06/25/2002 entry: "I never want to see another CD again.. AH!"

Today wasn't incredibly productive. But it was alright.

Last night, I was up late trying to plan out a trip to the Art Institute for Kevin and me. I was going to get up at 9:30am, because my friend Sara was supposed to call me at 10 and then she'd come over here and pick me up, and we'd go to the temp agency. Hey, did I forget to tell Kevin about what I'm explaining now? Oh well, hopefully I'll remember tomorrow. Anyhow, I woke up for 5 seconds at 9:30, then woke up at 11:30. Thinking I'd missed Sara's call, (the phone in my room doesn't ring cause it's an old circle dial phone I got at a thrift store) I got up really quickly and ran downstairs to see the caller ID. She hadn't called. So, I called her, and she was still asleep. Needless to say, we didn't go to the temp agency today. We're going Wednesday. I have such a full week! I love it!

Anyhow, so I took my sister to see that Scooby Doo movie. We both knew it wasn't going to be great, but we had to see it. Well, it's wasn't GREAT. But I think some of the previews hurt me more than the movie itself. Youch. Anyhow, I think it was worth it to see Sugar Ray as the evil demon-possessed rock band on Spooky Island. Fucking Sugar Ray. Blech. Plus, I like Sarah Michelle Gellar. You'd think I'd only like her in Buffy, but I don't. I like her in her other movies too. So yeah.

Speaking of bad music, I went through my CDs today. ::shudder::. I was putting inserts back in, and putting CDs I don't really listen to often in their holders. And trying to figure out what CDs to get rid of. You wouldn't believe how much yucky music I still have. I'm determined to make a few bucks off of it.

But, I did find something interesting. I knew I had this CD called Dillinquents or something, that had an old Skallops (pre-First Grade Crush) song on it. But I had forgotten what the song was. Well, turns out, I probably look like dumb. One of the songs on their newest album is a remake of that old Skallops song. That's so funny. Well, in my defense, I hadn't listened to the Dilliquents CD in a while, plus I have a horrible memory. But that was kind of neat. I also listened to this other CD I have, Everything Offbeat, which has another Skallops song on it, a pre-FGC version of Traffic Light Eyes. It's actually pretty good, being an older recording and all. I was surprised.

So this week = fun stuff. Today, the Scooby Doo movie. Tomorrow, Kevin and I are going to hang out and rent a movie or something. Wednesday Sara and I are going to that temp agency, and I'm hoping I can convince Sara to come with me to at least Rossi Music so I can look at some acoustic electric guitars in person. Maybe the Guitar Center, if she feels up to it... There is that other place, I forget the name. Anyhow. The Guitar Center is a last resort, because of how they seem to treat female customers. Everytime we've been in there, they kind of ignore us. But if a guy walks in with you, the employees are like "hey, how's it going, can I help you, etc". To the guy. It's not fun. We have gotten talked to a couple times, but it's rare. So it's kind of awkward to go in there. But you know what, for how many years Sara and I have been saying "Fuck 'em, they're assholes" we still can't go in without being anxious. That bites.

Oh, anyhow. Ha. Then Thursday, is the Steven show. I'm getting very psyched. It's my first time seeing them live. Plus I get to see a couple other acoustic acts. I did tell Sara she could come with, I think I'll remind her on Wednesday. I really hope Peggy finds out if she can go or not too. Maybe if Steven plays that Shins show in Champaign, I'll kidnap Peggy and make her come with me and Kevin so she can see them, ha. Yeah, I dunno. But I'm very excited. I just can't seem to find out what time the show is at. I called the Cafe like 4 times today and every single time I got a recording saying they were on the other line. Sheesh! That's crazy. So,- Oh! I just remembered. I was thinking tomorrow about asking Kevin if he wanted to drive up there real quick tomorrow and just ask in person... but I guess I should just keep calling and calling. Damn people being on the phone.

So okay, that's it for now, I just thought I'd update.

Oh, then July 1st is this Monday. That's my uncle's, Peggy's and Sara's sister's birthday. I know my uncle's party is Saturday. Becky, (Sara's sister), I don't know if she's doing anything or what my sister is getting her. (They're friends). Peggy, well, I can't really talk about that just in case she reads this :D I don't know if she does, I doubt it actually, I don't even know if I've ever linked her to it. But I'm still not taking the risk!

Ack, my head hurts. I need sleep. Goodnight.
