"boston sucks!"
whenever i make a mix, i'm never completely happy with it. there's usually a song or two that doesn't fit well upon listening. however, i'm really liking toilet papered neighbors. the songs go well together and it has a clear beginning, middle, and end. i didn't make it with any particular person in mind but i honestly think anyone would enjoy it. maybe i'm fooling myself. why do i even care? to be completely honest, i wish i was in a band making albums instead of being the loser that i am making mixes for people who probably listen to them twice max. what a useless talent i have, if it's a talent at all.
in new york, the people behind the counters ask "to stay or to go?" when i order my foodstuffs. where i came from, it was always "for here or to go?" also, after the lottery numbers pop out of their tube each night in their random order, the lottery lady reads them again for the benefit of the viewer, which is normal. what isn't normal is that she reads them out of order again. where i come from, the numbers are summarized in ascending order before the lottery lady says goodnight.
yesterday i had an interview at 6:30 pm. it's a ten minute walk to my car and i didn't want to make it in my suit so i decided to go get my car then get ready for the interview. this meant i was to make an unshowered car jaunt. since my hair was unruly, i put my red sox hat on before i left the crib. i always feel a little self-aware when i'm sporting that hat down here. it just so happened that i was making this walk right at the time school got out for the little long islanders. as i walked in front of my new favorite corner store, i passed two teenage boys on low rider bicycles. once they were behind me, they yelled "boston sucks!" i couldn't help but smile for the rest of my walk.
speaking of the red sox, what a comeback tonight. 5 runs in the final two innings for a 7-6 win. i really wish i could've watched it. i'm sure it would've been a lot more exciting than the updated-every-30-seconds yahoo box score i was forced to use to keep in the loop.
homesick? check.
