  • Music news that matters and shopaholicism 2004-08-16 20:58:15 Music: Bam Thwok - The Pixies
    Mood: worn out

    here's some music news that I care about:

    The Pixies recorded a new song, in like... June or July I think, and well, I just found out yesterday, and was able to download it today. It's called Bam Thwok, and it's pretty cool.

    also, CAKE, one of the greatest bands EVER, who wrote the song to which my only music video is made too, and to which my next music video will be made too (yeah, the wheels are turning, as soon as I get my new computadora this thing is getting MADE) anyway, CAKE, who roxors my boxors, is releasing a new album on October 5th! and all I have to say is "WOOOOOOHOOOO" I hope it doesn't suck, cause I liked their albums Fashion Nugget and Comfort Eagle, but not Motorcade of Generosity or Prolonging the Magic. It's been 3 years since they released Comfort Eagle, which kicked my ass, and I'm really hoping that this one is as good if not better. As soon as I get some money's I'm going to preorder it, and when you preorder from sonymusic.com you get a bonus CAKE CD, and an autographed booklet... ooooooOOOOooOOoO. I just have to convince my parents to let me use their credit cards... they both said no when I asked earlier today... maybe tomorrow though!


    Well, I'm afraid I have a terrible disease... shopaholicism... it's disgusting. I hate being the stereotypical girl who just loves the mall, but I can't help it. I spent all the money I had on clothes today at Aeropostale (a new pair of jeans, a jacket, a sweater/hoodie, a new polo t-shirt, and a free t-shirt I got with my purchase of over $60) I also bought a Nirvana bumper sticker for my car, but i'm not sure I'm gonna put it on my car because 1) bumper stickers are kinda tacky, even if you put them on the glass, and even if they are Nirvana, and 2) my car's a benz... albeit, an 89, nothing fancy... BUT IT'S A BENZ! I dunno if it's morally legal to put a bumper sticker on a benz... it just feels wrong. I also bought the Nirvana patch, I'm gonna sew it on to the back pocket of a pair of my jeans, and it's gonna be cool. then I'll wear the jeans a lot and make htem all grungy like... then I'll learn guitar and move to seattle... yeah, I'm cool.

    And I stopped by my aunts today so my mom could fax some stuff, and I got my paycheck, $101... just under the amount I owe my mom for the Pixies tickets -_- I'm glad I'm working tomorrow, and I'm actually going to talk to my dad right now, to ask him if his photographer friend still wants me to work for him... CAUSE I REALLY WANT TO! oh how I need money *cry* so much I want... Car CD player, new CDs (I hate downloading music!), new computer, to go to Montana in December, new clothes, all this stuff costs money! bah! But aeropostale is hiring... maybe I'll apply, I mean... I could get a nasty discount, and it's only like... my favorite clothing store EVER... so yeah... that's all I have to say about that.

    Music: The Pixies - Where is My Mind

    GREAT NEWS: I got tickets to the Pixies concert in New York this December!

    complications and the story behind the tickets: well, it all started with the announcement of New York tour dates... an event that tickeled me in a way I cannot describe, for if I did you would say "that's too much information" Later that day I was in Stop and Shop with my mom, and saw Brian working it in the express lane. So I went up and said hi, we got to chatting and I mentioned the concert, and that I was going to attempt to get tickets. My point in bringing this up, was because Brian is the only Pixies fan I know, other than Sam, so the only person I would want to go with me, he promptly said "see if you can get me one." The plan was set, we would get tickets for the show on Sunday, December 12th.

    But here come the complications: the tickets went on sale at 12:00 noon today (or maybe it was 12am, and I just read it wrong, that's why I couldn't get tickets) but several other dates had become available. The only ones still available were for the most recently announced show, Wednesday the 15th of December. Which my mother put in her "NO" list, because it was a school night (even though sunday was too -_-) and because Brian probably wouldn't be able to go with me.

    I begged and begged and she finally agree to let me purchase the tickets once I said that if it ended up she wasn't gonna let me go, I could always sell them. So, I have tickets. I'm not sure Brian will be able to come with me, because it's right smack dab in the middle of his exam dates where he's attending college. This is a problem because, even though I'll have my lisence by time the concert comes, I wont' be able to drive anyone, thanks to the new graduated lisencing laws in CT. Which means, my companion for the night will either have to A) drive themself, or B) have had their lisence for 6 months so they'll be able to drive me. Possible replacements for Brian are Joey, a good friend of mine, his, and Sam's, or Josh, a very good friend of Brian's and Sam's, who I hung out with a bit last summer when Sam was here, but I've never really talked to since. But he's cool, so maybe I'll invite him anyway, and we'll become better friends.

