I would never really know what to say until it's been said

I woke up this morning (hey, it's still morning, even if it's late) with "Everything Goes Around The Water" by the Delgados in my head. It's times like that I'm glad I listen to so much music, because it certainly makes stumbling out of bed and looking for breakfast more, I don't know, cinematic or something.

In something approaching actual news, today sees both my review of the new Milosh record and a Seconds piece on Interpol's "PDA".

I wake up every morning screaming along to the Cow's Sexy Pee Story album. it's sorta cinematic. kinda.

Every morning?

I'm guessing what your subconsciousness pitches at you when unconscious reflects your real tastes, which means I'm indie (as much as I'd deny it), and I guess you're... psychotic?

i won't deny that label. not for a second.

Admittedly, I only heard the Cows once or twice, and probably via Brad to boot. But screaming music usually doesn't hit my heard until I've been up for a couple of hours, you know?

In the morning I get stuff like the Delgados and Magnolia Electric Co and the Wrens. I am a sap?

Mmmm well, the cows are a bit more toned down from the days where the blood brothers or boris used to occupy the alarm/cd player thing. Admittedly I had Ted Leo's Tyranny of Distance on there for like a year straight too at one point. I can be a sap too.

(I have only heard four Ted Leo songs, although I liked them all. Is "Me And Mia" actually pro-eating disorder, or am I crazy?)

no, you're not crazy. those guys are mostly anorexic too. 'cept Chris. He seems to have a tiny bit of a beer belly these days :o)

and you can listen to more than 4 ted leo songs just by clicking the audio link on the ted leo website. DO IT.

Uh, I really should be getting ready for work. But I will later, I swear.

yeah yeah sure whatever. I've had too much experience with that excuse to not know what it really means.

So, uh, what does it actually mean?

...wow. All that from "I have to get ready for work"?

I actually was making lunch, getting dressed, etc. by the way. I try not to date vapid women, attractive or not.

Also, condolences?

well keep your standards up. us less attractive non-vapid girls need some sense of false hope.

and I'll be ok. no worries. i'm used to it. :o)

how was the baloney-and-mustard sandwich you made? i had a chicken caesar salad for lunch that was ok, but not worth $9. Good thing I wasn't paying.

I actually finally gave in to temptation and ate these two slices of pizza someone had left in the fridge since last Wednesday.

Because honestly, at that point it's not stealing. It's just disposing of them without throwing them out. They were okay - the one with green peppers was better.

And given the gender balance in Guelph (i.e. lots of girls) and the troubles I have finding any less-attractive (not actually an accurate term!) non-vapid women are ridiculous. I could use some false hope too.

week old pizza.... that sounds kinda gross. but hey! if green peppers help, then congrats on the meal.

you should move here. montrose is the land of artsy-music-dork guys getting really hot girls, sometimes vapid and scenester-y, but sometimes not so much. Hence why I've yet to have a single functioning relationship in this area. yet. Just give me some time. Or a face transplant. or something.

but have false hope! us accurately titled less-attractive non-vapid girls exist somewhere in the world.

Yay! False hope!

The next party I throw will totally be a False Hope party.

you throw parties?? I'll come to your next one. maybe. as long as it's in houston, that is

Well, occasionaly I'll invite a bunch of people to come over to my place. That counts as a party, right?

Sadly, Houston does not seem to be on the itinerary anytime soon. Some friends are going to Vegas, but I can't even afford to go with them.
