The Lemonheads....or Evan Dando et al

Clearly I went to another lemonheads show. This was maybe my millionth show of thiers (including dando solo shows. I was kinda suprised bill stevenson was actually touring with them which was better than the usual bring along whoever they can get.

Anyway The show wasnt the best I've ever seen them....or even close. The sound was TERRIBLE, it wasnt thier fault, I blame the Black Cat. Something was screwy, it started of semi ok, but by the end you could barely make out what he was singing....good thing i know every song :) Finally they ended the show and the encore was Evan by himself with just one simple guitar, so whatever was screwy before was now gone and he did a very crisp great version of outdoor type, a couple others including the crowd request of Frank Mills.

Evan then begins to play another song...stops...and says "go home people" and the show is over in true Dando style.

Dead Poets Society

If you know me you probably know that I am not what you might call "up on the movies"....sure I've seen most of the movies between 2000 to now, but any summer movies between 1991-2000 I'm missing, and any movie at all before then there is a good chance I havent seen.

I have begun trying to get caught up on them.

For starters I have been promised a list of movies I "have to see" and I guess i'll go through that and maybe watch some.

I also want to get better at actually watching the netflix movies I rent since my queue is 126 movies long, so last night I watched Dead Poets Society. It was really good. who knew? I was especially surprised at how young ethan hawke started acting, and he was really good. I think i would have liked the movie a lot more if i had seen it in 1989 when it came out since there have been a lot of movies that copied it since then so it wasnt as original for my viewing pleasure. oh well, still great.

DP Dough

Good news DP dough is open during exam week 24 hours a day! Thats an improvement from thier usual opening at 11:30 (and yes we call at 11:30 on the dot)

Monday morning

This weekend was pretty action packed with holiday parites, dancing, and more...but the part I'll blog about is a movie I saw on friday night.

We went to see Juno. I was initially drawn in by the trailors since it seemed kinda funny plus the cast seemed awesome. I have a little crush on Michael Cera, plus Jason Bateman is quite the hottie. Plus I'm currently making my way through the second season of arrested development which is awesome.

The rest of the cast was pretty good too with Allison Janey and Jennifer Garner and whoever that little girl that played Juno was.

The movie itself was hillarious yet serious at the same time. I dont want to ruin anything since i'm sure none of you have seen it yet, but it was awesome and you should definately go see it. like tonight. right now. go!

strikes

Yesterday I was playing hookey from work and walking around the foggy bottom area when I came across a strike. It was weird because it didnt appear to be placed infront of anything it related to. It was some sort of carpenters union I think...at least thats what the signs implied. They were chanting something but I have no idea what they were saying because it was so muffled.

If i were to strike against anything I think i'd do a better job. I'd have clearer signs, better chants, and i'd pick a less random location. so if anyone needs help striking i'm your girl....unless you are part of the writers union, then I say get back to work, i need my TV.

weird and pointless buisneses

I was in chesapeak bagel for lunch yesterday when I saw an ad for something totally pointless.

Its a service that takes your ipod that you already own, and takes your cds that you already own, and uploads the cds to the ipod for you and gives it back to you within 4 days. This seems dumb b/c then you wont have your itunes library on your computer. Someone at lunch pointed out that its a pain in the neck to upload 200 cds so maybe it would be a good use, but the company also charges 1.40 per cd so that would cost 280 dollars. what a waste.

i looked up the website when I got back and they havent built it yet (www.hodgepoddc.com) and then i looked up who owns the site and its some dude in virginia....so not only is he runing this company but he's trying to reach out as far as he can get. weird. I wonder if he has any customers

broken bed

I broke my bed.

oops.

Its kinda weird though b/c on all 4 corners there is a metal support with another metal dowel (4inches long) in it attached to a wheel. well somehow one of the dowels and wheel fell off without bending any metal on anything. I think its time for a bed frame, maybe that will add the support my bed needs
