Brilliant Mistake

I need to find less enjoyment in iTunes. Really.

So I get iTunes back 'round here...but there's sharing too! Do you think people are judging me on my downloaded songs? Am I cool enough? Are they as excited to see that I downloaded Belle & Sebastian and the Best of Elvis Costello?

Why is it that Elvis Costello is the best music ever for a rainy day? Not to mention a mind-numbing job like this one. It's not very thrilling - but I get paid so much more and can do things like get record album frames and a haircut after work.

Now there's a Found party at Intuit on Friday night. It's like Christmas in June!
1) book exchange @ the hideout
2) found party @ intuit
3) printers row book fair
4) white sox are back in town
5) jill and snow patrol next weekend

Though the Snow Patrol thing is now TBD. I don't know if I can deal with the sis. She's going to CA w/ the boy so he can interview. I get it - it's loooooove and he's leaving and it's horribly tragic. However, do you get to treat other people like your doormat? How can 2 people from the same genetic pool be so different? I left the ex and ended up taking my mom to cancer docs and doing all the holiday stuff...

I know I just need to let it go - and for a change I can this weekend. I get to do my kind of stuff and get excited and not get ripped on. Just to talk about books and celebrate the everyday. I swear that's all I need.

Oh! The new Netflix is Apted's 'Up' series...he followed these british kids every 7 years. I just finished '21 Up'. There's going to be some drama for '28'. I do dig the kid from Hampshire who should have been a sheep farmer and is now studying physics at Oxford. The rest of the kids pretty much did what they were expected. Except for the cute kid from Liverpool who is squatting...he's in trouble too.

I think about what I would do if I was filmed with my dreams. Thank God I wasn't. There is nothing worse than documentation of talking out of your ass. I suppose I'm more humble now - but really, maybe I'm just less self-assured?
