monday morning boy

another week begins, lovely this time with a half pint of blackthorn and a couple of relaxed porch sits. im listening to steven malkmus' 'face the truth' on vinyl. good stuff. it's mb's copy, which i should return to him today because i don't think he has even listened to it yet. mb if you see this this morning, give me a ring if you aren't at work.

haven't started the new job yet. mausty says his boss is kinda out of it lately. i'm not worried at all about having the position, that seems pretty secure, but i'd really like to start making some money. amanda and i are moving at the end of july so we need to make sure to have our deposite for the new place ready. it always takes so long to get the last one back. drew and his wife amanda are moving to idaho, so mb and his wife lisa are taking their house up in pasadena. we're moving to matt and lisa's place a couple of blocks away to complete the incestuous housing trifecta. it's a really nice place, hardwood floors, garage, garden etc, and it's cheaper. so it's a win for all of us. but hopefully i will start the new job sometime this week just to make sure that things are kosher moneywise for our move and everything.

not much else going on. amanda wants to start modeling, so we're working on putting together a portfolio for her so she can get an agency and everything. she's not tall enough to do runway stuff, but she would be an amazing print model for adds and photo shoots and stuff. she would really enjoy it and she thinks it would be great for meeting contacts to later become a photographer. we've already gots tons and tons of pics of her courtesy of maust to fill a small country anyway, so that's a start.
