The Way I See It # 287

I SHOULD be asleep because Sidney and I are venturing into the City tomorrow to see the Holocaust Museum. I'm excited. I've heard that exhibits are incredibly sad and striking, but I've never been. A note for Sid if he reads this: it is free admission, I was wrong! So that should be fun.

Later tomorrow night I'll be visiting Emma and having dinner at her place to eat and catch up. I'm looking forward to it. I always liked Emma, as I have said about a million times, and catching up should be fun. I trust she won't put on an Intervention about you-know-who, but I expect lots of questions, and I plan to give honest answers. I'm glad we're not going out because I'm sort of low on available monetary means.

Tonight I joined Sid and Julian and watched "Tron". I actually really liked it. I liked the look, I liked the costumes, I liked Jeff Bridges, it was good! I thought it was funny to see a movie about computer programs, who would have thought? My dad would probably love that movie.

now I should really sleep. If I take any picture of the museum, I'll put them up, but I don't think it would be appropriate to take photos, so maybe not...

before I go, I forgot to mention. That car accident Sid and I were in six months ago? I got a phone call from my insurance company telling me the case was still open because the man who's car I hit is now having accident-related surgery! I can't believe this. first of all I hope the guy is alright, but I can't believe six months later he's getting surgery. I won't even talk about the possibility of a lawsuit. I'm not really worried. It's probably minor, and my insurance will cover part of it. then it will be finally done with.

Do you ever stare at the screen so long that you get the spins?

The Way I See It # 278: FRESH BEATS

Julian's post was absolutely correct. Greg Gillis, AKA "Girl Talk" has some fucking fresh beats. I've linked the website where you can buy the CD in the title of this post, so click away if you so please!
Tonight I went to Ebbie's house for a shin-dig and I actually had a lot of fun. Everyone was there. I talked with Julie Chappel, who I never really talked to in high school, and thought wasn't very compatible with, but she's a really cool girl! It was actually really nice talking to her, and I enjoyed myself. It was nice to socialize with people my age, and also to get in touch with my actual friends at VCU like Ebbie, Emily, Julian, Brendan, etc. Kelly showed up but it didn't even matter. it was totally fine. I love closure!

Things got a bit tangled when Sid showed up after work, but we're going to talk about that tomorrow. All I was trying to do tonight was have a conversation, I didn't mean to start a fight.


I'm Tired.
"Set It Off" Is AMAZING.

The Way I See It # 268

I'm so fucking nervous it's ridiculous. I'm sick of dealing with housing, I'm sick of working.... I want to go to the beach and just relax. I'm making it my job to plan a day that Sid and I (and a couple of friends..... I'm talking to you!) can head down or up to a beach for a night or so. We're both not going on vacation this summer, so I think a two-day trip is just the ticket.

My friend Julian reads this blog, and has so nicely linked me in his, that I've returned the favor. look to the "Favorite Roasts" on the right hand bar to find the link to his "Challenging The Doors Of Time". Holla atchaa boooyyy!

I'm off to Richmond tomorrow morning to get my shit done and over with. One of the perks with having a year lease will be that, if I choose to, I will never have to come back and see my Dad if I don't need to. I'm sad that things in my perspective have gotten so deteriorated. I'm sure he doesn't see it that way. I can't relate to the man, I don't like being around him, and he makes life hard. Life is going to be hard for the next six months to a year. I'm forcing myself to not go into detail so that I can truthfully say that I didn't let my mom down. She wants me tight-lipped.... not that being discreet isn't appropriate. it is. I just wish I could talk about it with someone outside my family.

Sid and I went to Tysons II Galleria because Tysons I is certainly tiring at this point. We went into Saks Fifth Avenue so I could window shop, and I'm afraid I made him feel really uncomfortable. Some people just don't see the point in looking at stuff like that. Sid didn't, but that's not unusual. I'm just being a girl. We went into a store called "Anthropologie" that sells clothing and housewares. I loved all of the house wares. Jesus Christ. I get excited about door knobs. What the fuck is with me? Maybe I should have studied Interior design like I had thought to. I'm just not artistically talented in drawing and things like that. A lot of the people I work with at Resto. got the job they have because they're studying Interior Design somewhere. It's funny because I applied for the job there because I'm interested in the subject.
At any rate, I thought Saks was nice, but uneventful. Maybe if I had thousands of dollars in the bank I might have bought that Prada handbag lying in the sale bin for 1014.00.
Or maybe not. :)

Wish me luck, I travel to Richmond tomorrow to fulfill my destiny.
