frank.

not the magazine. although it is wonderful and the fact i gave dude my samoan issue... well, lesson learned.

anyways, frank is my friend. he is not a magazine. we hung out tonight and bonded, i think. i am glad that i got to meet him and he is my friend.

BOYS. oh, sorry. MEN.

"i get satisfaction out of seeing stuff that makes real change in the real world. We need a lot more of that and a lot less abstract stuff."

I created a playlist in i-tunes titled, "Eeyore - Sad about Love".

i had a great weekend. i felt like i was on vacation! yay arc!! i haven't had that much fun with him in years. YEARS. it was great. last night on our walk to chop suey for soul club we were running & leaping down the street. like we were running hurdles.

we went to meza last night after dancing. it is pretty cool inside there, but the main dishes were not all that great. i'd still go back for ambiance and tapas which cannot easily be messed up.

we saw the cutest dog and a cute family at cal anderson. we were eating brunch there on saturday. the girl (about 9) was all: "i'm gonna tie the bag to abby" (the dog). she then did this. we busted a gut over it then and for the rest of the weekend, too.

i'll need to take a few days without drinking. and a few days of eating only healthy things.

arc and i are planning bike 4th of July vacation in Portland. He told me of 1 bike path that goes down 205 then spits you out in Sellwood. And another ride to St. Johns that is easy but 2 hours long. We have already planned our Pro-America biking outfits.

i have been using this night cream for a couple of months now, but i've only been using samples prepared by the counter people. i went out and bought the jar of it. i learned that "efa" translates to "essential fatty acid".

shower time!

I love Modern Family ( the sitcom on abc) so much. You all should watch it so it doesn't go off the air - that worries me. It's so good. I need to check its ratings so I will know if I should worry more or less.

Anyways, this episode is really good. There are so many good episodes that make me LOLZ. I can't recommend it enough.

season 1, episode 16

it has the lady from boston legal & weeds. she owned the cheese shop in weeds. i so very much like her. like i told the dude from a band tonight, "i very much enjoyed seeing you play

i also like the episode involving fencing, and the one where the odd boy from the "mainstream" family has a birthday party. And all the other ones I've ever seen, which I think is probably all of them.

while i was trying to figure out a way to pay for this super cheap ticket i saw online - this included budgeting/rebudgeting/paying down a card just to use it again in 5 minutes, phone calls to my parental.

the price of ticket went up. $169 and now i cannot afford it. oh well. if the ticket is that price now, it's not a sale. so it doesn't matter if i buy it now or two weeks from now.

wow.

people from my life i knew when we were teens & young adults - we had a lot of things deeply wound up & bounded together there.


this hit me because some stuff today had me thinking about an incident that happened in the late 90's. i grabbed an old copy of theo to look it up. i knew exactly what piece i was looking for - i wrote it after the incident. and then i read it, and i was all: "holy shit. that is the saddest thing ever. i can't show it to this person because it is the saddest thing ever." never mind that all the interested parties have read it several times over. that was years ago. that was so long ago - that was *us* years ago. it was so long ago i responded to the world with things like zines and poetry.


props.
