so i pissed off the metalheads!

ok, not quite. but the receptionist got a phone call this morning from a guy who found my quiet riot caption "rude" and i had to ask her to talk to him because i couldn't stop laughing.

we ran an old picture. the caption says: "cum on feel the noize as quiet riot brings '80s hair metal to the jungle tuesday. (band pictured in their glory days. this depiction may not currently be accurate.)"

i'm STILL laughing, despite the strange morning that found a letter from a relative in my inbox, pointing out a strange bit of infamily fighting to me, and bearing one line that, for no real reason, actually made me feel bad about something i'd said to my roommates (while we were fetching firewood from my grandfather's stockpile of the stuff, they asked who owned the workshops i gave them a tour of, and i, after a pause, said, "well, technically, i do, my cousin and i." i didn't mean it in any sort of snarky way - frankly i was a little shocked to be giving the answer, as i'm still a little shocked that it's true - but after finding that my snot-nosed cousin has been using "technically, it's mine" as an excuse to be a jerk, *I* feel like a jerk, however tangentially.)

anyway. maybe dinner with my mom on sunday night will clear something up.

(i still feel like i was acting an entitled jerk, though it's the last thing i meant. sigh.)

party tonight. as many people as can fit in my friend jef's small house. should be fun, but honestly? i kind of just feel like going home and cooking. between dharma talking about baking and my roommate making baguettes last night, i want to play in the kitchen.

(i roasted some garlic and splurged on cambozola to go with it. mmmm.)

i miss the weekend before last, J and i tangled on the couch watching basketball for so much of it, getting up to go buy nacho supplies, napping through half the arizona game before getting our shit together for the ben lee/har mar superstar show, to which nearly everyone i could possibly want to hang out with came, and a grand time was had.

maybe this'll be another great one.
