I'...

I'm very tired. I should go to sleep, but I haven't even started on my homework. Hmm.I did absolutely nothing today, and it was fabulous. Except now I'm thinking, 'Where did today go?'Dave totally left a receipt with his credit card number and the expiration date at my apartment. I'm totally going to steal his identity and buy lots of awesome stuff. I discovered crabs in my fridge. That was mildly exciting. Yum. That was left over from Ian's dinner the other night. I feasted.Alyssa got those Live Strong bracelets today and she gave one to me. I'm wearing it now.Sorry this entry is pretty boring. I can't find my damned calculator, and I have a quiz in accounting tomorrow. Argh.I got a phone call from Robert today in Pensacola. He's still without power, and he had to wait in line for an hour today to get gas. Pretty crazy. Tho, the gas there is STILL cheaper than here. It's great to hear from him, tho.So, you know how I've been putting pictures in every entry lately?! Is that annoying? Should the pictures stay or go?

Today was so ...

Today was so awesome. So, this morning Ian and I sat around and watched Harry Potter, Power Rangers, the televangelist channel, Full House, Surreal Life... well, pretty much everything to laugh at (except Harry Potter!) 'cos we were bored and Dave was sleeping. Around 1 PM I woke up Dave by pouring water all over him. Awesome.So then we went to Chipotle for lunch, and then went searching around the neighborhood to find Ian his Magnum PI outfit. We found everything but the velcro shoes, which was disappointing. BUT the shorts ended up not fitting anyway, so he couldn't have worn the entire outfit in the first place. But, he wore the top part of the outfit to the concert, and it was hilarious.HOTT.So, anyway, so we all decided to dress up goofy. I wore a Star Trek t-shirt and houndstooth pants, and Dave wore that crazy t-shirt I made him and plaid pants. We're the awesomest people.So we go over to the Metro and meet up with Sarah. It was funny, as we were walking in, we could hear every single person we passed comment on Dave's shirt. It was a hit!So, first Caviar played, with Scott from Local H. It was alright... not terribly exciting. Second was Kill Hannah. I haven't seen them play live in two and a half years now, and so it was weird (considering before then I used to see them play, like, every week... I've seen them like 13 times now). I didn't even recognize any of the songs except Kennedy, considering I never bought their new album. Weird.Then came the Nick Tremulis band, which oddly enough I don't really remember. Then Billy came on. He only sang three songs! The first one was new... um.. the chorus was something like, "you waaaaaait, you haaaaaaate love, and all it represents". (um, I could have that wrong). The second song he SAID he played on 4/19 and messed up, but I don't remember him playing it and it wasn't "For Your Love". Hmm... I'll have to sort this out later. The third song he played was by the Bee Gees ("To Love Somebody").*EDIT* I forgot to mention that Yelena was there. Billy mentioned she was there and then Dave pointed her out in the left balcony. */EDIT*Right after that Dave and Sarah decided to go downstairs to smoke. And who do they run into but Billy himself! Dave got Billy to sign his t-shirt. Tooooo hilarious. He probably has a better account of it in his livejournal oldwarpilot, but I'm not sure 'cos I haven't read it yet.Anyway, here's the Billy autograph on the shirt I made him!!:It was the first time Dave had ever met Billy, and he was freaking out and it was cute. Especially since just about half an hour earlier we were talking about all of us (Ian, Sarah, and I) have met him and Dave hasn't.Sarah happened to have my ticket stub on her, so she got it autographed for me! How sweet! Now I have three Billy autographs.So the next band was Giant Step(?), tho I didn't really get to pay attention to them because I was listening to Dave tell the story of meeting Billy.Then Scott Lucas came out and played with them... they played Copacetic (did I spell that right?!). It was too awesome. Joe Shanahan himself also came out and sang a song with them. Apparently it's the first time he's ever sang onstage at the Metro in the gadzillion years that he has owned it. It was really neat.Then RICK NIELSEN came out and played with them (Giant Step as well as Scott). They played Surrender and I Want You To Want Me! I flipped out! RICK. NIELSEN.He also had his son onstage playing, as well.Then after a short break Rick and his son came out again to play an acoustic song, and Billy came and PLAYED DRUMS! It was just a simple drum beat, but it was too awesome.Then David James and his wife came out to thank everyone. It was really sweet. I didn't realize that I knew who David James was. I see him around the Metro all the time. He has the same kind of cancer my mom had. And then after that everyone that played over the course of the night came out and did a song together. I didn't recognize the song, but it could be some well-known song that I just don't know. *EDIT* I just read that the song is called "Heaven Tonight" */EDIT* Billy sang. The guys from Kill Hannah had maracas, and I found that amusing.After that we walked over to Clarke's for dinner. Fun times. I had chicken strips. Dave and Ian played the "let's dip random food items in the honey mustard sauce" game, which included waffles and pickle. It was pretty funny.Then we came back to my apartment and hung out here for ten minutes, then I walked Ian and Sarah back to Ian's car. He had parked it in a garage, and he totally should've been charged $40, according to the garage's parking standards. But the parking garage guy accidentally only counted from the time instead of the date, so he only had to pay $16! There were these drunk girls that were stuck in the garage because the guy had lost their car keys, and they were totally hitting on Ian and it was too hilarious for life. They made him play guitar and stuff... so he was sitting there playing in the middle of the garage.Then I came back and then walked Dave to the car, and now I'm back and updating LJ and getting caught up on everything.Here's some more random pictures: Ian, being goofyCute picture of SarahIan's attempt to look sexyDave hanging out on my couchI took pictures with a disposable camera too... but I'm planning on using the camera for the Rilo Kiley concerts as well as the road trip, so I won't have them developed for another two weeks (I also have pics from the Auf Der Maur concert on Friday night on that roll as well).*EDIT*!!!!Billy talked about the concert on the Wrigleyville Report this morning. You can listen to it here

