Night before last there was

Night before last there was a guy sitting on the curb between 2 cars parked across the street from the apartment. He was drunk and drinking and ocassionally yelling things like "Dicks on satellite!" followed by weired slurred laughter and coughing. This guy honestly sat there for hours, directly across from the bedroom window, and just shouted something every few minutes or so. It was kind of humerous in hind sight, but at the time he was really pissing me off because he was interfering with my late night viewing of Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring. And he was across from my bedroom for christ sake. Not that cool, guy.

And mike is out of town, so it was just me and the hobbits and the drunk guy sitting on the curb.

Here was my day yesterday:

1) wake up and scoot over to Elizabeth's for waffles and fruit salad, look at wedding photos of her and her HUSBAND. Weird and cool.

2) sit on eliz's bed and start planning this year's beauty pageant. Just because we all moved out of that house doesn't mean Clinton St. Pageant has to die! Its going to have the theme of: The Future. It will be 2004 after all. But we're thinking the version of the future that was invented in the 60's, with silver silhouettes of space shuttles and planets and sexy people with glass bubble head space suits.

4) Go to OMSI and watch an omnimax show based on the international rythmic roots of the performance group STOMP. My first time ever at OMSI. I liked it, even though some of the african tribal dance groups seemed to be wearing leather mini skirts with tassels and matching halter tops. Two different groups from two different countries thousands of miles apart were infact wearing the same skirts. Maybe there is some international african tribal dance costume mail order catalog.

5) Scoot over to Reed's to bring him cookies and monitor progress on the rock opera. Things are looking good. Amazing even, if a little behind schedule. I can't wait to see it all together to see if it actually makes any sense. I also can't wait to go to the Press Screening, for which Jona has assured me that I will get "red carpet treatment" and be payed $7000.

6) Have eliz and johanna over for dinner to try out our new mini BBQ. Works like a charm! Perfect for balconies and small patios! On its stealthily designed double layer grill, we cooked garden burgers, toasted buns, and made vegetable skewers with a tangy Trader Joes balsamic vinigarette basting sauce (aka salad dressing). It was such a perfect night for sitting on the balcony for hours and having long conversations that all of my neighbors could hear.

I love summer! Too bad I only have one more week of it.
