forgot. one of the writers from scrubs was in front of me on the plane from vegas yesterday, at first i was like “oh, great industry people talking about hiatus, etc, what crap” when i realized they worked on scrubs i was all over that. not great gossip or anything, just interesting tidbits. i should have said, hey i watch 3 shows regularly and scrubs is 1 of those 3!! maybe i could have gotten the hook up with a scrubs t shirt or hat! or not.

the flights were good, both times i had an empty seat next to me. mark picked me up and we chilled until michele got home from work, giving me the full tour of the amazing apartment. the cats are crazy, i have already picked my favorite (shady, yes…) we headed to le petit four on sunset for dinner. good dinner, rented some movies, mark went to his friend’s house for the weekend and michele and i just chilled. by 12 i was beyond tired. slept til 8:30, feeling pretty good today. michele headed to work a bit ago, i’m going to go meet her in bev. hills and i might head to the library today, i am a total dork. tonight we’ll go to a med. resturant at the grove where they have flaming feta cheese, so good. cheese on fire is always good i guess…..
i am trying really hard to take photos while i am here, i always forget b/c i suck….
i rarely think about reading my horoscope, but i did for some reason today, i realized how lame it was but would post it anyway: “you’re missing someone. though you try to distract yourself with other things, your thoughts run to embrace the one you love. let this person know.”
hm. i think that might be meant for someone else, not me. i don’t miss any of y’all on the east coast. that’s a joke. it’s funny to me b/c i am feeling good about being away for a while, but the one time i read my horoscope it seems to say to me that i should be ok with thinking about home and while i am here, my thoughts and concerns should be elsewhere… whatever. officially junk.
so, coachella now had a scheduler to help you prioritize your experience. granted it is always hard when you go to coachella to do the whole scheduling thing, but this just tops someone’s notecard that they made (hmm….m, know what i am saying?). it looks like most of the bands i would have wanted to see this year are playing around the same times, how does that work?
i am a bit sad we aren’t going this year, it was like a tradition, but the money is just too much this year…. what will i miss the most? probably the pool at the hotel in palm springs…. oh yeah, and seeing loads of bands!
EDIT: i just did the scheduler like i was going to the show, first off, i didn’t rank that many bands at the highest ranking, therefore i feel good about not going, i guess.
second, it’s not even like it gives you a printable form, it just gives you back what you put in, looking exactly the same with your highest rankings in boxes, um, ok. guess the technology just isn’t there folks…
(the title is due to the fact that i have been listening to a combination of ted leo and the replacements. they both make me feel alive and good. no more (sort of obvious) sad bastard music for the moment. )
so the semester is really finally over for me now. work is done, school is done. sigh o relief.
(oh, one thing to note, here’s a good sum up of what i learned this semester or what i wrote in my notebook yesterday after one my classes: “note to self: get a job as a bouncer”. look, librarians need people skills and that’s one way of getting them…..) i am trying to not freak out that one of my fall classes was cancelled and i need to find a replacement from the (not so good at all) list. urgh.
i am prepping for LA now. i picked up my suitcase from the storage unit. check. doing laundry. check. found sunscreen i bought last week. check. get my haircut tomorrow.
i am psyched to get out of town and not feel like i have anything important to be worrying about while i am gone. it’s crazy, i come back and then it’s back to work for the field placement and also back at my internship. short but sweet i guess. i am psyched to see m, she was in town in feb. but only for a short period so it’ll be rad to hang out and go to the beach and to the short stop and photobooth it up.
anyway, must at least attempt to sort of pack a bit. my suitcase is still in p5s trunk, so there won’t be real packing, just preliminary packing….
oh, the twilight show in dc is the day before the stills show in dc, y’all know i am peeing my pants over that back to back show experience…. le sigh.
i leave you with one particular thought i have had repeatedly lately, i’m not that angry, you’re just not that cool (thanks stills, my sentiments exactly).
it’s me, it’s me.
and i got a 95% on my digital library. woo hoo.
i am one demo away from being done with school for the semester. take that. i have a demo in about an hour of the digital library, presentation is done. i will feel so much better after the demo is done, urgh. tomorrow i work and then i get ready for LA. it’s raining and depressing at present, i hope LA will not be rainy.
have i not done the weekend update yet??? jeez louise, i am lame.
friday was snb (and homework earlier in the day), minus one of our regulars, we did have some new people stop by. some didn’t knit in public, but they decided to stop by anyway…. went to red star after and chatted with the kids. stayed out late, regretting it all the way home. i hate staying till the end- then all the crazies are on the roads and it freaks me the f out. if i am staying out i prefer to go to a 24/7 establishment before i head home so i am not driving at 2:02 AM. no more of that. hmm… what else. oh, i picked up some stuff at st. v de p and ufo, books for altering and square dancing skirt for , um, something. you know, like a crazy looking petticoat, yeah. pink!!
did some more work to the digital library and then headed over to natasha’s for a bit. we had pizza and she spun and half heartedly knit a scarf that i had frogged earlier in the day. i needed icons for the digital library and couldn’t get illustrator free trial to load, a friend helped me out and i went over some stuff with him before i got home. they worked out well, i owe him.
sunday i had to meet my group at the cathedral taking much longer than i would have liked, at one point i was nearly laying on the floor out of frustration with the software, i couldn’t get what i wanted to to work, so i just cut it out in the end, i guess no functionality is better than not working functionality, right? let’s hope my prof. agrees, cross your fingers on that one.
still don’t know about sheep and wool, i am spending $ like water as i want to go to that symposium in md and that costs money, i didn’t plan on buying anything at snw, but alas, i guess i just feel bad.
finally, i got the wicker park soundtrack from the library, i know, strange that i would wnat that right, well, check out the list of songs, it’s bizarre. unreleased stills song (IN FRENCH sucka), all good.
ok, i am off like a dirty shirt.
check out the newly updated my my. how cute are the crafty patches like the periodic table???? plus they make the best buttons including i heart pa and i heart photobooths, which i do…
a bit more than i was thinking of, but i guess this solves the moral/ethical dilemma…

i got home tonight to find a package from my old work, strange i thought. i open it and it’s a gift from one of my former scholars.
this was inside with a note of thanks. i couldn’t believe that eventhough i haven’t been there since last aug, someone still thought of me. strange indeed. btw, the camel makes some sort of bizarre song noise extravaganza. i may have to photo gilbert’s reaction…..
i signed up for the mix cd swap at swap-bot, seems like it should be fun, y’all know i love a good mix cd (so feel free to make some for me, and send them to me….. or make a mix cd with me, remember that soviets?)
