so tonight i was supposed to go see bloc party with jacob. as of last night i was going to be his photographer as he did the interview for circle six. however, the plan quickly fell apart thanks to devo (jacob’s dog) destorying a pipe in the bathroom and me having to work tomorrow. so actually, no one went to the show. the show wasn’t going to start till 10, there were two openers, so i knew if i went i wouldn’t actually get home till maybe 2 or 3. so what was going to be a cool night became a night of playing xbox and falling asleep on the couch. and that’s why i’m up at 3:30 in the morning typing on my blog.

i had an interview for the leadership program at work on thursday. i think it went pretty well, so i’m confident i’ll get picked. i think they were doing the interviews to see who actually wanted to do it. so when i said in 5 years i want to be in some kind of management position, i figure that told them i wanted to do it. plus i told them i’d be cool with rotating to different locations too. so looks like i won’t be moving right now, but i’m not going to count on it yet, so i’m still keeping that july 19th date. and actually, i realized laurin’s wedding is on the 16th, but i don’t feel like moving the date up. and if i said that on the blog that i would change the date, well scratch that.

i’ve been listening to the new coldplay and white stripes this week. mostly the new coldplay. i like both of them. ‘speed of sound’ was in my head a lot today. i don’t think its as good as the last album, but it is very good. i wish i didn’t feel like on a couple of songs they were trying to sound like u2. also, after seeing a friend start sobbing to the performance of ‘the scientist’ on storytellers the other night, i started to think of what songs have made me cry. the only time i remember a song making me cry was lifehouse’s ‘everything’. but that was a rough weekend back in ’02, and the song really just gave me comfort. i can’t believe i left that out of my top 5 songs ever list. ‘everything’ is one of the best songs i’ve ever heard, i just forgot about it. its a shame the radio played lifehouse 24/7 a couple of years ago because my sister now hates them. i’ve told her to stop listening to the radio, but obviously for some people its like crack. and really, the radio is like an illegal substance, you think its good for you, but really, its destroying your taste in good music by feeding you with bad music, repeatedly.

now if i can get back to sleep, i need to meet laurin at the nissan place tomorrow then go in for half a day of work. at least i’m getting paid for the OT. maybe i’ll make it home before all the rain hits from arlene. IF we get any that is.
