look at me

So I can't remember why, but last night I put the radio on 101.5 (adult lite rock basically). I think I was flipping stations and heard an RHCP song. So yeah this morning it was on when I got in the car, and they played Edie Brickell and then a new Matchbox 20 song. It wasn't rawk-out but hell, I'm listening to the Cranberries and Beatles right now. And then I was on the Ballard Bridge when they played something else, and I was thinking it wasn't so bad. But then I slowed to normal speeds and, I could actually hear it. It was. So bad. I suppose I'm not yet an adult...

Drama stirred up again last week, but I think I managed to help kill it last night. Thank god. Now maybe I can work on my novel instead of bitching to people on IM.

I'm so in love with the weather again. Fall, you know. I wish it was fall forever. Although minus the daylight savings time thing. That thing is annoying, goddamn farmers and kids. If it was fall forever of course, there'd be no point. But the cloud cover here sticks the temperature in a range of about five degrees from 50 or so. Fuckin' perfect. I would so rather be unemployed in the fall than the summer.

This ad just kinda pissed me off. "Don't use drugs to numb your pain. Unless they're Pfizer-approved of course. Cough." (and i'm not just saying this b/c I used drugs to numb my pain this weekend, either...)

Speaking of drugs, I've managed to addict myself to caffeine, but I still have no tolerance. It's amazing really. I held off yesterday till 3pm though. The one problem is that my preferred method of consumption is via tea, and i bought this vanilla-caramel tea which just smells oh-so-good and I want toffee all day long.

Yeah, I'll give you an anti-drug . . .

actually, the new anti-drug commercial i find particularly annoying is the one with the kid playing by the pool and the announcer says something to the effect of "this kid will end up drowning because his parents weren't paying attention because they were too busy getting high." like, who the fuck comes up with this shit? really.

Unless they've changed format, 101.5 isn't "adult lite rock." It's just "pop music."

You want "adult lite rock", you want Warm 106.9. They've got Delilah and everything. Unless they've changed format.

That ad is enraging. Here they talk about knowledge being power to stop, yet their info is all sorts of fucked up.

I do actually go along with everything on that list though. Stamp me drug addict and ship me to Kansas.

hmmmm

Substance is often taken in larger amounts or over longer period than intended

Larger amounts, but I usually stop when I say I will.

Persistent desire or one or more unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control substance use

Who in the hell wants to cut down?

A great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to get the substance (e.g., theft), taking the substance (e.g., chain smoking), or recovering from its effects

Er, recovery.

Important social, occupational, or recreational activities given up or reduced because of substance abuse

Enhanced, baby!

Continued substance use despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent social, psychological, or physical problem that is caused or exacerbated by use of the substance

Check. Although they aren't really "problems."

Marked tolerance: need for markedly increased amounts of the substance in order to achieve intoxication or desired effect, or markedly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount

Never.

Characteristic withdrawal symptoms

Nope.

Substance often taken to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms

No.
