also, i must be completely insane, because despite the fact that i have to wake up at 7.30 every morning for class, despite the fact that i stayed out until 2am last night (not a big deal normally, but see above re: 7.30 am thing), despite the fact that i have plans tonight, tomorrow night, friday night and saturday night, despite the fact that i am going to spend all sunday in the editing room, i bought tickets to see elliott smith in philadelphia on tuesday night, which means i probably won't be back in NYC until, like, 3 in the morning, assuming all goes well and the chinatown bus does not crash into the meridian like the last time (that was when, en route to DC, it crashed into the tollbooth-dividing meridian on the interstate, which set in motion a chain of events, including a punctured tire, a busted toilet, a rapidly spreading smell of urine, and a misguided Good Samaritan type, who went through the bus isle, spraying everyone with some ghetto cheap perfume in an attempt to mediate the olfactory bathroom fiasco, which ended with him accidentally spraying some big guy in the eye, and getting punched out for his troubles). but hey, whatever, because i am going to go to philadelphia, and have dinner with angeli, and see elliott smith. yay.
