Well, you didn't miss anything by not going to the Pixies. It was ok. They sounded fine. But their stage presence was nil. You would think that as crazy as their songs are that they'd be crazy too. But that wasn't the case. They stood and played. And spoke 10 words to the audience the whole night. Frank Black is a really good rhythm guitarist. Kim Deal is no longer hot. Not that I'm ever sure she was but she's definitely not now. She looks like that woman that's currently in those AOL and Dish Network commercials that has the baby she's trying to protect. Yuck.
Some tall dude sat in front of our row but not in his seat. He sat up on the railing. So his extremely broad shoulders blocked the view of the stage for about 7 of us. Including myself. I could see lots of girls trying to see around him so I went up and said something to him to show off. I said "When you sit like that this entire row can't see." He said "Stand up". I gave him a stare down like he was a giant prick because that's how he was acting and went back to my seat. He moved over a little bit and then turned around to look at me and I shook my head as if to say "Not good enough." and then he sat down completely. So I win. It's not that I care to stand up at shows. I'm used to doing just that. But when you pay $40 and you have the option to sit in these cushy chairs, why would you stand up? It's not like they were playing dance music with an irresistible groove. They were totally resistible. I hate people.
Speaking of which, I went Christmas shopping yesterday and again briefly today. It's so disgusting. Where do these people come from? And why do I not see them the rest of the year???? It's like the 17year locusts we had over the summer. But they're drawn out by Christmas carols and big sales rather than a need to reproduce.
Jolene is so funny. She follows me everywhere in the apartment. If I come in here to type and she's sleeping on the couch in the front room, then she will drag her ass in here and sleep on the bed. Then when I finish here and go back in the front room to watch TV, she comes in there with me. YET, when I try to pet her or hug her, pick her up, yada yada yada generally pay her any attention....She throws a fit. Maybe she just wants to keep an eye on me and doesn't really love me. Something. Such odd little creatures.

Jo's just being a tease. She's a girl. It's her job.

I hate people, too. They usually suck. If I just assume that 99% of the people around me are going to behave in suck-ass ways, then I'm not disappointed...usually...unless that other one percent decides to suck too, and then I'm sad. The mall is the best place ever around Christmas. I never go at any other part of the year. Absinthe and I are going to go and do a mall lock-down soon where we go and force ourselves to stay in the mall for about 10 hours with only 20 dollars each. This is by far the best time to play fun people-watching games and make fun of the "cutting-edge" clothes. I don't hate Absinthe and she doesn't suck.
