--after two trips to the garment district for supplies for two costumes, i came away tonight with a corset (a period one that is pretty awesome for 8 dollars) and a skirt (that i probably didn't need). i still need a white peasanty shirt and I SEARCHED THE ENTIRE DAMN GARMENT DISTRICT but they did not have one. so if any of you have any ideas... also, would probably love a petticoat, but have no desire to spend 25.00 on one. at the very least, i need to pick up a white t-shirt.

--finding a plaid flannel shirt, a jean jacket, or jean overalls (shorts please) is apparently harder than i thought. apparently we all wore them until they disintegrated.

--i will be at 90s night on friday, and as the above statement suggests, i still have no fucking clue what i'm wearing. my sister is planning on going as a planeteer.

--i think i mildly have the plague. only a tiny bit though. hopefully it doesn't get worse.

OH MY GOD GUYS.

so, I was thinking about 90s themed costumes for the potential 90s night halloween, and my thought process went like this:

"liv tyler in empire records..."
"empire records cast, that would be so cool if you had a bunch of people..."

.....

"OH MY GOD SOMEONE COULD BE REX MANNING"

seriously, on the off chance i went as corey someone would HAVE to go as rex manning with me

currently i have no internet and cable because they accidentally shut off the apartment, no microwave, and my laptop won't connect at matt's house.

boooooo electronics.

...i am only dragging myself to the gym right now because there is 650 dollars on the line. fitting into my clothes again is a very distant second, and being incredibly over weight the most distant third.

so apparently, all it takes is money to make me eat well and work out.

I know this makes me a horrible person, but while I totally feel for the hotel workers who were subject to Hyatt's jackassish move in Boston...

...the Hyatt Place in Mystic was kind of one of my top choices of places to stay next weekend when I go to Connecticut and I'm not too keen on the idea of possibly changing that. damn them for having one of the nicest hotels in Mystic.

look, all i have to say is, i need to stay here sometime in the next few years. it is my new goal.

Dragon's Lair

gawd, i only just started looking into hotels to stay at the last weekend in september and i'm already frustrated. maybe priceline name my own price will be my friend.

the apartment is officially the cleanest it has ever been in at least 5 years.

except of course my bedroom, which still looks like a bomb hit it, but the new roommate, sophia, won't be in there so it doesn't matter.

there is still trash to take out, but the skunks in either direction out my front door put an end to that VERY QUICKLY.

dear friends,

i have downgraded my car, which means my old car, the golden nugget is for sale. if any of you are looking to buy, know someone who wants to buy, etc. PLEASE feel free to pass this along--i needs the cash monies to pay for the repairs on gertrude, my "new" car. the only catch is that the car is in marshfield, but if you aren't too creepy i'm willing to drive you down to take a look at it. i'm going to post this here in my LJ before i post to craigslist. i'm also going to list it on craigslist for 1600, but i love you guys.

1999 Dodge Stratus $1400 O.B.O. (kelly blue book value: $2130)
miles: 113,000
condition: good
color: GOLD, BABY!
things about my car: well maintained, new brakes, one new back tire, 2 recently repaired front tires. car has power locks and windows AND a remote starter. (awesome? yes.) radio, tape player.

if you have any questions, please ask me! i originally had a buyer, and then the stupid 16 year old's mom decided to get a new car and give him her old one.

just saying.

it's hot. seriously.

i am driving to vermont on saturday to spend the evening with my family in the mountains. for one night. 3 1/2 hours up and 3 1/2 hours back. the way up i'll be driving alone. i think i'll take some crazy photos to make it fun. i had to pack tonight because tomorrow night is the wbcn going away party and then friday is work-marshfield fair-matt's house-leave for vermont. i literally just threw a bunch of crap in my duffle bag. my bathing suit is in there, that's really all that matters.

also, beer makes me sleepy, and there's so much to do this week, and i wish i were in brighton.

sleep now.

goodbye 'bcn

are any of you looking to get rid of a bed, either full or queen size? my new roomate needs one, and i'd much rather her buy it from someone i know, rather than some stranger off the internets who may have bugsies.

is there anything you can do with an underripe red pepper? (i.e. it's green). in what can only be described as a tragic moment of loss, i woke up this morning to discover that my red pepper plant had managed to snap itself in half. so now i have this decently sized underripe pepper that is just going to die.

please excuse me while i weep over my lost vegetables.

Sugar Ray with Fastball at the Paradise

i think it's pretty safe to say we're all wondering how i'm not front and center for this show.

please join me in drinking an icy cold beverage in memory of the greatest internship ever. oh wbcn, i may have gotten burned out working all your late night promos in shitty bars in strange towns, but i love you like a fat kid loves cake.

dear craigslist.

diaf.

love,

weasel who can't get her stupid apartment listing to post for an unknown reason.

1. still have the plague. but it is dying down.

2. dropped off my tire to be repaired today. hopefully they can repair it and i won't need a new one. also hopefully. if i bat my pretty little eyes at them, they will put it on my car for me so that i don't have to.

3. last year i actually thought ahead and saved my apartment listing, which means i don't have to write an entirely new one for craigslist. this makes me happier than you can imagine.

4. apparently the walk for hunger is the gift that keeps on giving. and by "keeps on giving" i mean "robbing me of my toenail" sucks.

5. related to #4, i need new sneakers that fit me better.

6. related to #5, i am broker than broke and don't know when i will purchase those. it is going to take some very creative transferring of funds to pay my credit card bill by tomorrow.

7. i really should clean my apartment so that i can list the apartment on craigslist so it is in acceptable condition if anyone comes wants to come by tomorrow, but i'd really rather sleep.

8. texts from last night and f my life are two of the greatest websites ever.

9. i should be at matt's tonight, but the plague.

10. i would like to go on vacation now.

i screwed up my finances really badly this month. apparently i never paid the electric bill. i just had to scrounge around to find the money to make my rent check clear. in order to make my rent check clear, i'm putting off paying my credit card bill until the last possible moment. and basically all of this leaves me with about 10 dollars until next friday and god help me if fast lane tries to take money out of my account because there is nothing there to take.

i'm so screwed. ugh.

note to self:

buy ant traps for matt's apartment.

also, sun? you're on notice. you better come out by the time matt and i get to my aunt's apartment. there's a pool! it's bad enough that the tide chart is denying me a boat ride, don't deny me the pool as well!
