4 cups of coffee so far today:
ok, I went to my toastmasters meeting this morning. It ends at 8 a.m. After I leave, I always feel: tired, sallow (I don't know what this means except that I have low energy), and like the day has too much promise because I've already done so much before 8 a.m. Too much promise that I can't live up to?? I'm not sure. As I walk out, I like to see the eager beavers eating at the IHOP at 8 a.m. I like to see what they are eating. This girl was eating french fries at 8 a.m. (Now you have the scoop). A woman who shall remain nameless at the toastmasters meeting was wearing a shirt that looked like it was from a garage sale. If you are a regular reader and in toastmasters, don't worry, it wasn't you. The other day I looked at a dress at a yard sale, but I didn't buy it.
My neighbor downstairs creeps me out--I haven't been nice to him lately, but should you be nice to someone who is creeping you out??? I'm sorry if he reads this and is offended, but I should be able to live in peace. I'm saddened that I'm leaving my apartment, and i'm leaving bc I DO need to move back home, but he doesn't make it any more pleasant. ok, maybe this blog is a lame way to express how I feel about my neighbor, but I don't care.
going to go get ready to move,
alice, bbb

in honor of Wes Berggren
Hi:
Yesterday I lit a candle in honor of Wes Berggren, who died in my apartment nine years ago. He died nine years ago yesterday. He was a guitarist in Tripping Daisy. I lit a candle to honor him--then I sung a little bit of the song "I've Got a Girl," even though I don't know all the words. ("I've got a girl, she'll argue anytime," -- that's my favorite line). So that was my little tribute. Nothing mysterious happened, but after I lit the candle a frame with a Van Gogh print on it fell eerily off the table (gasp).
I know it's long, but if you want to find out more about Wes Berggren, you can type in this site:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripping_Daisy#Wes_Berggren_and_Tripping_Daisy
I also lit a candle (outside) for my apartment because I am sad that I am leaving. The candle was in honor of my apartment and my time there. A black SUV was driving by and I decided it was my witness to my goodbye-candle.
um, thats all I have now. The other day i was in Starbucks (in uptown, no I don't go to uptown all the time and probably won't be going for a while), and this guy reminded me of one of my characters in the short story I am writing. Except he had a loud, very annoying laugh and my character does not have a loud laugh. So my character must be cooler.
ok, that's all blogger kids,
Sing "I've Got a Girl" in the shower, or not in the shower,
(I'll start--"I've got a girl, she wears high heels.")
chillax,
alice

in mourning
Dear Blogger Friends:
I am in mourning because CD World closed. I went there Sat. (Greenville Avenue store) to get a CD cleaned (my Faux Fox CD) and to get an oasis CD and it was closed; there was a sign on the door saying they had closed for good. This is unfair. I am going to be mourning for a while. I liked both stores--I think I liked the Greenville Avenue store more, though. Dallas will be lacking an important institution forever. R.I.P. CD World.
I went to the state fair the other day. I'm a funnel cake eating mama, and I also tried Ropa Vieja con Arroz Blanco (meat with rice) from the Cuban stand. Both items I tried at the fair were delicious. I didn't know what to get from the stand so i got this.
I went to Mi Escuelita Monday (preschool where I sub), and during lunch I overheard a conversation between one teacher (don't know her name) and Miss Brazil. The teacher who remains nameless said that she already has one child and that she got her tubes "tied, cut and burned" so that she doesn't have any more children. She elaborated more but that is the main crux of what she was saying. Nice lunchtime conversation. Good thing I was only eating Lunchables.
I saw 80 Tony Romo jerseys at the state fair the other day. Also, Jessica Simpson has a new perfume, "Fancy." I saw on ET tonight that she said she wants it to smell like a "southern night." Is this what Tony Romo smells at night???????????????????????????????????????????????? I will not be buying her perfume or going near it.
The Coldplay concert Nov. 19 at the American Airlines Center is sold out. I found out last week. It sucks, I have to look for tickets on Craigslist.
going to go now,
bow down to funnel cakes, Coldplay and Oasis,
stay chill,
alice

I'm only happy when it rains and Ne-Yo Rocks: Come Closer
i'm only happy when it rains... seriously, this is not to sound like the Garbage song, but I love the rain. I love how it looks and I love feeling it on my face and I love watching it (when I'm inside). It's raining right now, and I was going for a walk and I just thought of that song. you, blogger fans, get the benefit of my Rain Walk observations. I'm also happy when I listen to Alkaline Trio.
The other day I was in Terminal D of Dallas/Fort Worth Airport (international terminal) picking up my dad, and I was in the line for Au Bon Pain (it was the only place where you could get food) and this is what I heard (from a girl behind me, in her early 20s, talking to her friend): "She's just crazy. I think she's bipolar, and I mean that in a nice way." I wanted to turn around and say something but I didn't. Those are just the facts ma'am, just the facts.
Also at the international terminal that day: I was buying a Cosmo from the Newsstand and the guy working there (who was from Egypt) told me I looked nice. Lauren Conrad is on the cover of Cosmo and he pointed to the magazine and asked me if I liked her, and I said yes, even though I don't, but at least she's on the cover of Cosmo, and he said, "she looks nice, like you." So that was my moment of being compared to Lauren Conrad.
I like that song by Ne-Yo, "Closer." I also like Ne-Yo. If you haven't heard of him, look him up. One site is: http://www.yearofthegentleman.com.
I hate going to the dentist. I went Monday, and I just hate going and having them stick things in your mouth. Having weird utensils stuck in your mouth is not a pleasant experience.
There is a really good book called The Future Has A Past, by J. California Cooper. I read it a long time ago but just dug it up recently. So grab a copy if you get a chance. In fact, buy it!! Now.
Being happy when it rains,
bbb/Alice

Dr. Ross' info and praying to my napkin holder
I was praying to my napkin holder (not kneeling in front of it, just looking at it and praying--there is a picture of Jesus on it) that I would write a good blog, so here goes: (may the napkin holder be with me):
I was in the dentist's office today and my dentist, Dr. Louis Ross (who always goes off on tangents) started talking about how he was on a softball trip recently with his teenage daughter and a bunch of teenage girls, and how one of the girls on the bus was lactose intolerant and had eaten a bunch of cheese and drank milk, and she kept farting the whole way. People always tell me funny things. yay, NDH always gets the gossip.
I think the guy who sits next to me in my photography class has a mistress. He has a blackberry and it is always going off (he never answers it--he keeps it on vibrate). He's older (maybe in his 40s) and v. chubby. anyway, this is just my observation. I haven't said probably more than one sentence to him.
The other day, I got my hair cut at Salon on the Creek in Coppell, and my hairstylist informed me that she had indigestion because she had eaten spicy fish and broccoli for lunch. It was TMI, but then again, I asked.
You must buy the album This Is Not the World by the Futureheads--an awesome album I am drooling over. I bought it in England, and when I asked for The Futureheads at the record store (I forgot the name--something like Zassi records) the guy actually knew what I was talking about. They are from England and sometimes people here haven't heard of them. Please buy the album, you won't be dissapointed.
Also when I got my hair cut the other day, I was going to go almost blonde but the hairdresser talked me out of it (do blondes have more fun??) But I have a new phrase: short-haired girls do HAVE MORE FUN. way more fun.
enjoy the word super chillsauce and Big Bite hot dogs from
7-11.
peace,
