You're never, ever, ever, ever there

Yesterday was odd.

So, what do you say to someone whom all you have left to say is how much they hurt you? Preserve the friendship because they are amazing and never say anything or say something and hope it doesn't turn awkward? Yeah, I don't know either. For the past two days, that has been my dilemma and the reason why it took me 2 days to write a reply email. I decided to leave the whole matter up to another time. Let future Jen take care of it.

After reply email was sent yesterday afternoon, I headed off to Greenpoint to meet up with the future landlord. I thought he wanted me to fill out a bunch of paperwork for credit checks but instead he just handed me the lease and said I can pick-up the keys from the current tenant at the end of the month. Hurrah! I was so absolutely nervous about the situation. It's been 6 years since I've had to deal with this sort of thing. Stay tuned for late September house warming. I promise live music and loads of calimocho.

Whilst on the drive in, received a very funny, annoying, strange phone call from Macy's. Seems someone had stolen the couch I bought there yesterday. For real. I bought a couch in their clearance center and someone who had bought my same couch but the slightly cheaper version (without the sleeper), that was sitting right next to mine, pulled a fast one and told the delivery guys that mine was theirs and stole it! Macy's said they can't go back to the person's house and go get it now. I'm pretty annoyed about the whole thing but Macy's is holding their couch for me for 3 weeks and keeping an eye out for another one that matches to come in. At least now I don't have to store a couch in my garage for a month until I move. But seriously, who steals a couch?


(on a side note, I write this sitting next to the open door leading out to my garden. It is peaceful and beautiful, dripping with colourful flowers and my dad just ran out of it screaming and flailing his arms like he is about to be murdered- he stepped on a wasp nest.)

After landlord meeting, I headed to Carroll Gardens for a bbq at Betty's. I brought a 6 pack of Bud Light Lime and it was a big hit. It's better than Miller Chill, I must say. After eating far too much, I was sleepy and headed for home to watch Throw Down with Bobby Flay. Today I think I am heading out to McCarren Pool to see Deerhunter and The Black Lips. Maybe.

I thought I was suppose to have a date, of sorts, I guess, maybe, after the bbq but it never came to fruition. Oh well, another time.

I have a shit ton of music to catch up on but instead, can't seem to stop listening to this cover of Cake's 'Never there' by Senryu. Reminds me, The Music Slut has some exciting news coming up just around the time of CMJ. Keep an eye out.

(side note to side note, my dad is now spraying wasp nest with hose. Kill dad! Kill!)
