you're no rock'n'roll fun...BUT I AM!

Yesterday on our lunchbreak, sean and jeffrey and i stopped by this store called 'rugged warehouse'. And by "rugged wearhouse" they mean "some dirt cheap shirts with big rips in them displayed and sold in a largely-gutted building with overhead flourscent lighting". But they did have some cool things. and really inexpensive sneakers. And these things i shouldn't have bought but i did. It's a wristband with fake fur on it. yep. bought one. it's awesome.

And then on the way back, we listened to sleater-kinney and made a list of people who we think are or aren't rock'n'roll fun.

email me to see if you're on it. [email protected]

Then sean said something like 'yay us! we're so young and hip'. ( i think he was making fun of us, but quite frankly, we are....young and hip that is) You should model your life after us.

I also had to buy a washer and dryer for the shop yesterday, and with a hose and cord and the delievery fee, the total was 666.86. no lie. don't look at the cents.

DEVIL WASHER

i think we should paint them black. Jeffrey thinks we should just call the soft goods area of the shop 'hell', so when we really, in earnest tell Aaron to go to hell, he can't get so offended.

So the one bad thing about the delivery is that i had to be here by 7 am. was i? nope. 7:23 if you really must know. i didn't even properly dress myself. i threw on enough clothes so i wouldn't get arrested, shoved the rest in my bag and drove out here to work. The delivery guys showed up at 8 am. Not too bad really. and they were really nice. Niceness counts. it really does.

And now today, i needs to buy a refridgerator. We're blowing through our tool budget for this year, so they won't take it away next year.

This week, i am pretty much working by myself and going to finish my zine, or so i aspire to. Have to get it out by july 4. promise. And then, my friends, i go on vacation. nothing fancy....just a week up in philly. seeing old friends, hanging out with the mom. Climbing tress and rolling down the hill in my back yard. And then i'm back here for a week, and i'm going to be a tourist in my own city, and PAINT.

Know how long it's been since i've painted anything? Let's just say it's been a while. And no, that isn't a euphanism for sex. i have been working on a whole series of giraffe paintings, and i just stopped. the whole river of creativity thing just stopped flowing. Sad? Oh- you betcha.

NEW FEATURE:

To shame myself into being a better musician, i am going to include a bass update. Here's some info for you:

Bought a bass in february (march? i don't remember) finally bought an amp in may. Picked out mary had a little lamb for my friend over the phone. she was so very very proud of me. Thank you. Put an ad in the city paper, looking for a bass teacher, but all i've gotten were calls from people looking for a bass player. sure pal, i'll play with you. as long as you're cool with nursery rhymes.

This week, i am teaching myself tablature, which on a bass, is totally easy, and i'm going to go up to atomic music in college park, and i'm gonna see if the guy there knows someone who teaches. i think he himself plays bass. maybe he can help me who knows.

And if i don't, i give you all permission to come on over and personally kick my ass.

xoxo
