Small Victories
School has been stressful lately and all the planning I've put into these projects keeps falling through at the 11th hour. Add to that a backdrop of heartbreak and tragedy practically in my backyard, I've been relying on small things to pick me up.
*Met up with Melissa in Athens yesterday to spend the waning daylight celebrating my friend Danielle's birthday with Haley and Stephen. Watched her get her first tatoo and had some seriously great Carribean chicken and rice. Also, Meridith dropped in, which was ultra cool. I hadn't seen her since visiting Holland via Grand Valley about three years ago. Played guitar and told jokes and came down off the long weekend with a satisfied sigh. Quality time with my betrothed (who was looking quite the catch. We kissed a lot) and friends in one of my favorite cities was very good for the soul.
*John Vanderslice has asked his fans to name his current touring band for him. I emailed him some suggestions including John Vanderslice and..."The Iron Maidens," "The Slayers," "The Avoid Notes," "The Best Ever Death Metal Band Out Of Denton," and of course, "Sexual Chocolate." I got an email back from him today reading "these are really good!!!" So if JV and The McCoy Tyner Afterparty come rolling into your town, you've got me to thank.
*In a move which will likely prove my ultimate undoing, I participated in the "Post Your Phone Number!" thread on SG. This resulted in me being woken up at 6:30 Friday morning by none other than Benni Suicide. We wound up talking at a more reasonable hour Saturday night and she was pretty cool. We discussed people's perception of porn as it relates to SG, Iowa, and Mexican orange sherbert. I don't know either. Don't post your phone number online ppl, it'll all end in tears.
One. More. Week. Of school. Then I can again return to the ballbreaking task of finding part time employment. Joy.
