Can't Sleep

It's kind of late, not that I have work tomorrow or anything, but I do have to go to work in the AM since I have a key in my pocket that is needed to unlock a very necessary cabinet. Today was pretty laid back and relaxing, minus the vacuuming at Joolie's apartment which I feared was going to cause me scoliosis. With Joolie's folks making their way to visit, her and I took a quick run to the local screen printer in the AM before they arrived. Our goal was to establish a much needed local relationship with a facility that can handle our Poison Scooter needs. I'm pleased to report that the visit to Kathie's T's was a success in that we got a decent quote and some very important questions answered. I'm looking to place a significant order on Monday barring any set backs for some very amazing shirts. The buzz around our Here Comes Trouble design is encouraging...

After our meeting with Mr. Kathie (who could be a pervy religious freak based on the conversation we had with him) we moseyed over to Big K to grab some cleaning supplies for Joolie's semi-annual back bathroom scrub down. I'm kind of thankful her parents are here, forcing her to clean that awful bathroom that her cat has turned into a giant litter box. The stank is intense in that joint and a good scrubbing seemed to have done the job. Since her folks called with an earlier than expected ETA on their arrival, I stepped it up and helped clean up her pad to give the impression that she is living the "clean" life I suppose. Which brings me to the amazingly short and broken handled vacuum that was fit for a hunchback. Mental note: Joolie needs a vacuum cleaner for her birthday. (just kidding)

I split the scene before the big arrival and spent the rest of the afternoon watching my "shows" on DVR. And fulfilling orders and folding shirts for PS. Looking back, I guess I didn't really accomplish anything of value today. And that may be why I'm so awake now....

Oh. I did buy a CD from ITunes. Does that count as doing something? This Bird Has Flown is the 40th Anniversary tribute album of the Beatles' Rubber Soul and it's quite good. There are a lot of artists on it that I enjoy, such as Sufjan Stevens, Ted Leo, Ben Lee, Mindy Smith, Low, The Donnas, Rhett Miller and Ben Kweller. And since it's the Beatles, I know I like the songs. Couldn't go wrong for $9.99.

Tomorrow I am considering seeing a movie which is something I haven't done in ages. Not sure what it'll be, I guess I'll surprise myself. And then I'm going to partake for a bit in the pumpkin carving ceremony that is apparently taking place in my foyer tomorrow evening. And then? Well, I'm not sure....but I'm going to do something dammit. And I'm sure you'll hear all about it.
