"i'll give you a call." my ass. anyway, aside from uncomfortable encounters with selfish friends, life has been okay. the shows were good, the tea warm, and sleep very nice. my (most probable) highlight for the month of july occurred on tuesday. coheed and cambria came to milwaukee. i sat in front of their stage for about six hours, trying to save seats for all the friends i thought were coming. i thought they'd get there much earlier, but they didn't. it was all right, i guess. looking back, those few hours of solitude weren't so bad. it's not like anybody knew me there... but sam and libby finally appeared, and the party started. it was a fantastic show, with lots of claudio's hair flailing about. his solos were amazing. it was intense. uuurrrggg tooo muuuucccchhhh sub for dinner. michiko and her family are coming in exactly 24 days. ^_^ (my entire month of august hinges on her! sweet darling, that little girl...)
