it's hotter than a mac battery in here!

julie is here visiting, which is nice. she's kind of too cool for me though. it's hard when someone comes to visit and has never been here. you have to show them around and do things you wouldn't normally do. for instance, laurel and i prefer going to a pub and going home and watching a movie. but now i have the think of a million things to do to keep my company occupied. it's not bad, it's just funny. 

apparently i talk about chicago too much so i'm done. 

last night at around 1145 our upstairs neighbour came down with gin and orange juice. it sounded nice but it was really late. now my sister feels weird because i won't let her drink and she doesn't know this guy.... mind you, neither do any of us. but we feel like we have to be hospitable. long story short, he's a 20 year old gamer, econ major who thinks the humanities are useless and ate all of our chips and stayed until after 2 am despite numerous attempts to get him to leave. i went to bed at 2, laurel shortly afterwards but jerry stayed up, who knows when he left. 

i tried to finish that book for the imago dei book club but i didn't have time to finish it and plus julie's here so i'm not going to go to a meeting and leave her on my day off. it's okay. i'll finish the book later and on the bright side i read a book i've never heard of. 

guy upstairs, justin, also said that cds, books and movies will be obsolete soon. i disagreed and he laughed at me. rude. 

i woke up super sweaty again. i don't know if i can't sleep or if it's just too hot but i'm always uncomfortable in the morning. 

and the most important news of all! raul found out that of montreal is playing in november and a second later i bought three tickets. i will take the day off work and sit outside all day until the show starts to make sure i'm in front. no joke. their new album comes out in october so i can listen to it non stop and get ready for the show. o la vache.

oh and in that vein, yesterday was bastille day. jerry celebrated at some festivals but my sister didn't want to go so we went shopping etc downtown. i watched madeline in honour of the holiday though. 

today should be a good day.
