I am so bad. I bought the camera. I'm a fucking photographer, right? I need a camera!!!!

Becky and I went shopping for cameras Monday night, and I thought I found the digital camera that I wanted. That is until I went to Central Camera on Wabash and found an even better digital camera. It cost a bit, but it was worth it!!! The battery is charging right now, so I have to wait until I can play with it.

There's something about buying a new camera and then bringing it to work with you. Ok, maybe that only happens when you work in photo related job. Everyone wants to play with it and take pictures. Woo hoo! I am so excited!!!

Only an hour and ten minutes left of work. I have to get back to the mailing list, even though I really don't want to deal with it. I know that a bunch of people have off today (namely the two other bloggers here. Or should I say, Becky, who blogs all the time and Greg, who never EVER blogs because he is too busy surfing the internet and NOT writing) and I'm at work, so I have this feeling of ultra laziness. You just can't shut down a musem for Good Friday/Passover. Or other holidays that other normal businesses get to shut down for. It doesn't happen.

Ok, time to get more work done. Next week: spring break!!!!

Jen

We are classically trained to rock your fucking socks off.

I forgot to write that I saw American Heritage at the Blue Note* Wednesday night. The reason why I am mentioning this now is because a)they are really fantastic. They are leaving for a small European tour soon, but I do recommend checking them out when they get back (DO NOT forget your ear plugs. You definitly need them.) and b) they are funny people. I get there for the one of the opening bands. They were pretty terrible. Imagine a really bad Built to Spill With added poppiness. Anyway, American Heritage gets up there and says, "well, that band really sucked." Now, I'm guessing if I liked the previous band** I would have been upset by the statement. I mean, it is an asshole thing to do. Really, the funny parts came during the dialogue between the two bands all night. The guitarist from the first band responds with "Fuck You." and all AH (american Heritage) says is: "You hair sucks." All night long there is talk about bad hair and sad responses back of "fuck you." Ok, you had to be there.

Today, Becky and Greg are heading on up to Madison, WI for a Passover celebration. I'll be here in Chicago this weekend because I don't have anything to celebrate, or so I thought. I really wanted to hang at home for Easter, but my sister gave me a guilt trip: "You're going to be alone. . . ON EASTER?!?!?" to which I responded that it wasn't like Christmas or Thanksgiving, it's Easter, for the love of god.*** Those are more family holidays. Easter is just, well, Easter. To make her happy, I'm going to go by Pat's parents house on Sunday. Whateves.

Today, I may go and purchase a lovely little camera friend. I'm going to go on my lunch break, which is right now. Hungry. . .

*Here is something for debate. (or maybe not) So, the sign just says "The Note" (the club on Milwaukee) but everyone I know, including myself, calls it "the Blue Note." Discuss.
**An Automotive. Avoid them.
***No pun intended.

You give me the most georgous sleep that I've ever had.*

Finally, sweet dreams at last.

For the first couple of nights this week, I've had these terrible dreams of the CBs** that I've come in contact with last week. This week I've avoided someone who will be known PB*** all week long. It kinda makes things a little awkward, but I'm just not ready to face this person. I really trusted him as a person and a friend. I'll never get it.

It's also nice to have someone around to comfort you. I will say that Pat has been pretty awesome, especially when I woke up with nightmares. Ok, that's all the compliments I'm giving out today.

Thank god today was my last class for a little over a week! Next week is the wonderful thing known as spring break. I won't be able to go anywhere (due to lack of cash) or really take too much time of work (for the same reason), but I'm looking forward to some time to think about stuff and just relax. Good times, good times.

One last thing and I'm outta here. I also want to make my comment on Fox TV shows. Please agree with me when I say that Grounded for Life is hilarious. Did any anyone see last night's show? About "gay day" at Action Park? and that wasn't even the funniest one I've seen. I'd like to take a moment out to thank Fox****for it's excellent choices in programming, even if they do put Boston Public on the air.*****

Ok, I'm going to go. The evil professor let us out early, and I'm going to take advantage of it. See you at wings.

