Because they're at night, my classes are full of people who "have little ones at home." So that's all anyone talks about.
Almost everyone left after the Smith Westerns played last night, so we played to an almost empty Belmont.
Here's me and Hannah in front of that chemical plant fire

I've never liked this video. Although, I like Johnny's extra special Pointy Mosrite. I've never seen one anywhere else.

i got off the bus a few blocks early to take a picture of the menacing deer in a mural that i see every time i take the 610 bus from grosse pointe to transfer to the 200 bus that goes to dearborn.
i can't tell if the deer (two bucks, a doe and fawn-- each with narrow eyes and straight mouths) are supposed to look mean or are just poorly drawn. it's probably a little of both. the mural's painted not on an actual wall, but on a series of boards which are nailed to the side of an abandoned building that's across the street from a bunch of other abandoned buildings.
after i took the picture and started walking toward the reinassance center, i heard, "hey! ted!"
it was a man who i met on the bus the day before. he sat next to me, talked non-stop and at one point offered to give me the student rate at a home massage parlor where he employs only himself and doesn't take female customers because they're "always accusing everybody of molesting them."
when i turned around, he immediately started talking about how he was on his way to his doctor and needed surgery. i wasn't feeling as nice as i was the day before, so i barely responded and kept walking. |

An old superstition claims that if a man adopts a daughter and deprives her food, his own daughter, when born, will have two mouths and eat twice as much.

I always thought Aldi was a hardware store, but it's actually a grocery store where you have to pay to use shopping carts, there are no grocery bags and everything on the shelves is still in shipping boxes.

I spent the past few days at Mike and Natalia's house. Yesterday, we went to Super Greenland Market in East Dearborn and worked in the yard for a while before going to Stormy Records and Green Brain. I didn't have any money. So I didn't buy anything. Mike did, though.

After spending the entire day watching t.v. and trying to rip-off "Hey Jude" by transposing it to C and singing a different melody over it, I rode my bike to Janet's Lunch for a late dinner. I ordered a tuna melt, which turned out to be mistake. And I couldn't eat most of the potato chips because they were either directly touching the pickle or were saturated with its juice. That was my fault for not saying, "no pickle, please." I'm usually pretty good about that. OH WELL. They let you smoke in there and I read a few more stories from Graham Green: the Complete Short Stories. Of the three or four that I read while I was there, "Jubilee" stands out. So read that if you're into that sort of thing.
Since it's between Janet's and the booze store on the Detroit side of Jefferson that doesn't card (I lost my passport last month and, even though I'm twenty-five, none of Grosse Pointe's liquor stores [and by "none of Grosse Pointe's liquor stores" I mean Art's, which I'm not totally sure is even in Grosse Pointe] will sell alcohol to me), I rode past my old basement apartment on Hampton. Some new tenants finally moved in and I want to see what they look like. The last time I went past it, the lights were on and I could hear a baby crying and two adults shouting.
I didn't see them, but I did see my former Borders co-worker Marianne who was either leaving or on her way to St. Ambrose. I hadn't seen her since I got fired in July, so it was nice to catch up for a few minutes. She told me that everyone misses me (which I don't believe), and I told her how Borders denied my request for unemployment benefits. She told me to appeal. I didn't know I could do that.
When I got home, I had a Myspace message from Mary Cotter. She "heard some disturbing news" that I'm really into doing heroin and wanted to let me know that dope is a bad scene. I've never even seen heroin, wouldn't know how to buy it and can't afford it or the carton of cigarettes I'd probably want to chain smoke if I were all smacked up. I've also heard, from non-Cotter sources, that I was in rehab a few months ago. I wasn't, though. Weird. Someone's lying.
I called Natalia to see if her boss, David, could cut my hair next week. She told me about how she's in the "Best and Brightest" section of this month's "Allure Magazine".
My DV-R is set-up to record a bunch of movies from Turner Classic Movies that I've wanted to see for a long time. It recorded about ten of them so far (The Spirit of the Beehive, Anatomy of a Murder, some mid-era Alfred Hitchcock movies, ect) but I always end up watching "Everybody Loves Raymond" re-runs, "Monster Quest" or edited-for-A&E "Sopranos" episodes that I've seen a hundred times.
This morning, I watched one where Christopher tells some drug dealers who are robbing him to "shove it up your mother's nose!" I can't wait to tell someone to shove something up his mother's nose. |

Last week while Mike, Natalia, Jeremiah and I were on our way from my apartment to Windmill Pointe Park, Mike said something about how one of his co-workers, while on a bike ride, saw a couple of Lamborghinis with pentagrams on the hoods parked inside the gates of one of those lake-front mansions. |
