seven days until Hawaii.
saw My Bloody Valentine in 3D last night with Mike McMullen. it was okay but the 3D glasses sucked because you don't get to keep them, at least not from Marcus Theatres, and they were huge plastic clunky things and i had to wear them over my regular glasses and it kept sliding down my nose. very uncomfortable. but the effects were cool, as i had never been to a 3D movie before.
Saturday night, hung out with John. got baked in his hot tub. talked in there for about 2 hours. somehow came to the realization i may have been abducted by aliens at some point in my childhood based on vivid memories that may or may not have been dreams. tried Red Robin for the first time. note to self: don't get the bayou burger again. do get the onion rings.
tomorrow i go downtown to see the show that Will's band was supposed to play with him and brett and probably steve. it feels like i haven't seen him in a long time, but it's only been since wednesday. we sorta had another misunderstanding about a certain symbol (<3). its so hard when we have a problem because we almost never do. it makes me think i wouldn't be able to handle us breaking up. not that i think that's in the cards but still. i really do need this vacation with him.
wednesday i get waxed for the first time ever. that will be interesting.

i love love
even though it rained most of the day, after we ate dinner at My Thai, it had cleared up. there was only one other couple on the ice, and then a girl alone, and a guy alone, not all at once. it was like the ice rink was just for us. besides the lame satellite radio channel, it was a perfect night. i know its so cliche and cheesey to say, but i love being in love.
wasn't supposed to see him on Valentines day. the plan was just to go see Brendan Losch by myself. just before i left for the show, Will called and asked me to come over. so i went to the show, saw Brendan, took pictures, came back and hung out with my Valentine.
reading Watchmen. halfway done.
2 weeks til Hawaii.
we're (hopefully) seeing Watchmen while we're in Hawaii.
i miss my dog.
i want to teach Rudy how to play dead. i want to point at him, say BANG, and have him lay down upside down. that would be awesome.
it's sarah's birthday today but she's not home. i thought she was coming home.
it's lonely here.

dogs are better than blogs
watching the Westminster Kennel Club dog show right now. The breeders that I got Rudy from... their champion dog Bad Boy won a Award of Merit in the Irish Setter breed. As far as the Sporting Group goes, an English Setter placed third, I believe. I think that will be my next Setter, an English, because they are supposed to be the most calm of the three. I would get it from a rescue place though. But I would hope it would be a younger one so I could change his name easier. it would be called Falcor of course. the striking resemblance to the luck dragon from Neverending Story. this is only because I don't think there are very many white wire haired Dachshunds, and English setters are the next closest to what I would think a dog version of the luck dragon would be.
this is Vineyards' Bad Boy (Rudy's relative):
I still want to get Rudy involved in the pet modeling thing, see what that's all about. he could definitely be in commercials or print ads. i don't know if he's got the patience for a movie role.
I went home this weekend because there was nothing to do in the city since Will went to his suburbs to visit Drew, who is now released from the hospital. I hung out with John and played Wii for hours. I finally rearranged my room at home too so that was nice. Still have some cleaning to do next time I go though. We took Rudy and Major to the vet for their kennel boarding shots so they don't get sick while we're in Hawaii. also found out that Major has a heart murmur but it doesn't seem life threatening because he has never exhibited any symptoms like shortness of breath or coughing or sluggishness. He's getting an eco-cardiogram when we get back from Hawaii. John's dog Cody has always had a heart murmur and he's been fine and going on eleven years old now so I'm not too worried at this point.
Mine and Will's anniversary tomorrow. We're supposed to get dinner and go ice skating, as long as the rain holds off.

