Okay, I mean it this time.

They Might Be Giants.

July. 16-17. 2002.

the Fillmore, San Francisco.

You will be there.

Oh yes, you WILL be there.

Okay, okay, so we're getting local cell phones. Everyone's been bugging me to change my cell phone so it's not a long distance call. Heh. bmpharmacy.com

Thought I'd do a little geeky bragging here. We got Handspring Treos. Weeee!

I've been staying up late a lot lately. Could be because I'm not working. I guess I am back into the night owl schedule like I used to be. It almost bothers me, because I'm on a different schedule than the rest of the house, so I don't really get to spend time with anyone. It's almost lonely. But I get a lot more done this way during the day, and I'm definitely more productive.

But at what price? Is this worth it? I think I need to find a balance between human companionship and self productivity.

Then again, I looooove sleep. Especially with no interruptions from other people. That's the ultimate. And who doesn't like naps?

Mmm. Sleep. Time to get some. Soon.

Perchance to dream.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to quote a good Nirvana song. ;)

The flowers seem to be some sort of Azalea, judging from my pokings around on the web tonight.

I guess I *could* ask her, but I could be too proud. Heh.

My flowers are wilting.

No, that's not a euphemism.

Kevin's mom gave us a lovely pot of blooming flowers as a housewarming gift, and they're starting to droop. I have no idea what kind of flowers they are. I'm searching endlessly on the web to try to identfy them. I'd take a picture, but (a) I'm lazy right now and (b) I don't want to take a picture of them when they're in this state because it doesn't show their true appearance.

Forgive me, I'm no horticulturist. The flowers are pink and white and look kinda ruffly. Almost hibiscus-like. The leaves are short and almond-shaped.

Anyone? Bueller?

I think we're almost in the clear...

The house we moved into is looking less and less like a warehouse, and more and more like a home. Less boxes, more personal items... less stress and more sleep. The light at the end of the tunnel is near.

We finally got our internet access up and running. We had initially ordered DSL... but on the day of installation, somewhere past four o'clock in the afternoon, we receive a call saying they cannot install it since we are "too far from the central office".

WTF.

Anyways, that's what took me so long. I should be back on a more normal blogging schedule again soon.

Oh yeah, and I did NOT get to see "Gigantic". Grr. It sold out before I was able to get online to snag tickets. Double Grr.

Since I haven't been online in a few weeks, I don't think I have much to share in the way of links.

Well, maybe just BonsaiKitten.

17 May 2002 is an important day.

No, it's not just Bob Saget's Birthday!

The 17th is the day of the West Coast Premiere of "Gigantic"! For those of you not in the know, "Gigantic" is a documentary film all about my favorite band of all time, They Might Be Giants!

The premiere is during the 2002 Docfest in San Francisco. More specifically, at Studio Z (formerly the Transmission Theater) 314 - 11th Street at Folsom.

Be there or be square.

Oh, and if you *are* there, let me know. We'll go get some pie or something.

...SOMETHING does, at least. I don't know what's going on. I've had a fever on and off for the past week and a half. At first I thought it was allergies, but I don't seem to have the respiratory symptoms anymore. I musta caught something in that gross recycled airplane air.

Bleh.

Still getting settled... we actually signed a rental agreement the other day. It's gonna be cool having a house so close to Kevin's office and the schools now. Should save us some time. Our house is cool... it's at the end of a court, and it's got a good amount of room with two fireplaces. All at a price not too much higher than our Kailua House. Bonus!

We start to move our stuff in on Monday, but we're gonna lay down some new linoleum in the kitchen this weekend, I think. Having a nice kitchen is important to me, since one of my recent addictions is cooking. That was my only problem with this house... that the kitchen was under par. But hopefully it'll work out.

I can't tell if I'm really tired or not. This stupid illness or whatever it is, is taking its toll on me.

Time for more joos.
