friday-taking requests
i'm auditioning new topics--these are some that elisa gave me last week. let me know what you think, and feel free to offer others.

Things that make me itchy.
unlined wool pants
Things that make me want to get totally wasted.
reading the newspaper
Things that inspire schadenfreude.
enron execs doing the perp walk (not ken lay dying, though. i'm not morbid)
Things that are unheimlich.
the exhibit of dead people at the museum of science (nix and nu went to that last night and the idea of a dead, skinned guy posed as if he was on a skate board, really gives me the heebie jeebies)
Things that appall me.
that our secretary of state got to keep his job in the primary, after allowing petitions to be submitted, even though the people gathering the signatures had misrepresented the cause to the people that signed (i.e. it was really against gay marriage, but they thought they were agreeing that wine should be sold in grocery stores)
Things that remind me of mortality.
low flying planes
Things that are underseasoned.
pad thai, unless i go to the restaurant with my friend c. they take her far more seriously than me.
Things that mutate.
viruses
Things that are cut on the bias.
not things that i sew (i'm not that talented)
Things that are retarded.
charge density; time; potential
Things that trill.
piccalos (especially in stars and stripes forever that two separate friends of mine have had to play)

tuesday-things that displease me
- that i have class on talk like a pirate day, which blows (me down). we are having our fifth annual tlapd party (a pirate potluck) on friday. let me know if you're in the area and want some grog.
- apple. now you have heard me complain about this before. now, they are finally acknowledgingthat i have sent in all my paperwork (after almost a year of sending them copies of things that i had sent them the last time). now they're saying that i need to send them $30. now all the people who didn't really have broken batteries, but were part of the settlement anyway could get a gift certificate for $50. my battery is really broken, and i have to send them money? that also blows (me down).
- arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

monday-things that please me
fire fighters - and kids who want to be fire fighters, especially n. who wanted to make sure if a fire alarm went off after his bed time that he would still get to fight the fire, and l. the fire fighting queen.
nix - who doesn't leave me even though my insominia of late has meant even the cat doesn't get a good night sleep. and who brought me home the soundtrack to the mikado, even knowing that it would mean listening to the soundtrack to the mikado.

tuesday-things that displease me
that the brilliance of joseph gordon-levitt has been pretty much ignored so far. nix and i watched mysterious skin last night (i had seen it with jack in the theatre when it opened--though we missed the beginning because i was unforgivably late). my outrage that he (joseph gordon levitt, not jack) was not nominated for an academy award came rushing back.
this year he was in the amazing brick, which was fantastic.
anyway, go see these movies. tell your friends. give this man the reputation he deserves.
