Good Times with the Brizzoach
September 25, 2003 - 12:00am
This past weekend Will and Sam came to see me at my home in Athens and also to transfer me back to Winder. I was a lovely afternoon including Starbucks, people suspended in the air, Audioslave, and a trip to Barnes & Noble, where I bought, among other things, the Playboy Bartender's Guide, which curiously does not contain the recipe for a Sex on the Beach but does have one for Sex in the Desert. Somehow that seems rauchier.
A short trip in Will's ghetto-fabulous car put us at the Winder Sonic, where it promptly and quite suddenly died.
Just running along and then — nothing.
Will called up his "deddy" who arrived in no time flat and diagnosed the problem as the alternator. I have no idea what this means, but he and Will decided this after much standing in front of the open hood, frowning and nodding, so that's got to be significant somehow.
Will and his father switched cars, and we followed the ghetto fabulous car in the truck to the dealership where they left it for the weekend. Then we drove "deddy" home; on the way there Will and his father seemed like the older and younger version of one person having a conversation with himself.
On Sunday Maggie and I went to see Damien Rice at the Cotton Club and holy freaking hell! It was one of the best shows I have ever seen. I also have developed major Volcano-envy because he brought a girl from the audience up to sing the female part of "Volcano" with him. I was soooo jealous.
And also very happy for her.
After that this week has been a blur of stress, lack of sleep, art, mind crunching, and trying to stay confident in my abilities. Because I am a genius. Or something like that.

Jenna, I had a blast at the Damien Rice concert. He's going to be in Liverpool next month so I'm going to tell some of Steve's friends to go and see him. Talk to you later.

Omigod! You captured it perfectly! It was like National Geographic. His tire blew out yesterday. I think God hates him now.

That is good that you got to get out and have some fun. The not sleeping and stress though is not good.

Man, you have some crazy weekends, and you always have something to do! You lucky gal!

Yes, nobody could capture the essence of our eventful saturday as well as you did, Jenna. We must do it again sometime soon without all the cars dying and calling deddy on the phone and whatnot. You're awesome.

Winder has a sonic now? I'm so out of the loop.
Alternator means no juice for car, it's what recharges the battery. It's not good.
And just two more random thoughts to wind it all down.
Jenna is very descriptive. She has the writing bug.
And she is awesome.

Who are you, Artak? Just out of curiousity. Will someone please tell me?

Yea, I'm curious too. Who are you?! Do I know you?

I was wondering how long it would take for people to ask questions...
Sam, I think you know me, if you're the person I'm thinking you are, Sabrina, I'm not so sure, nor with some of the others.
I'm Jacob Padgett, went to HS (and MS, I guess) with Jenna, graduated same year. I currently am living outside of Athens and keeping myself busy.
