I'm always happy to call bullshit
Josh and I made plans for Friday night. Naturally, he left me waiting hours only to have him back out at the last second. I got mad even though I should have seen it coming a mile away. On the other hand, it took me 10 years to learn to not count on my best friend in grade school, John, and I really only started hanging out with Josh in fall 2002.
The surprise end to this story is that Josh called me up Saturday afternoon and just apologized his heart out for being such a total asshole to me for the last 10 months. He has had this on-again off-again relationship with a girl in his building named Molly who keeps treating him awful and making him act in ways he ends up regretting. He tries to distance himself from her and whenever he does, she latches on tighter. I've watched this develop and seen Josh slowly become aware of the negative effect she's had on him. He asked for my help in trying to lose this girl and call him on his bullshit more. Hey! I'm always happy to call bullshit. I was completely not on his side before he called but I'm always a sucker for an unqualified honest apology that tries to put things right.
Tickets for Lollapalooza are bought. They came to just under $100 each and I'm kicking myself for not being trusting enough to have bought them for $35 BEFORE they announced the lineup. Kathy had emailed me about 2 weeks ago telling me I should -- I just couldn't bring myself to buy them blind.
What's up with the weather? It was 800F the other day and now it's snowing. I'm not complaining, mind you, it's just unusual.
I stopped in around 2:30AM at The Laughing Ogre after work tonight to see how the 24-Hour Comic Day artists were doing. Only 3 guys were doing it and they looked totally professional! I assumed more Crap Art-minded people would be there too. I brought them food but since they were already well stocked, I kept the Doritos for myself.
