so, the plan show was excellent. tim came, and i got to meet up with dan and kev, who i haven't seen in over a year - really. not that i got to catch up with them or really hang out - but - it was great to see them. the plan was good, not my favorite time seeing them, but totally good. i guess we're usually a lot closer ... but that's not exactly it. dan and i were discussing this briefly that travis sings all the songs different than how they go, but in the exact same way. it's just stuff like that... i dunno .. the show wasn't the same, but was still good. word is they'll be back in boston again in may, and you know i'll go.
the damn personals were definitely that good. i would get their cd and listen to it. les savy fav ... well, i could have done with out them ... mostly i just wanted them to finish & let the plan go on. they did start their set by playing "my neck my back" and have the crowd chant along, which was (i thought) the best part of their set. got a parking ticket ... which made no sense ... since when do residential zones have meters, and no signs saying it's a residential zone? boo. but anyways, if i had to park in one of those garages, it would have cost the same. i might whip up some sharp letter to send instead of paying the ticket (it worked a few years ago), but we shall see.
when we got back, it had started snowing (who knew?) when i went out to move my car today for the girl upstairs, i swear there was 7 inches of the absolute lightest, fluffiest snow i've ever seen. it was nuts. it didn't even look like snow, it looked like cotton. it was weird. two hours later there were a few more inches. it was an adventure to get out of the driveway - an adventure that had us blocking oliver street and me pushing my car with my landlord, mo's bf, and the guy from upstairs, to get it unstuck. the rest of the roads were just wet and coming home from work was fine ... just the driveway & the roads in my neighborhood that sucked. stopped snowing a few hours ago, which is nice, since it was supposed to snow till midnight. if it's warm at any point in the next few days, i think most of this stuff will melt away.
made no cash at work tonight. if they hadn't had 4 of us on, i could have made something like i would have made on a normal night. i did get free chicken parm out of it, though, being such a good trainer and all (ha). almost went to see a movie tonight, but decided against it. a glass of box wine and better off dead was much more tempting. i'd never seen it, so that's a plus. kate's reading, mo's sick and in bed ... and i'm just up .. but it's all good b/c i wasn't in much of a going out mood. i'm still maxxed out on the bar scene ... or lack of scene. "meet your valentine at the foo bar" ... all i can say is god help those who do. there needs to be somewhere great and more fun to go ... i haven't even been up for leit's and i have had so so so much fun there. i don't think it really has much to do with the not-drinking thing ... b/c for the past 2 months, that's been my gig, a few beers while we're out, dd, and i've still had a lot of fun ... and now i think i may have just seen enough of the blarney, the foo, and leit's ... way too much of them june - dec.....
it seems ridiculous but i think i'm going to hit up the shower. i'm cold.
kates and i were talking tonight about moving, and her going to grad school in wisconsin (after 5th year) ... kinda sounds like a plan. i want to do everything, and i definitely want to live somewhere else for awhile ... or everywhere else for awhile. i love new england ... but i'd really like to live in a better little city and meet some new people. not that i don't love everyone here in worcester, but really ...
xoxo.
