I want to be Method Man's baby daddy.

And he'd probably kick my ass for saying that. But homophobia's hot.

I haven't updated in virtually forever in the LJ world (more than three days). Though I've been reading up on the Friends page, I just haven't felt the spirit move me to write. Even when MelRo came home and mentioned that I could dial-up while she eats dinner, I felt nary a spark. Maybe I'm LJ depressed. Cause I'm not depressed in any other areas.

Brief rundown:
Friday: Hung out on the couch in the early evening. Visited with greyandred later who is fabulous and I'm sorry I can't hang out with her more -- though she unfortunately had a bad CTA experience, partly because I think I directed her to the wrong platform, or because it stops running earlier than I thought. Luckily she made it back ok, with or without my assistance!
Saturday: Ran some errands, including going to the autocare facility and Wendy's and the record store. Then went to the LCCP ball in the evening. I was happy to have Riley and MelRo along, and parts of the event were snazzy, but I was pretty disappointed by the gig aspect of the evening. So the DJ experience I rate 3.5 out of 10. The non-DJ experience I rate 8.5 out of 10.
Sunday: I don't remember. Oh wait....I went to Lisa's and worked all afternoon on the banner. Then met up with her husband and Damon for pizza and watching Memento on DVD. I came home and washed dishes and cleaned up a lot of the kitchen. At some point in the evening I had some sort of emotional meltdown, but that's not too exciting.
Monday: Laid low in the morning, watching some TV. Hooked up with Damon after lunch and we walked around the neighborhood, including running some non-errand errands. Found some fabulous wine at the newly renovated local beverage depot. Now I'm watching the Daria movie on MTV.

I hate that my emotional default settings are either swallow and ignore, or get overwhelmed and irrational. But I have improved, and will hopefully keep progressing. Part of draw towards meditation.

Tonight I'm going to work on my non-Oprah non-New-Years-Resolution change-your-life plan. And maybe have a Spotted Cow beer.

The sad thing is, you didn't misdirect me! There were native Chicagoans waiting there, too-- and the schedule said it was running and everything. They were confused too! :-) And this sleazy guy offered me a ride. First he offered to share a cab, then said he was calling his sister and I could have a ride with them, if I was comfortable with that. I said, don't take this personally, but no way. My mommy taught me never to get into cars with strange men I meet on train platforms in strange cities in the middle of the night! :-) But it all worked out in the end. I hope you and MelRo make it to the Burgh soon so we can chill again!

If 3 days is virtually forever, then I must be located somewhere in the chaos of infinity...are you going to TS? I want an introduction to some music, cause it's hard to know what to listen to and I like all types, sometimes you just need direction, ya know? I should really get to the used place down the block more often, since I like listening before I buy, and without ethernet or napster anymore, that's hard.

yeah, three days is nothing for folks who post once or twice a week. but since i typically post once or twice a day, it's all relative.

I won't be at TS, unfortunately, cause I'd really like to meet in person all these LJ guys.

I think mixtapes are a great way to get introduced to new music. I trade them with good friends of mine all the time -- usually we'll give each other some ideas, like bands we've wanted to get into, or specific songs from the radio, then we'll add in some other stuff to share. I'm certainly willing to make you a tape, though I'm not sure of the timeline -- I'm really behind on mailing stuff out! But hopefully I'll be caught up soon. Maybe in the next week of soon.

I was actually thinking of you this morning as I was putting on my shoes and noticing the copy of Infinite Jest on the bookshelf. Hmmm. Definitely biting off more than I can chew these days!

I knew IJ wouldn't get out of the gate, I've been trying for so long though...someday, I guess. I'll have to see how my semester schedule goes. I have a feeling TS will be like meeting famous people or something (I'll probably be afraid to invade any previously solidified LJ cliques for fear of rejection, though). And I hope DC remains intact during president's day weekend! Mixtapes sounds like a great idea...if only we didn't procrastin8!
