People and Things

Ok, I'm ready for a real post today.  It is Friday, and god damn it is a good day.  Check out what I got in the mail-

That's right, friends, that is the new Jack's Mannequin CD.  I am beyond excited.  Because I pre-ordered, I got this too-

See that down at the bottom?  Andrew McMahon has touched this.  Amazing.  It also came with these artsy postcards, which I don't totally get, but there are two that I particularly liked:

I thought the Oklahoma one was hilarious, and of course I like the Wisconsin one.  So yes.  Very exciting.

As for the CD itself, I'm just on my first listen-through, and already I'm in love with it.  Andrew McMahon's voice kind of has that effect on me :)

I'm excited to actually have things to do this weekend since I'm off.  Tonight I'm having dinner/drinks with my friend Mel (FINALLY) and her sister Britt, and they are awesome.  Tomorrow I get to go see my Victoria in Appleton and we're gonna go watch 50/50, which I am excited about because Joseph Gordon-Levitt is gorgeous.   Sunday Dad is gonna come for a visit, and I haven't seen him in a couple of weeks so I'm really looking forward to that.

So since beginning this post, I've wandered off to Facebook and Google+ like 3 times.  I don't know when my attention span got so short.  Ridiculous.

I suppose that's everything of note for the moment.  Have a beautiful weekend my loves!

And Don't Keep Me Like You Have Me...

Ok, this isn't a real update because I have to get ready to go to work, but I am in love with this song and I need to spread it around.  Enjoy!

*Sigh*

I woke up this morning, rolled over, and was face to face with this:

If he wasn't so adorable, the way he was watching me sleep would be creepy.  But he is cute.  That is his saving grace.

I think I underestimated how busy I was going to be this semester.  I was all like "Full-time school and part-time job?  Psshhhh I did that for like 3 years of high school.  I've got this."  Now I'm scrambling to get shit done all the time, I'm not sleeping enough (interestingly enough I'm getting more sleep now than I ever used to get in high school.  Am I old?), and I book my free time so full of other stuff that I don't really get the chance to be at home and relax.  But this is what I did in high school!  Maybe I just don't have the energy I had then or something.  I am turning into kind of a grandma.  But that's ok, I guess.

It's Saturday, and for the first time since school started I am content to just sit on the couch and watch Parks and Recreation all day.  I might even play some video games.  I have to work tonight, but that's ok, it'll be busy and probably fun.  After that I'm going over to a friend's house where we are going to watch the movie "The Room" and play a drinking game.  If you've never seen that movie, go check it out.  It is literally the worst piece of garbage I have ever seen.  But it is hilarious (despite its best efforts).  This movie was written by, directed by, starred, and was entirely funded by one guy.  If that doesn't tell you something about it, then you don't know how the movie industry works.  So yeah, pretty excited.

Speaking of exciting things, on Tuesday George Watsky came and performed on campus.  For those of you who don't know who that is, watch this.  He's hilarious.  He was hanging out before his show where people were coming in and me and my friend Natalie  got our picture taken with him.

It was awesome.

I guess I haven't got a lot else to say today.  I'm trying to find the motivation to clean my apt.  It's not that it's so messy, but I just kind of leave shit laying around everywhere.  Before school started I always had time t clean, but now when I get home from school or work I'm just so tired of doing stuff that I just wanna sit.  What a nightmare.

So for now, I will just enjoy this calm morning.  I'll take a shower and get dressed and run my errands later.  At this moment, I'm happy just sitting here.

Have an awesome weekend, my dears.
