the new fugazi owns my cd player, now and forever

Now that I have calmed down to think about the situation, I've decided what I'm going to do: I'm going to get the Eurpean version of Shenmue II for Dreamcast. If I can't get it in English, I could definitely get it in Spanish and that would probably make the whole story a lot funnier...



Tonight I hung out with the other guys in the band, minus the drummer (who goes to school "moderately" far away), plus this kid named Joe. Since we're all single (except for Mike), we tried the old "go to a coffee shop to meet hot, smart girls". And, as always, it failed miserably. I don't know where they got this idea, but it spelled disasater from the start. Heh. What was especially funny is that we all ordered hot chocolate (rasberry for me, thank you very much older sister!) because we don't like coffee. And hanging out in a coffee shop. Har.

The very hip girl working the register impatiently asked, You're all getting hot chocolate?!? Maybe she thought we were under the false impression that it secretly wanted to discontinue being a coffee shop and start a new life as a hot chocolate shop.



This talk of hot chocolate got me thinking about when I was visiting my dear sister in Ohio (as opposed to my sista's all over the world, honey): the whole time I was there, I was very calm, very relaxed, very content. There were multiple times when the tv was off and staring blankly, and I didn't even think to turn it on. And we would listen to music and sit. And eat a banananut muffin. Everything so calm. And now I can't even sit here and listen to a CD without wanting to read some webpages or work on my computer.

here I'm alive / everything all of the time
That's what I think to myself when these moments happen. I think I honestly need to slow down everything and not be in such a hurry.

Similarly, I am unable to calmly, slowly read a book. I find that once I start reading it and getting into it, I ravage, ravage, ravage it like a dog. And I have a hard time stopping. It's like if I don't finish it tonight (!), I'm never going to know what happens; I'm going to miss out! For my most recent birthday, I got Ender's Game and started reading it and stayed up almost all night reading it, despite the fact that I had to get up the next morning at 4:30 and work for 16 hours. What the fuck was I thinking?!? I'm not sure, but I think it's probably unhealthy.



While we were painting the town with male desperation, we stopped at the ear-xtacy. Once I saw the new Fugazi, I knew I had to have it. Oh! My! God!!! Fuck, is this good!?! Phew. And I though End Hits was rockin'... I don't think this is ever going to leave my CD player...
