Just a boy/totally dressed in corduroy
It's a good thing I do a weekly dj night, or else I'd never update this blog... but instead of just telling you about this edition, i'm actually going to open the door into what's going on in my life.
But first, I'll get the dj stuff out of the way: bearded guest dj - check. music I wanna play: Replacements, Death Cab for Cutie (their new record is really excellent by the way), Postal Service, Magnetic Fields, International Noise Conspiracy, Richard Buckner, Bruce Springsteen, etc, etc... y'know, the usual sorta stuff, with a few curves thrown in there for good measure.
As for what else is new: had my back bike tire stolen... fuckin' jerks. ah well, i guess this is a sign that I should buy a new bike... although i'm hesitant to buy one now, when the winter's coming and I don't know where I'll keep a shiny new bike all winter. So I may buy a very basic, cheap ride, which is all I really need. If anyone has any bike buying advice, I'm all ears...
I may give my old bike to bikes to cuba, who have set up shop at the car free day events today on Concord Ave. south of Bloor (just south of my house). Speaking of which, if anyone reads this in time, they're playing a movie called the End of Suburbia in the parking lot of Long & Mcquade on Bloor at 8pm tonight, which should be cool.
Also, I hung out with Paul on Wednesday. Our usual talk of socialism and baseball also included a discussion on the benefits of corduroy pants. Stay tuned for a gallery of corduroy pants. Feel free to send me pictures of your corduroy pants; i'll post them!
Other than that, not much is new. I didn't accomplish as much as I wanted this week (dj night posters remain unfinished, and I still have some other design stuff I need to do). I'm sort of feeling like I'm at a crossroads now... I'm nearly ready to quit my job, I may wanna move outta my house soon, and I'm trying to figure out what to do next. Ever since I got back from my trip to Spain, etc, back late last year, I haven't really made any long term plans. I had stuff I wanted to do, and I've accomplished very few of these things so far because I was working too much for the most part. Even over the past month I've been part-time, I've added extra shifts pretty often, because I was a bit worried about money. which was a stupid way of thinking, I think... there's too many other things I wanna do that I need the time for. I'm approaching the one-year anniversary of when I left for that trip (Oct. 10), and I'm either going to start developing long term plans soon via a new job, and some other changes, or else I may just find a new adventure and skip town. I'm determined to quit my job before the end of the year, and if i don't have another, i'll probably skip town again for a while. That's all I've managed to figure out so far. Most of this week, I've been sorta down, because I haven't been productive enough. I've been sleeping in wayyy too much... and I'm wondering why I don't have that thing in my life that makes you wanna get out of bed in the morning (that is, besides the crappy job that *forces* you out of bed in the morning), and I'm wondering what that thing is for me.
Anyway, that's my little rant for the week...
also, check out my new links on the right side of the page... in particular, I've discovered the flying spaghetti monster, the deity of a religion whose followers dress in pirate outfits, are called "pastafarians", and, well, that's just the tip of the iceberg really.
