Things I Am Enjoying On or Near April 20, 2008
1. “Think I Wanna Die” - Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin
2. Large lattes with skim milk and sugar-free hazelnut
3. Hanging out with my cousin S. We can talk to each other in our own language that is filled with “Wayne’s World” quotes and family slang (e.g. calling people creeps, duds and pukes.)
4. “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” — Netflix it. It is hilarious. … even just for the scene where Jack Black is Paul McCartney and Paul Rudd is John Lennon.
5. Hulu.com. More of a time-suck than YouTube.
6. The weather. It’s been beautiful here recently. It seems like winter is finally over. Driving around with the windows open is lovely.
7. April is National Grilled Cheese Month.
8. The new earrings I bought on clearance for $3!
9. The news that my brother’s girlfriend is having a boy and that they are considering naming him Samuel. (Though I will still lobby for Seven, because you know that was Mickey Mantle’s number.)
10. The Brewers blog Brew Crew Ball
Things I Am Not Enjoying On or Near April 20, 2008
1. My cell phone bill was $198!
2. I drank on an empty stomach last night, and got incredibly out of it, and probably pissed off a lot of people.
3. I am an asshole. A cheap asshole. I have to go to NC to see my sister get her Ph.D. in May, but then, I’m also supposed to go to Fla. in June to see A.J. get baptized. I’ll be there, but right now, planning all of this is giving me a headache. All I need is money.
4. Not being paid in a timely manner for freelance work.
5. Gas is very close to $4 a gallon!
6. Nine Inch Nails’ “Ghosts” is incredibly boring and had to be released under a Creative Commons license where interested parties can freely remix it and make it not shitty.
7. Flight of the Conchords tickets sold out before I could buy two.
8. Ben Sheets got hurt.
9. My hair. It be out of control.
10. That tomorrow is a Monday.
