I don't even know what to do.. .this kid is gettin soooo big. 1st of all, I can't believe enough time has passed to have a 2 year old, and 2nd she is so freaking funny, i just can't get over it. She keeps taking her socks off in the night and putting them on her hands as gloves. she loves it. and she puts my gloves on her feet and calls them monkey feet. Where she comes up with this stuff is beond me. But this am, i just wanted to share with you all a quiet, super cute moment.

Black as your soul

So, I know its a little blurry, but i thought i would just take a moment to update you on my super black, super gross fingernail. I have yet to lose it, but i know its just around the corner.

I have a million things to update you on, photos to share, thoughts to expand upon, however, i am in the beginnings of visit #4 out of 5 for the month... so.... yeah, i think its gonna have to wait.

One thing i cant wait on tho, is sharing the fact that i was called for Jury duty this week. One good thing about the Cook County Criminal Court system is that its a 1 day only situation if you dont get called to a jury. So, i went on tuesday, at the crack ass o' dawn and watched 2 movies on this here laptop before i was sent on my merry way with a check for a whopping $17.20. I have 2 questions in regards to this: 1. whats with the .20? In all honesty, it seems that having change at all associated with this arrangement and not having it be at least in .25 incriments is just.... degrading. seriously. I mean, if I had been picked to serve on a jury, that means that for the duration, i am being paid $2.15/hr, which, last time i checked, was below minimum wage for a citizen, which you have to be to serve in the first place. Let alone i MAKE more than that just doing laundry in the comfort of my own home, soooooo I am here again because why? Riiight. Civic duty.

Well, that brings me straight to question #2: In my civic duty that pays less than the hourly wage of most non-citizens, are you, dear government, going to request that I pay taxes on my measly paycheck? OOOHHHH WAIT! Is that where the .20 comes from? No f-in shit... did I already pay those taxes? Bastards. clearly, not even my unbiased opinion is worth much....

The Morning After

There's supposed to be a photo with this post, one of my messy, smoke-filled hair and no makeup, just to show you the after glow I still have from Joe Arthur's set last night at Double Door. Blogger is letting me down however, and who knows when it will finally show up out of the ether. Have a good laugh at my expense when it does.

Anyway, back to the show: It was the first time that I have seen him with a full band, and this is a notice to all of you who may have the chance to catch him sometime on this tour.... DO IT.
It was awesome. He was in fine fine form... gettin all up and crazy with his singing quite evangelical in motions. I wonder if hanging out with Greg Dulli is rubbing off on him... seems that way, and you KNOW thats something I am happy about. Seriously, it wass good times. We chatted as per usual for a moment after the show.... ah, Akron connections. ha ha.

In Other News:

My dad has been here visiting all week, and its been really cool. It was an unexpected trip, and enjoyable since he's not been able to visit much at all over the past 6 or 7 years. So that is where my lack of screen time is coming from.

Really though, you should not expect too much from me since for the next 4 weekends we have visitors from out of town that i am REALLY FREAKING excited about. But, dont forget my undying love for you, dear internet, and know that I am never really that far away. (wink wink)
