-I cancelled my satellite cable the other day. And I got rid of my phone line - so that means no internet at home. I also paid off my ipod, a new suit, and an old credit card. This spring my friend Erin and I are going to have a yardsale. I'm trying to simplify my lifestyle. And by simplify I mean still having a mortgage, a television, a playstation, an ipod, a computer, a car, and too many clothes.
-My Ipod is set to repeat Onelinedrawing, Walking Concert, Arcade Fire, and Modest Mouse songs. I'm sure there's some specific genre that all those bands fit in, but I don't know the name for it. So I'm going to name it "Kyle." My current, favorite genre of music is Kyle.
-Thanks to Pepsi's ITunes promotion, I've been able to download an entire album's worth of music for free so far. If you drink Pepsi products but don't use ITunes - save your winning bottle caps for me, please. P.Dirty has all the people at his work giving him their caps. All the people I work with drink malt-liquor. The only thing they find under their caps is slurred speech and kicking dogs.
-I went to Kitty's last night to relax with a beer and talk to my favorite bartender. He refers to me as his minister. Last night he asked me to pray for him. I asked him what in particular he wanted prayed for and he said just life in general. I asked him why and he said, "Because it couldn't hurt." I also talked to the bar's manager for about an hour about growing up in Ireland and her feelings on the I.R.A. She said that they've become a lot less visible since Bush came into office because everyone's so amped up about "terrorism." But she predicts once he's out of office they'll become active again. She said growing up she wasn't really affected by it all because of where she lived - but that once on a school field trip, all the kids were taken off of a bus and searched at gunpoint by English soldiers.
I also asked her about the stereotype that all Irish are drunks. She blamed it on the fact that the Irish have small houses. She said that because their houses were so small they can't invite people over - so the only place to hang out with your friends is at the bar.
That is a ridiculous excuse to drink. They should take up hobby or sport like bird watching or curling.
The Irish: Finding ridiculous reasons to drink since time began.
I didn't know you were Irish, Lynn.
Touche...
I think that goes for Germans, too. I mean, they invented a whole event for it.... oktoberfest
I invented and event for smoking crack. I don't smoke crack myself, but I felt like even crack heads should have something to look forward to. It was called Crackfest. I told P.Dirty about it but he completely misunderstood and there was a hilarious sit-com like mix up.
tell the connies that i really am sorry about that whole ordeal.
