2002-06-16 you CAN have fun with opiates and not be at a jump show.
So at her basement-warming party with Brookie I touched Rachel's cello and Chrissie told us about her 5 Jump, Little Kittens (all of whom died) -- Jonny died first, Evan died last, Jay couldn't hold his head up, and Ward drowned in the toilet. We had pizza and watched Amadeus. Rachel has such a cute apartment-type deal, it makes me want one of my own right now. I liked finding the Jump-related things throughout. She also has a cute cat. ---------------- I found it! It's "Can We Get Kinky Tonight" by SWV. We heard a remix on Album 88 and were flashing back to '97 hardcore. Now I'm downloading it.... And now it's on! I loved this song. By "we" I mean Crystal and Amanda, who were passing through on their way home (BTW, I had to call Crystal's mom back and reassure her because your mothers had expected you back ages ago and hadn't been able to get in touch with your cells, but I think she was okay after I called her.) Anyway, we went to the mall. I wanted to get some polo shirts for my dad at Parisian but we couldn't find his size. So I ended up getting him a visual guide to Episode II and at Wal-Mart, a Lego set of Darth and the Emperor. Rock. So at the mall, you can imagine my delight when I saw a Gir toy just like At the very strange store Eclectic Energy, which used to be the Warner Brothers store where I worked and which doesn't take checks, I bought a little Quan Yin figure, and the Dirty Girl collectible Zen soap set in a pretty box on which the Dirty Girl is sitting in full lotus, prayer position. Then we found some really. Interesting. Soap. It was powdered soap, that looked and smelled like actual detergent, called body detergent, in boxes that look like real detergent brands, only with weird names. For example, Lipstick Lesbian, Hottie, Queer, Geezer, and White Trash (more here). But Crystal and I? We wanted the Kinky soap. "Perversity in a Box! Now Contains Bondage Activator! Removes Lube Stains, Rope Burns, Handcuffs, and Innocence!" I bought it for Crystal for her birthday. If you need Burt's Bees stuff or awesome soap, go there. (Speaking of soap, wonder if he's used it yet, Crystal?) At LensCrafters I cashed in my coupon for buy-one-get-one-free of lens wipes. Hell yeah, motherfucka. That shit is expensive. Then we went to the 24-hour Wal-Mart on Pleasant Hill. It was ghetto and there was a bird in there. I was overtaken by the need to buy cross-stitch kits even though I hadn't done it in years. They had some little ones on sale so I got those and they are so cute. We contemplated buying fake leopard fur and putting it on handcuffs. They had a lot of pink lemonade there. I bought a multipack of cereal and a ring with a tiny glowstick on it. Wal-Mart rules you. After we went by Taco Bell and once we were finally able to get in the gate to the complex, we sat in the lot and talked while my neighbors were yelling and being idiots. After a while we got out to stretch our legs. Amanda said OW OW OW OW and Crystal launched the ice in her cup right at her, over the car. Good thing because I was about to kick Amanda's ass for that ;)
