iron this on when you get home

this past weekend was interesting. i had a dance party with my aunts, uncles, and cousins in our kitchen to justin timberlake's "sexyback". no, seriously, that really happened...and i also attempted to teach my uncle to pop-lock, unsuccessfully.

we all went to boston on saturday to shop and wander around. at faneuil hall, we watched this family of street performers from england ride unicycles and do handstands and balancing acts. and later, some other dude juggled knives while hanging upside down from a pole/bar thing. the funniest part was when some random-ass old dude with a ponytail who was walking by came running out, limboed under the pole and jumped up, saying "WOOOO!", and continued on his way. the juggler was just like "uh, stay off drugs, kids". good stuff.

WHY IS VINCENT STILL ON PROJECT RUNWAY, someone tell me please. the man discusses clothing in a sexual context, i.e. "it gets me off/it turns me on" and hurls such insults as "why don't you stick some harry winstons up your nose" (diamonds...nose..um...WHAT?) awful. not to mention, his designs are complete and total shit.

i just got my emerson e-mail address, and consequently switched my facebook over. yay for new beginnings.

also, i've been meaning to post this video, and by now probably everyone and their mother has seen it. but truly, i can't stop watching it! it's WAY better than the million ways dance. check it.

here it goes again

hello, folks.

i would like to first vent about a topic that has been plaguing me all summer on my commute to and from work. BIKERS. not motorcyclists...the little buggers who ride their bicycles in the friggin' center of the friggin' road while i am trying to drive. there is no shoulder on most of the roads around here, so get your god damn bike off of the roads that are intended for CARS and CARS only. at least bike in a low-traffic area. but don't wave like an asshole for me to drive around you when there is no way i can see if there is a car in the oncoming lane. bah.

ok, now that that is out of the way...i got some nice crazy fuschia/magenta highlights in my hair the other day. i might get some more soon. i enjoy them greatly.

also, most everyone who has talked to me recently knows how angry i am that local boy josh logan got kicked off rock star: supernova (he's from manchester). the man has so much soul it's ridiculous. but he's too good for their stupid asses anyways...i'm obsessed. luckily i can relive his glory, youtube style. his first performance still gives me goosebumps, man. and i love this black crowes song.



i finish work on friday, yeahhh man. no more cubicle!! though i will miss the 25 cent coffee even though it sort of tasted like mud. and the dude that looked like chuck norris (my coworkers and i aptly named him 'chuck norris') and the two-hour lunches and intern outings. but that's about it.

OH, and i finally found a new song i enjoy! i've been redeemed. it's by a grand ol' band from oregon called the village green (name taken from the kinks' album the village green preservation society). i strongly recommend this one...it's insanely catchy.



i literally almost bought a multicolored, floral print sleeveless jumpsuit at salvation army yesterday. sad thing is, i really am kind of wishing i had bought it still.

you think it's funny, well you're drowning in it too...

HEY Y'ALL. first of all, i would like to laugh at mel gibson for getting a DUI. according to an article i read, he drunkenly proclaimed himself as the "king of malibu", which is the funniest part of the whole thing. and really, do you think alcohol planted raging anti-semitic thoughts in his head? yeeees, that must be it. what a fool.

anyways, my dear friend jill came to visit this weekend, and we had a completely fantastic time. this included running in the pouring rain through downtown nashua, a trip into boston complete with a pervy/corny street magician, hip hop dancers, and being assigned by the commuter rail conductor to keep an eye on this creepy man who kept switching seats and begging people for money.

we also watched about 260 hours straight of project runway season 2 (ok, no, but we really watched the whole entire season) and it was brilliant. i am eager to see the scandal tomorrow night. it better be angela...what a ho. christine and her sister lauren now come over every single wednesday, and we alternate between "so you think you can dance?" and "rock star: supernova" results, then proceed to eat delicious food and throw things at the tv during project runway. it's a glorious, lazy, evening.

boston is drawing nearer, though it hasn't quite hit me yet. i also keep forgetting that i'm actually going to have to do SCHOOLWORK, which is so terribly inconvenient. god, i just want to eat canolis and frolic on boston common.

i love the new hellogoodbye album and hate the new thunderbirds are now! album. what is going on in the world?! i basically hate all current music lately which is weird. my playlist last month consisted of the song "no excuses" by alice in chains, and constant nirvana. i don't even know. speaking of which, i'll end with the video for "no excuses", which is nothing special but an amazing song.