    So now I'm in the hole $105 with my mom for the tickets (which, as soon as I get my paycheck, tomorrow, I will be able to pay off) and she says I owe her big time until December. I'm so excited! Sam and Jamie are gonna be sooo jealous ^___^ I'm jealous of myself... The Pixies are my favorite band that's still together (for right now...) (even though this is a reunion concert...) I'm SO EXCITED oh December cannot come quickly enough

    now here's some other non-pixies news: I get my lisence on October 15th (or I test for it at least, did I say this in the last journal entry?), my Gussy kitty is still missing =( sad, but my dad got a kitten for his birthday (the 11th) and he's ADORABLE TO THE EXTREME!, Kayleigh broke her dogs leg (complete accident), and I decided I'm buying all of my friends panties or boxers for Christmas (I can't wait to see the looks on their faces! ^.^) I got my car the other day, it's an 89 Benz (I'm so Connecticut...), but the radio is tempermental, and the tape player doesn't work, so my CD player adapter won't work, so I'm putting off buying a new computer so I can buy a CD player for my car.

    all in all, life is good... I've got a lot of expenses that I need to pay for coming up in the near future (car stuff, cd player, computer, pixies tickets), and I really need money... oh well, better get working ^_^

    I'm out

    PS: I got tickets to the Pixies concert... oh wait, I told you... BUT I'M SO EXCITED I JUST HAD TO SAY IT AGAIN... I STILL DON'T BELIEVE IT!

    Music: Smashing Pumpkins - Thirty-three

    my kitty is missing =( he's been missing since Friday, aw, sad. I really miss him. A couple days after he was lost, my dad got in contact with a woman who thought she found him, and she said that he's been coming around her house and she would feed him, and she would try and catch him after work. Well she caught him, and my brother went over to pick him up, and it wasn't him. My dad was so upset, because he got his hopes up and thought he found his cat. He cried, and he admitted to crying himself to sleep twice because he's so upset. So me and my aunt called the animal shelters and told them about my cat, then we made flyers and faxed them to the shelters and vets, then put them in mailboxes and posted them on telephone poles and what not. But I've already given up hope, I dont' really have a lot of faith in finding lost pets, it's just not realistic. My dad has already asked his friend to check out the MSPCA (uh... in short, big animal shelter in springfield mass.) and find us another long haired orange cat. His birthday is next wednesday, so he wants a new cat. I think it's kinda early, but whatever he wants is fine.

    but here's some good news: my dad says he's gonna giveme $200 for a new computer. On top of that, he just bought me a car, he's currently getting it detailed and repaired and what not, and he's gonna get it registered soon ^_^ I finish my instructional driving hours on the 10th of august, so I'll be able to take my lisence test after that. I'm so excited =D one of my best friends, Sara, just took her test, but she failed the written part =( poor Sara... that tells me I'm gonna really have to study. and practice practice practice my driving so I don't fuck up during the test (I ran a stop sign the other day...! what an idiot!o_O) I really need to practice on backing in (I can't do it for my life) and paying attention... haha

    My dad's photographer friend wants me to come work for him... YAY! Nick is really cool, I've worked for him before, but it was only four hours, and it was last year. I really wanna go back to work for him, he has his own dark room, so hopefully in my spare time, after I've finished with work, I can develop some of my own stuff (and maybe I can get some free portraits of myself out of him ^_^) Since I've decided that I want to go to the Hallmark Institute of Photography after high school, I bet working for a photographer would look really good on my application.

    I bought The Smashing Pumpkins CD Siamese Dream, it's really good., I've been listening to it pretty much non-stop, but right now I've gone back to Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness, mostly because I think that thirty-three is one of the most beautiful songs ever and the lyrics are just really nice. But back to Siamese Dream, it's got some really great songs on it, like Today, himmer, Disarm, and Mayonaise. I just love the music of the Smashing Pumpkins, so many of their song and lyrics are just beautiful and wonderful and everything good. All this Smashing Pumpkins talk makes me think of Jamie, because he's in love with SP, and it was after I came back from Montana that I started buying their albums. I remember when I first started talking to Jamie all he talked about was SP, he was so happy when I told him I started buying some of their CDs. After I buy my computer I'm thinking of buying another one of their albums, I'm such a shopaholic x_X

    well, I should head off to bed, I have work bright and early tomorry (9:00 o_O!) Chris got kinda pissed when I reminded him that he agreed to take me in, which means he has to wake up at 8:00, he doens't like it when I remind him that he says he'll take me places. So, right, bed... (but I'm really going to play snood... but then it'll be bed! I swear!) I'm out

    Music: The Pixies - Monkey Gone to Heaven

    I'm so fuckin pissed off right now. I don't think I've ever been so mad at my computer. It's just been giving me so much grief lately I'm thinking of putting it out of commission, and asking my parents to advance me... oh... 1200 to buy a new computer, then I could pay them like, $120 a week to pay it off.

    And hey, I should make my mom pay a good sum of that money, because she uses my computer ALL THE TIME... and not to mention at the most INCONVENIENT times. She comes in my room at the most unholy hours, tapping away at the keyboard and messing things up, then complaining that it's not working... well of course it's not working, you idiot, my computer hates you! Not to mention all the pschological stress she's putting me through, constantly coming in my room to check her e-mail, and then using that as an excuse to stay in my room and look over my shoulder as I'm doing my own thing online (ya know... porn and stuff... j/k, but I never know when my friends are just gonna send an inappropriate message, or ask me a question regarding some event in my life I'd rather not have my mother know about)

    In the meantime, I have become bored with the internet, and have overplayed snood and such games to the point where it is just painfully droll to get to the part where I can actually ENJOY myself, which takes about 20 minutes, which just isn't worth it. So I think I'm about to take a screwdriver to this piece of crap and take out something (maybe the motherboard, or power supply) so my mom cant turn it on, and I won't be tempted too, knowing I will have to install stuff. Maybe not today, but soon, this stupid piece of crap is gonna get a piece of my mind, and it aint gonna be pretty.

    I'm out
