when it's nice outside...

i don't usually write in this. last friday and saturday were so nice. friday, although cooler, was way nicer because the sun was out.

anyway, death cab for cutie was friday. i rode my bike to work and back and to the show and back. 22 miles round trip. the show was good. i like going alone, even though i like going with one person who i can just say something to every once in a while. but it was good. i bought a shirt, and while i was buying it some girl found money on the ground and asked if it was mine, which it wasn't but no one took it so i did. $11, so the shirt only ended up costing me $9. yay! anyway, went to gold star after to meet lanny. erin was lanny style wasted, which was surprising, and lanny was just fine. i ran into james, who was with a friend named brian. brian is cute. i didn't really get to talk to him very much until i was leaving. i talked to mikey and jamie mostly. brandy was in town again, made out with some boy at the bar and then left with him. two make outs at gold star that night. i was going to go talk to james so i could maybe talk to brian, and when i looked over he was making out with some girl. i guess she's all drama though.

anyway, i left without really talking to brian, but luckily he seemed to seek me out. i was about to get on my bike when he came up and started talking to me about bikes and then his class that he was showing the outsiders to (he teachers special ed to 7, 8 graders). the three of us walked for about four blocks. cute cute cute. we're facebook friends now. ah, technology.

saturday, lunch at sunrise. jt was there. he's balding in such a funny way. like mange. ha! bowling for nicole's birthday and then dinner at mat and amanda's. amanda made this brisket with some sort of sauce and home made speitzel. it was so fucking good. ea and i went to margie's for banana nut sundays after. we ate them outside. yeah, i said it, OUTSIDE. it's so nice to be able to be outside. well, at least until sunday.

i had gotten two tickets to the opening ceremony of the holocaust. i took erin. we got there at about 10:30am, didn't start until about noon. it was maybe 45 outside and rainy. bill clinton spoke, as did elie weisel. he was amazing. a holocaust survivor who now is a professor and a pulitzer prize winner. we froze and then when it was over it was an unbrella cluster fuck. there was a lot of dripping and poking and people stuck together.

sunday night was this american life. so good. dan savage pretty much made the whole audience cry with his story of his mom dying.

and now, it's just been raining for three days straight. i wish it would stop already. it's supposed to be almost 80 friday and saturday. can't happen fast enough.

i wish i could do pilates every day.
