baby...oh baby.
This week the man and i went to visit our friends Emily and John and the newest addition to the family, little miss vivie. such a cute and such a pleasant baby girl. nothing but smiles and coos. We didn't get to visit long but we'll be back again. last night two more friends Chris and Wendy also had a baby, Lily. Today I'm visiting with my baby cousin Mikey who's very...active. he's been moving and shaking since I got here and hasn't stopped. Right now he's mad at his aunties shoe. He's talking to the shoe but it's not much of a conversationalist.
...now he's moved from his turn table play land excersise thingy...
...now he's in a "boppy"...
What the hell...reason #989489 why i don't have or need children right now. I can't even describe half the toys in the pile next to me. Mikey is now giving me the side eye...maybe he know's i'm blogging about him. or the funny faces that i keep making at him are making me seem like a fun play thing. i don't know but he now has a kung fu death grip on my chucks...i have to save my foot.
until later.

Drum & Bass Saved My Life...
this week has been pretty somber, with the exception of working my "side gig" on Sunday my only real excitement has been speeding through rock creek park during rush hour listing to Nu:Tone-Back of Beyond and being reminded of why I love Drum & Bass so much.
I remember the first time i ever heard drum & bass...on MTV at that, you know when MTV actually played *gasp* music videos! I was going though a terrible bout of insomnia caused by depression (my home situation) and anxiety (my high school situation) and Roni Size-Reprazent came on at 3am....i though i lost my fucking mind. Being from the Nintendo/Atari generation I could appreciate the synths but it was the drums that got me. it also didn't hurt that Roni Size himself was a wet dream waiting to happen (i'll admit I like "older" men)...I went from being "the weird girl" at school to the "even weirder girl". I cared what they thought about me but not enough to stop digging for more music.
When I relocated to DC in '03 my interest in D&B wained over the years as did my interest in most music. it wasn't until i got an ipod for my 22nd birthday that i started going though itunes catalogs and realizing that i had a musical void in my life. I made acquaintances with a girl i saw at Modern often and through conversation we both realized we both loved D&B. Though her I found out about High Contrast and Klute and i fell in love all over again.

oh look...
it's valentines day.
I sent a text message this morning that said..."this is the time of year that halmark tells me that I have to tell you that i love you....you won't hear me say it again until next February 14...sucker..."
and that's me in a box.
A special someone sent flowers to my job and since its my day off i went stopped by to see if I should take them home or leave them on my desk. I opted to leave them on my desk. I spend 8-10 hours a day at work I'll see them more there than at my apartment because all i pay attention to there is the TV and my Sims game which isn't going that well. I can't wait for spring honestly. Nothing is worse than being broke in the middle of winter when all of your options, besides sitting at home and playing Monopoly or Blink! are going to the movies (and we know how worthless that endevor is), going to the shopping mall also known as the "new urban babysitter", going to the bar and since I don't enjoy going out and drinking as much as I like sitting in my apartment and drinking or going to "The Mall" and getting run out by tourist and lack of parking. I really want a bike. The man and I were looking at some pretty cool ones in Target but lack of storage space at either of our places will allow for that before the spring so we'll wait...even though everyday I drive through Rock Creek Park on my way to work and go..."damn...i wish i had a bike! I would SO bike to work just so I could walk into my office all winded and dehydrated and go "WHOO! Man what a ride!" Okay that's a lie...I'd bike around Rock Creek Park on the weekends or after work, only when its warm and only when my hair isn't done...so maybe I shouldn't get a bike...it's a commitment that I'm not ready for.
