blah is the only word i can use to describe the weather for the past five days. its been cold and damp and gloomy as hell. the sun came out for maybe a half an hour yesterday, but i slept thru it because Rudy gets me up at 7am, keeps me up til 10 maybe 11am, then i try to catch more Zs til about 1pm. i love having this dog, i really do. i just hate winter. i would be fine if there were some sunny days in between, but almost a week straight of rain and gray skies has gotten to me. i just hope that he likes being with me. i do the best i can. i dont remember Blackie being this hard to take care of, but we all shared responsibility back then, even Mom before the stroke so she was able to go and walk him. but now by myself and living on the 3rd floor of the apartment building in the city, in the winter, is especially hard to take care of a 6 month old puppy. that being said, i wouldn't trade him for the world. and i want to keep him with me as long as i don't have a job. and let's face it, that won't be for a while.
last night i went to a Bulls game with Jason. his sister had gotten 4 free tickets somehow so he invited me along. they played Dallas Mavericks. Bulls won 98 to 90 i think it was. people were both happy and pissed. i say pissed because if the Bulls had scored 100pts or more, everyone would have gotten a free Big Mac. but Ben Gordon had control of the ball for the last 20 seconds, and pretty much just let the clock run out without even trying to score. i'm sure he didn't really have a clue, but people were booing him at the end anyway. which i think is rude. they still won. it was a good game. sucks that cheese fries and a coke cost me $12 though (including tip for our waitress. waitress because we had 'club' seats in the 200 level.)
tuesday night Will came over. We ate at Streetside and then we watched The Long Hot Summer. its a Paul Newman movie. i've been wanting to see all of his old movies lately so i'm netflixing them in chronological order... at least the ones that sound interesting. The Hustler is coming next.
tonight i am going to the Double Door to see this guy Aaron's new band, AMFM. he is supposedly putting me on the list. if it turns out i have to pay, i'm going to go see FCAB play at Cal's instead. i just don't feel like having to pay for a band i know nothing about, even if i know the bassist. well, i barely know him. and he has a crush on me. and i don't want to perpetuate giving him the wrong idea. i don't understand what it is about already being in a relationship and then, and only then, having other guys be interested. when i was single and really wanted someone between soph. year of high school and junior year of college, NO ONE wanted to be with me. then i found someone so compatible, that i am so much in love with, that i would never ever leave just to fool around with other people.... and THAT's when someone else wants me. i never had that phase of 'dating around casually'. i went straight from getting lead on, wanting a relationship from 2 different people, both of whom did not want to be with me until after i was unavailable, to being with someone very seriously. and i'm not saying i want anything different. i just wish it would have happened when i was free to be in this kind of situation. but i'm not going to jeopardize what i have with Will. i'm positive i won't find anyone more compatible, more right for me, than he is.
tomorrow night, Drew (Will's roommate) is playing at the Beat Kitchen with Brendan Losch so we're going to that. Beat Kitchen has awesome food, too. i just wish they could put us on a list so that we wouldnt have to pay the $10 to get in. that seems pretty steep for a Beat Kitchen show of what seem to be local unknowns. i dont know the girl who is headlining. never heard of her. i can see paying $10-15 for a touring band, like The Pink Spiders, who will actually be there next sunday. hopefully. Raf texted me last night that he quit TPS. because Matt is being a jerk. he's not the first to quit, and i'm certain he's not the last. i think the show might be their last, unfortunately. i just wish Raf had stuck it out to the end of the tour, its over in like a week.
time to feed Rudy.
