just got home from dinner with suzanne. it was great to see her. we went to the california pizza kitchen, and i must admit, i wasn't wild about the food. oh well, can't win them all. . . right now i am just chillin' listening to (in my 3 CD changer) Mortal City by Dar Williams, Homegrown by Michelle Malone, and The Honesty Room by Dar Williams. i know, i know, you're impressed that i am not hearing anything by the indigo girls now. can't listen to them all the time! i never need to get into the IG mood. in that all the time. for some weird reason i feel like listening to Dar's The Green World. those songs were so much better live. but that is in my car and i am too damn lazy to walk my ass outside and get it. man, i can't wait for my 2 upcoming IG shows. . .

the dar show kicked ass! i just love dar more and more every time i see her. too bad she hardly ever plays the midwest. (but then again, concert tickets cost a lot of money. money that i don't have). anyway, the new album gew on me (live is a different expreience). the only thing i was slightly dissappointed about was the abscence of a meet and greet. dar williams used to ALWAYS do those after shows (but then again, i last saw her three years ago). she didn't play the great unknown (which was fine, but she did see the sign i made), but i handed her a letter about what that song means to me and to my friends in hiroshima. i am sure she read it. dar is known to be damn good with her fans (and she is! she remembered my name the second time i saw her!). anyway... oh, the opening act was great. some leftist comedian. really funny. now the dilema: gore or nader? again i agonize. i love everything ralph nadar stands for, but at the same time, a vote for nader is a vote away from gore, so is really a vote for W. (the comedian and dar both said that W. stands for worst! so true!). so i support nader and everything he stands for and i hope that ONE day american will be ready for a leftist leader, but i think i have to give my vote to gore. urrg. did i mention (sorry, random) that i got a setlist from the show tonight? well i did. yippie! anyway, i need to go to bed. IG tix onsale too damn early tomorrow...
oh...i forgot to mention how pleased i am that the abortion pill was finally legalized. it is about time... a huge victory for pro-choice americans!
so tonight is the big dar show. . . i am excited, but not in the way i am before an IG show (i know, i know, you're saying "dah") i am really banking on her playing a LOT of old stuff. to be 100% honest, i am not crazy about the green world. it is too overproduced and way too poppy for my folkie tastes. but it should be a lot of fun. i am going with doug. i feel bad. alex thought we hadn't invited him. we did. he just didn't want tickets. but that was a long time ago, so maybe he forgot? nonetheless, i don't want to exclude him. tomorrow suzanne comes home for the weekend. thank goddess. i miss my best friend i am getting more and more excited for london. in all honesty, i am almost more excited to go to paris for the eighth (or something like that) time. i love paris. i almost miss living there. maybe not, really. but it will be nice to be off of american soil. and i am leaving at the perfect time...i get home the monday before election day. so i get to miss all of that political bullshit. speaking of which, i am voting for gore. though i would like to vote for nader, i am worried that he will split the liberal vote. and i will do ANYTHING to prevent georgie bush(wacked) from winning this election. besides, i do not think gore is that evil. he supports abortion rights and when it comes down to it, *that* is my biggest issue. anyway, this is getting looooooong. ok. whatever. i needed to rant.

indigo girls tickets go onsale on saturday at 10am (that is 9am my time). Guess I'll have to get up early. . . Wednesday, September 27, 2000
i don't know what to think and feel today. my 3rd interview at borders was frusterating (to say the least). i don't want to get into details here and now (maybe i'll feel the urge to rant later), but i just whinned to doug for the past 30 minutes. but on the bright side, the indigo girls show in columbus, ohio has been CONFIRMED. tickets go on sale on saturady. michelle malone is the opening act (if you can even call her that -- she is almost like the 3rd indigo girl!). anyway, it looks like a trip back to good ol' wittenberg is in order. speaking of witt, i miss the place. i especially miss sensei. and of course all of my friends. uggg. graduating college was great and relieving, but at the same time, there are days when i just want to go back. did i mention that i HATE the american military presence in okinawa, japan?!??! . . .

being sick sucks. i fucken hate the fact that i am allergic to everything. my medicine either doesn't work or knocks me out. i am so goddamn ill that i had to cancel my appointment to take the GRE tomorrow. oh well. honestly, i am a bit relieved. the notion of scoring in the 200 range (because i am either sniffling and not being able to breathe, or zonking out due to heavy medication) doesn't thrill me. got berkeley's application today. i feel like i don't have a prayer. . .

so once upon a time i thought a web journal might be fun. but that requires too much time and too much energy that i just don't have. grr. so anyway, this blogger service is quite a good idea for my site. expect heaps of rants, random thoughts, and just silly ass shit. come visit often. this shit will change all the time. i promise. |
besides, after last night, i am on this dar kick. and i need to get into the michelle malone mood (though i usually am) because she is opening up for IG in columbus.
