Work, Car’s Fixed, Angie Aparo
I wish things were more interesting in my life. It's just the same thing every day. Wake up, go to school, go home for lunch, go back to school, and either go home for the night or go to work. There's only one 'or' in that sentence, meaning that there's only two different scenarios of my day. That's pretty boring.
Luckily my job is interesting. I've learned so much since I started working there last week. It's a great relief in my otherwise boring day to go to work. My boss, George, is an interesting character. Not only has he read nearly every book in the store, but he knows almost all of the authors on a first name basis. George was telling me about one of his favorite books, about the author going to Vietnam during the war to find out what had happened to his brother. He got very emotional while he was telling me the story, and then he said, "That reminds me, I need to give him a call."
So he picked up the phone and called the author, "Hey, it's George Scott. I'm doing great, how about you? I was wondering if you'd like to come to the bookstore sometime soon to do a book signing? Ok, we'll I'll talk to you later." He's a very interesting guy.

My car is finally fixed, and hopefully this will be the last time in a long time that it'll have to have any work done to it. I don't really know what they had to do the second time, but it's running better now than it ever has.

I'm going to yet another Angie Aparo concert tonight. I need a little change in my daily routine. This one's at the 40 Watt again. I'm really excited to go, because it's such a personal environment, and I'm looking forward to talking with Angie again. Before I moved to Atlanta I talked with his parents for a while at the coffeeshop and they said they'd try to get me something from him (i.e. an autograph, unreleased song, etc.). But unfortunately I moved before I saw them again. I've read on a couple of fan sites that they've been handing out his new single at some of the concerts, so maybe I'll get something anyway.
