I just discovered a song by the Canadian band Wintersleep that is my new favorite song. Please check them out and befriend them on myspace. They don’t have this song up on their page but they do have the song “Weighty Ghost” up which is almost as good. Because of the cost of touring they [...]

I’ve been home for two days now and I’ve finally built up the energy to blog about the last exciting day of my trip. All three of us ladies made our way up to Richmond Virginia to return my littlest sister to her home. It’s crazy to think that Jocey has her own place in [...]

Yesterday was long with lots of driving in my rented Mercury Milan so I’ll make this pretty short and sweet with photos and captions…

After finding a parking spot at McDonald’s we went and bought ice cream cones to avoid getting towed. [...]

Today I got a phone call very early in the morning from the rental car place saying that the Avis location at the airport took all of their cars on Wednesday night and they would not be returned to them until noon today. That’s not great news when your reservation is at nine am. So [...]

This is in the center of town:
One of the quaint little [...]

When ever I take an airplane across the country, when I get to my destination I always feel like I haven’t worked hard enough to be there.
All of the food I ate yesterday came from a wrapper. Not to under estimate airplane snack-packs though. It was terrific.
After landing, Leslie and I settled on eating at [...]

Happening #1:
Last night I went to the Rock and had, like, four drinks. After the second vodka tonic I got a little opinionated and after the third, I had to pee. While in the restroom I encountered one of my very least favorite things for the sixth or seventh time. It’s this thing where three [...]

After a quick run though all of the websites of all of the venues in Seattle and Tacoma that put on good, decent, or great shows I’ve confirmed my theory. My theory is really more like a question, hope or wish. Please dearest powerful beings or Jesus or what-have-you… will you please lower the cost [...]

After yesterday’s full day of recovery from way too much wine I actually got a ton accomplished today. The party was great.
I feel great. I’m ready to take it on, all of it.
I wish you weren’t a liar.
