one week until take-off. honestly, i know that i am addicted to spending money on myself, but there are actually a ton of necessities that one needs as an interviewee. for instance. i certainly cannot go to a professional interview with a purse that looks like a drag queen carried it. actually, i have two bags that drag queens have carried as part of their respective ensembles. anyways, most of my bags and shoes either came from the weigh-and-pay and look destroyed, or were once decent looking and i have since destroyed them by wearing the shit out of them. so. point being. this is very important. first impressions are crucial in the workplace. i have never really been into wearing "nice things" because they don't have too much character, but i guess this is just one of those times.
in other news, the indefatigable ms. aly is now working at the LTK with me! however, saturday is my last day before i begin to tread the treacherous waters of unemployment again. but, you know, hopefully it will be very temporary.
...i am going to the city that my favorite musician of all time used as his muse. eep! maybe i will go on an elliott smith memorial tour by myself to division st. and the rose parade and alameda and what not.
have i mentioned that i am excited? it is finally setting in and taking away the anxiety. i am just plain elated that i am getting the fuck away from this town and these people (except from the ones i love here, of course) and these memories and beginning anew so i can create and love and flourish. my anticipation and excitement currently know no bounds. also: applying at powell's books today! yay!
anyways. i have things to do and people to see today before i work my little ass off tonight. gird your loins.

....wait...you're going to Pasadena?
....Elliot Smith is from Pasadena?
elliott smith was born in omaha, nebraska, spent his childhood mostly in texas, and lived in portland for quite a length of time (refer to records: "elliott smith" and "either/or"). he did eventually move to l.a. and died there, but portland was his true love, as far as places go.