*New no doubt, bitch.
**creepy boys
***I'd tell you what they mean, but you never knows who reads this.
****This is definitly my last compliment today, I mean it.
*****Here' s my thing about Boston Public. I do watch it, only because there is no fucking way that a high school can have all that drama go on in one year, let alone one show. I'm sorry, I don't believe it for one second. If someone wants to prove me wrong, please do.

Apparently Fox is starting to churn out the hits....we watched Greg the Bunny last night and it was quite funny and different. I also hear that the new Andy Richter show is hilarious (this from the blogger who never blogs).

Well its the fun time of year again. thats right, its Passover. this means I will pretty much be hungry for the next week cause nothing I eat during passover is ever really satisfying cause I know that there is so much more out there. chili and matzah for lunch-yum!

Becky

Things I noted while driving to work this morning:

1. There is no reason for the Goo-Goo Dolls to exist
2. The Osbournes is a very funny show, even if it is on MTV
3. The "alternative" radio stations in chicago have started to realize that people don't want to hear the crappy music that has come out in the last few years and now play tons of Nirvana and Pearl Jam to re-establish themselves.
4. After today I only have 3 more weeks of work in this location.

I just realized that my post on monday about the death and dismemberment tour got erased, so I thought I'd mention it real quick. It was a really good show and I have alot more liking for dcfc now. The Plan rocked as usual, plus the metro did not allow dancers on stage, so the only one that came out a danced was the guitar player from dcfc who did a robot dance during the entire Ice of Boston. Travis could barely control himself-it was quite a scene......

Pistacios are yummy.

Rosa got out last night!! (note: I was not home at the time) she was found in the hallway near the 3rd floor. silly kitty....

Tuesday, March 26, 2002

I won't get into a rant about the oscars and how silly they are (or how horrible gwyneth paltrow looked in that dress), but this was amusing from Salon as a comment about how movie stars like to pretend how they are "just regular people"

"Yeah, they're regular all right, those famous multimillionaires who never go to the post office or the DMV or sort receipts for taxes or fly coach or pay to see movies or get older or worry about the rent or medical insurance or college tuitions. They're just like you and me, only with fucking everything, and they don't want us around while they're having it, but we're allowed to watch them have it, once a year, on TV. So we'd better enjoy it. Or they'll sic Tom Cruise on us again, and, God, we don't want that."




Becky

The girls of the blog went shopping last night. camera shopping.

I think that I found the digital camera that I want. This will be helpful on my upcoming 8 month trip to San Francisco. In one month from today I will be moving to the west coast. wierd. but I have a new "temporary" job assignment so that is cool....but wierd.

Keep on the lookout for pictures coming soon. all I have to do now is buy the camera, figure out how to use it and figure out how to post it. no problemo.

ps-does anyone know anything about san francisco? I want to go see the promise ring/weakerthans show at a place called Slim's.......

I'll show you my dark secret*

Let me just say that it definitly was the week of creepy boys. . . I don't want to get into it. It did make me have unpleasant nightmares though. boo.

Today has been a busy day or writing rejection letters for me. I have the lovely job or telling people that we don't want their work to be apart of our collection. Someone's gotta do it, and obviously, it's me.

Here is a little story about me, my car and my head up my ass. So, I go to Frank's Nursery to pick up some soil for my palm tree that desperately needs to be repotted. Anyway, I buy dirt, and this cute little tree like plant and take it out to my car. It was really windy on Sunday, so I had a difficult time managing everything. After finally getting to my car, getting all my purchases in the car, and situating my new little tree inside, I shut the door. What I didn't seem to remember was that I threw my car/house keys on the passenger side seat. And locked the door.

I find this pretty funny for a short while until I realize two things: I may or may not have a spare at my apartment, which is at least a half hour from my current location and if I were to get this "key" how the hell would I get there?

To make a long story short, I go back into Frank's, where the nicest woman ever - who worked there - helped me find a piece of wire to actually break into my own car. That's right, I popped open the lock with a piece of freakin' wire. Even more impressive is that it worked! It felt pretty good, I must admit.

