Monday! I actually woke up and pulled myself right out of bed today. Usually it takes me like 4 snooze button hitting before I actually get to the point of putting my feet on the ground and heading towards the shower. I did it! Maybe its the whole perspective that I only have 4 days to work this week, or maybe its just because I am in a good mood today.
I downloaded a ton of new music last night, alot of it was inspired by Gossip Girl. They seem to play some good tunes on that show, which I'm pretty surprised by because its the WB. Non the less, I added on another 100 songs. I also downloaded some new Etsy and Nylon podcasts and I threw in a few Craftsanity and various other artsy pod casts. So instead of reading or sleeping on the train, I got to listen to a really great podcast featuring the creator of "Handmade Nation", Faythe Levine who is making a documentary coming out in early 2009 all about the Indie D.I.Y movement. "Handmade Nation" the book also came out not to long ago and it really is a great read and go to book, I highly recommend(they also have a website). I am really looking forward to the film, in the podcast she talked about how they are entering it into Sundance and a few other film festivals, I am sure they will get alot of recognition.
So the train ride went pretty quickly and alright. THEN I got on the subway, the dreaded packed subway. I was listening to my ipod and I pulled it out of my pocket and it fell on the floor, on the crowded subway floor. I thought it was a goner, but it was still running. When I got off the train and herded through the gates and stairs out of the subway someone stepped sooo hard on the back of my sneaker, it flew off and down the stairs while people are trampling over me, stepping all over my shoe. The women that did it just passed me by and said sorry, NO HELP at all. What should i expect anyway, right? BUT still, it was so annoying, I couldn't get the damn thing back on and it kept falling off. Phewwwww. I'm sure that's not exciting news, but it is the story of the beginning of my day!!
This weekend was pretty good. We saw "Zack and Mira" make a porn, very interesting I suppose. It was a funny, cute, bizarre love story of sorts, but not a bad flick at all. We laughed pretty hard in some parts, so I guess that's a good sign. I am always intrigued when I see 70Ty year olds coming in to see such a movie. I mean they see the name of it but yet there they are watching it. Some laughed and some didn't, but I still find it funny that they would go and see this movie.
I have converted over to Facebook. I have been hearing about it and one of my friends was all " come over to Facebook, I am over there now" So I went back over(I had an account from a while back) and I actually liked it. Funny thing was, I had a friend request from someone who I lost touch with two years ago, they kind of dropped me like a sack of potatoes, they really left me wondering what I had done that was so wrong. Well they messaged me with an apology, and i was taken a back, it made my day i have to say. Its always good to find out that it wasn't you that had acted like a fool. That's a plus:)
I got around to cleaning up my art desk, its all organized and neat. Now I just have to sit in the chair and do something. In time!
Oh and one last thing.....................I found, well heard a website(on one of the pod casts) that I wanted to share with you. Its called The Penny Carnival. Its packed full of arts and crafts, you know the deal, INSPIRING stuff. Don't we all need it???
P.S anyone that ever replied to me on Twitter..............well I just figured that feature out, so I just now replied to ones that were done like last week:) I will be more prompt next time, and thank you!!!
OK, I'm out to relax before its time to work again.
