October is HERE! And my home away from home.

Current mood: mellow
The STARBUCKS that is new to the SOUTH ST area can go screw. I asked for JAVA CHIP, b/c I like the espresso beans they blend into the frappucino. The guy took forever, and blended it so much that there was no espresso bean goodness except @ the very bottom and by then I was quite sick of it.

This may be a minuscule thing to complain about—but it’s the little things that kill.

My weekend was pretty good, you know if you don’t count my uncle dying on Friday and SUICIDE GIRL (that's my new nickname for the current bane of my existence) calling me to tell me about her latest antics (SUICIDE GIRL is scaring me but I’ve been told by everyone she is just trying to get attention so I’m letting her insanity sorta play itself out). I’ve had to live with a certain amount of craziness due to my mother and my own mental issues but I never EVER thought I would be watching the total disintegration of this person. I don’t even know what to believe anymore. My uncle is younger than my father, and got cancer and passed rather quickly after being diagnosed, and instead of trying to get through this with SUICIDAL GIRL—she is playing her own game of “PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!” and I am just sick of talking about it so I’ll shut up now.

Friday night I hung out with Keg Leg. We went to MANNYS and THE NEW WAVE, then Kell left for home, and I went to TATTOOED MOMS and back to MANNYS. I was regretfully asked to leave after falling asleep at the bar. Yes kittlings, this is how I cope with my problems. Awesome isn’t it?

Saturday I woke up with a killer hangover, went to INFINITE to get a new disc for the back of my piercing (it popped off the night of THE KILLERS show), then walked to OLDE CITY for lunch. I came home, hung out, made another outing to RITTENHOUSE for some swag @ Wonderland, then met Frank @ MANNYS for less drinking than the night prior, but more conversation with my 2 favorite barkeeps—Brendan and Rachel. These 2 are right up Ze Brickthrower’s alley; we talked EXISTENZ and CRONENBERG, Rachel and I did shots of Jameson, Mike the bouncer introduced himself and said it was cool that I was napping @ the bar the night prior. I have been privy to having my own “bar” before; what with palling around with JD and getting the hook-ups that go along with frequent visits and good tipping. MANNYS is now ‘my bar’, and I dig that Rachel and Brendan make me feel more like a friend than a customer. Frank and I didn’t stay too long—he has doggy obligations that keep him from staying in Filthadelphia too long—we ended up going back to his place in JERZEE and falling asleep to NAPOLEON DYNAMITE. This is the 2nd attempt for us to watch this movie together and this is the 2nd time we’ve both passed out during it.

On Sunday we had breakfast and I got dropped off. There was some music festival going on RIGHT OUTSIDE MY WINDOW so I attempted to nap but it was kinda hard. I went over to JD’s around 3-ish and we went to PATHMARK for grub (JD made some excellent shrimp alfredo); I watched HOME MOVIES season 2 and napped by myself and with Moto on me, then it was time to watch MR DANE COOK headline the INSOMNIAC TOUR on Comedy Central. He was gorgeous and hilarious—it was a good show all around and I’m just so glad to see DANE finally getting his dues. He’s the fucking man.

I left right after the show was over as it was 11pm…got a bus, texted Rachel @ Mannys and made my way back to my home away from home for a few drinks, some conversation with NOLAN (another local), Rachel and Bren. I stayed until Rachel was done her shift and then had her over for some cider and EDDIE IZZARD, which she absolutely loved. Hopefully she can make it out to THE CORPSE BRIDE, which I will be seeing tomorrow with Carey and her little sister. The best part of this being that I will get to see the HARRY POTTER trailer on the big screen, a more exciting prospect than one can ever imagine.

So although I was down on the female of the species last week, I’ll give Rachel a shot. She’s a doll. And tall, and sorta gothy, and super cute too. But you know, that’s just an added bonus.

Tonight: I must make decisions. TO QUIZZO OR NOT TO QUIZZO??? I’m thinking staying in, SHAUN OF THE DEAD may be in order and I’m sure my body wouldn’t mind drying out a bit. Frank and I haven’t made plans for this week but I’m thinking I’ll probably see him Thursday if not sooner for lunch. As tomorrow is movie night, then LOST on Wednesday. I asked him to be my date for the wedding and he agreed, barring any traveling he might be doing. Things are going smashing between me and him and he’s just a swell guy. We’re just having a good time spending time together.

I have successfully wasted a good hour @ work writing out this entry. Awesome! Awww, yes. I will be attending DRACULAS BALL with LX and Val (the ticket is my late birthday prezzie) so the real question is—WTF am I going to be for HALLOWEEN??
