I'm a mermaid.

Okay, so there's the movie Girl With a Pearl Earring, which is based on one of my favorite books, about one of my favorite artists, and stars my secret girlfriend. No, I could not be more excited. Except I am.

I cannot wait for America's Sweetheart, the new Courtney Love album. They've been playing "Mono" on the radio and I f'n love it. It sounds like Live Through This + Celebrity Skin. I was thinking, wouldn't it be funny if because of the low expectations or in spite of them, she made her best album ever?

Enough about that, I'm bored with that. I started back to class this week. My last quarter ever! Class last night: Fine. Four hours. Cool people. I got giggly realizing that all the girls in the class, myself included, had surreptitiously grown their nails out over break. You don't know what you've got 'till it's gone. Class tonight: Freshmen. I don't know any of them. Unfortunately, this is the only time this class is offered. I'll live.

Actually, I think I'm going to do well this quarter. If I don't get distracted by travel plans, that is. What's Vegas like in February?

I don't know if I'll go to Vegas. I'm not really planning on it but it would be fun. If I do travel before spring, it'll most likely be Seattle and Portland. If Vancouver is solidified, then maybe I'll go there, too.

I've been listening to my soundboards and hello, wanderlust. And um, the other kind of lust. Hee.

Of course, all this traveling is dependent on something rather important that I shall find out later this week. It's a secret right now but I'll (probably) let you all in on it when I find out. If I'm not too freaked. Let's hope I'm not.

I do.

(That's the secret, right?!)

Of course it is.

Vegas in February is relatively cold, but it's still full of Vegas-y fun. I've been once in late January, and we had a great time. You could walk outside comfortably during the day, but it cools down a lot at night so you'll definitely need a jacket. You obviously can't hang out by the pools, but there's still all the other stuff to do.

I've never really seen Vegas dead; there's always a ton of people from the L.A. area who drive up for the weekend.

If I go, it will be for shows, so I won't be spending that much time walking around outside. I hope. Vegas is a long shot, but it would still be fun to go.

I think there is a site that will tell you what conventions are going on in Vegas at a particular time. That's a good thing to know before you go. It has a lot to do with the vibe of the city. Like you might want to avoid the huge porn conventions.

oooh....if you come to Portland you have to at least say hello.

[rockgeisha.livejournal.com]

There's probably a ton of sites out there that would be helpful, but heh, I've been too lazy to search.

If I come to Portland, I will definitely be saying hello.

I'm torn on Courtney. I love Hole but she's a crazy bitch in a bad way.

[rockgeisha.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she's especially been craaaazy in the past year--all I kept thinking was, What about Frances? I've always loved the music, though, regardless of how ass bad she gets.

[jovievital.livejournal.com]

Oh how I know you love the music!

I wish I lived in an area that had radio that didn't suck or had dial up so I could listen to America's Sweetheart's first single. Blah. It's coming out next month, right?

Here's hoping you don't get too freaked out about what you're going to find out.

[rockgeisha.livejournal.com]

According to Amazon, it's coming out next month. I love the cover art, but that is so not Courtney's body. I tried to listen to it on kazaalite, but everything on there that says it's on the album is apparently "Malibu."

And no, I found out and I'm not freaked. It's cool.

[pastahero.livejournal.com]

Yeah, apparently Pink's latest album consisted of "Trouble" with 13 different titles. Kazaa sucks!

that's the time i love the best

Wait, at what point does your girl-crush become your secret girlfriend? Because I think Ewan might be peeved if Maggie became my secret girlfriend. You can only have so many secret significant others.

I haven't heard any of the new C. Love album because she is dead to Seattle, but I've only heard good things about it, I hope, even if she goes totally insane and gets a lobotomy or whatever, that she does well this time around.

Re: that's the time i love the best

I don't really know the proper procedure for secret significant others. I only have the one. The others I'm just keeping secret from each other.

It's so funny to me to hear "Mono" on the radio because it sounds so much better than the other stuff they play--all those other bands "who are mad at their dads," to quote Bowling for Soup.
