Time to relax

After getting home from a long, though quite enjoyable, trip to upstate New York... I'm just sitting around relaxing and listening to some music. I meant to share this song last week but then somehow got sidetracked in between getting school work finished and preparing for my trip. This duo is an interesting one. I guess it's less of a duo and more of just one girl though I believe someone else occasionally helps her out with her beats. I saw her perform at The Black Cat last year with Mandy. We had no idea what to expect... and it ended up being just this one very entertaining chick and a mic on stage. She danced and sang and put on a great show. There are lots of good songs but this is one of my favorites. A little romantic, a little nerdy, a lot of awesome. The song is called Parentheses by The Blow. Some others to listen to include True Affection, and Hey Boy.

An update on NY and all my goodies soon.

Live music is the sex

I went to a show last night. It was a great show. The music was fantastic... stuff you can really dance to. I guess the only bad part is dancing surrounded by a shit ton of other people. We were packed in like cattle. I was literally thinking 'now I understand what they meant in my sustainable agriculture class when they talk about not really needing heat for cows in the winter...  they stick together and keep each other warm'. Balls warm. The guy in front of me was wearing a dress shirt completely saturated with his sweat. GROSS. He was what I would call a 'jumper', too. His feet were off the ground more than they were on. So that was kinda gross. After sweaty guy moved this couple stood in front of me. Making out. The strobe light beautifully illuminated the spit strings between their lips. The girl groped me at least 5 times while hugging her boyfriend. Good times.

Either way the music was amazing. If I ever do drugs... it will be to Hot Chip playing in the background. This is one of my favorite songs, and they played it last night. I can't remember if they opened with it or not... All of their albums are fantastic. Go get them RIGHT NOW!

War... UNH!... what issss it good for!?

It's on, son. He did good the last couple of days. I even now have a face to hate instead of just a car/parking job. Anyway... he was back to his crappy ways. I could've split the difference and left him some room... but really. Why? Why do that when I can punish him and make him crawl in the passenger side to get to his seat. I like that idea much better. And it isn't like he can screw up that side of the car anymore than it already is. And if he does? He'll pay for it.

DOWN WITH BAD PARKERS AND SELFISH PEOPLE!

Apple is good for something

Apple's great for introducing millions of drones to GOOD music... and I guess iPod's. I have yet to try a Mac out for an extended period of time so I have no comment on their computers, but they always have really great, new, artists featured in most of their commercials. Their newest iPhone commercial (the one with all the games being played) features the band The Asteroids Galaxy Tour. Chick singer and they're from Denmark. The song is suuuuper catchy. It's already my new MySpace song. Enjoy, yo.

Dirty, hippy sex

What's that you say? You want to bone AND save the planet? BOY, do I have some tips for you! You should just go check out this website. My favorite part of all is that this list of things you can do while having sex AND saving the planet even considers those of us who use power tools: 'If your sex toy of choice is a power tool, buy a rechargeable one or use your own rechargeable batteries.' But of course! Rechargeable batteries!!!

Joanna mustashio

In case you've always wondered what I look like with one, here you go.

I had my first of four spinning classes tonight. Not the kind where you work out. Duh. Look who you're talking to! The kind where you turn wool into yarn... hence the gray mustache.

Where did my life go?

Maybe the whole 19 credits thing this semester wasn't the best idea. Don't get me wrong. I'm managing the SHIT out of my work. Nothing has been late and I haven't procrastinated even a little. But I'm struggling here. I'm missing social events with what few friends I have left in DC. Sunday was Crafty Bastards in Silver Spring, which is only 5 exits away on the beltway.. I really, really, REALLY wanted to go. I've missed the last THREE for one reason or another. And I forgot about it. Completely. I don't even know what I DID on Sunday. Really. I have NO clue what I did. I probably woke up and ate and did homework... but what else? I have no idea. I just realized last week that I've missed the last TWO episodes of Project Runway. I had no idea I even missed one and then did some investigating online only to find out that I'd missed two. AGAIN... no recollection of what I was doing or why I missed them.

All I do is read and do homework. It's quite lame. Granted all that stress that comes right before exams because you haven't done the reading or skipped a couple classes... doesn't exist for me this semester. I guess it's a trade off I'm willing to make but good GOD I wish I could remember where all of my time has gone.

And now to go chip away at my ever growing to-do list some more...

Biden vs. Beavis

I was laying in bed watching my future baby daddy (Keith Olbermann) yesterday. It was the episode of his commentary after the debates. He had Biden on there talking about where he thought McCain failed in the bout. Maybe it was because I was laying down... but I swear to God he kinda looks like Beavis. Maybe? Just a little? I think it's the long face. Love him and he's got my vote (because he's freakin' BA) but now whenever I see him I'm going to think 'cornholio'.

Chocolate man is WAY creepier than the Burger King

AXE has a new scent and commercial out. The first weird thing would
be the scent. Dark chocolate. Why would a man want to smell like dark
chocolate? I know they make vanilla, cinnamon, and chocolate scents for
women... but for men? It's just fucking odd. I have yet to smell this
myself but I just don't know how you make the smell of chocolate manly.

The second weird thing... more creepy... is the commercial for it.
The Burger King is funny. Kind of creepy. Creepy in a funny way if you
will. THIS chocolate guy is just plain creepy. He isn't funny and he
certainly doesn't make me want to buy AXE. If anything he makes me
never want to date a man who would wear this shit ever.

Mooooo

I had no idea so many products were made from the byproducts of cows and cows themselves. Even cosmetics. Google hasn't turned up TOO much information on how exactly the cows are turned into make-up so I'm incredibly curious. But it did turn up this article that talked about what else cows and their products go into.

Who knew? I didn't. I've already learned SO much from this sustainable agriculture course. SO freakin' cool.
