the coffeehouse was quite fun. jude played oasis and it was awesome. people recited poetry, some of which had substance! ok, fine, all of it had substance. i'm just jealous because i know i'll never be able to write like that.
and i lied about rachel shredding the cello. she sang (the eagles!!! When we're hungry...love will keep us alive...) with becka-roo. they were splendid!!
dan and bill tore it up with jimmy-a-bob (might not have spelled that right but thats what it sounds like. you gotta say it very quickly) and a song about a cowgirl riding a mechanical bull. she lost. 5 times. yeah, that bull damn near killed her. they were awesome. i think a lot of people just didn't know how to react (you were supposed to laugh). i thought it was a practice in improv, but it turns out they actually... um... practiced that. :) major props to the honeydew duo.
afterwards liz rach gerry bill dan nick and i attacked the creamery. turns out some local middle school must have had a dance or something because it soon became packed. i think it is one of the few times i've eaten at the creamery without the hideous pep band shirt on! when nick and i walked in, our waitress was like no way you guys arent coming tonight right? we definitely strike fear into the hearts of npc waitresses everywhere. but yeah so there was like... this one chick... she couldnt have been older than like 12. and she was dressed like such. a. whore. it was ridiculous. bill thought it was hilarious, found out her name, and proceeded to have eye sex with her the whole time we were there, just to skeeve her out. it definitely worked. bill just was exuding skeeviness last night- in a plaid flannel shirt that he stole from a store on thayer street, a cowboy hat, and a pink tie. he was hilarious. nick was cracking up, it was great. rach is going with bill to the hendi winter ball. it's going to simply rock.
came home and definitely didnt rot away brain cells reading mindless crap. actually, yeah, i really didn't. i started undaunted courage for acadec. ugh. ::dies:: now i'm off to la biblioteca because i have so much work to make up from taking the day off for the pep band shock and awe tour 2004. then acadec at 2. then the evening with ryan for a belated compleanos.
but first... some lyrics. this band, zox, rox my sox. i'm going to see them at the strand on valentine's day!!!!! (liz rach rye and nick, call me asap) last night jude played eventually by them at the coffeehouse, but it didnt seem quite appropriate for this entry. (nonetheless it was excellent when she played it anoche!)
i think these will do just fine.
delicious by zox
what a difference a day makes
silence so delicious on days like these
and by the time that my resolve breaks
i've already found the beauty down on my knees
you know i want to be something
i never want to be someone new
some people telling me one thing
but i know if i fall i'll hold on to you
i've got the strength for believing
life is so contagious in times like these
you might say it's the season
and lift me up if i ask you please
i got a heart for intentions
don't always know where i'm gonna go
lead you a different direction
i can change your life if you let me grow
