we're having a garage sale at work tomorrow, where we will sell some of our stock - props, costumes, and some furniture. i am buying a piece for my very own. it's an old school console radio cabinet. one side is empty and i suspect it is the perfect size to hold my component stereo system (i have a bookshelf system for the tv/dvd set-up and a component system that is currently in a little pile on the floor because my jynormous speakers are at home in md). the other half is a hi-fi stereo and phonograph player that's german. it's way cool. currently it doesn't work, but it looks so rad. it appears that all the original parts and pieces are intact, including the vacuum tubes and everything. the dial face is broken on one end, which is sad, but it's still very cool nonetheless. i think the model number indicates it was born in '58.. and it has that martini lounge vespa-riding leopard skin rug bossa nova vibe. i really dig it and it's $30 so if it's junk, it's cheap junk. and, you're sposed to buy what you like so i'm really just following the rules. i will post pics once i re-arrange my apt. to make it a place to live.

yeah, um, it was -5 degrees when i went to work today. the wind chill was -23.
that's too damn cold.

and today it snows.
and snows.

band du jour: the rapture. such fun. can't help but tap the feet and shake the white girl booty just a little. it's sort of electropunk - hard to say. the lead singer actually sounds a lot like robert smith.

also today, took my new cellphone to walmart. it gets reception there.. which is a new thing for me. woot! we cruised the aisles, picked up some cd-rw's, some cheddar and sour cream chips and some cookies. yum.

tomorrow it's back to work. shit.
