saturday was my first day of school: audio engineering at houston community college. i know it's only one class, but i'm excited.. being a nerd means i like having textbooks and homework. especially if that homework involves a recording studio. downside: the campus is out by the beltway, also known as Suburbia with a capital S and farther away from civilization than any self-respecting inner loop resident would want to go. upside: at least three of the faculty members in the music department have graduate degrees from rice, which happens to be where i'm sort of thinking of applying for a master's. me getting in to rice would be just below 'turning water into wine' on the miracle scale, but i suppose i can think about that later.
a picture i submitted to the houston center for photography was chosen for their next student exhibition. it's hard for me to believe that something i took will be on display for two months, AND be available for sale. though i highly doubt anyone will want a picture of the umass fine arts center in their living room (besides me).
we were about 10 feet away from bun-b wednesday night. it was a good time.

the first step on the road to assertiveness?
Unmentionables: cards to hand out when you're "too nice to tell jerks how you really feel". my favorites are "please don't procreate" and "can you repeat that? i was in a coma."
(if i were to make my own, i would start with "DON'T. DO THAT.")

Miscellaneous Observations Monday
catchy, no?
tricky is doing his first north american tour in five years. will it include houston? of course not. same thing with wire. and they're so freakin old they'll probably end up in a rest home before they ever get around to any other city in texas that's not austin. what's worse is that i figured portishead would be touring as well since they just released an album, but there's no sign of that happening. so i can't even complain that they're not coming here.
what IS coming to houston, however, is more pink and orange. dunkin donuts is opening 10 more locations in the city. i could suggest a few places to start.. the empty building next to my bus stop (pleasepleaseplease), the vacant lot up the street, the lab across the hall...
yao ming slightly resembles sam the eagle from the muppets.
quote of the day is from louis armstrong: "All music is folk music, I ain’t never heard no horse sing a song.” (found here.)
i have to find a way to get a large dresser from the guild shop to my apartment tomorrow morning. this is the problem with havingsuch a luxurious and earth-friendly vehicle a corolla. then the plan is to paint it, because i'm handy like that.
i convinced michelle to watch be kind rewind with me, and after all that hype... yawn.

i learned something today
it may be because my hair is so red it looks radioactive, or because today i happen to be wearing four-inch heels, or because i walk around seemingly unconcerned about the opinion of people nearby, but the general consensus is that i don't look like i'm from around here.

the week's calculations
number of...
establishments visited with my boss on friday night: 6
tattoo parlors visited with her before she got one: 2
hours at work before we convinced her to skip out and go to the movies: 3
voodoo dolls hung in the lab: 1
voodoo dolls taken down for fear of bad karma: 1
visits to central market: 2
times i sighed audibly in annoyance because of idiotic rich people at central market: 17
saw the Crying Men exhibit opening at the contemporary art museum. heard mice & rifles play at rudyard's, a band that employs both a steel guitar AND a banjo. i liked it; perhaps i'm becoming more texan.
