Hey everyone, After this first paragraph, I launch into a rant that probably won't really interest anybody. Not that this paragraph is that great either...Anyway, I got my B+S tickets in the mail a couple of days ago along with a friend's wedding invitation out of town for that same day. After much deliberation, I decided that a friend who would schedule their wedding on a Belle and Sebastian concert date is really no friend at all. I'll mail them their stupid blender and my regrets later in the week. Actually, I'll probably try to make it to both so I'll be running the circuit from Chicago to Champaign both ways that day. Speaking of Chicago, the Chicago bowling meeting was great. We were the twee-est bowlers in town and all of Chicago shivered in fear at our collective bowling might. Mad props to my Chicago homies Jen, Ray, and Robert. Anybody who will be at the Chicago show would be wise to e-mail so I maybe I can start working on something. I don't know where the theater is, or what the neighborhood around there is like so maybe I'm not the best man for the job...but e-mail me anyway so I can know who to expect. Allright...this is the part with the rant, however in my next e-mail which will hopefully come later tonite, I have photographic proof of Ken cloning scheme underway by microsoft. Stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel, for my next post ;) Sadly, I haven't been around too much lately. Work has kept me really busy. I'm actually e-mailing from work right now. The most *perfect* girl just left the office, unfortunately she's one of my coworkers. So I'm sitting here and listening to the Strokes and stewing. Why stewing you ask? Well, because said girl would be completely happy to be sitting here listening to the strokes with me...in fact it seems we would be happy doing a lot of things together. If it weren't for some old crush of hers appearing out of the woodwork to muck things up. I'm in Chicago, this feller is from Montana, some 1500 miles away. I've been crushing on her for weeks now, and suddenly a couple of weeks ago this guy appears out of nowhere, and now she is pondering what is going to happen between the two of them. At first I dismissed it as just a flicker from an old flame, and a couple of days I was ready to let her know about my top-secret crush, but when I got to work that morning she was positively GLOWING because boy had called and confessed his mutual crush, and said he was flying in to visit. GAHHH!!!! So now, I'm forced to sit and wait and see what comes of this visit. Are they going to decide that 1500 miles isn't too far? Will they rehash old times, and decided that reality is going to get in the way of their crushes? Does this girl have any clue about me? Does it really matter what I think until she figures this thing out? My hopes or guesses are: yes, yes, no,no. So yes, I'm in a real pisser of a mood lately. And I want VERY bad things to happen to Montana. But how can I not respect this kind of effort? You've got to give the guy a gold star for trying...but it still leaves a terrible taste in my mouth. Bah. End of rant. Thanks for hearing me out, y'all.
