haHA! now the rubber band's on the other claw!

this week, i was off on wednesday, thursday, and friday, and i did very little.
friday, though...that was yesterday, and i went and looked at a house in oakland with luke. the place is big and cheap. it needs to be re-painted and scrubbed down all over, but that's all being taken care of within the upcoming week. luke and i want to take it, so wish us luck and/or say a prayer that we get it and that it's a good experience and such. i just can't wait to keep my room really clean and make the place inviting and have good food there all the time.

after looking at the house, i stopped by the tattoo shop and visited with jake and justun for a bit. then i stopped by the exchange and picked up the following:
Poison the Well - You Come Before You.
Owen - No Good For No One Now.
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine.
Jeff Ott - Will Work For Diapers.
The Postal Service - We Will Become Sillhouettes.
sweet haul, but i probably shouldn't have spent that money.

neeeeeext, i went to evan and julie's. cimba came eventually, and we all sat around and ate burgers and watched the bad news bears. we went down to a sweet carnival and played chuck-a-luck and watched a sweet oldies band. we also ran into erin sherlock (who is a manager at Urban Outfitters and might be able to hook me up with a job) and had fried oreos. we went back to evan/julie's, and angie came to hang out for a bit until around midnight, when i went down to the south side to meet up with megart. i hadn't seen her since like may, so it ruled. there was a party at her friends' house, and some people i knew were there, like my friend kenny from robert morris, billy from iup, and dillon smay. i spent most of the night with dillon until he disappeared with some chick. i caught two ugly people having sex in the basement, which was pretty funny.

i went back to evan and julie's around 3, and in the morning, julie and i went to the south side so she could take some tests online and i could fill out an application at UO. i took julie home, and then i came home myself. joe and thorell came over, and we swam. i hadn't swam in my pool in a long time, and it felt fantastic. i went to work, and kelly visited me!

i work again tomorrow night, and then monday i'm going to roboto to see brooks'/kenny's band. there are some other shows coming up that i want to go to: Modern Life Is War/Dead Hearts/Hank Jones, BTBAM/The Red Chord, and Warped Tour are all coming up within the next week or so. should be fun (expensive) times all over.

my new iPod is giving me crap. same thing the first one did. i couldn't use it at all yesterday. today i got it to turn on, but the battery was low, so i decided to just leave it on. it's charging now, soooo we'll see what happens when i look at it later. if it's useless like the last one, i am going to be so pissed, but they should send me another new one. i don't want to have to go through this a bunch of times, though. it's kind of ridiculous.

i guess that's all i have to say.