Well, it's back to my letters. Oh look! Only 50 more miutes! Excellent!

*Remember that Toadies song, Possom Kingdom? Well, this line is from it. Anyway, when that song came out, I loved it so much. Just wanted to reminisce some. . . and talk about all the creepy boys I've dealt with recently. boo again.

Hi and welcome to Friday-yay!

Did you see the Hoosiers kick Duke's ass all the way back to North Carolina? woohoo! watch out for the illini tonight, watch out. not to mention the saluki's or whatever they are from southern-that's pretty cool too.

So we were totally high-class at the art show last night. I was mainly there for the wall, what about you?

Did you know that there are 2051 miles between Chicago and San Francisco?

Thursday, March 21, 2002

Excuse me while I get up on my soapbox:

If you live in Chicago and/or you like to read (or even if you don't for that matter) then I greatly encourage participating in the "One Book, One Chicago" program, which is where the Chicago Public Library picks one book and sponsers events around it during national reading week in April.

The program started last year when they encouraged chicagoans to read To Kill and Mockingbird and had a huge response (I missed this one)

This year the book is a little on the heavier side (content, not length)- Night by Elie Wiesel, which recounts his experience in the Holocaust. I've read this book before and its really amazing, especially for how short it is.

Check out The Website if you get a chance.

Thanks and I will now get off. (my soapbox, you sikko)

Becky

Happy 1 Year Anniversary for our blog!!

Happy first full day of spring! oh wait, its snowing outside and I had to spend 5 minutes scraping my car off this morning. boo!

We are definitely looking forward to the museum opening tonight! Art, Beer and Hot Dogs. does life get any better than that?? Now I just have to make it thru the day....

I could sing you to sleep.

Don't you hate it when you are wearing a t-shirt under a wool sweater, and then when you take the sweater off, it leaves behind little fuzzies? My shirt looks like a wool-lint factory.

Notice how smart I am? I finally figured out how to do bold and italics on this stupid computer. I should have figured it out ages ago, because it is SO EASY. I ate paint chips as a child.

One thing though. . . I am really tired of the fact that I can't post web sites on the blog due to me using a mac. I swear, I think there are only four PC's in this entire building, and they both happen to be in the museum. So here's the deal. I'll physically type out the website for the museum, and you can actually look at the piece that I have been bitching about from the get go. The "Mourning Wall." The piece has kind of turned into a big joke for us at the museum. We came up with the idea of having a stand next to the mourning wall that sells funnel cakes (so that you can get happy after seeing the saddest wall ever), posters of the wall, a "home mourning wall" (which is a small, stand up version) and my slogan on a t-shirt: "This wall is for anyone that's ever died ever."

Actually, I worked with the artist of the wall yesterday, and although she is a bit freaky about her work, she is a nice lady. I think the best line was, "Jen, please humor me, and just lightly hold this $30,000 piece of art so that it won't fall." Brian and I had to hang another one of her pieces (that sounds kinda nasty, doesn't it?) yesterday. Brian had the top of the piece and I had the job of maybe catching it if Brian dropped it. It was a completely ridiculous job, but hey, that's what I get paid to do.

Yeah, check out www.mocp.org.

Tomorrow is the opening and we are serving hot dogs and beer. Go Chicago theme!! and, tomorrow may be the day that I have "the cow"* for the first time since I was 15. Everytime I go to the ball park, those damn hotdog stands tease me. I end up backing away because I think, "hell, it's already been x-amount of years, I shouldn't ruin that because they smell awesome." Anyway, my co-workers are trying to give me the ballpark experience so that I give in and eat the dog. We'll see. . .


*I refer to any meat products made from a cow as "the cow." That's also the same of "the pig." I haven't touched either since I was 15, making me a cow-and-pig-less person for 8 years now.






Becky

I am currently enjoying new mint skittles-they are like little crunchy mentos with a really cool plastic container (and everyone knows how much I like plastic!)

I watched my new DVD last night: Moonstruck. It was excellent! bella luna!!!