So today...

So today Dave oldwarpilot and I went to Borders and grocery shopping. Exciting times, I know. Dave actually made me take a picture of him in front of the cheese aisle. Man, we're such dorks. I laughed so hard I almost peed.So then we went up on the roof. Dave took a million pictures. Dave takes a million pictures of everything. Tho he's afraid of heights, so it was pretty hilarious.Then we met up with Michelle michellina for lunch at Clarke's. So I totally ordered a hamburger, and the lady brings me a turkey burger. And I don't like turkey burgers, so I politely told her the mistake, and she starts getting all sassy with me. WTF? I bet she spit in my food. Oh well.Then we went to Renegade Craft Fair!!! I love that place. Too bad I'm too poor to afford anything there... BUT most of the stuff I could totally make myself anyways. After lots of searching we finally found the Ms. Jenn emanonx. It's really funny 'cos she just makes friends with everybody.So now I'm back home. People should be coming over a few minutes from now. Awesome.Oh oh! The greatest thing!! Dave snatched me some Auf Der Maur promo posters from Reckless Records.I have two, so Erin medelliaskies, if you want one, it's yours.

oh love is fun. care to dance?

I just have to show you my big accomplishment of the day...I CLEANED MY ROOM!!!BEFORE:My favorite part is the overturned computer in the middle of the floor.And then after 29739472397493274 hours of work, AFTER:Yes, I did that ALL today.You officially cannot call me lazy anymore.Anyway, time for a quick shower and then I'm heading off to the AUF DER MAUR/VON BONDIES CONCERT!!!And then meeting up with Dave. How awesome. You're so jealous for life.

So, I FINALLY ...

So, I FINALLY dyed my hair today. After like, two (or more) months of talking about it. So I can stop annoying you all about it now! Woot.I used to do it all the time in high school, and I haven't in a few years. I like it!I also went to the thrift store today and got two shirts and a VHS copy of Girl, Interrupted for a total of $4.Now time to clean up the bathroom, do some laundry, and homework. Exciting, I know.
