Ah, sweet distraction.

Many thanks to Kristen to came over my house for about an hour and a half... We ended up talking about boys, carrots, leotards, and breasts. All in all, a pretty good visit. I very much appreciated her being there. Genevieve too. And of course I appreciate the others who offered assistance who I just haven't taken up on yet.

Ah, it's gonna be a fun week.

Actually, make that statement about money void, as I just cashed a lovely little $100 check today, so woo to that. Another $668 was also deposited into my account. That, babes, will probably cease to be the moment I even walk into an apartment to rent.
But the $100 is mine to spend as I feel neglient... er, fit.

Hmm... Nothing else really today - oh, that's not true. I took my Union County College math placement test. I was excused from an English one 'cause my SAT scores got me out of it... I don't know... I'm nervous that even though there were only 17 algebra and another 24 arthimetic problems, I finished in 17 minutes... However, even if I got them all wrong (a strong, statistical possibility), it was the most relaxed test experience I've ever had. Strange, 'cause I was pretty hostile in the morning, after what was an early AM from hell before I finally got to sleep.

I'm in dire need of some FUN.

What else... Oh, did some nutso Dick Tracy scanning (for those unaware, I'm trying to make a comprehensive website for the film - there are, um, none) and listened to both "The Little Mermaid" and "Rocky Horror" VHS's in the background. Apparently my DVD Player is coming soon. I've not decided on a first DVD - well besides the one I already have (the limited edition Madonna "What it feels like for a girl" DVD that I scored simply because it was limited - and have seen once in totality... not that it's a surprise... My first CD was before I had a CD player... and that was Madonna, too - the "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" remix CD... Wow... Memories... Madonna, consider me technologically-inable, but devoted).

Had a really yummy gross lunch, too (McDonald's). Wasn't hungry though. However, it's almost 8, and I can't myself eating again tonight. The hunger just isn't there. Ah, well. Maybe I'm just not feeling well. After all, lunch consisted of some pretty sketchy beef.

By the way, I know have a new e-mail address I'd prefer none of you to use: background_music_for_slicing_meat@hotmail.com
It stems from a conversation I had with Genevieve about Michelle Branch, and I was inspired. Or something.
Meanwhile - word on Michelle Branch's disc... I lept in there with "Everywhere" and "All You Wanted" in mind... Not at all really like it. However, not entirely bad. Out of 11, there are a stable 9. And any discriminating listener should check out her "Drop in the Ocean", which I love and will therefore never find it as a single... The utter crap that is "Goodbye to You" is her next one, I think.

Also, praise the gods and goddesses that Meat Loaf so totally rocks. Yay!

Yeah, ok, so I'm going to say bye for the time being.
Downloading "The Look of Love" by Diana Krall right now... Yay Audiogalaxy.
