Wow.

Something.

Thawing out?
I'm in the middle of a mini vacation. I was off Thursday, worked Friday, and now am off 'til Tuesday. Thursday we went to Evanston and saw
There Will Be Blood, had a few cocktails and then saw
Juno. They are very different films, go fig. Friday was the infamous Jackhammer night. Vee Dee were excellent, and then Bob showed up and I kept drinking beyond what I should have probably. Not that i EVER do that!! What I remember of our conversation was pretty epic though. Yesterday was Stacy and Jim's wedding. Inbetween that and the reception we went to Chili's. Got to see Tony which is always a treat. After that I thought it was a god idea to meet Paul and Wafer Mike at Schubas, where Ciba and Porter were spinning. Ended up at Clark's with John, Adam, Meg and Paul where I kept drinking. Yikes. Off to Kuma's now, gonna try to not drink.
Adult Swim party tonite? Aqua Teen with Neko Case and Kelly Hogan and season finale of Tim and Eric!

Oh hey.
As usual I am lax on the updates. Today Sooz, Paul and I are going to see some movies in Evanston. It is cold. I've been using a Neti Pot and believe I can breathe better. The new Liam Finn album is soooooooooooo good. Liam Finn > Jakob Dylan. Dang that talented Finn family!!

One more thing: FU Jobs.
What other opportunity will you have to see two bands in my top 10 fave albums of 2007 at the same show? None, ever. Probably.
Schubas! Thursday!! Baby Teeth! Bobby Conn! Cooper x 2?!
Aw shit man.
Today, after Adam specifically mentioned
Five Leaves Left was his favorite Nick Drake, and remembering Tim had also said that, I decided I should pay it some more attention.
tonight, however, played out like a combination of a bad Wes Anderson film, some
banal bullshit, and Robert Altman's
Nashville....
At least in my head.
Fuck me. I am going to live every day like it is my last.
Tim and Adam, you are wrong. Absolutely wrong.
Bryter Layter is the best.
Gena, sorry about Carols. I feel I am still owed cupcakes, however. Tuesday: Hot Dougs, and Cupcakes on Barry (is that the street? Briar? Um, have you ever had the margaritas at Chilli Mac's there? Me, Sooz Gena, Maragaritas, Tuesday. I am SERIOUS).

blearghhhhh
I am totally sick. Fucking cold like thing. almost too nauseous to take my CVS Nightime cold. Feeling somewhat blue since finding out Natalie, a super awesome girl I met via the internet and had the pleasure of hanging out with once in real life suddenly died. It's not making me feel better, that's for damn sure. I'm physically sick and emotionally sick. Zelda is being a good nurse though. It's hard to sleep when you can't breathe.
