argh...

so lazy right now. it's gonna be a somewhat busy afternoon. for one, i am in DIRE need of a haircut. if i don't i'm convinced that those paranoid rent-a-cops at the airport will stop me for WMD in my hair - it's THAT bad.

also need to get to the library so i can find a spain guidebook or two for the plane. the two that i own are still quite good, but they're also about five years old. plus, it might be a wise decision to go to the library because i have a book that is due today.

and if i don't crash my car on the way back, i can spend a few hours with dad while mom and susie go to a (rescheduled) Mother's Day awards ceremony that the Col*rado Ch*nese Club sponsors every year. unfortunately, this is an annual outlet for my mom, since she was the inaugural 'Mother of the Year' in 1999. i've nothing against the award or the recognition that it affords to some local mothers and the years of toil that they have had to endure raising their children. that's cool. i know that i'm too much of a wimp to be a mother.

the one thing that i don't like about the club is many of their members are just extra lame flakemeisters. and that their gatherings are another opportunity for mom to bask in the 'spotlight' that she so desperately craves.

BUT...since i love my mother (don't we all) off i go to get the locks chopped.
