Goodness! June 21, 2009
Posted by Katie Oh in : Such As , trackbackI am so very bad at blogging. I guess I just dont have anything to talk about?
I returned to my employment at the liquor stores. I’ve been to 17 of the 25 stores in my county. I play favorites. I memorize wine reccommendations. It’s boring sometimes, but it’s good money, and I genuinely enjoy working with some of the people I work with. Given, no one’s under the age of about 40, but it’s interesting to meet so many fully defined personalities. You learn a lot about a person by the way they approach their job.
I finally got my JesusPhone. Pre-ordered it, got into the AT&T store at roughly 7 am to pick it up. It’s stupid to say, but I don’t know how I lived without it. This is only the second time I’ve been on the computer for three days: it can just do everything. I have a new phone number, too: a new home location. Interesting.
I saw Bruce Springsteen. I don’t even think I got to that, it’s been so long. I went with my uncle Patrick, aunt Cheryl, and cousins. Patrick’s a Bruce Fan. Or, as I like to call them “Phish fans without all the drugs.” You know the type: every band has them, but Bruce has a lot of devotees. Look at me, calling him Bruce. Like I know the guy.
The show was excellent. They play what they call “Stump the Band”: fans bring signs with songs written on them that they don’t think the E Street Band can play. Bruce picked “Like a Rolling Stone,” which was, as it sounds, absolutely fantastic. Bruce was the downhome working-class boy to Dylan’s rebellious artist: both were desperately needed in their musical climates and have had a glorious career. The entire show was amazing in general: Bruce doesn’t look a day over 40 [he's almost 60!] and I have no idea where he gets the energy to run around the stage like that. I have the on my iPod and I listen to it and smile.
Today’s bill of events: outlet shopping and a cookout at my brother’s house. My niece, who is about to be 5, just got her first cellphone and I want to see what she thinks of it. Oh, lazy days.
