found safety in this loneliness

ever since i got home from work
the day has been totally crappy

i have a lovely date with ms. helen
tomorrow night, so life will be good

but to help make me feel better right now,
here are some pictures from the other night.
(none of brian, but i did get a glorious video)








oh & black friday was alright.
no laptops at 5am at the store
it was just like a busy saturday

always feel this tall

[Now Watching] Nancy Grace (she is nuts, such a riot to watch)

today was a full day. quite busy but at the same time, not at all.

i had work this morning. had to be at the store at the bright & early time of 8am. it wasn't swamped, but it wasn't dead. so i was keeping busy & the day actually flew by pretty quickly.

i was supposed to go to my cousin's first birthday party, but i had to babysit tonight since i went to the city last night. kind of bummed, but i stop by there all the time. plus she just turned one. she has no idea i wasn't there.

babysitting was good too. they watched star wars. i napped. i know it is hard work but someone has to do it.

when i came home, i finally ordered my tickets to manchester & kevin for the december shows in philly and hoboken. i was worried that they were going to sell out, thankfully that was not true.

& i also felt good about myself today all day today (even when i expected not to). that is a plus as well.



oh and last night was fucking phenomenal (more pics here)

(kevin was entirely electric & let me see that i'm going to love the new record)


(saves was so good. i'm sad i waited this long to finally see them live)

the night ended with a perez hilton sighting & baked goods.
sometimes life isn't as bad as it normally turns out to be

Flaming Tantrum of Blogging

[Now Playing] The Jealous Girlfriends - Secret Identity (Daytrotter Session)

dinner yesterday was good
- cause jack daniels chicken never disappoints
hana's birthday party was splendid
- except that my feet are covered in bug bites


today i really didn't do much. i find that i am trying to not fill the days that i have off with too much. in a month and a half i am going to be so overbooked that i am going to praise every religous being when there is a day that i can sleep in or go to bed early.

but i did go into the city to see ms. laurie notaro. i was planning on going in really early and walking around. but it was warm & i am lazy. so i took a late train with all the people going to see billy joel at shea (which resulted in a free ride. thanks mta!) i went much later than i thought i was going to go, but i got to the b&n nice & early. i walked around the store a bit. i felt so lost in there - it is i believe 5 floors. even the music dept confused me. i did some little maintence every now and again until my mind reminded me that i don't work at that b&n.

at a little after 7:30 the reading started. she is insanely funny. i hope she writes another book soon so she can come back and i can listen to her talk some more.




tomorrow i get to sleep late b/c i am working 4 to close. maybe i'll catch up on all the laurie notaro books that i haven't read so i can read the new one.
