The electric kool-aid acid test

okay, so, this work & school gig is insane. undertaking three classes in addition to four days a week of work was obviously very ambitious on my part.

i was in class last friday, sitting there, starting to stress about assignments and such, when i thought, "no one is actually making me do this", so i've decided to drop a class or two. one of them focused on interactive television, which i have no love for, so yeah, that's my long-winded explanation for why i've not posted in a while...

of Montreal was kinda fun. they played at sydney university and pulled a lot of hipsters (i honestly didn't think sydney had any!) i was in the front row and dancing with some bloke sporting a pair of silver skin tight lycra leggings. even so, i have to admit that it wasn't that great. maybe they were jet-lagged or something, but Kevin Barnes was relatively subdued. they clearly perform their best when they're in new york.

as for my non-existent love life, some promising news. the little blonde-haired girl on my bus hasn't a wedding ring. she still has the constant male companion though, and he did recently bleach his hair snow white like hers (lame!), but still, no wedding ring. i hope they're siblings, but that's just me in denial.

hey, wasn't that footage of doug and mike just too good to be true? though, i have to say that i was both really surprised and a bit disappointed that jabba didn't go nuts with the vicious insults and usual expletives. and while doug was just being doug, for me, the clip highlighted how much of a gutless side-kick mike really is. who would've thought that during the Edna era, he was harbouring secret feelings for doug and craving the closeness she shared with him? i know i kissed the german back in the seventies, but ewww, i'm still washing out my mouth with soapy water.

now to you... please explain to me why you are still kicking it with the girl and trying to go the friendship route SO SOON? i mean, don't you need to distance yourself from her for a wee bit? why make it harder on yourself? and about finding girls that "keep you on your toes intellectually", that isn't so much the hard part as finding the CUTE ones who like quirky adventures and having fun like you. those are the hard ones to come by.

i'm going to try and do burning man with you in a psychedelic bus (like ken kesey and his merry pranksters). my plans are still up in the air, but i think we both NEED this.

I MISS YOU STU.
