the BRUTAL, UGLY truth of my FABULOUS, BEAUTIFUL life.

6:59 p.m. + 2003-09-18 = 42.85$

my mum is on a mission to get me the cheapest flight to san francisco. this means that even though my deadline for having ticket-in-hand or at least receipt/hard-copy itinerary was thursday... today... 1 hour ago.

well, the ticket, whilst not mine, is as good as mine. tomorrow. mum's getting it direct from aircraft company. and if that falls through, we have our backup plan, the ticket currently on-reserve for me at a mankato ticketing agency that, i must say!, kicks slight ass. not massive ass. just slight ass.

however, the day is dreary and cold and rainy in addition to failing my deadline. i just want the ticket in my hand, the ability to lick it as proof that i have it. that i am going. but as redheaded orphans belt out, tomorrow is only a day away.

so, i did what any normal person would do... since i'm saving 50 dollars by waiting until tomorrow to get ticket, i spent 50 dollars (42.85$ to be precise.) all i wanted was a used copy of the replacements album with the song "answering machine" on it so i can make the mixtape process grueling again.

the cd store did not have this... and i almost bought it new (at a cheap "supersaver" price), but then there they were... shiny and new... begging, teasing, taunting... like harlots upon the corner, "c'mere suga'... wanna take me home tonite? it's a slow night... maybe a two-for."...

um... was anyone going to tell me that weakerthans released a new album? why didn't i know about the new quasi album? i don't remember if i liked them or not, but i'll give this mates of state album a go... it's new....

yeah...42.85$...money i technically don't(rather, shouldn't) have. which is okej cos i'll be working far too much next week to be able to spend any money.
