY have just seen adam brody in the clips for next week's celebrity poker showdown. now, i'm not entirely sure, but if it was him, i think that i will have to take the day, or week, off. ohmygod that would be the best thing in the universe.
ps. the north shore? it's no the oc. not even close.
monday night i met katie at tequila rain because there was some free smirnoff event. i drank a lot of vodka drinks that were unfortunately all containing more sugar than kool-aid and i think that was the key reason i was miserable on tuesday at work.
last night, last night being wendesday, i hung out with tony and jonathan. by the end of the night, tony and i had started waxing intelluctual and we spent a good portion of time discussing how we should come up with an entirely new way of approaching certain subjects, like instead of approaching psychology with a mathematics perspective, approaching mathematics with a psychology background. How we intend this to work we aren't quite sure, but during all of our discussion, we did discover how exponents work and by god, it was weird.
hahah awesome, the older brother from malcolm in the middle just went all in on a 2-7. god bless him. he's going to lose unfortunately, but it's still highly respectable.
oh yeah, so after the decemberists show on saturday night i'm walking home, right, and suddenly, all the lights on the street just go off. the entire block and then some was pitch black. so i navigated a bit by candlelight, then i sat down, and did the only thing i could do and write. i ended up writing 15-20 pieces of quadruple size post-its, and it's your typical bullshit that you can expect to be written at 1am, alone, by candlelight. i haven't reread it but i'm pretty sure i have a good concept of what it contains.
ps you should see my coffee table type thing right now.... absolutely covered with comic books. last week or so i had organized it so the comics only took up 1/3 of the table, but since then i've spent approximately $150 on comics and it's just a goddam mess.
my birthday coincides with free comic book day, and i guess that rocks. since i have no one to hang out with at least i can go to the comics shop and get shit like teen titans go! for free. actually, jonathan brought up my birthday when we went to foxwoods sunday (yeah, i went to foxwoods sunday), which a.) surprised me since i don't recall telling him ever it was my birthday and b.) was the first time anyone (including me i feel like) recognized my birthday since last year.
I'm predicting big things. Let's count off my birthdays going back through time.
07/03/00 i'm not sure exactly, but i'm pretty sure this was the day that jude presented me with a burger king big kids meal chicken run toy. i'm sure we saw a movie to commerate the date.
july 3 2001. this was the year of my 20th birthday. it was celebrated by celebrating lori's premiere episode of the real world. i may have felt a little eclipsed.
july 3 2002. 21. well, this had to rock. first went out with katie and oly and mike and that crew and then the next night was a party at 3 sutherland at sean and john's with all of my, at the time, senior peeps.
july 3, 2003. nobody remembered it was my birthday, whoops. makeshift dinner at sunset cantina followed by about 2 beers at cityside before i think i may have left my obviously not into it friends and meet tony but i'm not sure.
july 3, 2004: i already know jonathan is gone for the third, but i think we're going out the 2nd. katie's gone by then. it's looking like a historically unspectacular birthday. kickass.
it's not like i want to be 23. when people ask me my age i still, desperately, want to say 21. getting older is lame when you've got nothing to show for it like i do.
ok, guess i'll go to bed now.
