yesterday was a non-eventful. i displayed my desire to drive around blasting old mixes from freshman year, which turned out to be almost completely full of green day or at least any bad that is closely related to green day. on the first mix i put in, track 1 was green day, track 2 was pinhead gunpowder, track 3 was the network, and track 4 was the frustrators. later on i discovered another mix that was almost entirely ska. and entirely skerrible.
my list of things to do consisted of this (as so not to drive completely "aimlessly," as my mother likes to refer to it):
1. hello, i have a 40% off coupon for a dvd at borders. not to mention i kind of want a copy of hot water music by bukowski and recipe for disaster by someone else. so i go and scope it out, turns out there's really no dvd worth buying because i rarely watch things twice (except for free willy, but i'm kinda over that now). and i figure that it's cheaper to buy nothing at all than to give in to their coupon anyway. so i quickly browse the books and conclude for the thousandth time that they are way overpriced and i head out to the bookstore on the corner of read and guadalupe. there i peruse through some steinbeck and virginia woolf, but i end up in the world history section. i have three interesting finds:
1. the intellectual adventures of ancient man
2. middle east conflicts
3. the palestinians in perspective
so far so good.
2. next stop is double-take, the thrift store. still very over-priced, as are most things in santa fe. i'm here for a very long time. but after trying on 5 items, only one fit; a light grey 3/4 length shirt that says "WYOMING" in big red letters with a guy riding a bronc on it. omgsoindie. it's pretty cool. and it fits. imagine that!
3. next thing i know i have this unbelievable thirst for all things drinkable. the aztec is right across the street, but i want something cold, and their cold drinks don't appeal to me for once in my life. THEREFORE I MUST GO TO SONIC. i really want a cherry limeade. i get to sonic and change my mind and end up ordering a gigantic strawberry slushie instead. pretty satisfying.
4. i head down to agua fria and then to siler road to find the solid waste management building. i need a recycling bin. i find it but i'm not sure if it really is it and i keep circling and these dudes keep looking at me like i'm straight up loco, bro. so i get out and open the door and it's just a bunch of rooms and a vending machine and a vibe that says i'm really not supposed to be there. i noticed the bins through this gate, so i walk on and take one. mission accomplished.
5. the mall. i saw this tank top at... victioria's secret a month or so ago and now i'm finally interested in it. my tank top collection is lagging because my shirts are all mysteriously too short for me. so i scope it out and it turns out the shirt is an ugly piece of shit and that it costs FORTY DOLLARS. damnations! so i proceed to lenscrafters when all the sudden i see this weird as shit kid with this fitted hat, pin straight thick black bangs covering his right eye, a slipknot shirt, and those weird "bondage" pants. and he seemed to take himself very quickly. i walked away before i could see him get down on his knees and bow down to his pagan hot topic god. lenscrafters was busy and i go to pearle vision instead. on the way this guy in one of those booths they have in the middle of the mall says very loudly, "HEY, HOW ARE YOU DOING?" so i say that i'm doing good and walk along. and then i thought it would be pretty damn funny if i ever scored a date in the mall the only time i've been to the mall here in probably a year. but no. i'm sure he wanted to sell me a cell phone. so i get my sunglasses cleaned and adjusted and then i go back to the car.
6. i decide to go to whole foods. i wanted to go to the co-op, but i wanted a candle and didn't want to go a bunch of different places, so i went to whole foods. i got soft tofu, vegan peanut butter cookies, vegan chocolate chips, tahini, and an earth scented candle. it is quite nice. i have mixed feelings about whole foods.
7. i have film to pick up at visions but i don't have enough money so i race home and i race back when my mom doesn't have any cash either so i conclude that i'll have to use the card. i got 5 rolls developed and it cost $70. and about 20 pictures came out okay because (now coming to the conclusion) my camera is jank. i think it has a delay with the shutter because they were mostly overexposed.
that's basically it for my extreme errand run. i went to the bitch + the exciting conclusion show at backroad around 8:30. it was really really good and i highly recommend that you all give them a listen. kind of ani difranco, indigo girls, but angrier and more political. i hate comparing.
then when i returned i soaked in the hot tub and watched an episode of veronica mars. and went to sleep.
