AngelA’s left me again, for a week this time. It’s sad and depressing, yes, but it’s also an opportunity to resume Bachelor University.
Today’s lesson is: people will give you food if they think you’re unable to care for yourself. I’m assuming that this only applies to recent bachelors, but it’s worth exploiting. I scored myself a sushi meal of leftovers, which would have been a delicious dinner if only I’d closed the container properly. Now I have a backpack that’s been delicately perfumed with ginger and wasabi. Perhaps that “I can’t take care of myself” thing isn’t just an act, but we’ll be sure to find out as bachelor week continues.
To set the theme for the week, I’ve been going CD shopping. I wasn’t near any used shops yesterday, so I did some shopping around at the major chains first. That didn’t work out so well. I ended up buying an EP instead of the full length CD that I wanted, simply because the EP was so overpriced at store one that it seemed wrong not to buy it at the more affordable store two, even though I could have gotten a much better dollar per song average with the full length. The used shops yielded some decent bounty today, and if nothing else happens this weekend, I can rest secure that I finally own Mermaid Avenue. It’s long overdue.
An added bonus to all this is that I’ve rediscovered my stereo. The iMac has nice little speakers, but they’re still little speakers, and all these MP3s are taking up an incredible amount of disc space. Hmm, I just did some browsing around, and there might be an update to Bachelor University a little sooner than I thought…
Regardless of if the music’s on your computer or on CD, you can’t beat a good live show, and I’d be in danger of losing my fan club membership badge if I didn’t mention the upcoming appearance by The Golden Dogs at the Horseshoe on Monday night with First Born Unicorn and Choda nicely surrounding their 10:45 set. This is substantially more notice than I gave last time, so you should be able to charter a plane at a leisurely pace.
