to start off, support "A Day Without Immigrants" day today...we're all immigrants (even Native Americans, who came over the Bering Sound land bridge tens of thousands of years ago) and i know i wouldn't be here if they hadn't let my dad's family into the country. you can't keep people out of america just because you don't like their ethnicity.
so, i finished my high school music swap CD...it's so entertaining to pull out all these old songs and put them together. here's the cover (with track listing) i made for the jewel cases. it made me miss making mix tapes (yes kids - i grew up in the age of cassettes) and then writing out the song titles and adding doodles and cutouts from magazines to make them cool looking.
so, i might have jury duty tomorrow. i have to call after 5pm to see if i have to report to the criminal justice center tomorrow at 8:15am...and for anyone who knows me and my schedule, 8:15 is obscenely early and going to make me very, very cranky and uncooperative ;-)
i'll bring a few subversive, blatantly left-leaning magazines with me (namely Adbusters, Bust and Bitch) as well as my laptop and notepad, so i can try to get myself organized. lately, i've felt like i'm constantly racing to catch up on deadlines (either self- or work-imposed) rather than being proactive and being ahead of the game. maybe it's because i've been so busy for the past three years with work and school that now i finally have some down time, i've completely lost my drive and have become the uber-slacker....or maybe i'm just devoting my time to different things (like cooking, which i did miss putting the time into really cooking well), but that still doesn't excuse being late with a few bills, getting overwhelmed with the house/mortgage stuff, not devoting more time to writing the stories floating around in my head, getting all the crap i want to achieve at work and all the other little things i want to do with my free time.
hmmm...maybe i'm being unrealistic about how much time i have and how many things i want to accomplish?
current mood: peppy
current song: "kiss me son of god" by they might be giants

just reading that list brings me back to about the age of 13-14, sitting in my bedroom, listing to the music coming from your room. I remember telling my friends i thought the music sounded funny, but i always looked up to my big sis and secretly thought the music was cool ;P
omg, you've got some really good songs on there. i popped for the sugarcubes, one from my fave album of all life time and space...
