Big McLargeHuge!

I am 22 today. I already knew that after 21 I would have nothing left to look forward to. I asked my 26 year old sister for confirmation.

ALICIA: Oh yeah, now all you can look forward to is the grave.

Thanks, sister. You certainly know how to alleviate someone's fears. Hoping to have a nice, quiet, relaxing day with the boyfriend. Also, how did I go through the '90s without ever watching Mystery Science Theater 3000? Clockwork made me watch the Space Mutiny episode. So much hilarity in one sitting. Who knew that watching really bad movies could be so much fun?

Fuckin' Wiz

(while watching The Wizard of Oz)
CLOCKWORK: He's a wizard! Don't they think he has better things to do than meet with this ragtag team of misfits? You got a lion with a perm, a tin can with a drinking problem, and a petty thief! Shoe stealer...

* Birthday WishList *

Digs from Urban Outfitters.


I don't wear watches often, but this Betsey Johnson one is so cute.


The Fuji Instax Mini is an adorable little camera that takes adorable little credit card sized photos. It's like a more portable Polaroid camera. ME LIKEY (I want the brown one.)


A subscription to VenusZine,


the new Chuck Klosterman,


& A Very Awesome Book (i like feeling like I'm 12 sometimes.)

So yeah, I spent a majority of this day online window shopping....

:D

The Sounds ft. Foxy Shazam

So the show was AMAZING, as expected. We were convinced that the opening band, Foxy Shazam, was on speed. I've never seen a more energetic and all around nutsy band. And the lead singer looked/sounded like Freddie Mercury. It was so weird. And pretty much awesome.






Some crazy Foxy Shazam antics include: the guitarist spinning his guitar around so that I feared it would fly off stage and hit me in the face, the piano player standing on top of his keyboard and smashing down on the keys, the trumpeter lying on the ground convulsing as he played, and the lead singer crawling around the stage doing flips and headstands, jumping into the air on the shoulders of the guitar player, drop kicking the mic a million times, throwing water at everyone, stage diving twice in a row, and finally lighting 3 cigarettes, chewing them up, and spitting them at the crowd. At one point they just threw the guitar at the crowd and the audience played.

It was fucking EPIC.

I was afraid Foxy Shazam would be hard to follow, and while their antics weren't nearly as rambunctious, The Sounds still totally killed it.







We were so close to the stage (pit, second row) Maja Ivarsson fist bumped my sister. It was cause for way too much excitement. The only annoying part about the night were the people in the front row who didn't even seem to be fans of the band and got annoyed when people would rock out too hard. I kept thinking, "This is a rock concert! Not the bleedin...Splish Splash show." All in all, it was definitely worth the trip.

Road Slut

(en route to Cincinnati)
ALICIA: I need to get on 270 right now!
ME: Stop THROWING YOURSELF at 270!
ALICIA: Shhh, I'm just using 270 to get on 71.
ME: YOU WHORE!

.halloween.

My weekend was a blast! We got caught in the rain (which turned out pretty fun), lazed at Clockwork's uncle's house (potato soup + Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas = cozy trippy fun time), partied in Athens (I saw Day/Night/Green Man, AND Charlie in all his crotchy, stretchy, pantsy glory), and topped the weekend off with Zombieland ("That'll do, Pig. That'll do.")



(Velma Kelly & Sweeney Todd)

I thought Clockwork's costume turned out amazing. He looked exactly like him. Most of the time, though, people would yell "Johnny Depp!", "Edward Scissorhands!", or (my favorite) "That barber...the barber of Seville!"

And tomorrow my sister and I will be on a road trip to see The Sounds in Cincinnati. November is starting out pretty kick a :) :)

TXTS FRM LST NITE

EMILY: Oh lord, last night was a terrible idea. Do you know what washes off self loathing?
