self-titled: ^_^
the spaces in between
so yesterday was my first day at work on the phones. it was scary at the beginning, but got easier as the night went on. my biggest concern isn't sounding like an ass to the prospects, but sounding like an ass to the supervisor. but i got a whopping 2 contributions from my list of non-donors. which actually isn't that bad considering i only talked to 10 or less prospects.
after work it was of course time to drink. throughout the day, katie and i were on the phone remembering the night before, and realizing all the many things we couldn't remember during our epic powerhour. of course, nothing we did last night could match thursday's glory. mike katie and i powerhoured, and i got drunk and we went to steph's and i left about 15 minutes later because i wanted to go pass out. and i did just that. and i had some fucked up fucked up dreams. nothing epic, nothing really interesting, just bizarre. in one of them i was at a record store talking about the cub version of "new york city" vs the tmbg version. i think i bought a cub record.
i woke up to my alarm at 8am this saturday morning. "oh shit," I thought, "i'm way too drunk to go to work." and then i hit snooze. I was worried, because my roommate was actually in his bed, and i go through like 4 snoozes and that'd probably piss him off. No problem though since at the first snooze, i thought "wait, i think it's saturday" and turned off the alarm.
Caught breakfast a little later and then i went down to cambridge.
planet records: billy joel - 52nd street, streetlife serenade, and cold spring harbor (which, jude, is the 1983 remaster) r.e.m. - life's rich pageant, csn - csn lps. that dog - retreat from the sun, paul westerberg - 14 songs cds.

money spent: like 90 bucks or so.
i also went all the way around the universe trying to track down a record player. I eventually found myself, desperate, in radioshack. I asked, and then the guy took me into the backroom and told me he has 4 players he wants to get rid of. come back tomorrow or monday and i can check it out and take it. score.
then i had some miserable pad thai at the cheesecake factory, and then went to see planet of the apes, which i enjoyed a great deal. it was just fun seeing all these people in monkey suits. and the bad ape was tim roth, which fucks me up. too bad the only thing keeping the ending from making zero sense is one quick shot that's hard to see and is very reliant on the viewer to have a keen eye and an incredible memory.
