i have just finished elizabeth wurtzel's more, now, again. it's about addiction. i couldn't put the book down - i was addicted - for three days. i believe i started this book on monday of this week, and now i have finished it.
it makes me want to dig the copy of bitch out of my car and read that, see the final product. what's weird is all this stuff was happening back in the nineties - back when i was a kid and/or in the cult. i wonder what it would have been like to actually see her on larry king and know what was going on (oh wait, we didn't have cable back then...) VH1 should do a special on that. or make it part of their rock docs series.
speaking of vh1... the last time i watched vh1 was last week, i'm not sure exactly when. i watched the "drug culture" part of the rock doc series, or something like that. it was fascinating to see all the footage from way back then, to be reminded that "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was speculated to be about LSD, to see the hippies and what they were all about. i want to know about the whole cultural ramifications of that period on who we are as a society today - was the drug culture really as prevalent as vh1 makes it out to be? and, where are they now? were people seemingly as weird about drugs as they seem to be today, before drugs became part of pop culture? hmm it's a cause for further investigation...
and some thoughts about my current situation.
the fact that i keep getting checks until the end of august makes it that much easier for me to procrastinate finding a job for fall. i keep telling myself that i will get really serious about doing research and getting interviews after we move, after i have at least a temporary address in my new State. i was thisclose to going to panera (for the free internet and of course, cinnamon crunch bagels) with my computer so i could bookmark all the important websites of which i need to stay aware. but it's thismuch easier to stay here and play "what not to wear" with my boyfriend's closet, because i just realized i don't have any cash.
i'm going out with my friend K and her friends tonight. i'm not sure if boys are welcome. i'm not sure how i feel about this. i suppose it will require redefining my own personal purpose for going out. which i haven't had to do ever because until a few months ago i had been mostly perpetually single, and going out always had the purpose "to meet people" (ie, boys).
or was it always about that? maybe it was just about being with my friends and socializing. maybe it was merely about people-watching and i wasn't necessarily always looking to meet people, but rather just to watch other people. to see how they were dressed, how they accessorized...
in this instance it is just for drinks, to watch people in this new city, and for catching up with people.
so, how was the people watching?!?! any mullets?
