i can't sleep. last night a little after seven owen called, and upon hanging up at 8:45 and watching that 70s show til 9:30, i passed out on the couch. i woke up at 1:36 a.m. and noticed my family had yet to return. i called their cell phone, and doug said they'd be back in around an hour. i made nachos since that grilled cheese and half a waffle was all i'd eaten the day before, and when doug walked in the door around 2:30 he commented on how the cooked beans stunk. mom told me about the game and the crazy chick next to them rooting for the 76ers. she'd yell "allen!" to which the guys in the row in front of them yelled "sucks!" in the beginning of the game, shawn bradley was actually not sucking, so doug and aforementioned yelling men began yelling "bradley" in the same fashion as the girl. after a few times, sarah yelled, "sucks!" after bradley's name, and the guys died laughing. doug's sport influence has gotten into her.
by three mom went to bed, and i re-retired to the couch. i watched the rerun of conan and went back and forth between vh-1 and mtv. watched transformers armada, pok�mon, yu-gi-oh.
poking through last sunday's paper still scattered across the coffee table, i found this. the middle two panels on the last row are just so sad looking. i'm not quite sure how this is comical.
as i was making waffles at 7:10 doug and sarah ambled through the hallway, both staring at the ground with their eyes mostly closed. i cried cheerfully, "get enough sleep?!" my waffles popped up just as sarah reached me and leaned her head into me, so i added butter and syrup, made her chocolate milk, and put them on the table for her, making more for myself. after showing her the yu-gi-oh cards owen sent me (joey's starter deck) we left for school; she has to be there at 7:45.
i lit a cigarette in the school driveway, put in my quiet cd, and headed down young to green, passing the aparment complex in which i did cocaine and tended to a newborn because his mother was too fucked up. i stopped by the store to get doug some coffee, chocolate milk mix for sarah, and medicated face pad type things for me. i haven't had any sort of acne-fighting power for about a month, so i'm starting to get little red bumps. they're not developping into anything, but knowing i could one day grow something bothers me.
when i got home i made doug coffee and talked to him while cleaning the kitchen. i'm a designated housewife today. when i finish this, i'll go clean the living room, take my parents' clothes draped across half the kitchen table to their room, do laundry, pick up some lunch for doug (he's downtown on jury duty all day save for when he'll come home from noon to 1:30). i was looking forward to actually cooking something, but mom just told me to get him subway. i haven't had subway in a while, but then again it's not like it's something special: cheesey bread, turkey, swiss cheese, salt, pepper. cole also only asks for salt and pepper, so i feel less strange. ah, the days of living on campus and having cute guys at the heavy metal subway exclaim, "no veggies girl!" when i stepped through the door.
i'm also going to go to the library and use sarah's card to get some more pre-adolescent books under my belt. even i can read through them quickly, and i appreciate that.
i was supposed to have my ticket for running a stop sign paid by today, but i forgot about it. i'm going to call utpd and ask what to do. yet another thing to be fucked up. oh! and i didn't leave my timesheet at work. if i can't overnight it to someone so it gets there tomorrow, i'm royally fucked. wee complications.
i really like my quiet cd, though; the only place it doesn't flow greatly is between "jellyfishes" and "ana," since "ana" begins rather loudly. i'm hoping it can get me through the weekend:
"soco amaretto lime," brand new
"left and leaving," weakerthans
"pamphleteer," weakerthans
"my sundown," jimmy eat world
"nanou 2," aphex twin
"cliffs," aphex twin
"beetles," aphex twin
"jellyfishes," koop
"ana," pixies
"mushroom compost," �-ziq
"fling," built to spill
"waiting for the night," depeche mode
"inside," moby
"everything in its right place," radiohead
"mad lucas," breeders
"volcano," damien rice
"house of the rising sun," the animals
there were tons more i wanted, but they didn't fit. i may have to make a volume 2. i only listened to three of the songs i'd downloaded, yet miraculously i managed to get correct, complete copies of everything else.
<3, chels.
