... then waited 10 - 15 minutes for an officer to actually show up. So I was just standing in the lobby of the station with the alarm blaring.

What did you do today?

Did you run in with a gun drawn and get five stars?

why did you do that?

i just worked on mypaper all day - from 9am til 4pm. almost done.

Answer for realz:

+ Went to the bank, for deposits.

+ Went to Walgreens for to make sure I got the most from the PATRIOT Act. You have to give the pharmacist your DL for Claritin now. Because 15 tabs might be enough to engulf Anne Arundel County, Maryland into a methamphetamine hell pit.

+ Went to my local independent record shop. The take:
Toots & the Maytals :: Funky Kingston/In the Dark [ 2003 ]
Kris Kristofferson :: This Old Road [ 2006 ]
Trail of Dead :: So Divided [ 2006 ]
The Drams :: Jubilee Dive [ 2006 ]
Willie Nile :: Streets of New York [ 2006 ]
Bob Dylan & The Band :: The Basement Tapes [ 1975 ] 2-discs.

The total came to $60.85 after my club card discount, tax included. I thought that seemed low, but it wasn't until I got home that I realized he never charged me for The Basement Tapes. Score.

Since then I've been ripping cds and feeling like crud. But I got tunes, baby, tunes!

My pocketbook was stolen last night, but I couldn't get to the station to file a report until after work. The detective knew I didn't get out until six and told me to come then. The station looked a bit dark, but the door was open so I walked in. AND THE ALARM WENT OFF. I didn't know what to do, so I just stood in the closet sized lobby, figuring that would be better than walking out of an alarm blaring police station. Finally, the [apparently] only cop on duty walked in to me standing in the corner saying "I'm so sorry!".

There's so much more today. I am living in the Twilight Zone.

My friend's brother jacked a dead deer off the side of the road.

I had to ask my mother to bring my birth control refill because the month's supply I hadn't finished yet was stolen with my bag.

Jacked or Jacked off? If jacked off, I don't think the BC would be necessary, because I'm not sure deer sperm can fertilize a human egg. At least not from such a great distance.

I had to hope to god the police officer I encountered hadn't seen compromising pictures of myself when my computer was taken into custody weeks ago (loooooong ass story).

I have absolutely no way to spend money right now. I was on the phone all morning cancelling cards and bank accounts and video rental cards.

... aaaaand so forth and so on.

Just took it off the road. It's pretty illegal.

I also live in the state where a firehouse burnt down.

After everything I made a drinking date with my brother at home (because, well, I can't spend money at the bar) and he stood me up.

I'm still a bit drunk anyway.

you just made 10 straight posts in a row. that has to be some sort of record.

I've been watching The Sopranos most of the day. I took a break to watch 'The Departed' and am back on it. Drinking that wine, too.

In short, I've succeeded in all my goals.

I took money out of my store's petty cash envelope so I could buy cranberry juice on my way home.

Seriously, things could have been so much worse. As it is, this is all pretty funny.

When did you move to Minnesota?

Not really.

i had a weird fucking night. my friend michelle and i were going to go over to cambridge to this soul night but another friend of ours talked us into staying around allston. so we go to this one bar...

common ground - crappy band playing, $5 cover. no thanks
sunset grill - not letting anyone in b/c of a "fire"...i dunno
big city - got in but there was the worst band ever playing and the line at the bar was 3 deep
silhouette - at capacity
the model - finally we got a drink but in the middle of it, my friend's psycho ex shows up at the bar so we have to leave.
the draft - too many yah doods

so we go to a party and finally get some beers but the partys pretty lame so we left after 2 beers. at least they were free.

i walked my friend partway home and then went back to the model where i drank 6 beers in an hour.

fun for me.

Yesterday was like a bad sitcom. I will mourn the loss of horribly personal items in a bit, but for now I'm just going to marvel at the oddity of it all.
