Dreaming

I had a funny dream the other night. I was a member of a Destiny's Child-type of girl group with Beyonce Knowles (-Z?) and we were supposed to go to some big event one night and she and I had a fight because she and her Mom wanted us all to wear red dresses, but I wanted to wear a purple dress. I thought it would be stupid to all wear the same color. The dresses came in like, 5 different colors, and they were all jewel-toned, so i thought it would be better if we each wore a different color. Well, Beyonce was having none of that. So I stayed home instead of going to the event. We all made up the next day. Also, this whole thing took place at my grandparents' house in Macon, GA (which they moved out of 4 years ago), and Beyonce was like, related to me. Verrrry strange. Lots of random stuff knocking around in my head lately!

Last night I went to dinner with Lester and this friend of his named Lens. It was good to see him again. It had actually been about a year since the last time we hung out. We also went back to the apartment afterwards and I got to see Judith and see what they've done with the place since I left. It looked very nice, mostly the same, except that Lester now lives in my old room. That room looked amazing. The carpet was pulled up and underneath was a beautiful wood floor! I wish I had known that! The walls have also been painted and they got those weird sized shelves down somehow. Muff and I tried to get them off and couldn't, so I don't know how they did it, but it definitely freed up some more space in there. It really made me want to move out of my current place. But I don't think I can beat the rent situation I have now. And I'm in a pretty convenient neighborhood. Ugh! I wish I had more money, I'd move straight to Park Slope!

My Summer Goals

So, since I have a lot more free time in the evenings now than I ever have since like, high school, I've decided that this summer I am going to go back and school myself in some of the bands I've always wanted to get into but have never taken the time for. On the list: Wilco, The Replacements, The Flaming Lips, The Shins, The Decemberists, Guided by Voices. I already know a few songs/albums by all of them, but I've always intended to go back and get a little more in-depth, so that is my summer project this year. Luckily, I get to play whatever music I want when I am at work, so that will be very helpful in getting to know stuff better.

Last weekend I went to Buffalo with a bunch of old friends from OG to surprise my old roommate Jim for his Big 3-0. We went to Niagara Falls, met Jim's Mom and Stepdad (and his runaway dog, Maggie), went out and partied at some gay bars, had the police stop by the apartment (possibly getting jim evicted), ate at Arby's, and had an incredibly long ride home during which we made an alphabetical list of people to invite to our next party! We also went to an outlet mall where I got a really cute Marc Jacobs dress for $100. Now I just have to get some shoes to go with it!

I'm also planning to read a lot of Barney/Robin HIMYM fanfiction, so if you're into that drop me a line, ha ha!