This is the week of boring meetings, which is good because it keeps my mind off other stuff. like spending $300 on my car for new belts and filters and other crap. The only thing that I can notice is that now I can, in fact, see out of my windwshield when it is raining. yeehaw!

Jen

Time keeps on slipping into the future.*

Damn, I am busy!

I wanted to blog last Friday and Monday, but the museum is keeping me on my toes. I finally finished conditioning that damn "mourning wall" on Friday, and I had to stay after to repaint the send floor gallery. Yesterday, I spent my morning unpacking prints, and my afternoon scraping letters from our front windows. Although this probably sounds like a drag, it was pretty fun. Jono (a working friend) and I played a little game: who could get the most smiles and head nods from the opposite sex. That evolved into who we could get the biggest rise out of in general. I had this old guy that I winked at come past the window, not once but twice. Good times, good times.

I'm hoping to get out of work a little early so that I can print out my self-portarit for digital class. I really want to make it to yoga tonight, so getting this done asap is good.

This weekend I also had the pleasure of attending the St. Patty's day party at the O'Neill's. I kept getting picked up - physically. I also had a very irish Budweiser and glass of wine during the course of the evening. I have to admit, I'm sad that I missed the arm wrestling. I would have challenged Greg to a match.

Besides that, I had to drop a hundred bucks on two new front tires. Since I got back from LA, my car has been driving like shit. That's because the treads were basically about to fall off my tire. At first I was pretty pissed that I had to spend the money on it, but hell, I'm either safe and drive happily along, or I crash and get into another car acciddent. We at ok plus three have way to many car problems.

Ok, I have to finish my pasta and get down to work. Thank god installation is almost over.

*Please remind me to never ever have a quote this lame again. I just had it in my mind.
**oh yeah, the format may be fucked due to this god-forsaken macintosh that I am working on.

Well, the world don't move to the beat of just one heart.......

Alright monday! I'm not too sure what to talk about these days. Did I tell you that I might have a major life change happening soon? More on that when it becomes official, but lets just say that I might be eating alot of rice-a-roni pretty soon. I can't think too much about anything else right now. except Mexican food. I really really enjoy chile rellenos and thats all I seem to want lately. yum.

The jetta is getting fixed today, poor girl. nothing is really wrong, but its for what we call in manufacturing PM (or preventative maintenance) otherwise known as a way to use your knowlege of automobiles to sucker people like me out of money. I'm just looking forward to new wiper blades and the ability to see when it is raining.

word.

selection breaths on it's own

the errant blogger here. it's been a long time since i've been here, but not as long as kempa. he finally updated.

this weekend was a crazy festival of craziness. and it was a bit crazy too. on friday we drank margarita's and celebrated our friend's birthday. after that i drank too much wine and argued school vouchers until 4 in the morning. i'm a drunken intellectual. or maybe just drunken. saturday we went to my friend brian's st. patty's party. he has a heavily irish family, and nothing beats his 65 year old father taking on all comers in arm wrestling at 3:30 in the morning. he was tanked and still could kick every one's ass. too much trouble. five and a half liters of jameson were consumed. that's enough whiskey to kill a huge amount of squirrels. if killing squirrels is your thing.

i'm listening to the jimmy eat world demos again. these demos are really good.

death and dismemberment on sunday. you guys going?

to work, to work!

Friday, March 15, 2002

Becky

The empty bottle rocks, there is not doubt about that, oh yeah!
I'm a huge Duvall fan now, although I still have personal issues with the straight-up religious songs, but there was only one of those.

Hey Mercedes was also awesome-I even had an almost run-in with Mr. Nanna himself when he walked past me while I was filling up my cup of water (which kept me going thru the night-that place is hot!), but alas, I could not find words before it was too late.

No one played the "Sanford and Son" theme song like we were hoping. cheers to Jen for bringing that up, even if the guitar player in greg's band had never heard it....

And finally, the key to going to a show when you are feeling sick is to wear earplugs. they make a world of difference.

This song will become the anthem of your underground.

I swear, I'm retarded.

