Gnaaaah. I just got home--flew in at 8pm, and Vortex picked me up and we had dinner. I have another flight at 9AM. But I don't WANNA do all the things I need to (like pay some bills, pack, figure out where exactly I need to go once I get there, etc etc). And yet, "getting up early" is not only something I never manage to do, but also a bad plan because I expect I'll be up late, tomorrow night. ARGH. But I have no energy right now.

Harumph.

(anyone else just relieved that its not LIVE NUDE KISSINGER?)

How about if it were LIVE NUDE KISSINGER with "Girl Wonder" painted on his chest?

I'm very excited for Plei even though the link hasn't quite opened for me yet!

Hec, I'm so sorry about the ARCG. So sad.

Meanwhile, I've just heard that my neighbor from across the street was killed in a traffic accident this morning. I've lived here for about 10 years and they've lived there the entire time. They have a cute house, several young(ish) kids, a lovely Kerry Blue Terrier - I've never met them but my friend who lives kitty-corner from me has. It's just shocking.

Oh, sumi. That's awful.

Honey, why are you coming home in a situation like that? I totally get the homing urge, but wouldn't it be a lot easier to just go from one site to the other? Anyway, rest-ma to you.

ooooOOOOOOOoooooo!!!!

That reminds me! My copies of the Venture Brothers and Robot Chicken have arrived at the post office. It's very exciting. And, the Comedy Channel in Australia is about to start showing The Daily Show each week Monday to Thursday!

So, I don't know how it'll work out for you, but I'm having a pretty happy Steph Day.

Hec, I'm so sorry about your crush girl.

Thanks. It was weird. I saw the little table, with a book for people to leave comments and a bowl filled with water and flowers floating on top. And then I looked in the picture book and it was an, "Oh shit!" moment.

She was in charge of the 45s /singles. She wore little indie rock cardigans and Mary Janes and big black framed glasses when she wore glasses. She was very pretty with a dyed-black, side-parted, very Mod bob. But she was a bit darker than most Mods. I'd see her smoking in front of the store, talking with coworkers, and at some shows occasionally. Just the usual intersections you notice with record store and book store clerks you know around the city if you lead the kind of life I lead.

She couldn't have been more than 25.

so sorry david

and to sumi.

It makes me glad that my big complaint for the day is that my hommade milkshake was warm 10 minutes after I srtarted drinking it. Really wanting the house to cool down now

Ooh, Amoeba Crush girls and neighbors, how terrible both!

It would, except I'm leaving on vacation, and using frequent flier tickets. It would also be MUCH easier to pack if I were working! But instead, I'm going to Toronto for Pride, and want to pack EVERYTHING! And, obviously, not a good plan.

Oh, hell. Hec, I know exactly who you're talking about. Also, my mom just told me that their renters were in a serious car accident, and one of them didn't make it. He was the brother of a high-school friend.

shakes fist at universe

Ah, I see. Well, rest-ma anyway. And Toronto! So exciting!

Oh, David. When I first started reading your post, and about the shrine, I totally took it as 'yay, they see how cool she is too and made a shrine' and then I realized what you really meant, and it was like an extra blow to go from one to the other. I'm sorry for you and for all she touched.
