Last night was funny--we tried to go to a show and we were a week early. I don't know why I was under the impression that it was supposed to be last night. So we went back to Nopo and got some Popeye's, which made me think of the hilarious blog entry, "Jesus went to Popeye's" from http://jesuschristscoolblog.blogspot.com/
My friend put the entry on his Myspace blog and I was practically shitting myself laughing. I used to be religious, Catholic to be specific, and having gone through all that I can really appreciate some humor about religion. And I don't think of anything as sac religious because I don't even participate in the whole charade anymore. It's amazing how many years I did!
Got the Popeye's, stopped by the crackhead sketchy Chevron at Fremont & MLK to get somethin to drink, left in one piece from there and headed back to my place. We started to watch this Cold Feet show, which I think my previous roommate put on my Netflix queue, but I found it funny anyway. Probably won't get really into it, but still, the British sure have a way of making domestic home life hilarious. Maybe I still just laugh because of their accents. But I really like some British shows... Like Keeping Up Appearances =]
My new roomie and friend got home with our other friend from grocery shoppin' so I turned off the show cuz we weren't paying attention anyway. You should see my living room now, it definitely looks better than it used to. It just has more cute things. I may put an ad on Craigslist pretty soon here to sell my couch and coffee table, because the homie has better furniture. And I feel like we will be staying here for a minute, probably longer than I'd originally hoped, but oh well. It's so cheap to live here.
All in all I'm happy so far. So nice to have someone livin with me that will be into aesthetics. It looks like 400% more girly in the apartment, haha.
Today's Mother's Day... I got her a nice bar of dark chocolate, a bottle of wine, and some pepper, all from down the street. Only $31 total spent I think. I really like supporting local businesses. The only thing I didn't like was at the nursery down the street, I wanted to buy a few things and the lady was totally talking to me and then these other people from Canada came up and were asking about camellias or something and paying ahead of time, and they got into this convo about getting plants across the Canadian border and I was just kinda like, Um, she was already helping me, eh? But it's not the people's fault, the woman who worked there should've just taken care of me real quick and then helped them.
Most of the time I am really outspoken but when I go to places of business I'm hesitant to speak up and be a slightly angry, demanding customer because I don't want people to cringe when I come back... I dunno, it's kinda ridiculous to settle for poor service though. It's just so hard to speak up! I don't know how people will react.
Well I'll finish up with something to be excited about, and that is the presence of Slightly Stoopid in Oregon on August 8, I think. At McMenamin's Edgefield. I'm pretty sure I will get to go, but I haven't bought tickets yet because I want to make sure we can get there and back! It is, after all, in Troutdale, and I don't have a car.
In case you're a random person reading this, I really like this band, hence the name of the blog. I'd consider myself a "stoopidhead."
