"so hold out your hands..."

i have 'Raincoat' stuck in my head because i just referenced it in a tweet i just sent to Ryan. and now i'm in a good mood!

i'm at work right now. does it seem like i never leave work? yeah, i've been getting that feeling too. and it seems that when i'm not working, i'm sleeping. i feel like for the past week i haven't been doing anything except passing the time before i have to work again. it's kind of a bummer, but then i remember that i don't have any money anyways, so i technically couldn't go out and "do" anything. most things cost money. and i'm working a lot, which will earn money.

today i worked until 8am. now i am working 3:30pm until 6pm. and then working again at 9pm. in the time between 6pm and 9pm (really 8:45pm) i have plans to :

1. go to the grocery store
2. take a bath

i really don't have any food. or, i have food, just not anything that you can put together to make a meal. last night i made pizza eggs. with an english muffin. it was kind of like, "well, you have eggs. and you have pizza sauce and cheese."

voila! pizza eggs!! it was kind of delicious. and this morning i again had eggs with toast. because that's kind of the only substantial thing i have.

so! i will go to the grocery store tonight. although, it's kind of one of those times when you go to the store and it's like, "what do i get that will be delicious, will last a while, and won't get boring?" it feels like i'm starting from scratch. because, for a while, i was trying to eat everything in the house so to use up what i had. but then like two days ago it got to the point where, i no longer had anything in the house.

SO. grocery store trip. i also need coffee. coconut coffee. i might also buy tofu.

last night was great. i watched SIX episodes of Bored to Death, the wonderful HBO show starring Jason Schwartzman. also Ted Danson and Zach Galifinackis. i totally just spelled his name however i wanted to. and i'm not going to look it up to see if it's right.

anyways - the show is terrific. really, really, so enjoyable. there were many times i laughed out loud. LOL'd as the kids would say. it makes me want to live in Brooklyn! it also makes me want to marry Jason Schwartzman. but, it doesn't take very much at all for me to want that. he's so lovely. and it just makes me so happy that him and Robert are brothers. and that they love making music together.

it also makes me happy that Coconut Records does the theme to Bored to Death. ooohhhhh Coconut Records. i have that sticker that i still have to put on my car. why do i keep forgetting?!

anyways, everyone should watch Bored to Death. i believe the first season is being released on DVD in September. and it was definitely picked up for season 2 because they're filming it right now! in Brooklyn!

so, i watch something like that and want to live in Brooklyn. i watched Valentine's Day and wanted to live in Los Angeles. i visit Boston and want to live there. so many places. so little money.

and it makes me ANNOYED that Crash Kings WILL BE IN MAINE this weekend and i won't be. and that the freaking tickets cost so much money. so lame. what person in Maine has $200 to spend on tickets, PLUS the cost of either camping or hotel?? LAME!

anyways, i'll see them on the 24th OF THIS MONTH! my mom is coming and she is soooo excited! Kara says she never stops talking about it. this makes me really happy. i can't wait either. i really hope Kara comes. and Jo! i really hope Jo is able to come. but if she doesn't, then it just means she's on a totally awesome roadtrip! which is still super fun.

hm. what else.

i watched a video this morning on how to do a 'blowout hairstyle' on yourself. yep. i did that. and it got me all excited that maybe i could actually figure out how to do it! but then after i was excited i was just disappointed because i've tried this many times and it never works. and i hate using a blow dryer. and i never brush my hair anyways, so i just get all confused.

remember when i linked to that Paper Tongues photo? that i can't stop looking at? of Jordan? my future boyfriend drummer? YEAH, well, since then, they have been posting pictures of all their new tattoos, and it's been great. yep. great. it sounded like someone from a local tattoo parlor came onto their bus and gave them all tattoos.

i was listening to my fave Paper Tongues song 'Get Higher' last night. ooohhhh i love it.

i love the ACOUSTIC VERSION. and i love the NORMAL VERSION. i love the lyric that goes, "the feeling of your skin, it's lovely."

i love how he says, 'lovely.' just like i love the lyric in the River City Extension song, 'Too Tired to Drink' that goes, "and i think the way that you laugh is just darling." i love how he says, 'darling!' i think it's so sweet.

there's another RCE lyric that i love because it's so sweet.

BUT, getting back to Paper Tongues real quick, i know i talk a lot about what the country will be like when i am president. and i believe i've mentioned before that i am going to change the national anthem to the Paper Tongues song, 'For the People.' and i just wanted to say, that i am probably still going to do that.

i think it would be so much more awesome. like, before every major event to just ROCK instead of just standing (or sitting, because it's not illegal) there.

and speaking of awesome countries....

HAPPY CANADA DAY! to one and all. half of my family lives in Canada and i am half Canadian. so, it's a celebration!

except, i'm not doing anything special. probably won't do anything special on the 4th either. except avoid fireworks at all costs. which is hard because last year they set them off from the mountain right behind my house. me and Ruby were kind of traumatized.

hmmm..... what else to tell you about?!

had to spray all the furniture last night with Lice killing spray. yep. definitely wasn't excited about that. makes your skin all creepy crawly. just like when we had the outbreak of bed bugs. i think that was worse, though. yeah, that was worse. i couldn't sleep during that time.

i didn't see any earwigs in the apartment yesterday, but killed 2 this morning. one was in Ruby Tuesday's water bowl! that made me really upset. she is afraid of them too.

basically the moral is that this house is an insect magnet. and i hate insects, so it's a rough time.

i wish i could think of that other River City Extension lyric that i love.

but, i've gotten a few very positive comments regarding Gogol Bordello, the headlining band that RCE is opening for at the Starland Ballroom in NJ on the 31st. so, i think i might really try and go. and also start listening to Gogol Bordello, because apparently everyone loves them!

last night during an episode of Bored to Death, they were talking about Russian literature and there was a reference to Gogol, which made me think of the band, which reminded me that i should start listening to them.

ANYWAYS - it's now time for me to leave. yay.

time to hit the grocery store! at probably the worst traffic time of the day! hooray! ah well.

hope everyone has a lovely night! talk to you all soon.
