Weening myself back

Last night I attempted to ween myself out of my study hole. I just finished my first semester of grad school and have spent the better part of the past 4 months studying and writing, not to mention working 40 hours a week. And now I have a full month off before the next semester. Anyway, Matt and I went to Liz and Jehan's taco night and I basically sat in the corner and stared at my shoes for 3 hours. Weening myself back to social interaction is a slow process. I hope to make another step tonight at Jay's DJ night at Saint Ex.

Next week I am taking vacation. I'm not going anywhere, just hanging around at home. I want to make some doctor appointments, paint my living room, read, catch up on movie watching and hang out with friends. Hopefully I don't waste the week watching too much tv. I need to take advantage of the next month because following that I will be in school for a full year, no summer break.

There are a lot of things to look forward to in the next few weeks: currently Hannukah, Xmas, 2nd Annual Birthday Bar Crawl, NYE, Matt's Birthday, My Birthday and our 2 year anniversary!

A dream come true

This weekend was a drunken mess for me. But it's been so long since I've had one of those, so it's ok.

I had school all day on Saturday. I finished the first class of my two year program. Yay for me!

Saturday night was spent at Hobart to celebrate Ivy's birthday. We had a glorious time. I did 3 carbombs as soon as I got there, so I was immediately drunk. The rest of the night was spent sipping on Champagne and Sparks. I will post photos from this glorious night soon.

On Sunday, Matt, Aric and I arrived late to Ivy's birthday brunch and I chain smoked and sipped on Chimay at the end of the table just being a plain old grump.

Then we walked up to Pharmacy and played Big Buck Hunter all afternoon. I finally got to enjoy Sunday Buck Hunter with Matt. He thinks I'm cute when I'm killing.

After Buck Hunter we were heading home to get ready for the Little Steven's Rock show at the Cat, but decided to go to Toledo for more drinks and some food.
Everyone was drunk and loud.

Then we all piled in Jay's car back to Mt P. He dropped me and Matt off at home and we both passed out at 9pm. Woke up at 1am, got ready for bed and passed back out.

Overall, the weekend was glorious. I only have 2 work days this week, then it's off to Kentucky for April and Adam's wedding. yay.

Now for a dream come true - Casablancas and Schwartzman:

Paxilback

This is the greatest video ever made by People Food starring The Gray Kid and Daniel Stessen. It's a parody of JT's Sexyback, except this is about everyone's favorite happy drug, Paxil.

Great lyrics like "the platinum bottle with the child proof cap."

Cold War

Okay, this is so unfair. So there were two great shows that I was missing on Oct 26. The Rapture at 9:30 Club and Futureheads and COLD WAR KIDS at Sonar. But, I leave for Kentucky, for April and Adam's wedding on Thursday, Oct 26 at 10:20 a.m. so NO shows for me.

NOW - the Futureheads have cancelled their show due to a band injury and the Cold War Kids have reschedule to DC9. DCfucking9. So unfair. I want to go to this, but I will already be gone. Ah!!
AH!!
Blah!!

Are you the imaginary socialite?

Oh, I love this website and myspace page.

I can't see the sunshine

I also want this necklace.

Razorblade, that's what I call love.

Oh, the razorblade, that's what I called love.
I bet you'd pick it up and mess around with it if I put it down.
It gets extremely complicated.
Anything to forget everything.



You've got to take me out at least once a week.
Whether I'm in your arms or I'm at your feet I know exactly what your thinking.
You won't say it now but in your heart it's loud,

"Oh no, my feelings are more important than yours.
Drop dead, I don't care, I won't worry."
There you go...

Oh, the razorblade, wish it would snap this rope.
The world is in your hand or it's at your throat.
At times it's not that complicated.
Anything to forget everthing.

He would never talk but he was not shy.
She was a street-smart girl but she could not lie.
They were perfect for each other.
Say it now, cause in your heart it's loud,

"Oh no, my feelings are more important than your.
Drop dead, I don't care, I won't worry."

Sweetheart!
Your feelings are more important, of course (of course)
Everyone they wanted everything that we would take from them
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
Tell me tell me tell me tell me
No.. don't.... care..

procrastinating big time x 3

I should be doing school work right now, but instead I'm trying to figure out which Nicole Richie Myspace page is for real. There are 128 pages of girls claiming to be Nicole.

Check out this blog by Cory Kennedy, L.A.'s youngest and most famous scenester. She is the intern/girlfriend/muse of the Cobra Snake. Her blog is one of my new favorite internet daily reads. It's cute and utterly ridiculous.



Check out more photos and info on her here. She the latest IT girl and all because of her e-fame.

I'm awed by the power of the mighty internet.
