speed reading

i am two chapters away from finishing Dogrun, which is due back to the library today. thought i would give myself a bit of a break though. i read at least 10 chapters yesterday night at Will's while he did homework and saturday at the hair salon. besides reading, at Will's we ordered Thai food and listened to records. Mike's girlfriend Lisa was over, then his parents showed up. His parents are great. his dad is hilarious. i can see where Mike gets it. after they left, we watched most of Edward Scissorhands... i like the movie but it always just ends up making me sad. plus i had hoped to watch the Hustler, another Paul Newman movie. i developed quite a terrible headache and wasn't enjoying myself til everyone decided to retire to their respective bedrooms. orgasms are good for headaches, just saying.

i was supposed to have gone to the Pink Spiders concert last night, but ended up skipping it. to my surprise, Matt Friction texted and called my phone, left a voicemail asking where i was! my phone had died earlier after ordering the thai food around 7pm. Matt called around 11 i guess. nice to know i was missed. we just exchanged texts a while ago, explaining my whereabouts. apparently it wasnt their last appearance and a new album is in the works this winter followed by another tour. Matt is relentless. the boy does not give up. good for him.

although i am not in any kind of christmas-y mood, i still think i'm going to put some xmas lights in my room, and probably leave them up long after the holidays. just because the other lights in my room are somewhat harsh, and i'd like lower lighting when it's just me and Will laying around. i'm leaving the rest of the decorating of the apartment up to Sarah, because i honestly could care less about being festive. we're not having a party so i don't feel the need to make the place look nice.

somehow i bit the tip of my tongue, and it does not feel pleasant.

i'm excited to eat all day on Thanksgiving. i don't know why we only get turkey on Thanksgiving. it is definitely a meal i could eat more often, especially since i don't really want to eat red meat much anymore. poultry cannot be beat in my opinion. and oh boy, i cannot wait for green bean casserole. that shit is heavenly. sadly, holidays don't seem that important to me anymore since my family is so small the past few years. without grandparents, holidays are lackluster. i don't even know if we'll be seeing my aunt/uncle/cousin at all around Thanksgiving. probably yes for xmas though. i wonder if i'll be invited to Will's family's this year for xmas, since this year i've seen his mom and dad more than had occurred last year.

ok attempting to finish the book now, then take a bath, have some nachos, watch one life to live, drive Sarah to school and return my library books!
