they're doin' it right.
oh my word. i am in seaaaaaatuuuuhhhhl with my adorable family members and it is lovely. my godson (leo) is cuter than your godson, and has the deepest voice of all children under the age of 4. he is a daredevil extraordinaire and will visit me wherever i am because we are one and the same. my other cousin is named charlie, smaaaaart, 'really loves science and dinosaurs and things of that nature' and calls me 'jennie' (which is my favorite name for myself though most think it doesn't fit). and i love them both.
anyway, so i'm here and its fantastic to be a visitor somewhere for the first time since ehoo-DO-pah
and DEAR LORD. i just got back from the kexp office!!! aaaahhh!! andohmygoshiamsoexcited. i got super giddy before, during and after. i'm pretty sure they all thought i was an absolute fool, which is fine. seriously, i got more nervous/happy about kexp than i have any boy or place in europe or anything period since 1984. i am not over-exaggerating. seriously i was shins-happy as shelley, amanda and marta were at the SXSW That Dreams Are Made Of a few years back.
why am i giddier about public radio stations than i am about boys. i seriously feel right now like girls do when the 'hot guy' in high school ask them out on dates, or something.
the station is in pit of a building, an the inside is humble little place with walles covered with posters and signatures and heaps of cds and records. i met jack walters (yess) and an underwriter named damien. their soundboards are larger than any ive seen, i saw the phone drive room and lots of wires and pretty much anything i couldve ever hoped for.
ok anyway the kexp people are all wonderful and i cant believe i was just there, just now. you know how people date others just because they're in bands or on sports teams or rich, etc? ok i wouldnt do that with anyone - except for people that work at kexp. i would seriously steady date any of those dorky musical wonders fightin the good fight.
why am i such a GIRL right now. i apologize for all this ram-buhl-ing, but really. did that really happen - that thing - like, just now?
ah! imissyoutalktoyousoon.
