| 12:23 am -- Oh wow I'm mad... I just had to get up to journal cause I was annoyed, then ended up deleting everything I had just written which makes me even more annoyed! Dangit! Ok so here's why I'm annoyed first off.... all I had intentioned for tonight was a little SNL love... but unfortunatly Derek Jeter is hosting, and that boy is just not funny. Like not an ounce of humor in his entire body. Plus Shakira is the musical guest, but apparently she got confused and thought she was the stripper at some lame bachelor party because that's all her performance was... a belly dancer with a bad voice... PLUS my love Jimmy Fallon wasn't on hardly at all, which is a big bummer.... he is just the hottest thing ever! But Will Ferrell had some nice one liners as usual... in his George W. skit... "If you have a long beard, are hiding out in the desert, and are not a member of ZZ Top... you might be a terrorist " Well I had a good belly laugh out of it... Ok so here's the bizarness of my day today. So it was gorgous out, so I went out to Alki to hang out and enjoy the weather right? I'm just strolling along the beach, journaling, called the folks... totally relaxing... Then I see this nice little bar/resturaunt that has a happy hour advertised... So I think, perfect... I'll have a nice cheap drink out in the sun before I head home. What a nice little afternoon. Well, turns out they don't have a happy hour, so I'm heading straight back out the door cause you know I can't afford to pay for a regular priced drink! But the bartender stops me, and makes me sit down and proceeds to make me a drink... this very good Key Lime Pie tastin thing...then he proceeds to make me another.. and another... and wow turns out I'm getting lit up! Next thing I'm on the phone with Megan, exclaiming that I was drunk! And the guy didn't make me pay for a thing. Unfortunatly he then asked me to go to dinner with him, but I told him I had a phone call coming in at 6:30 (yes that's how early this was) and had to leave. So I took the money I saved buying a drink, and treated myself to a couple of nice strong coffee's and a copy of The Stranger at the Tully's nextdoor before heading home and ending my afternoon with one hella power nap. I get myself into the weirdest situations I swear! I'm also bummed cause I wanted to scan some pictures to put up here, but can't get the thing to work... so hopefully that'll happen soon. Ok, I think I can deal with the end of Derek Jeter now... let's just hope my Jimmy has something funny coming on... OR Chris Kattan too, cause that guys a monkey! |

| 9/22/02 --- 11:24 pm: Ok, I am one big ball of messed up-ness! Let me just be straight up and tell you I have some crazy hormones going on or something.... Ok, first off, let me just tell you all who I saw today... Howie Day.. He's not huge yet, but he's a little John Mayer, Jack Johnson singer songwriter guy. Anyway, I was in the U-district hanging out today, and walked into Tower Records where they were setting up an in-store for him. So I immediatly call Kaylin from work, cause he rocks her world, so she came down, and we had ourselves a little Howie Day concert love. However, just for the record I have to say I kind of think he's a tool. He just wasn't very personable, and didnt put on that great of a show. But he did have some sweet pedal action, and hey, I'm spending my time writing this dumn journal so what do I know???!! But you can check him out at what else www.howieday.com. Ok, so moving on with my day, Kodie and I went for a nice walk, then Don, the next door neighbor brought me over some tomatos and grapes...(yeah real grapes that he grows in his backyard!) So I decide to test the waters and make homeade spaghetti sauce no Ragu-ness. Turned out ok, really nice actually. But then I sat down to watch the Emmy's and oh did the floodgates open. I dont know what's wrong with me! First off I must say that there were some funny FUNNY as hell bits. Conan falling in love with Jennifer Aniston, and then Brad Pitt giving him the Meet the Parents look. WOW I was actually guffawing... and I dont think guffawing is that flattering, so I dont do it often. And of course Jimmy was adorable as usual, and Ray Ramano is a genius! But unfortunatly mad laughing wasnt the only emotion I had going on tonight. For some reason, I was a bawling fit of tears about 85:% of the time. Stockard Channing's speech about Matt Shepard, The Tribute to America speech...but the big one was the Oprah award. I mean, I dont even LIKE Oprah! But there I was, all crying, and hugging Kodie, blowing my nose like i just watched StepMom or something. Dude I got issues... | ||||||||||||||||
