Wouldn't it be nice if we were older, and we wouldn't have to wait so long.

I just got off the phone with dommeyourass who was rather cranky with me, in part because I accused her of stealing my lighter this morning and also because it's hot and she's overdressed. Maybe too because her interview isn't for another five hours. But the important thing is that she arrived safely, right? Besides, when I left the message it was 5:50 am in the morning after getting up at 4:30 am to drive her to the airport and I was jonesing for a smoke, so we all have our own Crankypants story.

This morning in the shower I was thinking about her being out of town, only for all of about 24 hours or so, though next week she'll be gone for about five days. I have this weird mix of feeling where on one hand I think "Freedom! Lots of time alone or with friends doing whatever I want like playing video games or watching scary movies or stretching out in bed alone or whatever else I want" while the other half feels sad and mopey and considers sleeping at her house tonight even though she won't be there. Instead, I compromise by putting on her cologne over my own so I sort of smell like her, except instead of my neck I put it on my beard, and for those who don't know this particular grooming fact, perfumes and colognes last longer on hair than skin, so it's a little...strong. Yeah, I'm a sad sap. Insert chorus of Dusty Springfield's "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" should you feel compelled to make fun of me.

I had crazy dreams this morning that were all super vivid. Everything from attending a porn shoot, to overhearing criminal plans by former roommates in the shower, to being chased through campus, to watching an amazing music video made by the director of 28 Days Later, to having sex with Lowenstein, to trying to find parking in a strange neighborhood.

Last night before bed we watched a VH1 special on Anna Nicole Smith. I'm pretty much speechless except to say that it was fanfckingtabulous.

My day went from crazy busy to somewhat quiet. My interview was moved to Monday, therapy was moved to next week, and my boss is out of the office.

This post made me think of Liz Phair - "and it's true that I stole your lighter. And it's also true that I lost the map. . ."

My mailing campaign has begun. The first installment should arrive Tuesday at Egor's. I gave instructions for delivery on the label. There will also be a box labeled "For Ray", which is for you and you should open it.

For Ray

Why am I simultaneously excited and scared of this box?!

Also, I just made a rental reservation for a moving truck Aug 22-23. Sorry we can't share the truck, but it just worked better for my schedule to get it done on Friday and Saturday, then have Sunday available for leftovers and unpacking or whatever. Also on the sad moving front: I've done nothing regarding the two beds in your room, partly because no one I know needs a bed and I wasn't sure how to even tackle the loft bed since it must be taken apart to removed from the room which is hard with all the other stuff in the room. The good news is that I will donate my socket wrench services after I'm done moving to help you take it apart.

There are two options: a nice comfy twin bed (how sexy!) and a full-size loft bed. The loft bed doesn't come with a mattress, though I might be getting rid of my full-size bed soon so I could make it part of the package.

Maybe you can come by and check them out at some point.

yeah i went over to pick up the final installment of my 'break-up' pick-up and that anna nicole thing was on and we ended up sitting down, smoking and enjoying the show. you are correct that there is not much that one can say but fanfckingtabulous. and the funniest part is that her family members are very very similar to my biological family members on my mother's side. i felt like i knew them already.

two things:
do you know that i LOVE the beach boys? and in my fantasy wedding someone would do an elaborate drag act to that song. "and we could be marrieeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!!!!!!!!!!"

and also I was about to go buy a twin bed, so if you're selling one better that than strangers.

Now I won't have to go shopping for your wedding this weekend! I'll just put a big red bow on the bed. Just kidding.

It's all yours, for the low price of $20 plus coming to extract it from my apartment. It's mattress, box spring, frame, and very comfortable. I think it might be Sealy brand or something. Call me today at work or this weekend and we can arrange a time to pass it off....maybe even pairing it with brunch? Depending on how busy we are, I suppose.
