obnoxious freaks for neighbors

March 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I pull up to my building. I could hear, from inside of my vehicle, Matchbox 20 and assumed it was coming from Martini Corner. FALSE. It was coming from inside of my downstairs neighbor’s apartment, and it was being played at top, floor vibrating levels. As I walked past his door, I realized that my neighbor AND HIS FRIENDS were sitting inside the apartment, yell singing along to a Matchbox 20 together. WTF.

Now inside, I am floored by how loud it is. This is Noise Disturbance loud. I can feel Matchbox 20 pulsating in my bed.

Options:

1) get the hose
2) Get the broom, bang the floor
3) go downstairs and scream at them
4) go to bed, hope someone in Overland Park hears the racket and calls the cops
5) Hope ganglords down the street hears the racket and come shoot him for having the worst, whitest taste in music ever

good song, good day

It’s a beautiful day outside! I’m so happy the weather is finally turning around. I think I’ve signed myself up for way too much. I have like a billion things that need to be gone to or done. LIKE:

- Sitting in the park and finishing the DAMN book for book club tomorrow
- Talking sense into sister
- boosting economy with Meagan
- First Fridays!
- Work. Out. It’s been damn near all week since my last hearty sweat.
- Book Club somewhere way out there in Missouri
- Good Juju
- WATCHMEN!! SCREENLAND!!! EXCLAMATIONS!!
- The Blue Desk Project. If I don’t succeed in this, then I will just frame a whole bunch of sh*t and start another project that could get expensive.
- Making or baking something. Last week’s lasagna was a smash.

Also, here’s a groove. Don’t laugh, but I used to all about this CD. Got sick of it, of course, but this song came on this morning and it was perfect. Enjoy.

not creepy AT ALL

not creepy AT ALL

So this is the new Microsoft Live Search Map function. They have prided themselves in kicking Google Earth’s ass (in a small, very new way) with very high-res bird’s eye views of your home. They haven’t reached the West yet, but they will sufficiently creep the rest of the country out with their ridiculously awesome new live mapper.

I just discovered this the other day, and what a GOOD idea! It’s sorta creepy seeing what others were doing at certain times. And by creepy, I mean amazing.

I am kind of obsessed. I currently have 6 things I definitely want, and I have bookmarked like a million etsy shops. Don’t make me explain it, just go there now.

it’s already friday-thursday!?

March 4, 2009 · Leave a Comment

WHAT a queer week. It’s been a mix of enough things to just thank my Ovaltine it’s my Friday tomorrow.

  1. I’m sure you can recall all the going-on’s about my cat. It chirps and meows and yowls constantly (it seems), and it’s cuteness wears off around 10pm when she refuses to SHUT UP. I thought she a violent case of dandruff (?!) and was at my wit’s end after losing a billion hours of sleep. I had bought creams, special food, scratching posts, shampoos, EVERYTHING to fix the alleged dandruff. I email my mate who gave her to me, and we finally solve the mystery: she is IN HEAT. I have been losing sleep and money and sanity over an explosively horny cat. FML.
  2. For obvious reasons, I can’t say much, but my professional life has gotten intense.  I’m trying my hardest not to become an embittered, hardened shrew at the ripe ol’ age of 25. I’m not sure if it’s working. But hey, when it’s tough, it can only get easier right? (*watches financial news*) …oh shit. Nevermind.
  3. I am going to CONQUER my desk this weekend. I might sand my hand off into my first foray into power tools, but dammit, I will PAINT THAT DESK.

Time for a bath and a little less TMZ.
