a word of warning: from here on in, i am obsessed with my car. i so do love it. i feel safe in it, which is oh so nice. and it's pretty. here, see:
work has been ok. i'm on my ninth day in a row, next two days off. daily shipments are good, but they make things monotonous.
felicia and i hung out on sunday night. it was swell. we drove around and talked. we made our way to the little fight we had over andy, how we weren't being friends and how she was worried about my feelings for him. it was a burden released when i said that i used to love him, but i do not like him and don't want him in my life. who wants to tell their friend that they wish them happiness but dislike their s.o.? but still, we cleared the air. and then she talked to andy about it and we got the ok. so, now i have a new friend. her name is felicia-marie.
couldn't get tix to the devil's first home game, but we'll make a party out of it here. we're still on for slayer and king diamond, and another devil's game later in october. i've got to organize the Halloween events, like fright fest. here's hoping i make it to exhumed friday night...
gotta go get ready for work.

i *think* i fixed that huge picture problem.
so i'll be missing the exhumed show tomorrow night. i am wicked bummed. joe's birthday dinner (hooray joe's birthday!) starts at 8pm. so, poop. on the plus side, mark's going to the bowling party with me saturday night.
my day off was weird. woke up normal time to see mark off; eric came to take him to get paperwork done. when they got back, i drove him to the dmv, and then he went to work. i ran some errands, and got my car inspected. i still haven't gotten my insurance bill, and so my life is still on hold. i was sleepy so i took a nap around 4pm to around 5pm, and so now i'm all loopy. we had pasta for dinner (i was sooo full; yummy sausage sauce and garlic bread) and watched the first episode of carnivale. that reminds me- i have to call comcast about nhl center ice. i made a couple cds for friends (a liz phair mix for wayne and a general mix for joe), and did some reading. forgot to exercise.
many congratulations to meg on her on-line publication. maybe i'll try to submit something...
my cat pooped and it smells bad.

i added a pictures link at the bottom, but there aren't many there. i took some private pix and realized that my right breast is considerably larger than my left. i figured they were uneven, but i never knew how much. why didn't anyone tell me before? thanks a lot, everybody. always the last to know. but anyway...
why am i watching first wives club on tv? man, i'm bored.
we started watching carnivale on hbo on demand, which is an awesome service. they also have the first 4 episodes of sopranos 4th season, so we're going to watch them too. it's nice to not have to pay to rent a show we pay for with the cable anyway, and to be able to watch it whenever we want. we spent today just chillin', scarface and cheeseburgers. i am still waiting for my insurance bill, so i'm still stressed and distracted.
oh golly, now they're singing. i should change the station.
going to try to switch my shifts so that i close tuesday, cuz mark will be out anyway, and open wednesday. it's the first night of hockey and it's his birthday. (btw, happy birthday to alana, meg (are you and eric coming over?), wayne, and beleted greg.) i bought him a present about 2 months ago, so it's sorta anti-climactic. if i knew what was up with the insurance, i would be able to buy him a surprise gift. bummer.
ah, this is better. bill & ted's bogus journey.
i wonder how my friend jeff is doing, really.
going to go play more with the camera.

oh. so it's official. i need 2 bottles in order to dye my hair. i never do it right anyway (haphazard squeezing all over my head), but even that cannot cover all my hair anymore. it's long. long. i get comments on it every day now. so the top looks nice and red-y and the bottom's much more brown. such is life. tomorrow i'll buy another bottle.
and tomorrow is slayer. hooray! it'll be my second time seeing them and mark's... 5th or 6th. we're not as excited as we should be really (we're tired, and boring old people), but i was very sad when we missed their last show, and i'll be darned if i'm gonna miss 'em again. we didn't go to the last one cuz it was the middle of the summer when it was hot hot hot. i hope we're more enthused tomorrow.
spent some more time with felicia this weekend. we hung at a diner sunday night, and watched meet the feebles yesterday afternoon. anyone out there remember the coffee machine i got from andy for christmas years ago? i complained a lot about it... anyway, it's too complicated for me to use every day, so i swapped it for a karaoke machine of felicia's. she played me a jeff buckley song that i cannot get out of my head; i think he may be my new musical obsession. and i asked her to sing for me "both hands" by ani, which she said she'd learn. hooray. i was very nice to spend a weekday afternoon hanging out with someone; it reminded me of days long past with adam. too bad she's got school every day. i'm so selfish.
can't think of anything else much to say. i'm sleepy.

so, we missed slayer, and went to see kill bill instead. it was a movie; jury's still out till i see the second part. then we had an ill-fated time on saturday night when we tried to go to texas chainsaw with eric, meg, and brian. the ticket machines were broken (and kept breaking everytime we got near 'em), and mark thwarted our attempt to eat dinner and just hang out. so i've hung out with meg now one full time and two half times. we ended up renting willard which was pretty good in a cheesy way, and earned my cat the new nickname ben.
one of my purchases at target was a new, simple coffee machine- no bean grinding, no mess! i hope felicia gets years of fun from my old one, but i am just thrilled at the new one. i haven't seen her since last monday, but i am hoping that we're on for sunday night since andy'll be at d&d. i'm doing a walking tour of haunted haddonfield at 3:30pm, but should be free when that's over.
and i added a couple pix of my tattoos, if anyone's interested.
can't think of a good quote -- Rx --

oh, sure. it's 10:14pm on my favorite holiday and i'm at home. but that's ok. mark had off form work today; we were supposed to go to a tournament in scenic ohio, but decided months ago not to. luckily, his boss didn't make him come in. so we went to the phila zoo, which is my birthday tradition. i didn't go in early sept. due to the heat. today was perfect for it-- 70 degrees and totally not crowded. it was the best time i had there since i was a kid. i saw my lion (he forgave me for missing last year), and the new tiger cubs. i used my old camera to take pix (had to use the film eventually and i wanted a hard copy of my annual in-front-of-the-cobra-statue shot) so they won't be up for a couple weeks. we got home in time for me to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters, which was fun. it's sad that they only had till 6pm. isn't that about when we started when we were kids? (not that my mom let me go until i was in fourth grade...) we watched the next two episodes of carnivale while we ate dinner, and now he's taking in a special about punkin chunkin, and needless to say, here i am. i would've liked to go see alien, but wasn't really up for it. had there been a phantoms game, we'd be there.
did i mention that i love my car?
i went on a haunted walk of haddonfield with gina and her friends last sunday, but haven't otherwise hung out with anyone but mark in almost 3 weeks. i am hoping that felicia and/or meg are free sunday. meg and i are going to see rosencrantz and gildenstern are dead (did i spell those right?) on tuesday. watched white oleander and bowling for columbine. downloading the new napster. still haven't finsihed the book i'm reading, so i haven't started the book felicia lent me, or the one wayne lent me. been feeling like i just don't have any time. i don't like that feeling.
mark and i are doing phenomenally-- so much so that we are shopping for a betrothal ring. i'm thinking something with december's or january's birthstone, although diamonds do go with everything...
sleepy.
let's do the time warp again -- Rx --
