The Wee Democracy

turn on the bright lights

man, it's been a good 24 hours. actually, a pretty solid forty eight hours.

i saw fahrenheit 9/11, which was not as impactful as i thought it would be, but mainly because A)it didn't give me a whole lot of new information, some....but not a whole lot; B)i already hate bush with a white hot seething passion usually reserved for passing kidney stones; and C) my expectations were pretty high. that being said, it's still a very good movie. and it works better if you don't think of it as a documentary and more of an op/ed piece. it's funny. fool me once? goddamn.

so that was sunday afternoon, which preceded a good conversation with a new friend of mine. always good times.

monday was pretty neat, too. i enjoyed a pleasant afternoon. i ironed my shirt for work earlier in the day, while i watched my soaps (yes, i watch soaps: Y&R, B&B) so that i could relax a little longer before making my way out to the bus stop. call me a dork, if you must, but i love having a nice crisp pretty shirt to put on and look swank in.

i made a mix this weekend, and revelled in my newfound enjoyment of a cd leah gave me at christmas - interpol. good stuff. the purpose of the mix was to trade cd's with cuzi, who is going to bosnia on wednesday. i also bought a lobster from her, which i've named clawson.

and so she came to meet me at work last night. it was a boring night and her appearance was quite welcomed. her friends came with her and they seemed like personable people too. i got the real name....but i won't tell you, respecting the anonymity of the blogger's code. ok, so there's no code, but i'm keeping the secret, suckers.

then today...ba badadaaaaa! i met and had drinks with lauren!

we met at the angelika, and had a couple screwdrivers. at first she was all quiet, and smiley, because, she said, "i just thought i'd never see you again." we talked. i gave her the rundown of the last two years in about ten minutes.

we shopped at virgin for a bit (it's right down the walkway, and i picked up the new beastie boys cd, mainly because i about nutted my shorts for the second track (right right now now). it's good...its no ill communication or check your head, but all the tracks are solid and they all have at least one line that makes me laugh.

some references i remember: foghorn leghorn, mr. furley (3's company), ron popeil, iron chef

i met lauren's kit-ten (that's how she says it, very clearly...kit-ten), elliott and her boyfriend's kit-ten betty. both very nice and personable cats.

then home, to find out that spider-man 2 is getting some of the best reviews of the year. who's got a free ticket? who?

ME!
