Day: November 26, 2005

  • Hey, kids. 
    Although.. er, many of you are older than me. 
    That's okay.


    First off, happy belated Day 'O' Giving of Thanks.  (also belated Prjt. Turkeyboy anniversary!  :D )
    Now, did you really give thanks or did you just chew the soul out of that turkey?  Well, besides my very casual appreciation of all things groovy in my life, my Turkey Day/Gobble Gobble Day/Thanksgiving was fine. Went down to San Jose for the afternoon, in which very clever Joeve wandered to my doorstep.  So fun!  Then by eight-ish I got back to Elk Grove and, er, slept the rest of the night until the following morning.  Great, huh?


    THEN, yesterday was the infamous Day After Thanksgiving.. a.k.a. SALE DAY!!!  Post-Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year (The Today Show told me so), in which people of all shapes and sizes hit the stores like lives depended on it.  I was no exclusion.  I went to Arden Mall after a rigorous nap (god damn those naps), and after going around to all of the stores for two and a half hours, I walked out with--wait for it, wait for it--the fruitful prize of LEMONADE AND A PRE-MOISTENED TOWELETTE! (ta-dah!)  Intense, isn't it?


    And is it just me or did Santa get gothic?  He was wearing black the other day.  Maybe it is just me, but I'm pretty sure Mr. Stomach 'o' Jelly "Ho Ho Ho" Christmas Toys Man wore red, right?  Maybe it's Arden Mall tradition, but I found it funky.


    I found out something that I want for Christmas: A giant stuffed pig.  Job requirements: must be plushy and immensely huggable.  =D


    Today, I bought the album "Gee Baby" by Coles Whalen, a folk rock singer with the sound of Lori McKenna with hints of the likes of Vienna Teng and Corrinne May, drawing from Blues and Jazz, and I've been listening to her album obsessively since.  I'll be catching her perform live at Border's, Elk Grove tomorrow.  That should be a lot of fun; totally looking forward to it.


    On a negative note, I've suddenly been injected with a burst of internal misfortune.  The familiar bitter feeling of hate flowing through my veins, of insincerity and doubt.  It sucks, but I'll get over it.


    Today's lesson: Insecurities, imperfections, and frustrations are common in the lot of us.  We all simply handle it differently--embrace it, fear it, or understand that there's something else in life far more important than it.  Like life.  Like love.


    you think we're crazy?  why, because we're not like you?


    Bye for now.
