today i had a lucky day. scored 3 new albums from 3 random people. weird. i must have a sign on my head that says "please burn me a disc of something new to listen to." seriously it happened 3 times in 2 hours. also, i had a moment in my car yesterday where i realized that i LOVE the cure. i don't just dig them, i love them.
only one crappy thing happened...i found out that i have to go to milwaukee (sp?) for the catalog press run. for FIVE days. i'm not talking going to the city, i mean the outskirts w/ the crappy industrial parks & print warehouses. did i say FIVE days? yeah. and the worst part (yes, it gets worse) is that we have to check the print runs, which could be at anytime. 2am, 4pm, 6am....on call for FIVE days. i will look at it as a unique experience and just sit in my apartment and play guitar and read. maybe it won't be so bad.
tennis, i would have stayed if i didn't have 2 others w/ me & no car. that would have been fun. i actually have your # w/ me in case i am in boston suddenly, which happens. will be there wednesday i think.
i miss everyone. love you as well.