I was half way home this afternoon when I realized that I left my zip disk - with all of my digital work on it - in the lab. So, I got off the train to come back to a locked door with a class behind it. I have two options: I can either wait until 5:30 when class is over, or I can knock on the door, bust in during the middle of class, look like a complete ass and get my disk back.

This week has been kinda busy, and this is my only week day off from work. Plus, I've been here late working at the museum to get the show up and the old one down. I had so many plans for such a wonderful afternoon. I was going to shoot for grad seminar and work on digital at home, and now I'm stuck here. boo.

I'm going to bust in at 3:15. I have to.

Last night's show* at the Elbo room was excellent. It looks like all merchandise is selling well, so that makes me happy!!!**

This Thursday is the Duvall/Hey Mercedes show at the Empty Bottle. I'm super excited to see the psuedo-smoking popes back in action. Destination Faliure is one of my favorite albums. I know George Costanza says you should leave on a high note, but really, you shouldn't be left wanting more! Anyway, I think there are tickets still on sale. We have to support out favorite hey may too!

Ok, I'm going in. Wish me luck on not looking like a complete arsehole.


*ha, ha. I just remebered that I can't post links on macs. So, when referring to last night's show, I mean Drawing a Blank at www.drawingablank.net
**Hint, hint. Buy a CD!!!

Monday, March 11, 2002

Jen

Are you being driven or do you drive?

I'm pretty tired right now, but not tired enough to not go out and get a beer!

The museum is in transition between shows right now. All day we've been taking down the Shifting Tides show (all Cuban artists. It was a cool show and you should be ashamed that you missed it!) and packing it up. We are putting up the new show this week which is all about Chicago. EXCEPT for this stupid piece called the Mourning Wall. It's fucking ridiculous. It's a bunch (actually, 100 to be exact) of exposed polaroid negatives. That wouldn't be so bad if she (the artist) didn't justify this work by saying that this piece is mourning anyone that has died becasue of war, disease, accidents, natural disaters, poisoning, murders, getting struck by lighning, chocking on a chicken bone - basically anyone that has ever died at any time. AND she wants us to sell posters with a photograph of the piece with text basically describing what I said. So stupid.

Plus, I've been conditioning the negatives for the past couple of days, making the wall both an angry and bitter one for me. Grr to stupid artists.

The rest of the show should be so good. Please come!!!! I'll put up a link later.

Well, it's late, and I've been here since 9:00. Brian and I are going to get a beerr to relax a bit before I have to go home and finish some homework! yay!

No, really. It's been a good day. There are a ton of great people that work at the museum and I love this job a lot. I promise I won't bitch anymore. Ok, maybe "promise" is too strong of a word. . .









Becky

Today I opened up my hotmail inbox and I had 51 new messages. Since I only wish I was really that popular, I knew that something was fishy. Approximately 30-35 of those messages were from Slutty Sara. What is going on with junk mail filters? I think that sara belongs in my junk mail and not my inbox! whatever....

Atlanta here I come. I looked at the weather forecast and its supposed to be 40 degrees there tomorrow and then 70 degrees there on thursday! I have no idea which coat to bring.....

Friday, March 08, 2002

Becky

It feels like rain.

I am sitting in my cubicle, 10s of feet away from a window and yet it still feels dank.

which bring up a story of my childhood when my sister and I first saw The Burbs on WGN and we thought it was really funny......there's this one part where Tom Hanks says that he doesn't want to go up to their cabin because it is dank. for awhile both of us thought that he made up that word and that it was really really funny. I learned later that its still a funny word but the writers of The Burbs did not make it up.

Jen

Do you believe in love at first sight?

That's what some homeless guy said to me this morning.

Anyway, I have finally caught up on my sleep after the rock experience Wednesday night. I had a great time though and met some cool people too. Just for future reference, the old school camera I was using is called a twin lens reflex. I'm not sure about the brand though, becasue I think the label fell off. Sarah ( the friend that I borrowed the camera from) said it's pretty old and it's been around. (kinda like Greg! Just kidding!!!) I drop off the negs to get deved today, so we'll see how the turned out on Monday.

