if you've read my blog even once before you will know i'm going to new york. for a wedding. and it will be awesome. but somehow the wedding is on at the worst possible time for me to see the bands i'm in love with.yesterday i declared that my life's plan is to dance to interpol. life's ambition denied. because they play NYC about a week before i get there. arctic monkeys are the same. kaiser chiefs are there the same time as me. in fact so much the same time that they are playing the exact same time that my friends are getting married. i contemplated finding a way of doing both but i'm pretty sure it is not feasible. the biggest heart break was morrissey - who i miss by like days. then there are the bands that play hours after i leave (bloc party) or a couple of days after i leave (lcd soundsystem).
luckily though i'm there in time for genesis.
i hate new york.
despite this i'm saving for it. which is why i'm having my weekly to-dos. last week i set the bar low and still failed to deliver. mostly because i keep buying songs on itunes (spandau ballet's gold anyone?). hence my creditcard use. that plus the visit to the bendon outlet store in otaki which somehow is like introducing my wallet to the toilet (in that my money seems to get washed away). but i did everything else: dancing til dawn (or thereabouts), 90210 special features, and lots of toasted sandwich lunches.
this week i will try and raise the super low bar a little, just to inspire some kind of action or inaction on my part. i will know it is a good week if:
- i use my remaining student loan overpayment cheque to pay off some of my credit card debt
- i find some concerts to go to in the USA that do not involve phil collins
- i buy some awesome sunglasses to go with my new bathing suit
- i remember to charge my cellphone consistently
- i take my lunch to work at least one day and have zero berry yoghurt trios for breakfast
- i have a fabulous afternoon tea with hels.
