In an attempt to lighten my mood, which has been ever dwindling the past two days in what I hope is not a trend toward depression, I give you:

Good things that happened yesterday, 7/19/04:

• I found my 2 lost compilation cds.


• I had a cup of lemon sherbet ice cream.


• I watched half of Aqua Teen Hunger Force.


• I realized i still have an entire chocolate cake that i forgot to use at my party.

Of course, today I found out that someone has eaten half of my cake. Then, my absolutely amazing lunch at Cafe Ballou (Citrus Blue salad with potato soup) was cut short. Finally, someone told me to shut up. All I said was "uh huh." I was trying to BE POLITE. This was answered with "No, shut up," and by the same person who interrupted my lunch.

Do I deserve this?

Anyway, uh, on my to-do list today (still not done at 5:03 pm):

• email xxxxxxxxx@hotmail


• finish bang! bang! pictures


• email bang! bang!


• email walter meego


• buy a kryptonite lock


• become a concert promoter

I think I put the one about the concert promoter in there because the list seems to involve emailing a lot of bands or artists. I also think I should add "write a best-selling novel" to the list, or at least "write a mediocre short story." Well, okay, how about "write a crappy poem." Yes. I'll do that.

Tomorrow.

Tonight I think I'll head down to the Art Institute (Tuesdays are free), if I can drag myself out of this mood.

Listening to: Elevator music? (I think I need to start bringing my earphones with me. I don't know why I haven't thought of that earlier.)
In my sink: 4 serving bowls, 4 spoons, 3 regular bowls, 3 cups, a plate, a knife, and a colander.
