Christmas pt. 2

at the top: (thursday)
i finished writing that story..."Rape, of Different Sorts" as it is called...though i'll prob'ly add a few bits in the middle and whatnot...but it is finished for the most part...yay and stuff...then i got Jacques and we went to Jenna's for the group...after that we went back to The Apartment to watch some Young Ones...David was there...after a while Paul returned w/ Chris...and Paul was fucking smashed...they had gone to some party (and i believe he had 6 beers...) there was a big wacky scene...Jenna left after a little while...but Paul was really bad...i went home after a while as it was really late...

now it's spiraling down: (yesterday)
i woke up w/out quite enough sleep to go get Jacques and take him to get his check...after that i drug him out to Germantown so i could see if my check was home yet and wrap the presents for tonight and bring 'em over...so i did that...my check was there so on the way back out i deposited in ze bank...then we went to this used bookstore that rules so i could Jenna her present but ummm...ooh! it doesn't exist anymore! then Jacques told me of some other used bookstore so we went by there but ummm...ooh! it's doesn't exist anymore either! what bollocks, i guess i'll have to track one down somewhere or something...blah blah blah...then we ate at Pho Saigon...yummy vietnamese...back to The Apartment...Paul was on the phone making arrangement to meet w/ Leslie (one of the girls from the other night at the Deli) so he left shortly afterwards...Jacques and i then sarted watching Staring at the Sea (The Cure video comp, of course...) after a little while Paul showed up w/ Leslie to introduce her to the Young Ones...so we stopped the video at a convenient point between videos and watched some more Young Ones...David got off work early (like 7 - 8 or something...) so we try to contact Brad but there's no getting in touch w/ him...after the Young Ones we watch the rest of the Cure videos...then Jacques plays Marvel Vs. Capcom on the Playstation...at some point Justin shows up w/ Liz...more sitting around waiting for Brad...finally the point where David was supposed to get off work and show up arrives and still no Brad...we wait an hour later and still no Brad...in fact, he never showed up the whole night...and as we had been planning this christmas exchange thingie for a while he was either A) being a complete and total bastard or B) something really bad happened to him...hopefully it's just A)...also Jenna showed up at some point by then...we decided at about 12:30 or so to start exchanging presents w/out him...we had even been putting it off this long to accommodate Brad and his paycheck...but anyways, here's the exchanges:

Jacques -> David, Laibach: Opus Dei
Jacques -> me, Buzzcocks: Chronology (something i've been looking for for a while!)
David -> Paul, a Charles Bukowski book...
David -> Jacques, Bogdan Raczinski(sic?): Samurai Math Beats
David -> me, Add N to (X): Add Insult to Injury (sweet...)
me -> Paul, a small Bukowski thing illustrated by Mr. Crumb...There's No Biz like Showbiz, it's called or something like that...
me -> Jacques, Sonic Youth: A Thousand Leaves
me -> David, Boredoms: Onanie Bomb Meets the Sex Pistols

so yes...much rock'n'roll...after a while Justin and Liz left our presence...then we went to Huey's...after that Paul disappeared w/ Leslie...and it was just David, Jacques, Jenna, and i at The Apartment, but David soon went to bed...after a while of talk Jenna left and i found out that it was almost 4 am so i left...and here i am at home and stuff...la de da de da...
