weekend.
last week seemed surprisingly short. happy about that.
i went out for ethiopian at Addis Ababa on friday night with ben & his mom. it was so so good. really good. then we went to see a mighty wind. it was a good movie, although not as funny as spinal tap or waiting for guffman... the newspaper said it was "heartwarming," and i quite agree with that.
on saturday i went to independence center with ben & we went to hot topic. i'm always curious about the state of mainstream culture, and hot topic was totally not encouraging. lots of really young kids looking at piercing jewelry and scheming about how to get their hands on the various black baggy pants, seemingly all sharing the 60-dollar pricetag. yikes. but i did notice that there was quite a diverse crossection of "alternative" cultures represented by the staff, just more emo/mod kids. despite my taste in music, i don't like them much. mostly because they spend so much time on their hair/looking just right. it's a personal complex i'm going to have to get rid of. maybe its the fact that they all seem to wear fake old t-shirts, which seems a bit misrepresentative (though i'm not one to quantify misrepresentation [see third paragraph])... if you're gonna pretend to be a thrift shopper, stop it. it's annoying. and i thought white belts/ties were overwith. i guess not in the suburbs. eeeh. i'm being overly judgemental. stop it, hannah. anyway, i bought a Ladytron record and a Hot Hot Heat CD because it was on sale, it's not so good. don't buy it.
so then on saturday night, i went target with my mom after a minor family-wide freak-out pertaining to a ride to a party my sister was going to. i had a gift certificate to spend there, so i bought some stuff. nice-smelling perfume & a woven fake leather belt & a surprisingly thin and stretchy sweater. but then i realized that my mom forgot my gift certificate. i bought the stuff anyway. whatever. my mom bought mothersday presents for herself: garden snippers & clippers & loppers & croppers (i don't specifically remember the names, they just rhymed like that.). i love to hate consumerism. absolutely love it.
so then i stayed up late because i couldn't fall asleep... read a magazine and tried in vain to sleep. got to bed, i guess, around 1am. woke up today at noon. so it feels quite like morning still, though it's almost three.
i'm going to go slowly get ready for a LGBT brainstorming meeting at 5pm. how objective this post is of me.
