Well, I've finally crawled completely out from beneath the giant rock that crushed me for several days beginning New Year's Eve - which I spent with Justin & Emie of Advisory. I met up with them NYE at The Know where they played a set. Actually, Emie hasn't been in the band for a long time, the bassist now is a chick who kinda looks like a punk rock Strawberry Shortcake - her shoes, bass and hat were all a matching shade of lipstick red. Supposedly we are filming The Art Police primarily at their house/studio next Saturday the 10th. Tomorrow is the first day of winter quarter - my final quarter at last! - and it just started snowing. AGAIN. I got less financial aid than I did last quarter - a lot less - even though I only went down 2 credits. I'm going to talk to the FA office about it tomorrow, because what they didn't give me was my $1000 Oregon Tuition Grant, which of all my financial aid is the thing I would most want to have, obviously, over the loans. I am in a really irascible and pissy mood, have been for about a week now. I am housecleaning in more ways than one. I just finished going through a bunch of shit and rearranging my room. Took all the files out of my file cabinet, boxed them up to ship to San Francisco (at some point), then walked the beat-up crappy old file cabinet to the corner & dumped it. I've done it before & people seem to pick up the stuff I leave, so why not. I love the feeling of getting rid of stuff. But it takes a while to shed the accumulated clutter of years of living as an all-embracing pack rat. The truth is I am done with Portland and I really just want to be gone. I am also selling a desktop computer with lots of expensive software pre-installed (Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Final Draft and Dreamweaver!) and my bike, with pump and helmet included for a small extra charge. If interested, inquire to anthonyletigre@gmail.com (if you live in Portland, Ore. of course.) I suppose I'm going to watch the new "Brothers & Sisters" in an hour, although every time I watch it I ask myself, "Why am I watching this ridiculous, sappy melodrama?" Of course, it's just because of Scotty & Whatshisname.
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS FOR 2009:
1) No more alcohol
2) Stop being friends with passive-aggressive snakes who covertly despise me
3) Eat healthier, cook more, continue to exercise regularly and get back on a normal sleep schedule
That's all I got right now.
TIGER OUT
