my friends are all fired again. i made another fantabulous dinner tonight, and again, they all flaked. it was legitimate flakage (for the most part), but still. i want this to be good. at least ryan has no life either, so he's always there so i'm not totally alone. thanks ryan!

going backwards a bit now...

* today i finally got around to hanging up all my decorations and such. and, for reals, my room looks great. i'm quite pleased with the results. in fact, who cares if i have friends - i can just hang out in my rad times ten room alone and be happy. (really, my bitterness isn't that bad... it's just sort of fun to exaggerate i spose. i watched toy story 2 for the first time tonight, and it really is better than the first i think. i also whooped ryan in a scrabble game - as if anyone can beat the board game master. sheesh.

* on saturday, i did laundry and watched the football game (despite andreas' tauntings, i know my mom is proud of me). it was an exciting game... up until the end - overtime and all - which we won't talk about. at night, i ventured into westwood and attempted to see a movie, which didn't work. so we watched being john malcovich instead. malcovich, malcovich, malcovich. hehehe.

* after a long day of work friday, and a couple of fun percussion classes - i think i have finally almost got the segundo part on shekere! - i went to see mirah at a club called the smell in downtown. at first, we couldn't find the place and had to call and get directions in the end. we discovered that mirah wasn't playing until 11:30 (and it was only 10), so we went home and then back later. we missed the first band, but caught the end of the second group - shemo. for reals - that was their name - three uberdikes with shaved heads and flat mohawks and sad, sad faces and songs and everything. i wasn't too into their music, but they were awesome anyways, just because they were named shemo. hehehe. mirah was awesome. sadly, it was a pretty short set (or did it just seem that way?), but it was super hot, so it was also a relief to get out into the fresh air afterwards.

* on thursday, it finally happened - we saw a good movie (well, a movie i really liked) in my movie class. white oleander. good stuff. i even cried and everything. i'm all stoked to read the book now. but i have to finish ender's shadow first. my nifty tijuana half-a-hammock is hanging in my room now, which is perfect for reading in, so i should get there pretty quickly.

* on wednesday - i can't believe i'm actually able to remember so far back! - i saw bela fleck with robin and some her firends at ucla. i had dinner with kim and christine first, which was super nice, and the show was great too. it was my first time seeing them live, and i was pretty darn into it. except for futureman. his whole percussion-guitar thing was just no good. i want a drumset and real instruments, not electronic button-pushing. oh well.

* october is good so far. i'm getting pumped up for halloween already - i'm going to be jem, which is going to be sooooo incredibly outrageous (truly, truly, truly outrageous). and i'm going to carve a jack-o-lantern (at a scott-esque dinner party on a future sunday) and everything. i missed halloween last year while i was in ghana, so this year will have to be doubly good. which it will be. for sure.

** pssssst... if you're wondering where all the other words went, i moved them to a separate september page to save loading-up time, so go to the sidebar and check 'em out if you need to.**