still no job. hire me please?
got a call from WBBM-AM about a possible job. weird call though because the guy, his name being Jim, production manager, was just calling to go thru resumes with people. he didn't ask me if i could come in for an interview after asking me a couple basic questions. that makes me think my answers to said basic questions were sub-par. so much for excitement.
i wrote to some dog daycare places. i really want to work at one if i cant find something in radio right now. hopefully one within walking distance so that Rudy can come to work with me! that would be ideal. i just think it would be more rewarding than working some weird retail job.
Mine and Will's 2 year anniversary is coming up. Feb 11th. Hopefully he won his hockey skates offa ebay so that our date can consist of ice skating at Millennium Park. he has never been ice skating so it should be hilarious. i haven't skated in years either, so its not like i'll be any better at it. i just really hope its not freeze-your-gonads cold that night. we also plan to get Thai food. plenty of hand holding and making out shall ensue. i don't care that i act like a stupid romantic comedy in real life. love does that to a person. we're not disgustingly mushy all the time, i promise. then for Valentines day we're probably just going to go see Casablanca at the Music Box. i don't care to make a big deal out of that holiday. it's just nice to share it with someone.
also coming up in exactly 34 days is our trip to Maui. my third time, Will's second. i was so happy when he asked if he could come with again. not that i was complaining about going again but it is fairly upsetting to just be with my parents for a whole week. so hopefully we'll have acceptable alone time.
recap of other stuff that's been going on...
i went home for a week. saw the doctor, got some free birth control (score! i can successfully put off getting impregnated for at least 5 months, ha), hung out with john and went to the new Sonic in Lockport (greatest munchie food ever btw), got a haircut that wasn't at all necessary, had indian food, and went to Rudy's obedience class where he is the best behaved dog in the class!
had to stay out behind the glass because we brought Major along and he freaked out with all those dogs in the room. so i spent the hour watching from afar and calming down Major Scaredy-dog. so we walked around and he was fascinated with the toy isle.
also, last Friday, went to see FCAB play at the Soundlab in Mokena and then went back to Stefan/Mark's house for the first time since they moved there. so close to my parent's, i should hang there more often. JoePat kissed me on the forehead AND pinched my cheek and gave me shit all night for not drinking nor taking my coat off the entire time. i left early and i felt lame but oh well. Kyle ripped open a finger from rocking so hard:

purpose, not porpoise
purpose (n): something set up as an object or end to be attained, intention; resolution; determination.
i feel like i am searching for my purpose.
what am i supposed to be doing with my time while i am jobless?
i feel useless a lot of the time.
i know that i'm not, but the feeling sticks around anyway.
i know just obtaining a job might not change that, but it would be a nice distraction that would at least allow me to pay my own way.
in the meantime, i been taking pictures for GSMD like its my j-o-b.
hanging out with Danny Milk tomorrow if it decides to stop snowing. bowling, movie, and food at Earwax. thursday is the CHIRP meeting, and its supposed to only be about 5 degrees out, oh joy! and i have to wait for TWO buses to get to this new cafe they're holding the meeting at since the dankhaus is no longer our HQ. but the cool thing is Nick Krkles is joining up so that'll be good to see him and have someone i know involved. friday might be lunch with Dane Deasy, and then i dont know what the weekend holds.
both sarah and kristen seem to be getting sick. i really don't want to get sick again. so i'm barracading myself in my room.

ultrasound, safe and sound..for now
had an ultrasound last monday for my every-six-month check up to make sure more cysts aren't growing. all clear for now. sadly, though, i've been having the WORST period cramps i can remember in recent times. yesterday was a nightmare. i felt awful.
sarah and i made dinner, and her new girl that she's dating Kat came over.
i've gotten started on One Tree Hill series. currently on season two. i'm not sure how i like it. haven't watched enough to make an assessment, but i'm keeping up with it so i guess that means i don't hate it. i just never really like WB shows because they're too preachy, so far this one's been ok with that. 90210 started back up again, so has Nip/Tuck but i still haven't watched the season premiere yet. saw the first five minutes and i can't wait to watch, its just that i've been sucked into One tree hill.
Will's band is having a show tonight and the weather is super shitty once again. Shannon and Alicia were planning on coming out. i made them promise that if the weather continues this way they shouldn't come. i don't want them having a problem or getting their car stuck here once they're here. plus if they come then they're staying overnight, which normally would be ok, its just that then i won't get to go to the afterparty probably cause they won't really enjoy it and then i won't be able to sleep over at Will's and sleep in with him in the morning- one of my favorite things to do.
I'm cold but our gas bill was really high this past time so i've made the thermostat stay at 67. before it would set itself at 70, which is way too high. my room gets boiling when its at that temperature. and i really like having all 5 of my blankets on my bed to make myself a little cocoon at night so i don't mind being cold when i go to bed... but just sitting around in the living room sucks. especially cause our window is still stuck. even with the towels i stuffed in the crack, the heat goes out and cold air comes in i'm sure. so i can never sit on the couch comfortably when it's blow freezing outside. i just can't wait for winter to be over already....
why isn't it closer to march yet? i really need those vacations.
