good times

so thursday i went out =D trio subtonic was playing at mt. tabor theatre on hawthorne n 47th. i met s and j outside por que no? and we walked around before the show. s got a disgusting 4loco which was an ongoing joke. the show was great but people left. the opening band, the dirty syncopaters, was okay, they were pretty fun and danceable if in the mood to dance, they were funk with good horns and flute and female vocals, but they also did some ska with male vocals, alright, not phenomenal, but good. trio subtonic is absolutely sick, they sound as if there could be way more than three people. the drums hold a groove and tink around melodically, the bass is low and smooth partnering with both the drums and keys. keys, melodica and fx fully round out the trio while getting filthy at the same time. originals and a few radiohead covers (without the whininess of thom yorke) made the set both a completely new yet sometimes somewhat familiar experience.

i should've gone home at the end of the show which had the lights on when we were finally leaving, but hung out and then went to a bar that also turned it's lights on and i still went on to a late night food joint and got cheddar n jalapeno fries which also turned it's light on and must've been 3 or 4 bc they be open late. the drummer drove me home but other wise s would've bc he happens to be the most chivalrous person i think i have ever know. 2 hours sleep and a lot of caffeine and weirdness got me through the next day at work. which was 8am-3pm in the 2.5-3.5yr old room which only had 9 which made it more mellow. at nap this one kid thrashes around more than any child i had ever known. he doesn't do it in a defiant way, he just notices everything and moves around flailing his limbs, even while holding him keeping totally still and calm, scratching his back while thinking, go to sleep, go to sleep. it try to put him back on his mat, but that is worse and he just wiggles back next or on to me. but at least he is quiet and that is important. he fell asleep laying on me, but as i gently moved him back to mat he woke up, it was like my goal to get him to sleep, a lot. oh well.

i came home and tried to go to the end of the year pot luck but was completely wasted tired and although i got ready to go, it took me longer and then i would've had to wait for a later bus and not get there until 7 when it started at 6 and i really was only a teacher for 2 months, but still we see all classes everyday. they sent my email out. =D

i went to bed at like 830pm and woke up at like 830am, by default, i think bc my phone rang really loud but oh well, i stayed in bed til like 9 and feel pretty good, a bit tired and achy, but not terrible. temp is 97.6. i should clean, i want to go for a bike ride. i really want to go to a show tonight, but i have no money, at all, like $3 cash and $8 in the bank. i lost money and now am totally screwed but i am trying not to fixate. if it weren't such a big show i would ask for list =/ maybe someone can loan me money bc i don't get paid til prolly 9/7 bc it's supposed to be 9/5 but labor day, grr, either one is a long time away and i have stuff i need. and want =P

maybe i will sell books today. although carrying them is an issue. a sure to be painful and/or time consuming one. hrm. i should clean, it's amazing how quick it gets messy again. i gotta get on top so i just have maintenance. we can do it!
