TV on the Radio is my current favorite band. Everyone needs to go out and pick up their EP "Young Liars," if you haven't already. Good stuff. I promise.

Oh yeah, that EP has them doing a cover of "Mr. Grieves" too, if that's any extra motivation for you. Really, who doesn't love covers of Pixies songs?

Malkmus and the Jicks tomorrow. I've seen them...

Monday morning. As I was driving back from the boyfriend's house this morning, thinking how much I did not wish to face Monday and all that it brings, it occurred to me that the drive between his house and mine was kinda like purgatory. Halfway between a cozy bed and warm body and showering/getting dressed/going to work. Heaven and Hell indeed. whatever

The Hidden Cameras were...

Well if it counts for anything, Jayne sent me some Postal Service stuff and I liked that too. Peaches' music is just cheeky, good fun, but yeah, she is a scary looking creature.

Thanksgiving is over. Dinner was delicious, and everything was relaxed and kick-back. There's no point in having your holidays be full of stress. They're supposed to be a time to celebrate, not freak out and make people uncomfortable. I think I'm most thankful that I come from a family that doesn't do that.

The best part is that the weekend, the official Saturday and Sunday...

Ha ha! No one even dared to challenge me on my 'Owner of the cutest cat in the world' title. Although Jayne's cats certainly come in a close second. I'm hoping she'll let me have one of them when she moves to England.

Wow, okay, so apparently people just don't feel like posting to areas I generally read. I gotta sort out where the people are! wink

Wow, all of my J friends are now grey. Some sorta epidemic around these parts. shocked

So tomorrow is Turkey Day. I do love the fact that all of the purely American holidays seem to revolve around food of some sort. Or war. Or both.

July 4th: obligatory bbq and make loud noises day.
Veteran's, Memorial, and Armed Forces Day (wtf? Armed Forces Day? Yeah, it's...

Wow, more new features. And new questions. I'll have to wait until the brain kicks in to answer those.

The Death Cab show was great. They didn't play a lot of their old standbys, but they played a lot off Transatlanticism (shocking, since it's their new album and all), which I've been digging for the last few months. They did not play "Lack of Color",...

Death Cab for Cutie tonight!!! love love love


Oh, and Nada Surf will be there too. Guess they're supposed to be pretty good as well. whatever

mistergraves:
I remember Death Cab from my Anaheim days. This girl Zemeer used to listen to them non-stop. It effected me so much, I bought a pair of Converse.
isaiah:
I never really liked nada surf. But then again, It's not really what I'm into. Have fun though! biggrin

I was driving around last night, listening to the Clean at a medium volume, hearing the wind whistle through a miniscule crack in my window seal. I gradually became aware of a rhythmic beeping noise, and my first thought was, "wow, these guys really were ahead of their time, with this techno backbeat thing." Then I turned down the music and realized it was a...

I've been to Eureka and Yreka. I used to live around the south and east bay (berkely, fremont).

It's not always how many people who are at a venue that decides how good a band is. When the Sex Pistols played in Manchester in '76 there were about 30 people there. All of whom went on to form bands such as Joy Division, The Fall, and Tony Wilson, who went on to found Factory records. You can rent '24 Hour Party People' for that full story. It's amazing. Even the Stone Roses started off 1989 playing to 12 people in Cardiff, Wales. They ended that same year playing to 30,000 people on Spike Island.

Let me know if you'ld like to do the trade though. You can contact me through my email or AIM addresses.

Lovely relaxing weekend. After the absinthe and cider-laced fun on Friday, we spent Saturday recovering and watching movies. We made it to Broken Social Scene, and they were great, but the crowd, though polite, was thick with kids who must have spent their allowance on fake IDs. Slept in Sunday, and we were supposed to go see TV on the Radio, but sitting and watching...

If it requires being vertical and leaving the house, I'd say that's pretty Out and About, with a hangover. wink

Dude, people are so hung up on this.
There does not need to be a conflict between two friends who have casual sex with each other when they don't have a current partner. This is perfectly possible to do without either person being a slut.
And further more, a girl who has never even had sex can be a huge slut. Case in point:
Early dates, "things going great she loves hangingout wants to keep hanging out her friends all like me we should hang out more"
Last date,
We were at the bar with some of her friends. She ignored me all night. This was lame so I asked what was up. She said that she is really into her independent life right now and we should just be friends because her and her friends like hanging out with me. I was like what the hell, be friends, you could have told me that before I invested all this time.
So about 30 minutes after that I see her just all over flirty with some random douchbag at the bar.
Now she...the girl that seriously hurt my feelings...that it a slut.
The two friends having casual sex because they're alone and need to feel someone...because they didn't hurt themselves or others in their actions...they are not sluts.

Great party at anything's house last night. Got to meet a few more members, celebrate a birthday, drink yummy homemade apple cider, and witness an awesome free-standing copper firepit.

This was after a brief attendance at a party at Diesel Fuel Prints, where we managed to grab some food and free shirts. The owner was tending bar, which I thought was really fucking cool....

Thanks for the concern.. I'm feeling better already, despite teh gay. I enjoyed hanging out w/ you and EnergyChannel the other night.. Hope to see you guys again soon.

I corrected you name. It just needed another space between the words and the little icon thingy.

Thanks for understanding. Juno was definitely a member of the family while he was here.
