nautical night out

ali and i sported our best nautical duds tonight, and unfortunately, that was about the highlight of the night. we all know my utter disdain for times square, aka the seventh ring of Dante's hell, but after deciding to meet up with erin and ryan down there for Superbad i conceded--and then the time they had tickets for was sold out.
so ali, scott, and our new roomie becky got tix for a later showing. at this point i still had confidence in the evening although my good nature had wained somewhat after fighting the idle crowd of tourists blocking times square (tourists think new yorkers are mean because well, new yorkers ARE mean when they have to go to times square. nobody goes to times square, and going there just makes you mad inside. again, Dante's hell). but alas, Superbad, the long-awaited "comedy of a generation" that i had been so hoping to see was an utter bomb. perhaps the crudest thing i've ever seen. just ick. so now, to recap: nautical attire, hot subway, crowded & gross times square, crappy & gross movie. i guess new york isn't always peaches & cream. (but love it all the same!)

Thursday Night: LES for a Show & Cake

"style is an important to your life as your look"

i forgot how awesome this video is.....this was one of my roomie erin's faves and we quoted it all the time...its awesomely hilarious in a serious 80's sort of way. love it. brenda dickson was on the young and the restless for "11 and a half" years...enjoy!

rocket science

2007's little fim that could. caught it last night down at the sunshine theater on houston with ali and her friend here that's visiting. the director was in the audience which was cool except i kept wondering if he could overhear the scott's comparison's to 2005's darling movie that could, thumbsucker-- no mind though we laughed all the way through.

jens lekman

one of the best shows we've been to, and this song reminds me of scott

so, we all know i've never been one for purses, so i now use a cloth bag that doubles as my purse and shopping bag. its nice. its big. its handy. i can carry my purchases, wallet, and purse crap all in one bag. hooray! and does anyone remember how in fourth grade Brett Jacobs and i hosted a "Use Cloth Bags" booth at merced's earth day fair?? my quote in the paper was "using cloth bags helps save the environment and makes carrying things easier." ah, yes.
