days keep going by

HI.

wow i'm bored right now. woooowwwww so bored. i'm at work. it's 4:21pm. i've been here since noon. i'm here until 10. and then i'm 'on-call' until 8am. oh man it feels like i've been here a million hours.

i hadn't worked for three months, and now it feels like i never stop. it's harder too because i have to keep the baby monitor on all night, even when i'm in my apartment. so, that keeps me up. it makes 'intercom-type' monitor noises. and then when the baby wakes up, i wake up.

this morning, i got into bed at 2:45am. finally fell asleep around 4am. was awake from 5:30 - 6am. and then awake again from 7 - 8am. i was literally counting down the minutes until i could unplug the phone and shut off the monitor.

it's AMAZING how much better i sleep when i'm not working. like, i usually have no sense of anything when i'm asleep. but ever since i started working this job, i can DEFINITELY tell that i sleep better when i'm not on the clock. or, if i'm away from the house for a night.

ANYWAYS.

watched Remember Me last night. the one with Robert Pattinson and Claire from Lost. and Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper. i had heard from someone that they didn't like it, and from two others that they loved it. so - i was going in pretty neutral.

and i was kind of liking the movie all the way through. it was funny in parts. Robert Pattinson. ya know. but i was kind of thinking.... "what is this movie about?" like, it wasn't really going anywhere. kind of the same old story that we've all heard 1,000 times over.

AND THEN THE ENDING COMES OUT OF FREAKING NOWHERE!

i'm not going to tell you how it ends. but - i didn't like it. for a few reasons. it totally turned the movie into something i didn't want it to be, and didn't expect it to be. it seemed unnecessary and forced. dislike.

it was crazy. i kept thinking, "oh my god this isn't going to happen...this isn't going to happen." BUT YEP. it happened. you should see it and then tell me if you saw it coming.

i just didn't like it. sorry all you Remember Me fans.

but other than that... there's not much going on.

i'm getting really excited for all my concerts coming up. let's recap, shall we?

July 23 - Rooney and Hanson; Cape Cod, MA
July 24 - Crash Kings; Portsmouth, NH
July 31 - River City Extension; Sayreville, NJ (tentative)
Aug 3 - Crash Kings; Boston, MA
Aug 4 - Crash Kings; Providence, RI
Aug 5 - Crash Kings; Burlington, VT
Aug 8 - River City Extension; Boston, MA

if all these dates happen - it will be AWESOME. the RCE in NJ is tentative because i don't know if i'd have anyone to go with. they're opening for Gogol Bordello, which from my online research is a gypsy punk band. i bet it's pretty cool music. oohhhhh i love River City Extension.


i'm eating trail mix right now and it's great. i love eating the m & ms with the almonds :)


ok it's 5pm. GETTING CLOSER to the time where i can go home. but still keep working.

oh guess what?!?

KARA'S HERE!!!! for a visit until tomorrow! she arrived around 2pm! we hung out in the staff office for a while and now she's upstairs in my apartment taking a nap. wish i was doing the same!

ok. i think that's pretty much it.

John Tucker Must Die was playing in the living room. that ended, and Baby Mama just started. ohhhh Tina Fey you are wonderful.

OK. i think now that's it. i might start my logging for tonight so i can maybe head upstairs at 9 instead of 10.

i hope everyone is having a great day! and a great evening! and a great whenever you are reading this!!!

take care!!!!!

  1. They're opening for Gogol Bordello? Which means...you're going to a Gogol Bordello show?

    OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!

    Sorry Julie, I'm sure the CKs are excellent, but they will never outduel my love for Eastern European Gogol Bordello Badassery. And that duel would be clavichord vs. accordion. Oh yeah.

  2. PS - Tell them to come back to Austin so that you can come visit me. They can bring Gogol too.
