the montreal trip is off. jill and eliz's friend's mom croaked, which is sad. it is also sad that the trip is off. i have to get up early in the morning to convince northwest that they should waive my refund fee because i am afraid of SARS. i'd do it tonight but apparently worldperks doesn't employ 24/7 phonemonkeys. what's up with that? on the plus side, this means i won't have to miss a pistons playoff game.

btw, can you say BEST RECORD IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE? i thought so.

spent all afternoon wrestling with wordperfect at dad's office this afternoon. i hate that program, it is such a bastard. i wish he'd just convert to word.

also i finally got tweakxp to work regged on my computer. hurrah for that.

one week til postal service!

so gabe calls me yesterday afternoon to tell me it's evan's birthday and i should come to kzoo and surprise him. too bad i had to babysit. but because i am crazy i earned my $40 (yum) babysitting nextdoor from 2-8p and then drove another 2 hours -- door to door! -- to the festivities. definitely shouldn't have had that last black russian, but damn those hotdogs were good. of course, so was evan, even if he likes that katie bitch more.

now i have to watch some more jewvies for the jewish film fest. i think i also have to spend all this week writing/compiling summaries of them. i am daunted.

saw mr lif and akrobatik (and ,a href="http://www.switchhiphop.com/">switchstance, who were also pretty good and not just because the grandaddy-looking one was wearing a stons hat) at the blind pig on friday night with joseph. i heart joseph so. we drank out of a pint of captain in a parking lot, which would have been cool if we weren't kind of paranoid of cops. it all worked out though. yeah. i love me some hiphop, i really do.

went to the stons-spurs game with gabe and kellie tonight.

ben got hurt. there go our playoff hopes.

i really hope tayshaun breaks out next year so i can do a feature on him and open it with a discussion of what happened tonight. he's the one that fell into ben's knee, and the poor kid was so upset that he actually sat down on the bench and cried. i mean he really was crying. poor kid.

gah, poor pistons.

since i looked at this page full of spiders, i have found three huge (but not as huge as on that page) hairy spiders on my bathroom floor. what is going on? did they know that i was looking at their brothers in arms, all eight of them? whatever the reason, it is creepy.

it's a paycheck day. this means it is a good day.

okay, okay, i'm posting, i'm posting. more stuff is in the archives, i guess, if you care.

i went bowling with the retards today. have i mentioned that i bowl with retards every thursday now? i don't like referring to them as that because it just feels wrong, they're special needs, but really, i mean, a spade's a spade. but because i don't feel comfortable with that language it shall heretofore be referred to as "bwr".

bwr is really, really fun, btw. and also a little sad, since i am usually beaten by at least two or three of them. but i have a great time, in a totally not-making-fun-of-anybody way. it's just.. fun. so if you're ever in the dtw area and find yourself with nothing to do at 4p on a thursday, check me at langan's on 14 and northwestern. i'll be the one getting her ass kicked by the downs kid.
