Yesterday we made dinner and watched The Corporation and today we went to the video shoot for the new Evaporators video, which was silly. If you ever do see it, I am the small girl walking across the hall wearing glasses and an odd look on my face.

Listening to Carissas's Weird, wishing they would get back together. I lay in bed with the windows open and lights off and music playing, I do this more often than I think I should. I daydream about cashing in bonds I don't have and flying away to another city, stumbling down streets with names I don't know and finding something new and meaningless that I can throw myself into. Everyone wants to be found, sometimes I just want to get lost, lose everything. I want to be somewhere that's not here but I don't want to completely disappear so I'll keep the same ten records in my head and the soundtrack will never change.
I know this all sounds really idealistic and young, I know it does and that's what I like about it.

My feet are so sore and my muscles are...
Enough complaining. (But I'm so tired!)
The show tonight went Ok, I think. We had some technical difficulities, but people seemed to have fun. FUN 100 really are the best band in the city. Carrying the Moog home on the bus wasn't a good idea though, it is more than half my weight, probably!
Paul brought flowers. Tulips! He's not the flower kind of guy. I always thought, if he were ever to bring me flowers, he'd be the type who would present me with a package of seeds, ready to be planted. I guess, on May 24 would be our one year anniversary. I'm not really sure though, as the whole "anniversary" thing is kind of foggy to me, plus we have broken up a few times but never for more than a couple days. We've never even celebrated any sort of anniversary since we met!!
Sweetness, oh sweetness, how did you find me?

Busy day! A couple things, in no particular order:
1. I got the job at the tiny fancy Yaletown shoe-store. If you want to come visit me sometime, it's called Intra-Venus and it's on Mainland Street. The website is crap so but the pay is Ok, I don't know, google it if you like. I start to-morrow.
2. Katie and I bought matching Vans at Livestock. Shoes, not vehicles. They are grey and white and have three velcro straps. They make my feet look really cute.
3. In the mail lately: Tickets to Young Buck! New things from Weezer, Spoon, Book of Lists, Limp Bizkit (ha!), Nine Inch Nails, Veda Hille, Caribou, Electralane, etc.
4. Right now, I am listening to David Cross for the first time in ages and laughing my head off. God, what a funny man. How does someone get to be so funny?
5. Our show is tomorrow night. Scary.

My horoscope (if you believe in those sorts of things) said something about getting a secret surprise from someone who understands me completely and this morning I checked the mail and found a surprise letter from Paul. It's sweet like him. Makes you go hmmmm.

Katie and I went to see some rappers from Saskatoon tonight. Pretty great, actually.

After nine days of living in absolute chaos, I finally caved and unpacked my entire room. No more empty boxes, living out of suitcases with clothes and books strewn all over the floor!
This evening, I'd planned on going to my friend Rebecca's birthday party only when Paul came over to pick me up, I suddenly felt so exhausted I couldn't move. So, we stayed in. And in. And then to Deserts for a late night meal and yes, their samosas are delicious but please please remind me never to have their soup again. We've been going there pretty regularly and I'm never impressed with their soup, yet I am still consistently ordering it. Why?!!
Also, I don't usually like Tom Waits that much but tonight when we were laughing and eating and they were playing him at the resturaunt, it made things feel pretty Ok.
( PS. Books! )

I read somewhere that Dave Chappelle had a nervous breakdown. I don't like that.
I can't stop updating my online diary. I am sitting here and I keep thinking about new things I want to write about or tell you. I walked down the Drive today and kept running into people I knew. This happened every twenty or thirty feet. I will never get used to this city. Bumping into a friend on the street is much like how you used to see your friends in the halls in the middle of the school day. Usually, I give the obligatory head nod or wave and if it's unavoidable or someone I like, a "What's up, where ya going?" Half of the time, I expect them to say, "Oh, you know. Just on my way to Jameson's class. I hate that prick, he always gives the hardest tests. See you after Chem lab?"
It made me think of a funny thing Paul said. I don't know if I should post it here because he might be mad, I am debuting his joke a couple hours early. Do comedians care about that sort of stuff?

Please, your favorite books?
I borrowed the Ali Smith and Dave Eggars books some people suggested.
They were nice. I would like some more, Ok!

Moved into the new apartment. It's beautiful. I've been cleaning all day, up to my arms in bleach and liquid detergent and cigarettes dangling out of mouth and rubber gloves on my arm, speakers blaring, windows thrown open. I have lots of pictures of everything from the past two days, parties and dancing and art shows and concerts and so on. For now though, just more cleaning.
( Some songs that are good to listen to while cleaning are... )

This afternoon, books and beer and laying in the sand. Is this the summer I've been waiting for all along? Baby oil rubbed on arms, warm breeze and ocean as far as the eye can see. In THIS photo, you can see my funny legs.

Photo that I scanned for Paul almost a year ago!
He called me this afternoon while walking around New York with one of those funny yuppie headsets. He'll be home tomorrow but it seems so far away. He's still mid-film and production is picking him up at the airport to take him straight to set and he wants me to come, too. I always feel in the way whenever anyone's working and I am not though. In the way and awkward.
Anyways, I've got an LCD Soundsystem interview tomorrow. I'm really excited about the new album, so I think it'll be fun. What's really embarassing, though is having an EMI rep call you at home to set something up while you're blasting "Oh Mandy" by Barry Manilow. "Oh wow, is that Barry? Manilow, I mean. Not White."
Tonight, working door at the Brickyard. My roommate and I moving on Sunday but I haven't packed a thing. Our new apartment is pretty though, sunny with dark dark hardwood floors and french doors.

I bought a new shirt today and it looks like THIS.
Four am already? Tomorrow I'm picking up my comp U2 tickets and then scalping them on Craigslist. If you live in Vancouver, you're welcome at a shot.

Weezer, tonight at the Commodore. Very nice bouncer let me stand right next to the stage beside him, instead of having to hang out behind the barricades.
PS. I just noticed, if you go to the News section of the Weezer website, they quote my article. This makes my stomach feel really funny. I almost wish they hadn't, though - the story isn't very good and pretty fluffy and besides, I misquoted "Pink Triangle" lyrics. What can you really say about Weezer though? Ergh!
