time keeps on slippin', slippin'

hello peoples!
It's October. I know, I know, everyone always says, were does the time go? It's easy. Work, school, life. bye bye time! We are approaching some of my favorite holidays.

Halloween, Wedding Anniversary, Thanksgiving, Christmas. I hope to get to see you (yes you my friends) between now and the end of this year.

(scale update! I'm down 35 lbs now!!!!!!! GO ME! I'm serious, everytime I put on a pair of pants, I get happy! I look like a baggy bum [except the ones that my mom has taken in for me] and I LOVE IT!)

For my friend Doug

Listen to the 1560 Thunder Road show!!! Sundays 1-2 PM!

back to normal

We got power on Saturday night when we were in Austin watching Pinback (great great show by the way). Corey's cousin called and told us.

So we spent Sunday night in the house again since a whole week of being at the parents. I love my parents and since Thursday we had the house to ourselves (besides us dog-sitting) but there is NOTHING like your own house.

YEAH power! sweet sweet electricity. how I missed thee.

check out the pics of the damages at my flickr:

here is what I learned:

1. state troopers in the middle of nowhere are lazy. they make you come to them to give YOU a ticket. They don't even get out of the car.

2. El Paso is soooooooooo fahhhhh.

3. White Sands was soooo cool

4. When you are on vacation, you can eat anything you want. Don't ask me why. it's science.

early

For a change, Corey is working early and I am not on a Saturday.

I should be sleeping late but I'm up to run but it's raining.

these past 2 weeks I've done lots of new things. I'm not old but Im old enough that you would think I would have done some of these:

1. played (and won) in Scavenger Hunt
   
2. Went to a strip club
3. Rode the metrorail

lost but not forgotten

2 blogs in one day? What is this myspace? (yea I should update that blog along with my livejournal one too) MEH.

I'm up to a total of 25 lbs lost.

go VAL! Those that know, know why I'm on this kick. Corey asked me, are you going to be mad when you gain weight back when you have a baby?

heck no! baby weight is what I'm aiming for.

only in dreams

Lately I have been not only pulling in some really great new music, but dusting off some old CDs I haven't spun in a long long time. I went through a phase where I ripped what I thought was every CD I owned to my iPod. While searching youtube I stumbled back onto some old footage of FigDish.

FigDish was this great great band from Chicago that never got the exposure they sorely deserved. This was circa 1995.



I found them because they opened up for The Muffs back in 1994. Well I realized I missed ripping that CD. Terrible mistake on my part.

Well another CD that I did have on my iPod but hadn't listened to in a while was Weezer's - Blue Album.

Ever hear a song that takes you back to your youth? Like teenage youth, prior to bills, prior to mortgage payments and 80 hour weeks?

When the only things on your battle plan was to enjoy summer vacation, hang with your girlfriends and crush on the local boys?

Only in Dreams by Weezer is that song.
