Woah. I actually just e-mailed The Boy to see if he'd like to get lunch when I'm in town this weekend. Totally innocuous, but hugely difficult for some reason... He might not get the e-mail in time, but that's almost easier, because then it's not because of *me*, it's because of my *timing*. Which everyone already knows sucks, anyway...

I do need to remember to get the oil changed on Sputnik before I drive down to NoHo. Stop shaking your head at me, Doug, I'd consider doing it myself but the street is dangerous and the parking area for our apartment is a lake. I'm not crawling around in that. So there. I'm also oddly low on wiper fluid- I put a gallon in just two months ago, and didn't use the car at all for two weeks of that! There must be a slow leak; there aren't puddles under the car, but I don't use the washer fluid that much, I swear. Poor car.

I'm looking forward to getting gas in MA, though, let me tell you. Even on the Masspike, prices are 10 cents a gallon lower than the lowest price in Albany. The 7-11 in NoHo'll be closer to 25 cents a gallon less.

Carolyn seemed a little down on Wednesday about uncertainty about the next year (I know exactly how she feels), so I made her a mix cd. It's called LoveCarolyn (the cover resembles the cover to Love Actually): boys&girls. It seems weird, but it made sense for some reason, I swear. I'd been wanting to make her a mix with Regina Spektor on it anyway, since I knew Carolyn would like her, and just got the new Sirsy CD's so I had a cut of "Waiting for Rain." The songs alternate between one being sung by a girl and the next being sung by a boy, and I wanted something kinda poppy but also soothing. The track list :

Sirsy: Waiting for Rain

The Beatles: Here Comes the Sun

Dance Hall Crashers: Do You Think You're Beautiful

Magnetic Fields: I Think I Need a New Heart

The Ditty Bops: Wishful Thinking

The Mr. T Experience: Ba ba ba ba ba

P!nk: 18 Wheeler

Oasis: Round Are Way

J.A.N.: Dreamin'

Aqualung: Brighter than Sunshine

Alison Krauss: Down to the River to Pray

The Killers: All these Things that I've Done

Dar Williams: Alleluia

Atom & His Package: Upside Down from Here

Regina Spektor: Us

Al Bowlly: Hang out the Stars in Indiana

Magnetic Fields: Come Back from San Francisco

Bo Diddley: Mona

The Pretenders: Brass in Pocket

Bob Dylan: Lay Lady Lady

Magnetic Fields: Reno Dakota

Michael Nesmith: Nine Times Blue

Lojo Russo & Funks Grove: Where There's Smoke

Joey Ramone: What a Wonderful World


If anyone wants a copy, let me know.

My RT reaction is RT-ing away happily in its thermocycler, and will be for the next hour or so, so I'm going to go home and come back before heading out for the 9:35 showing of Bareback Mountain. I mean Brokeback. Yeah. Carolyn and I are going to grab a beer with Crystal at 8ish, then Carolyn and I will continue on to the Spectrum, where we will meet Mya. Perfectly orchestrated, I tells ya.

Oh, and Mya's had the brilliant realization that our next door neighbors (tell the nice kids about their NYE party, Mya) are just like Ebenezer and Snooch from Two Lumps. The analogy is perfect like woah.

the hedge abides.

I would love a copy. I'd also like to see your graphics for the cover.

Too bad, I already gave it to Carolyn. I'll send you a copy though. Remind me if you don't get it in a week or so.

Okie dokie.

"The Boy"... do I know who this is?

I need gossip, meine freundin!

Speak to me, Hedgette!

[hedgiewan.livejournal.com]

He's the same person he's always been, and I'm sure I've talked to you about him, though you certainly don't know him personally.

Also- EVERYTHING on that atom and his package CD is absolutely classic to me. Darin (and I suppose I) have this friend (I like him just fine and vice versa, we just only hang out when darin is in town) whose a COMPLETE hick. But a progressive hick so he's not racist and ridiculously masochistic... at any rate, the only non-country CD that Darin and I have EVER been able to get him into is that Atom CD. And he absolutely LOVES it.

And the kid is a spaz, too.... so everytime both darin and I hang out with him, he ALWAYS blasts it at ridiculous levels and sings through every song... he usually doesn't get that far into the album so, by then, (at which point, I assure you I am ALWAYS very intoxicated), I get to solo sing that song. Either way. I love that song. So much fun.

That was a good story.

don't patronize me. *evil glare*

Don't be so distrusting, turd-face.

Nice Magnetic Fields songs. Also, I heart Upside Down from Here. Thus, I consider it a brilliant mix.

Thank you, thank you. I'm pretty happy with it, myself. Want a copy? Despite car troubles, I may still make it to NoHo tomorrow and could at least drop one in the campus mail.
