i'll tell you what i want, what i really really want

the spice girls circa 1999.

I went to the victoria's secret semi annual sale like I always do in search of new bras, undies, nighties, etc. I love victoria's secret.

What i found, i certainly was not expecting. The spice girls Greatest Hits. I saw it from across the room, and I told myself if it was under 5 bucks i'd buy it. I walked over....4.99! sweet! So clearly i had to buy it. I never bought any of thier cd's after spice world so i figured this might have a bunch of other songs that i didnt have. I was wrong. Its mainly spice world with maybe 2 additional songs. its alright though, i dont regret my purchase

Fun weekend

the highlights of my weekend might lead one to believe i was 5 or had a child, but neither are true.

Friday I kicked off the weekend Celebrating birthdays with the Criss Crew at Pump it up, a moon bounce haven where even adults could bounce. The obstacle course was harder than i thought it would be considering the spaces to crawl between were made for someone half my size.

Sat I went to the national mall to see the exhibit on NASA. it was alright, but clearly directed at younger kids :(

Sat night I saw Wall*e. It was AWESOME. You should all go see it. There wasnt a single little kid in the theater when I went and I'm pretty sure everyone in there loved it. Good story, cute romance, great message, good animation, awesome space, etc etc etc. go watch it :)

Michel Gondry

The other day I was listening to Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer over the sound system in the goddard gift store. it was stuck in my head for two days straight, and then when it finally got out I read the following pictorial article which, got the song back in my head.

Michel Gondry is kinda awesome. Not only did he create some pretty kick ass movies and videos, but it turns out he's pretty funny too. I like his commentary on the above videos. Its quite a collection of videos too.

Alas, i'm not alone in thinking he's awesome :( http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008/02/17/68-michel-gondry/

why target is an awesome store

Last night I bought a nerf football, and boggle.

The nerf football is b/c i'm getting a little tired of playing frisbee and getting hurt when i catch it, or even worse i'm getting embarassed about how i can never throw it in the direction i intend. The nerf football changes all of that. It doesnt hurt, and i'm pretty good at throwing it straight.

Boggle was fun yet disappointing at the same time. The grid was 4x4 instead of 5x5. Are kids getting dumber? do they need this game to be made easier? Also the game itself is more cheap now. The indentations dont really hold the blocks making it harder for them to fall into place. Oh well, still fun :)

The Red Album

Since Eric thinks i'm basically the coolest person ever he gave me a copy of the new self titled Weezer album....the red one.

Basically its really awesome. I love the way they are just like yeah, we are good, whats up? Also they fully admit lyrically that they are old as anything.

Pork and Beans is on my summer 08 mix so far. Of course its pretty lonely on that play list with The new Coldplay song and an old foo fighters cover i just found (baker street). So if you have any suggestions what I should add to this mix i'm all ears. I was thinking of one metro station song b/c who doesnt like a little Billy Ray Cyrus offspring in their music selection.

In summary. Buy the new weezer cd. Also Eric is pretty rad, so thanks.

Show Time Dissapoints

Last year when weeds returned they premiered Californication right after it. I loved it. Partially b/c for the first time in my life i have a crush on david duchovny (i know, kinda a decade late for the trends).

So this year I decided to give the "secret diary of a call girl" a chance. It sounds like it has some potential. Instead it sucks and is boring.

Denver: Where beer flows like wine

well I'm back from three days in mile high city. Made it to two microbreweries, gave one presentation, and went to one baseball game. I'd say it was an action packed 3 days.

I got back just in time to go to Chris's brewing birthday on sat at shanendoah breweries where we got to brew our own honey heffenwizen. Lots of fun.

In a few weeks we can go pick up our beer. hopefully we didnt f'it up and it tastes yummy! The pre fermented stuff tastes terrible.
