king" by Iron & Wine. I can't wait.) (Check)
One very full suitcase filled with sexy clothing for partying vegas-style. (Check)One car filled with a random assortment of work horses (aka people), complete with the essential ex-boy/fling/friend with benefits person. (Check)
One white skirt (in the case of drunken marriage with ex-boy). (Check)
One LA Times Daily Crossword (Check)
One wallet full of CASH for the blackjack tables. we're gamblin high roller style. (Check)
One twinge of regret for the Wilco show/camping I will miss (RIP my dear ticket) (Check)

units.

I like to break up my day into units.
And sometimes I like to think that I am very much like the guy in About a Boy because I get paid to do nothing and so I fritter about my day with the most menial of tasks. And I book bands that don't pay me. So, yes, I feel very much like About a Boy.(Exceptions: I am not an ass, I don't get my hair carefully dishevelled, my dad didn't make it big writing a Christmas jingle, and I really have no interest in dating single parents).

1. walk to starbucks. drink cappuccino. complete the daily crossword (yes I am awesome.) > 3 units
2. conference call with Drew and Jeremiah (booking purposes) > 2 units
3. putzing about myspace > 4 units
4. Booking emails/phone calls > 5 units
5. Teeth whitening (again) > 2 units
6. Post office/bank > 1 unit (I hate both of these errands very much)
7. re-ordering the netflix list > .5 units
8. trying on vintage dresses at Time after Time > 1 unit
9. Finish zip code madness > 1 unit
10. Talk to my actual boss, (you know, for my actual job) > .5 units

If you could see me now...

you would laugh.

because:
1. I have shorter shorts on than my 70's roller disco get-up. and they are pink. and I have a green velour short sleeved hoodie on.
2. I have a clear plastic retainer in my mouth, which is filled with some god-awful tasting teeth whitening concoction.
3. I am frantically cutting and pasting addresses into Mapquest to find zip codes for Corban and Cat Bag. (I never knew that Ho Ho Kus, New Jersey existed. NOW I DO. To think on all I've been missing out on...)

But, on a very positive note: I am listening to a duet by Johnny Cash and Tom Petty, "The Running Kind". And I got out of the apartment today and had human contact. A lovely lunch with Dave Reichle at the Aroma Cafe (amazing. it's in the valley, but you all must go). And, according to Dave, a cute male sitting two tables over 'checked me out'. I wasn't wearing the pink shorts/velour combo then. But, had I been -- I'm sure he would have checked that action out. so hot.

You are a pro at playing the age old game of hard to get.Your flirting style runs hot and cold, giving just enough to keep them chasing you.Independent and self-sufficient, you don't need any one person to make you compelte.And that independence is exactly what makes people pursue you.
