how is a person supposed to get any sleep when the SciFi channel is running a Twilight Zone marathon?!?!

In other news I decided that I don't need money as much as some people who might have just incurred astronomical medical debt...so all proceeds from all craft sales (if I were to ever actually sell anything) via my etsy page (darkhumorgirl.etsy.com) will go to save the Rhino.  I'll be putting up more stuff soon for all of your christmas shopping needs, but it will all come down when we get the craft/ bake sale put together in real life...then I'll put back up whatever I don't sell there.  I don't want to make a big deal about it, since its not my tragedy (or near tragedy anyway) but I want to help in any small way

you know what I hate about myspace?  I hate that you can tell when someone has read you messages and not responded to them.  Not only does it have adverse effects on my ability to dodge the things I don't want to respond to, but it also drives me absolutely crazy when I send someone something (particularly something containing questions) and then I can see that they've read it, but then they don't respond.  that sucks!

I sure am glad to be getting out of town for the weekend...a long one at that.  I've discovered that I don't really have the money to spend the weekend in Winfield drinking heavily and listening to bluegrass...but sometimes what's good for the soul is worth the cost.  I've got a lot on my mind and sitting around the office with nothing to do all day is not helping.  As you may know I have a tendancy to dwell on things...all things!  I'm going to come back fresh...or at least that's the goal.  To come back, focus on work (what little of it there is) and go to about a butt load of good shows...and next week is looking real good show wise (and work wise)...here's the line up:

Sunday Night : We're From Japan at the Replay (anyone wanna go to this with me...please...captainkatie (I know you're mad at me) maybe ourmusicskills?)

Monday Night:  Spooklights at the Jackpot (again...anyone?)

Tuesday: working some weird movie sneak preview in KC for lucky myspace users...I get $125...I don't care what I'm doing!

Tuesday Night: Built To Spill at Bottleneck

Wednesday Night: Built To Spill again

Thursday Night: Gonna try to weasle my way into Violent Femmes at Harrahs

Friday Night: I'm working but I don't know what I'm working yet...hoping that its Nada Surf at City Market...swoon!

Saturday: working the Tim Reynolds show at Bottleneck...not excited...but money's money right?

If all goes well I plan to be drunk at everything I'm not working...I feel a major Indian Summer Bender coming on!

And after all this I'm thinking about maybe taking some lessons...learning to play all of the instruments that I own...or at least one of them!

I either have some sort of flu, or I'm just hella run down.  I was so tired at work today that I came home to take a nap.  After the nap I felt a little crappy, as I often do after naps, but no big deal...until I actually got up and tried to head back to work...man I felt like crapola!  I called and said I wasn't coming back.  I'm now crafting some probably amazing chicken noodle soup...hopefully that helps.  The only other solution I can thing of is to watch a bunch of sappy movies....I think that's probably the cure for this one...

I probably haven't had rug burn since I was a little kid...and I totally forgot how much it fucking hurts!  No, no, my sex life has not taken a turn for the exciting (if only!)...I decided yesterday that it was just too damn hot to wear tights to roller derby practice.  As I was jamming I was knocked off the track right at the corner near the carpeted benches that line the walls and it cut a carpety path right across my right thigh.  It hurts so bad I woke up everytime I rolled over last night...yipe!

Also I found out this week that I am something that I never knew I was...Marketable!  Sadly everyone who wants me doesn't really have the ability to give me anything more than part time so I'm stuck here.  I think I might have enough bargaining chips though to request benefits.  The boss has decided to put me on salary.  This scares the crap out of me because I know how many extra hours I end up putting in around Wakarusa time and I don't want to not be compensated for it!  The upside is that when I'm not busy I can work as little as I want and I don't have to keep track of my hours at all.  Plus I will supposedly be making more money overall...could this mean new skates for Oucho Marx?  We'll see just how much more is more!

It looks like I'm going to start kickboxing on Friday...not the aerobic kind, but the kick a person's ass kind.  Who knew I was so sporty?  I remember a time where lifting the remote was a workout...I miss those days....what has become of me???

the Orbit commercial with Snoop Dogg teaching kids how to be a gangsta is amazing. Things like that make watching TV worth while!

Also I've decided that I should try to do less insufferable whining in this forum. Its unbecoming. Plus, no sense in leaving a proverbial paper trail when it comes to talking shit on others! So you'll now have a kinder gentler Julie ahead of you...theoretically. This is still the prime place for venting since the people who piss me off most often don't know about it.

I don't care if its low class, I prefer Busch Light above all other cheap beer! I will not allow PBR in my home, its fine for those damn hip kids, and when I'm broke at the bar (well, bars other than the Bottleneck and the Granada), but not in the sactity of my home base. I will no longer let people shame me for my choice in cheap alcohol delight!!

I hate being sick. There was so much that I wanted to do today. I suppose I should be grateful that it fell on a weekend so that I didn't have to miss any work during this busy busy time. I wanted to go play the Hunt today, I wanted to go to a bachelorette party in KC, I wanted to not be achy all over. Instead I just layed around and felt sorry for myself. I went and ran the errands that I couldn't avoid. But I did make a fucking phenomenal pot of chicken noodle soup. I can't even feel bad that no one will come take care of me because apperantly I'm amazing in the kitchen when I'm sick!

In other news, I got my hair done yestarday and for some reason I let Kari to convince me to let her wax my arms. I'm afraid I've fallen into a dangerous slippery slope of over-grooming. I mean really, who needs their arms waxed? Did I need my arms waxed? I'd like to think I didn't really need it. Anyway it made me feel kind of Hollywood for a minute and now I just feel weird about it...like people will notice and think I'm weird.

Tomorrow: Long hot drive to Emporia, lunch with my ma who's camping, and then a wedding shower...for a best friend...who i haven't talked to in 2 years...I'm a bit nervous about it. Also the wedding season is already making me poor :(

Ok, next Wednesday, May 17th is captainkatie's birthday....there are a few things on the table that we could do...so I thought I'd see if I can get some opinions, to help her make this important decision!

1. Wave On The Barrage at the Jackpot.  Why?  Because ultimately curiosity did kill the cat, and there's a tiny part of us that really needs to know what Dr. Know's band sounds like.  Direct Andy Bob quote "they aren't as bad as I wanted them to be."  Plus they are playing with Boo and Boo Too and Evening Grey...can this possibly be a fitting line-up?

2. The Rumblejetts at Knuckleheads.  Why?  Because Knuckleheads is the coolest bar on earth (I say this mostly because they offer Busch Light bottles!) Plus last time we were there the Rockabilly kids thought that we were lost/ new rockabillies and invited us to come down...the Rumblejetts play every Wednesday apperantly.  Downsides?  Weird bathrooms, bad neighborhood, how would we get home safely from a bar that far away from either of our homes...or would we just end up at the casinos until Worlds of Fun opens up the next day?  Hhheeeyyy,  now that's not a bad idea!

3.  Valient Thorr at the Replay.  Why?  They are from Venus, they look like vikings, and they pretty much rock!  Its possible that with this one we could also jump across the street and catch WOTB...and who knows what else.  

As you can see Katie picked a good day to be born as this year there are a lot of exciting possiblities!
