10:40 a.m. swimmin pools, movie stars 2003-04-13
Reaped got those dried up not quite hungover but awake & dehydrated blues.

viva la weekend. viva stolyi vanil & club soda with maraschino cherries. viva lingerie models & thumping house music vibrating our over-priced drinks & me the only person without gel in my hair.

viva getting out of being designated driver.

a friend of a friend is opening a bar down the street. an everyday occurence here in the crescent city. viva knowing the bartender.

and summer plans: radiohead, beck, the beastie boys, the roots & fifty million other qawesome bands are converging for a 2 day festival in new york this june. we. are. there. in the lottery. i will see radiohead before i die.

(warning...bleak childhood memory ahead)

back in the day i had a chance to see radiohead open for REM, when they were on their Monster tour. but my mother, harpy control freak she is, god bless her, took MY birthday money with which i was going to buy the ticket, and used it to pay the electric bill. she blamed my father, who had sent me the money. in retrospect, i would probably do the same thing in that situation, since electricity is a little more necessary for the family than a teenager's lust for pop music. to my seventeen year old brain, it was the latest & greatest insult to my existence. my friends went, tamela & sharon & amy. said it was one of those life changing experiences that can only happen in the nose bleed section, best viewed with a shared pair of binoculars.

hmph. shows how old i'm getting. this happened back when you could take binoculars to a stadium seating event & not get strip searched.

so anyway, it took a considerable chunk of my senior year of high school to get over that episode. though experimenting with drugs & alcohol helped.

needless to say, i'm stoked. we're gonna do a road trip, stay over in nyc a day or so, and maybe pass through Baltimore, since mike knows people there.

and to tie up other loose ends, joanie & chachi kissed & made up. apparently they did break up for 2 weeks, or as joanie put it, 'all the time i was playing pharoah on my computer'. it's good. they're 5 year anniversary is next week. though i guess now it's more like 1 week anniversary. whatever. we don't even have an anniversary date.

sometime last night i started talking shit about crab & moving out & stuff. m+m seemed pretty supportive regardless. but i like my little shotgun. so we'll see. how crab is to pay rent without a job or student finacial support this summer remains to be seen. this makes me cringe.

but that's ok. a couple of the houses in our community are having a barbecue by the pool today. i'm making potato salad. some other guy's doing strawberry pie. radiohead. beasties. swimmin' pools. road trips. mmm-hmmm.

crab's up now. gotta go.
