vacation

August 12th, 2008, 10:52 am

i woke up this morning to my alarm going off at 9am, and got out of the big bed i get to sleep in while i’m housesitting…and felt out of place, because i had gotten only 7 hours of sleep, but felt really nice and rested. this had not happened to me in a really long time. i think what it means is that sleeping in a tiny loft bed in a tiny room is just bad for you – i regularly feel more tired after 11 hours of sleep in my current room. good thing i only have to sleep there for one more week! i’ll be at this house until saturday, then back home for a week, then up at lake simcoe for my grandparents’ 50th anniversary week. as soon as i get back i’ll be moving to my new place!

yesterday was great – i came out to my uncle’s place, helped him pack for his vacation and set up some of my stuff. a band came over and i recorded them for four hours – i was going to go to an advance of some chick flick i had tickets for, but any time i have the opportunity to work for $32/hr i’d rather be working than seeing a chick flick!

i made this song last night. that’s not a final mix but i’m still incredibly happy with how it turned out. i was talking a while ago with some people about when we were kids and we would make up lyrics to video game music – this was somebody’s and it had been stuck in my head for a long time. i have a couple songs, but i don’t know if they’re as perfect as that one. that’s also ALL sampled except for my voice!

last night i went back to my place to put out the garbage and pick up some food from my place, i didn’t have enough room in my backpack in the morning to bring over clothes AND food. on my way back here a really cute girl tried to jaywalk and almost jumped right in front of my bike, she was all “i’m sorry!! i’m sorry!!!” and i didn’t mind at all. it’s pretty messed up how much someone’s attractiveness affects their situation. if it had been an old homeless guy i might have yelled at him. even if it was just an unattractive girl my age i probably wouldn’t have smiled and said “it’s ok!”. the thing is i didn’t even THINK about whether she was cute or not, i just reacted naturally, and i wasn’t angry solely because she had a cute face and voice.

when i got home i made bacon & eggs at 1 in the morning, some intense breakfast for dinner. i really love bacon.
