Best Damn News EVER
This news tidbit is better than anything I could ever post in a million years. In fact its the best bit of news I've heard all month... Hell probably even all year....
Unless Orlando Bloom or Paul Walker declare their undying love for me that is.
What is this amazing news that has me so excited I'm almost like a kid at Christmas?!?!?!?
Simple.
My most favorite store in the entire universe is reopening after being closed for over a year.
You'll never guess what store that is, unless you know me pretty well... So here it be...
Cactus Records is reopening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Under different management, a few blocks down from the original location but its opened again as of yesterday! How I didn't know til today is beyond me...
Now its owned by 4 people, one of which is the old manager, and they have most of the old staff back (I wonder if my hottie from Corpus came back?), and its located at Shepherd and Portsmouth.
For those that don't know, Cactus was one of the last independant record stores left in the city of Houston til the owners retired and closed up shop last year. Apparently the old manager bought the naming rights and made it a bit funkier at the new location.
And they're still going to stock all the same Texas music and have concerts in store and everything... I think I'm in heaven....
So I'm sooooo going there tomorrow... And once I get a new job I'll probably just have them deposit my paycheck directly into the Cactus coffers.... I probably won't but I should.... It'd make life easier....
But yeah now I'm uber jazzed....
This just made a kinda blah weekend look a million times better.
That and I'm watching a Ben Harper thingy on TV... Gawd I love that man.

I got what is most likely the most wondermous compliment today from a friend of mine...
It wasn't based on looks, how much fun I am, what a good sense of humor I have, how great my back rubs are, or what a good listener I am... (the usual compliments I tend to get)
He told me I was strong and that he was in awe of that.... And my insight was phenomenal. (we had been discussing how men and women are different when it comes to being bitter)
I had an aww moment there....
ok its time for dinner...
later.
