get it

o this summer is going reasonably well so far. i am still looking for a job, because a bitch has virtually no dollars in her life! it's a sad look for sure. and it never fails to surprise me just how difficult is is to get a job, even at some lame ass stores! also to complicate that factor in a ridiculous way is the fact that i was fired from banana, and probably would have bad references from them and barnes & noble at the very least. ew. but the places i've applied so far have seemed hopeful for me, and told me they'd let me know something this week. here's hoping. otherwise i will just have to stop being so picky and may end up working somewhere completely uncool/hatable. fingers, toes, eyes, and legs crossed fa rull!

in other (more exciting news), i had a fucking amazing time at the erykah badu/roots show with brian! omg. here's a video of some of the highlights that someone posted on youtube if you wanna see :) we definitely snuck in little bottles of vanilla stoli to mix with soda for the show - like 12 of them! if that isn't ghetto enough for you, please understand that we had no idea where the coliseum was (even though i'd been before), and once we got there we could not find the will call place (despite asking for directions from 2 workers who sent our ass in every wrong direction!). we met another lost lady named amber and we bonded, but that bitch had 7th row seats so she promptly left our ass once she got in (but we saw her after the show :). so i was feeling nervous about sneaking the vodka in, but thank god brian is way better at playing shit off than me (and he had more pockets), because i definitely dropped on right out in the middle of everything! yeah, i'm clumsy and lost at all times.

the roots went first, and they were crazy hot. i wish i had that much energy. they were all over the place. even the guy with the huge ass horn thing was dancing around and being crazy. they did some old school stuff and some of the newest songs from their most recent album, rising down. they even did biz markie's "just a friend!" they got everyone hyped up, though, which made for some really good energy and a lot of fun. which meant brain and i had to go mix our drinks in the bathroom afterwards and get our esspurience on.

ms. badu was late as hell to come on, but it was worth the wait! from the second she was on, she had us hooked. she was giving it up and telling the truth on things. she did a lot from new amerykah, and then brought in old school badu a little after she'd gotten started. she was banging some crazy ass drum like it had done her wrong, and she had the hottest shoes, and the whole thing was fierce and famous. she played this song called "annie (ain't don't wear no panties)," which cracked me up.



when she did "green eyes" she had two red yoga balls and she was dancing with them and throwing them around to people on stage before kicking them out into the audience. badu is crazy. then she finished off with "bag lady" and "honey." she was getting people in the audience to take the mic on some parts, and not a damn one could sing, which was wildly entertaining, and she'd be like, "go 'head queen, go 'head brotha" no matter how bad they sounded. she didn't have the big fro, but she was rocking those shoes and a purple hoodie at one point. brian kept yelling for her to "sing tyrone!" and many others were wanting the same thing. i was too busy dancing to care. amazing show.

then we went and got some wine, and some cosmic cantina, and had a madonna sing-a-long in the car on the way to my house, where we watched strangers with candy and the simple life drunk out of our minds until morning. i spent the next day in bed with brian, avoiding cutting the grass until 30 mins before a storm when i started and had to come in. we watched the opposite of sex and american beauty, and then my parents came home from their 29th anniversary weekend.

instead of job hunting today, i watched the entire angels in america in the morning, and then slept the rest of the afternoon. i cleaned up the house some after that, and then my family came home and we all watched enchanted.

yeah, life is good.

and why am i up at almost 5am? that's a good one.
