i’m listening to… tegan and sara’s “the con” album.
$15 cover? wtf. luckily i didn’t have to pay for it cause henry got it. but what the shit?!! i totally had left my wallet in the car initially, too, cause i figured! wtf! who pays cover on a tuesday night! but clearly i know nothing. not to mention the club was in the middle of nowhere (maybe?) in santa monica. took two shots of tequila and got kinda pretty drunk offa that, which is hilarity. friends, friends. henry also got grounded when he was 16 and his parents’ method of grounding was by putting “the club” onto his car. too funny. he also put an art installation / social experimentation project i guess on the campus of his college — and you put in a quarter, and the machine gave you back twenty-six cents. ummm, awesome? other than that, hung out with michael today and yesterday and watched movies and ate sushi, and went to the mall with jeanette and her friend jenn today! oh, and i saw jeanette get a manicure (and pedicure, but i wasn’t really watching that so much) which was weird, and scraping off cuticles kinda grosses me out, not gonna lie. now i’m at jeanette’s house, listening to music, at 2:21am, eating mixed nuts from costco. woo!
oh yeah, yesterday aaron texted me while i was still in austin and was like! there’s this weird shoperotic channel on tv that is marketing an extreme _______ (insert name of extreme dildo), and i was like, dude! i worked for them! funny.
austin was decent, stayed with one of my writers, matt, and did random shit……………. walked around a bunch, drew on the university of texas campus, ate yogurt, chatted with alex for hours from my itouch from a yogurt shop, etc. lot of public transportation and solo lameness. lots of frustration. saw a-ron and co. at the mohawk where they were performing. it was fun. the show had some techy probs and a-ron was losing his voice, but yeah. played the drawing game. got a bong drawn on my leg. it was all good. hung out with the brunettes for dinner which was interesting cause half of them were mega goofy and half were pretty serious. yeahhhhh. and stubb’s bbq doesn’t have vegetarian options really, as usual, but i had some wicked fried okra!! woo!!! from austin, i rented a car and drove to houston because some guy at the nurses show had told me that houston was better than san antonio. he was wrong and sucked.
houston was a fucking weird place which i hated kinda but it was interesting to go to because there was like jack shit there! really nice, new buildings on one street, really super ghetto boarded up buildings on the next street over. weirdness. also passed by one stretch of freeway where it was like every-chain-store-in-america-in-these-five-miles — i shit you not. i was beginning to think there were no more chains possible but new ones kept popping up. it truly blew my mind. i slept in my car in front of an apartment complex really close to the downtown stadiums. no problems with that really other than the fact that i really shoulda taken a shower, and what’s more — the pattern on the seat kinda left marks on skin!!!! also left the windows cracked a smidgen and it started pouring like a MOTHERFUCKER sometime in the night and started raining on my legs, woo! this is total rambling stream-of-consciousness bullshiz. there was this awesome outdoor car wash place in houston, though, called the “humble car wash”, and it was like pretty unfancy and the workers were all these black youths, like teenagers. so funny. i enjoyed it very much, and the sign was all rickity and funny and simple and there were like 15 teens hanging out there washing cars, only there were no freaking cars to wash!!!!!!!!!! took lotsa cool pics (well, some cool pics) and got lost a lot but it was pretty fun in that regard. there was a george washington monument which i tried to check out but parking downtown was absolutely fucking impossible, so i gave up and didn’t actually get to check out the downtown all that much. i also attempted to find a coffee shop to charge my electronics and i could NOT locate one even though i looked around and circled down every street ever. also attended church and found a church recommendation through couchsurfing — a catholic charismatic church — but unfortunately there was not any speaking in tongues. it was a little interesting because they adhered pretty strictly to catholic ideals and customs, but the father himself was so super lax and really kinda funny and kinda was dressed in green and purple, like a football player, kinda, as opposed to a father. interesting. but ultimately because of the lack of speaking in tongues, it pretty much did nothing for me. kinda interesting though cause the praise song they were playing when we got in was one i knew. i forget the name now. moo. oh yeah also ate dinner by myself — a highly-recommended texmex place according to chowhound — and it was kinda weird because it was a sorta party-like atmosphere (think chile’s) but i was alone. i got over that real quick, though, but texmex is not all that good. not particularly down with it, to be honest.
then it was onto san antonio, and i slept in the car again, but drove middle of the night to a rest stop and slept there. it was fine, but a little cold. kinda found san antonio a wee bit charming in a more interesting historical sense. the architecture was cool and the whole feel was less big city and hence more appealing. there was also a lot more mexican, including this outdoor mexican square thing with music and dancing and food, and was even a lot more mexican down to the… i got honked at… at one point, i got honked at by one car that slowed down and honked five times in a row! like hell yeah! i haven’t gotten honked at five times in a row even in mexico or peru! so you win! congrats!!!!! woooooo!!! oh yeah. the alamo fucking sucks. it’s no godamn lie. the shit is soooo pointless. why do people go to san antonio to see the alamo? i’ve no godamn clue!!!!
by the end of texas i was really fucking dirty and desperately needed a shower. luckily i got one really early on in los angeles. woo!
sleeping and brushing of teeth should happen.
or at least taking a nap on the couch before that happens. yeah. that sounds good. yeah.
