(magic of 8)

so i've noticed something. my favorite songs always seem to be number 8. even on mix cds. now i wouldn't bet my life, or any amount of money, that the 8th track is always my favorite, but more often than not it is. and it's a little weird. i think it's my lucky number.

(traffic sucks)

made a trip to phoenix this weekend. spur of the moment type trip. didn't even give my friend i stayed with much of a heads up. left on friday at 3:30pm. didn't go over 30mph until 7pm. got in at 12am. whoo. fun. here's some things i discovered:

1. nissan maximas have the most annoying brake lights--round and really bright--obnoxious as hell.
2. i can scream at the top of my lungs and no one can hear me...if the windows are up.
3. horton's cat is vicious. and i have the wounds to prove it.
4. when punching a hole in a shower curtain be careful not to hold your finger near the scissors.
5. chandler, arizona is a nice town with a different class of people. did i say class? i meant breed.
6. there's a bar with more cowboys than i've ever seen in my life. like real life, scary ones. bar brawls, wranglers, and lots of bud light. it made me euphorically happy. plus it was the first time i've felt better than someone and not felt bad.
7. people from south dakota can go two weeks without seeing a black person.
8. a drunk person is more likely to get back on the bull than a sober one. four times more likely.
9. little blue can go 100 miles per hour without breaking.
10. driving back from az is a lot faster than driving to it.
11. california really is pretty.

it was a good trip. just what i needed. i'm glad i went.

(britney)

did anyone watch the diane sawyer special with the wondermus brit? diane was mean. like really wicked. she made my best friend cry. okay, it was a little funny when ms. spears turned to the camera, pointed at her head and through her tears said "strong britney". haha.

i had to leave half way through the interview, which i have to admit i was kind of bummed about. diane was just hitting the iceberg with the little pop princess. anyway, if you did happen to see it, can you tell me what really happened between her and justin?

(afterthought)

alright. i was being a little dramatic. and no one will probably even notice, so i don't know what i'm flipping out about. but it does make you realize how little attention people pay to you. the ones that comment, you know they really look at you when you're talking. or have noticed you. like really noticed. not just dismissed you as somebody else walking down the hall or making copies or eating lunch.

the people that have noticed the cut:
ashley
the girls in my office (the ones i work with closely everyday)
the two gay guys in my office
the guy i had lunch with yesterday (whom i told i was thinking of chopping the locks)

(this weekend was...)

...one of the best weekends of 2003. by far. i was so pleased with this weekend that i'm barely even phased by the departure of someone special and the breakup (over email) that i "just had to do". there was no one thing* that made this last friday, saturday and sunday (& monday too) great, it just was.

halloween was fun and for the first time in a long while i felt like i had a decent costume. even though i only had to purchase one item for it. guess that's a plus. thanks also for all of the "best costume" votes everyone. makes me feel special. ken's was low key and nice. venice was weird and i was not nearly drunk enough to be at the party we were at. then venice was dark. i thought rolling black outs were so last year. maybe not.

saturday was relaxed. coffee, beer, burger, basketball, raf, book, bed. all good things.

sunday was definitely the highlight. i went to the santa monica farmers market with lauren and charles and the gang. played with kai on the playground at the beach. (side note: so not ready for a kid, especially one that likes to go up and down slides--constantly) then we had a beer and appetizers at a very quaint spot on main street. after that we headed to lol's for dinner and wine. i really love when the hardman/burns' cook. it's like a little slice of heaven. bowling followed, where i might add, i bowled a 160 and a 134. holy shit! i know that's what you're thinking. and i'll take any of you any day. busby's was the last stop on our sunday adventure where we played pool and i did not score a 160. and not because it's not possible to "score" in pool but because i was not allowed to play. it was a big boys game. it was okay. i had my stella to keep me company.

i'm not really going to talk about the rest. i'm a bit bored* and well, the rest, you just wouldn't be interested in. so that was my weekend. and if i could give an award or just have an instant replay, i would in a heartbeat. poor me--i've tasted the best and now it's gone.

*i might be lying a little. or a lot.
