you never realize how much the internet is apart of your life until it is taken out of your life. whoever lived near me with a wireless signal in reach moved out and so now i'm without internet until i cave or someone else moves in with the intranets sans passcode.
anyway, whatever.
the ipod touch got bluetooth and so i've been trying to pair my ipod touch to my polaroid instant printer lately. NO SUCCESS thus far.
i might have it figured out though... i think i've got the passcode for the pogo so i'm set possibly.
anyhoo, but with the internet discussion. so i'm at java house right now and i realize that when i'm on the internet i really don't do all that much other than look at random wikipedia sites and blogs and youtube videos and check the sales at work and look at flickr pages. i really don't do much of importance on the actual internet. this is kind of a let down when i go to the coffee shop to use the internet and i realize this... i feel like i should be doing something important. instead i'm updating my weblog and listening to the choir.
i was looking at some cameras on amazon for awhile... ?
as long as i don't just spend the whole time on facebook i guess it's not too bad.
RIGHT?!
anyhoo, i should go do laundry and clean my apartment. i made a list of things to do today and i have yet to start on them and it's 2 pm.
epic fail.
i've updated my blog more in the past 2 days than i have in the past 2 months probably. strange.
went to some show at the warehouse that a buncha kids moved into last night. noise show stuff. yup. yeah... stuff!
okay. latez yo.

APOD
a staple in my life for the past 5-6 years has been APOD (Astronomy Picture Of the Day) and so I was checking it the AM after not having the internet for about two days - tragic, I know - and I'm checking it and the picture today is a remnant of a Supernova. so COOL.
Anyway... here it is.
also, to check out APOD... http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/

"the girls from ames"
FIRST OF ALL, i do not recognize any of the people on the cover. FAKES.
SECOND OF ALL, i hate this. why is this book not about me?
THIRD OF ALL, i'm way more "ames" than they will ever be.
i know way way way more about ames and experienced way more probably ugh. UGH!
ugh!
i do not enjoy the whole concept of this book... and it's not about me.
that's the main part, really.
so when i'm on the nyt best selling books list or at least the book about me is, i'll be happy and content. but my book would be so much better.
okay. done.

a better son/daughter
the first thing i thought when i listened to rilo kiley all those years ago was "this is the type of music that should live on and i should listen to when i think about high school era"
i still think that 6 years later.
i'm almost 22 afterall, holy shit.

spring time
it's one of those days where it gets cold again after a rain and i want it to be warm and stuff cuz i wanna go outside and buy some new soap and drink coffee but it feels more like a fall day rather than spring.
these days are frustrating to me.
LAME.
anyway, i've been meaning to get some thumb tacks to stick up this german flag i stole from my parents. it's classy. i want to put things in the foreground and take pictures of things in front of it. i'd put it behind my bed but there's a window there. and then people might mistake me for a nazi. NO GOOD.
the new bed i purchased from lebeda came today, too. i'm going to hang out in it for awhile before i do anything today.
okay. coffee time. I'M STOKED.

wha wha iowa.
so i guess iowa passed the gay marriage bill allowing gay marriage. how insane. first state in the midwest.
noice one, iowa. how progressive of us.
in other news, i really miss the washington street jimmy johns and all its problems. being in iowa city doesn't feel the same anymore. i don't really like working at the new store.
i like a few of the employees but that's about it. good night and good luck!

Across the Universe
I've recently decided that Across the Universe is probably one of my favorite movies.
One of the best movies I've seen in a long time.
I've been watching it while I've been on the computer the past couple-a days, more in the background as a soundtrack. It's kind of nice to just be able to listen to Beatles songs. I love netflix!!
My dvd player recently broke, the man at Best Buy told me the laser was bad in it now and it's cheaper to get a new one. So I'm going to do that soon.
Today I walked downtown to pick up my paycheck and grab some lunch after my hefty slumber of sleeping in til noon after working about 20 hours in 2 days with 3 hours of sleep in-between shifts of 13 hours and 9 hours and I wore some different shoes because my "normal shoes" are getting a little beaten up and I thought I'd try something else out. In about 30 minutes time I got a blister the size of my heel and it popped. I looked at it after one of my drivers dropped me off at my apartment and the skin was all scaled down to the bottom, ew gross I know.
But anyway it was so bad I would keel over every time I put any pressure on it. It's feeling a little better but I think I might take a vicadin and fall asleep.
Foolish decision!
Anyhoo, this was moreso just to tell you guys to watch Across the Universe. now.
do it!

the lock-out
i walked home after a 12-hour day at work to eat some mac and chz and take a shower before going up stairs to watch heroes at tara's.
so i get to my door, get out my keys and unlock the door but it's already unlocked so i get my "confused look" on my face and start panicking. i call the maintenance guy, joe, and to no avail. his phone is turned off. i don't believe this is true so i call again, frantic, and leave a wordy ridiculous voice mail. typical.
so i go up to tara's apartment on floor three because we have plans around 8 and it's about 7 and i know she's doing homework. i inform her of the situation at hand and so we eat our respective dinners, her's jell-o, mine mac n chz from z'mariks.
so we watch the tail end of gossip girl while she does homework and i am trying to call joe every 15 minutes to see if he's turned his phone on yet.
he hasn't.
heroes is on and it's exciting but i'm still pre-occupied with the obvious i'm-locked-out-of-my-apartment woes. even though it hadn't quite hit yet. after heroes we get the bright idea to try and contact natalie the mod pod lady herself to see if she had a different number we could try to get ahold of joe with. nope, no answer. we lose.
THEN, i get the brilliant idear of trying to break into my apartment window because i swear it is possible. which half freaked me out but half made me excited to be able to get in. luckily (??) i could not break into my apartment.
so we watch the tele and tara does homework and i continue to call joe.
around 1145 we both realize how tired we are and i realize i'm probably not going to be able to go home that evening so we set up sheets and a few blankets on her couch for me to sleep on -- man, tara's awesome! and right as we're both about to go to sleep or at least attempt to, at 1204 joe calls. after MIDNIGHT. really!? so, he says he will come unlock the door and i chuckle to myself a bit. 5 hours of waiting for him to call or at least check his phone to see if he's missed any calls... yadda yadda yadda i go downstairs get let in to my apartment, say hello to all my furniture i haven't seen since 6am that morning, watch sex and the city, and fall asleep.
what a weird day yesterday was.

the flobots
the latest band that i've been really into is the flobots. their two singles 'rise' and 'handlebars' are two of the best songs i've heard in forever.
note, they're rappers. note, they're from denver. note, they're political.
the lyrics in their songs are completely telling and they use string instruments and trumpets and it brings everything i love about music all into one thing.
everyone misinterprets what he's talking about in 'handlebars' thinking that he wants to take over the world.
that being said, this weeks office was pretty good.
i have a lot to do at work this week. i'm doing the schedule and have all these weird things i need to do in addition to that. busy busy. i just listen to a lot of wu tang clan and punk/garage rock about capitalism.
