So, shopping for my twin sisters’ birthday yesterday was great fun. I was trying to find the perfect gift, and ended up finding many of them, for me that is. I just couldn’t help it. They are so difficult to buy for and I kept finding things that I desperately wanted. Yeah, you should see me at Christmas.

Didn’t go TOO overboard. Just bought the Freaks and Geeks series on DVD (excellent show), the new Local H CD, the new Modest Mouse CD, and, um, the White Stripes. I have a hard time admitting to buying the damn White Stripes CD because I couldn’t stand them for the longest time, but, well, they’ve edged their way into my affections. Then I picked up the latest AP magazine. At this point I was desperately unable to find either of my sisters a gift, so I just picked them both up a $50 gift card for Borders.

I was devastated to discover that the independent (and might I add completely awesome) record store that I’ve shopped at since high school is closing its doors. Apparently they’ve lost their lease, it kept getting raised and they just couldn’t afford it anymore. Not only does this place have a great music collection, both new and used, they carry indie bands that I can’t find elsewhere, they’ve also got sweet dart supplies, a huge selection of music DVDs, awesome clothing and jewelry, candles, lamps…you name it. Now I’m just trying not to feel guilty for all those times that I stopped at Best Buy because it was convenient at the time. I feel like an adulteress.

By the time I finally made it home last night my intentions to do laundry and vacuum were long gone. I dove right in to the Freak and Geeks DVDs and never looked back. I saved the CDs for this wonderful working day. I’ll post more info on them later, though I’m sure the Local H CD is kick ass, they haven’t made had a bad album yet. And I’ll try to actually work today rather than dive into that magazine which is calling to me from my bag, about three feet behind me. Well, maybe I’ll just take a little peek…

Dinner with the birthday girls tonight. I’m taking them to a new restaurant on the river. It looks like a very pretty little place. Their birthday isn’t until Thursday, but unfortunately I have to work. The big sis’s are 29…I’m sure they aren’t thrilled about the near-thirty-ness of it. Ah well.

Hmmm…just got interrupted by a call from another sister of sorts. I am not too happy with this girl. First, she was completely out of line in my home just three days ago. Second, I’m tired of putting up with her shit. Third, she’d better stay away from me, because I’m really sick of holding my tongue, and to be honest, I could care less if we never see or speak with one another again. I guess I shouldn’t be all that surprised that the girl has not a single friend. I'm supposed to be her maid of honor, but, well, I’m tired of her rude ass attitude. She can kiss my ass.

Damn it. I was trying to have a pleasant day today.
