How did I not notice this before? One of my YouTube videos is posted on The Fuchsia Band's MySpace. That's kind of cool. I like finding my stuff in random places.

I was hunting through the piles of clothing on my bedroom floor for a particular sweater this morning. All I could hear in my head was that damn "If you feel chilly, here take my sweater" song from the Old Navy commercial. And now it's been on repeat in my brain all day. DO NOT WANT.

Guys, I TURNED OFF the TV for a while last night. I also did the same on Monday night. I'm really trying to reach my goal of reading 75 books this year, and have realized that I'll need to read at least 2 books a week for the rest of the year to do it. This will not happen if I watch Law & Order all night every night. I'm doing okay so far. I finished two books I had been reading at the same time on Monday and I'm already halfway through another book. I can normally get 150-200 pages read while I'm at Hallmark, but I've been busy working on stuff lately. It's cutting into my reading time! Stupid work.

I've been to 22 concerts so far this year. Not too bad, I guess. I only went to 21 concerts total in '06. This is what my calendar looks like for the rest of the year, so far:
10/05/07 - Matt Nathanson, Cary Brothers & Kate Voegele at the Fine Line
10/06/07 - Shooter Jennings & Jason Brown in Clear Lake Iowa
10/11/07 - Stephen Kellogg and The Sixers & Tyrone Wells at the Varsity Lounge
10/17/07 - Josh Ritter & Eric Bachmann at The Cedar
10/26/07 - Shooter Jennings & Eddie Spaghetti at The Cabooze
11/03/07 - L.A. Guns in the middle of nowhere in western Minnesota
11/11/07 - Dropkick Murphys at Myth (I suppose we should organize some sort of ticket buying, huh?)
11/16/07 - Boys Like Girls, All Time Low, The Audition & Valencia at Northrop Auditorium (IF THE TICKETS EVAR GO ON SALE!)
11/27/21 - Fall Out Boy, Plain White T's, Gym Class Heroes & Cute is What We Aim For in Cedar Rapids Iowa
11/24/07 - Motion City Soundtrack, Mae, Anberlin & Metro Station at Myth

*sigh* TWO trips to Iowa. What's wrong with me?

Seriously, I'm beginning to worry that the BLG show won't happen. Come on, guys, we've been to THREE shows for you to open! (Okay, two, because Butch - but did we really care about Cartel or Hellogoodbye?) Sigh.

I cared about Cartel until their show was really boring? Maybe.

The show is still on BLG's MySpace, so I have some hope. I'm going to go look for an email address for the Northrop I guess.

If you hear anything, let me know, of course.

Can I go home now? Because it's pretty outside and I'm officially over work. Like I wasn't over it at 8:15am, but whatever.

I wrote a very polite email that didn't have CAPSLOCK or foot stamping or anything. Who knows if I'll ever hear back though.

It's killing me because today is the day I have to stay late. *whines*

Holy crap! You're a reading machine! I'd love to see what's on your reading list!

I've only read a piddling 23 books this year so far. I'm beating my total of 22 from last year, but damn... I bow before your reading skill!

You can always see what I've been reading here at my Bibliophil list (http://bibliophil.org/library/UserLibrary.php?v_UserID=3593&sort=dateread&order=desc&ftype=&fval=&Search=). I'm on book #50 for the year, but they're mostly trashy stuff. It still counts, I suppose.

omg that sweater song is THE DEVIL. what can we do to make it stop?

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

I agree. And that commercial is on like 20 times an hour, no matter what I'm watching. *grrrrrrr* I say we kidnap the Old Navy marketing team and make them watch it on an endless loop for a couple days.

You know that Diva and the Guns (sounds like a name for an entirely different band...) will be in MN on Sat the 3rd, right? If not, I just told you. :D

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Errr, no? The last time I checked their tour dates they just had all those international dates posted. So, thanks!

Damn. They're playing that place up by Fargo again. At least it's on a Saturday. I should be able to make it!

[rockerlee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they're adding stuff all the time. Indonesia got cancelled, but they added all the dates down here. They're in Dallas Friday and Laredo Saturday. Like I previously mentioned, I don't have the gas to go to Laredo, but I'll be in Dallas since it's close.

Unorganized and giving short notice? Doesn't sound like rock boys to me. ;)

[rockerlee.livejournal.com]

No never. I've never had to reorganize an entire vacation because of a change in tour schedule. Nosirree...
