Hoodoo Voodoo

I'm starting to realize how much I like my new job in L.A. I work at a furniture store in 2 different locations, one in L.A., one in Hermosa Beach. Today I'm at Hermosa Beach and was lucky to be visited by my manager/friend who bought a huge lunch, cookies, rice krispies, sodas and other goodies for us. I have ingested WAY too much sugar and caffeine today which are making me a little like a highly alert chicken.

Some really loud people were talking outside which turned out to be two guys who had collided cars. I watched them discuss this fender bump from where they couldn't see me. I'm so nosy.

There is a family who apparently owns a lonely and very vocal parrot near this store. We keep all the doors open and by mid afternoon said parrot gets very squacky. (sp?) sqwak squack squak - how do you spell that? Too lazy to look it up on google. sorry.

There was a spirit or ghost in here last weekend so I brought sage and white candles in here this morning and "cleansed" the place. I was telling my manager about it and said jokingly "Im a witch, I pick up on these things" She really believed that I was a witch. I'm so out there that those types of jokes are usually taken as fact or perhaps an explanation for why I act the way I do. The store has better energy now.

I've really got to poop but I'm always worried someone will come in when I'm stuck in the bathroom.

I ate another frosted sugar cookie. Oh man. I'm going to be sick.

I went to IKEA yesterday which was redonkulous as usual.

boring blog #345

I like sports?

Lately I have been watching an abnormal amount of soccer, football and baseball.
This is due to:
a) living with a boy who likes sports
b) actually starting to like watching (not playing) sports
c) Stuart Scott



I'm a big fan of Stuart Scott from ESPN. He makes it much more fun to watch.



Here he is posing for a picture with a disabled fan. I love people with a heart for those less fortunate than them.

Stuart Scott for President! Or new and upcoming movie star!

Back From the Dead!!!!

It's been a long, hot and eventful summer where I deigned it necessary NOT to write my every neurotic thought and movement in this blog but instead devoted myself to my myspace blog. This is a terrible start.

Events of Note Out of Order:
1) Moved to L.A.
2) Got a jorb (furniture store w/ friends)
3) Got a cool place near Melrose
4) Saw Bill and Whitney who came from San Fran to visit
5) Saw Tom and Mark
6) Drove through Arizona and New Mexico
7) Hung out with Allison before I moved to L.A.
8) Didn't work all summer and got paid ha
9) Saw my mom in Texas
10) Found a good BBQ place in Hollywood
11) Ate at a Dennys for the first time (gross)
12) Got all new furniture for our living room including a wickedly awesome couch
13) Was visited by a ghost at work
14) Learned how to drive in L.A.
15) Met some cool new people

It has been a crazy past few months which involved planning, packing, moving, stressing, running and all other frantic transition activities.

This is a brief and overwhelming entry - not that anyone checks this site anymore. Now I can start dropping mental diarrhea again. yay for you.

Lunes

My lip hurts so bad b/c of a damn canker sore. They always take around a week to finally dissapear. You can see my pulse in the big, bump where the sore is. Gross.

The kids are really liking Anne Frank's Diary. We're reading the play and watching the movie. They love it when the Van Daans get in a fight.

I went to the Masquerade outdoor theater to see Modest Mouse on Saturday. I will never see a show there again. The retarded crowd, lack of stage visibility, death-choke amount of smoke and porta-pottys really made me NOT enjoy the evening. There were WAY too many 18 year olds who were high and drunk and screaming and crashing into people. I couldn't see the stage at all. Maybe I'm getting older and grumpier, but I don't see how anyone could enjoy not seeing a show and f-ing around like that after they paid to get in. I wish I had brought a bat with me.

PS to my grouchy coworkers - it's not my fault you didn't get any sleep last night. don't be an asshole to everyone else.

I went to see Arcade Fire last night in the ATL. It was an amazing show. Their new album is pretty awesome.
This compter sucks. It's the school loaned laptop from Dell. It has a shitfit if I open 2 browswers at the same time. Sadly, I'm back to my robo-dino-slomo HP after this. Time to start saving for a Macbook...
I'm attempting to teach my lowest class about the holocaust. They are absolutely uninterested and bored with it. I worry about people who aren't moved by mass murder and enslavement. How will they be when they are running things?
On a lighter note, it's a beautiful day.

I got a ticket in front of my house yesterday. Seriously, about 20 feet from my driveway. Some dumbass sheriff followed me down my street and put on all the blue lights to inform me that my tag was expired. Then, it took him 20 minutes to write a ticket and make sure I wasn't wanted for meth sales and production. I can understand a ticket for speeding, running a stop sign or even not using your blinker. I think I deserved a warning for the tag, though. The fat old lady with the moustache at the DMV told me today that I didn't own the title to my car when she didn't punch in my liscence # correctly. Guess again, sasquatch!

Well, enough ranting for today. 2 more full weeks of school and I'm officially taking a break.

My sister is most likely moving to Miami from Boston for a job promotion. Now it will be easier to go see her. Yay. And Miami will be more fun to visit in the summer.

I might go see Arcade Fire tomorrow night in Atlanta.

I might be crazy.
