Flight of the Conchords

As I mentioned before, Flight of the Conchords is one of my new favorite shows. I found out at the last minute that they would be in town this week, and I HAD to go. Stephanie went with me, which was funny because when I invited her to go, she had only heard the name but knew nothing about them. She went on YouTube, saw the video below, and decided to go based on that. I'm so glad she did, so I didn't have to go alone.

There's not much to say about it except that it was great and that they are just as funny in person as on TV.

Here is a video someone took from last night. It's kind of lame because they just recorded what was on the screen, but at least you can hear a little of them talking and singing one of my favorite songs, Hurt Feelings.



One of my other favorite songs by them is called Business Time.



I'm so excited that I got to see them live.

And speaking of excited, I just need to say that it is extremely frustrating to have friends who are never excited about anything, or who think everything is annoying or stupid. If I told my friend Whitney (who hates country), "Whitney, guess what? I'm going to see Sugarland in concert!!!!" The appropriate reaction would be, "That's great!" Not, "Ugh, I hate country" or "They're so fricken annoying."

Thank you to Whitney, who pointed out that a negative reaction in this situation is abnormal. I've gotten so used to it, I didn't even realize.

Why I Love Bust Magazine (and you should, too)

Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust . In this issue, I read about: Fat women on reality shows A new version of roller derby called Derby Lite A global O that will be occurring on December 21-22 Recipes for finger foods to serve at holiday parties How to make your own yarn Asheville, NC (now I want to move there even more...) Amy Poehler's views on feminism Divorce ranches in Nevada from the 1930's through the 1960's (it used to be really hard to get a divorce, and Nevada had laws that made it super easy) Homemade Christmas gift ideas A guide to "handling some of life's major milestones- marriage, childbirth, and death- with a DIY frame of mind" The monthly "One-handed read" column And of course, there are the fashion and beauty sections. Also, book, movie, and music revie

I got a little out of control...

I started my end of the year celebration a day early with margaritas at Lalo's. Unfortunately, since I don't drink very often, they affected me pretty quickly. I knocked my fork onto the sidewalk. Nancy (with her 80's hair) pretended not to know me. Nina gave me this look. Good times, good times. 40 more minutes of school, and then I am FREE!!!!!

Fall!

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m excited for fall.  I LOVE fall.  Things I’m looking forward to: Sweaters and hoodies Cinnamon candles  Leaves crunching under your feet Carving pumpkins and toasting the seeds (that I will give as gifts because I don’t actually like them) Going to the apple orchard with my mom… apple donuts and apple ciders slushees… Scary movies Watching my Charlie Brown DVDs Starting school!  I swear, September always flies by in an adrenaline-filled haze… The smell of burning leaves Football!!! Making apple pie (that will most likely be given as a gift because I’ll be dieting) Fall crafts (I think this year I want to attempt a wreath) Hot apple cider My one and only complaint about fall is that it means winter is coming…
