so, the roommate moved in last night. as soon as his russian speaking family left he started playing a mix cd of rap music–and on that mix was GANGSTA’S PARADISE. i have a feeling there may be many interesting stories this semester.

boy do i have a lot to talk about. first of all, i am living in maryville again in my very own apartment. as of tomorrow, i have a roommate. a russian speaking transfer football playing student. obviously, we will have a lot in common.

i just got a call from mr. goodcents, so it looks like i’ll be working in the food industry AGAIN. for the last week i have been jobless and going insane.

on saturday, i went to a wedding with my boyfriend (four and a half hours away). it was a little weird, of course, because i hardly knew the groom and don’t know the bride at all. it was a tiny little church, so it was kind of weird for the minister to walk in wearing a microphone headset strapped to his head. jesse and i looked at eachother and kind of laughed…but then the minister started talking and sounded like, “a broken mcdonald’s drive-thru speaker” and it was probably the funniest thing i have been witness to in a long, long, LONG time. inappropriately, we laughed throughout the entire ceremony. we had tears in our eyes and were sweating uncontrollably. it was so hard not to just lose it and laugh loudly. we laughed the whole time. during part of the ceremony, the minister sat down and played this really bad contemporary version of amazing grace, but his headset was still on and you could hear him licking his lips and moving his mouth over the music!!! holy christ, it was so amazing.

in other news: everyone should see the movie “bubba ho-tep” PLEASE. i emailed maurine a description of it that went something like this: it’s about an elvis impersonator and a black man who thinks he is JFK (he was dyed and the public was just told he was dead and some of his brain was replaced with sand) who live in a rest home. they battle a mummy who sucks souls out of the rest home occupants through their assholes.

the library closes in 1.5 hours. i’ve got work to do (more time to waste).
