Cursed is not a good movie. really. you probably already knew that, though. however, as a rabid Arrested Development fan, it was at least amusing to see Lindsey being all psychic and weird and Kitty being a scary vengeful bitchy werewolf. and the WEREGOLDENRETRIEVER. haha. oh Christina Ricci, WHY???? go be in something worth watching, please. you're far too pretty for this silly crap.

Thanks for the comment. That skull paint took freaking forever to get right, so I'm glad it was effective.

Ghost World is so good! Its sounds so dorky to notice this but when you watch the movie pay attention to the color scheme. In every single scene in that movie you'll see and red and green color scheme somewhere in it, its kind of cool! biggrin

so i'm still not the manager, though customers still think i am....we have a label-sponsored contest going on where whichever of our stores sells the most of a selection of five mediocre-to-crappy cds gets $2500 to split amongst the employees and a ps3. my bestest coworker pal (and would-be assistant manager) told the manager that if we don't win, he'll get him (the manager) fired....

trying to ignore my dislike for the new management, and every time my brain is idle i start daydreaming about how great it would be if i were manager so i'd make enough money to have my own apartment in town, no need for a roommate, and could pay for EVERYTHING by myself. and if i got lucky maybe even have a place that allowed...

yeah, i wish i had my own place too. my roomies are cool but sometimes you don't want to deal with other people.

sorry about the work situation, that must be so frustrating.

i am not happy with the new manager - he thinks we don't like him (not true) and is trying too hard to get us to like him, and in turn it's making us not like him. couple that with the fact that he's micromanaging, completely reorganized our new release/sale wall (eliminating the Top 20, wtf???), and twice in the past week he has been...

i made chunky monkey cookies last night (mashed banana, huge chocolate chunks and walnuts). i had to improvise a little but they fucking rule. as far as i'm concerned, when it comes to cookies i can do no wrong. fear my baking powers!!!

i had a really weird, kind of cool dream last night. i was at work and a girl came up to me...

it's by an artist called Run
jonnytrrrash7:
i envy, not fear your baking prowess. i sure could go for some of those chunkies right now!

funny you should mention Jack Off Jill, i was just checking that record yesterday (on vinyl, oh yeah) wink it's the one with the Mark Ryden cover. i'll poke around for that Stolen Babies stuff.

i ended up taking that Christina thing home, it fits perfectly in the corner of my room, really brightens the place up tongue am anxiously awaiting the vinyl version of the album, yes i am a geek.

that dream sounds amazing, i can barely remember any of mine anymore. force fields, everyone should have at least one!

i've given in. i officially adore Regina Spektor. i was on the fence for a while, but she's too cute, and her songs are so weird and catchy.

in other music news, i'll be seeing The Knife when i go to New York. well, we have tickets to a show....who knows if they'll really play though. tongue

and in regards to Gogol Bordello's latest album....we each...

yeah, funny how record stores work that way, because i think i do most of my socializing there, too.

maybe someday i'll see Maine. Portland, Oregon is a pretty nice place, though.

i didn't get the promotion.

mostly i feel bad for my coworker who was going to become assistant manager if i became manager. i hope he doesn't leave. i probably will look for a new job sometime in the future, now that i'm aware of the HUGE gap in pay between assistant manager and manager. plus i'll need a new place to live in about...

yeah, it would be nice if they gave you some kind of compensation for doing the manager's job for a while, maybe they will?

maybe you could try college just so you could collect the green!?? wink

i once did the Denver/Boulder commute for about a year, and it sucked. even if i had had a car, i think it would have gotten old.
jonnytrrrash7:
wow, you're in Maine? i thought it was probably Oregon.

yeah i went to college for like 5 years and never graduated. the only reason i went was because i got a scholarship. it's amazing that i didn't flunk out. in retrospect, i'm glad i went, because i ended up doin' the record store thing which i always wanted to do. hah, big dreams, huh? tongue now i can't do anything else!

congrats on 5 years, that's impressive!

i think the interview went really well....we spent the whole hour laughing and stuff, it helps that i get along with the district managers (and everyone else i know in the office). i'll probably find out if i got the job or not within a week. eeeeeeeee!!

it's too bad you missed the Dresden Dolls at that warehouse branch, that would have beed prime goodness! i wished that i had talked to Kaki King when she did an in-store at the store i work at. i did manage to get a picture with Nelly McKay, and one with Del McCoury.

that some awesome flirting technique those truckers have, they definitely got game!

sounds like the interview went well, good luck!

my official interview for the position of manager is Thursday morning, in the main office. it's gonna suck having to get up early and drive into the city. if it goes well, though, i'm going to have to take a little trip to the mall and do a victory dance in the store i used to work in. the one where they were hesitant to...

the time i saw the Dresden Dolls they def. weren't going out into the audience.

i am still the POS' little bitch

good luck with the interview, nice to have cooking skills to fall back on. you'd never be out of work, unlike me, who only knows how to work in a record store. listen to my show if you can, it starts in 10 minutes or so. go to www.radio1190.org and click "netcast"

hope you had a good weekend!

work's going ok now. the manager and i almost had it out after he somehow overheard me complaining about him to my (hopefully) future assistant manager. but i think we're cool now, though it was a little awkward today. we hired yet another new employee (that makes three new people in like a week). they're all pretty cool, though. next week we're gonna have a...

hah, yesterday was the 1st day under the new regime/point-of-sale system, it's going to take a while to learn the damn thing!

i've heard of older people being intimidated by the downstairs (cd) staff, i'm sure we must me scary to some customers as well. actually we're just a bunch of geeks in reality. if i had hair, i'd definitely go for the purple dye.

i need to see Dusk Till Dawn again!
jonnytrrrash7:
and yeah, i love the Dresden Dolls, i saw them open for NIN, great stuff. i tried listening to Regina, hasn't really gripped me yet.

i have had it with my manager. i've kept my mouth shut so far on his double-long breaks, his wandering around on shifts with no word on where he's going or what he's doing, his complete lack of doing anything after he's done about two hours of work a day. he's leaving at the end of the month and there's a good chance that i'll...

duder, you aren't kidding. this new POS we got a look at today.....well, i'm no computer guy, but it makes the last one look like Pong or Tinkertoys or something. but i'm guessing once i get accustomed to it (which should be in 4 to 6 months) it actually has alot of capabiltiy and power and what not.

i think it's best to listen to Boris while baked, if at all possible wink