FYI- grad critique went much better than expected. That does NOT mean I like my professor though.

I didn't end up going to a movie last night as planned. I was much too tired. I only wish I can tell the tale of why this movie was important. Basically, the only hint that I can give is Seinfeld. Sounds vague, I know. Maybe I'll write about it another time.

Pizza is coming soon, so I should get off the computer and prepare. ( I know, preparing to eat sounds strange. Ok, I don't have to prepare, but I do have to go.) I really am so hungry!!!

Becky

I can smell my new shoes. It's kinda nice, actually.

No wings last night, only sleeping and alot of it. I wonder if Jen went to a movie or not.

Its supposed to be pretty crappy this weekend, so I'm hoping to catch up on reading and watching movies. I checked out Lolita from the library and have yet to crack the cover so I need to do that. I also am trying to keep up with my self-taught piano lessons on greg's new keyboard.

I really like Mike and Ike products. They are great for a little pick-me-up cause you don't feel all sick after eating them (like a candybar) and they can sit around your desk for awhile and not get too hard. Plus they have been keeping a stock in the vending machine lately; orange and cream, strawberries and cream and tropical typhoon (my favorite). I know that I said I enjoyed the bit-o-honey the other week, but there is still like 20 packs sitting in there and you just can't eat that much of them.

There's nothing like partying on a Wednesday night. we here at the okplusthree are rockstars (or we are just really, really stupid).

It was a really fun show. Jen took picts with her cam and another that she borrowed from a friend that was the coolest! It was square and sat on a tripod and you had to look down into it to see the image. What was that camera called again?

I worked the merch table-at one point greg offered for me to make out with people if they bought thier CD, but I thought that was a bit over the top (not to mention that there we no takers, but whatevs)

I cannot wait to go home and sleep. its all I can think about.....

Wednesday, March 06, 2002

Jen

Turn on your heart lights.

Although I have no time to tell you this story of why I also have a stupid Neil Diamond song in my head, I will anyway. Brian (my buddy at work) somehow got this song in his head and then changed the song to "turn on your hot lights" to relate to photography. This, by the way, happened Friday afternoon. It's been with me ever since and even this morning in class we were changing the words and singing the tune. I must destroy Brian!!!!!!


So fucking busy!!!!

I have to print some stuff out, and meet Greg at Union station at 3:10 to catch the train. Then I have to get my ass here early tomorrow to finish the evil deed of printing for my big fat professor that I hate and have to see for grad critiques tomorrow afternoon. She is so evil.

I just had the largest cup of coffee in the entire world and I'm shaking like a crack baby. I just hope my prints don't turn out shitty.

I can't wait to relax later and see the show (and take photos).

To the darkroom!

Seriously I work with a bunch of animals!

Today was more free lettuce (no thanks, I still have 2 heads from last week!) and then free strawberries just a minute ago. It was a madhouse in there! savages! but I am eating a yummy bowl of berries right now.

food testing can be good!

Yes, its early in the morning, but we've got a record release show to attend tonight! there's nothing better than driving to champaign after work and then back at 1am and then going to work the next day. don't expect to hear much tomorrow.....

Tuesday, March 05, 2002

so its been a regular farmers market at work lately and I get the leftovers! here's what I have brought home from work lately:

Friday: lettuce and green peppers
Monday: Tomatoes
Tuesday: brussel sprouts, green onions and asparagus (I said no to the corn cuz it looked kinda sick)

Becky

Guess what time it is? its patent searching time! In case you haven't been around long enough, sometimes I have some down periods at work where not much is going on so I do some patent searching to see what is out there. mostly trying to relate to packaging products. here's some funny ones I have recently run across:

-18 Human secreted proteins
-Method of rapidly producing cryogenically frozen dessert particles
-Oven-baked French fries having extended hold time
-Braille slot machine
-Process and system for processing cherry pits

............more funny ones to come, I'm sure

anyways, you should go rent Wet Hot American Summer because it is really funny in a bizzare sort of way.

I was thinking this morning after I almost took out a lady's door on Roscoe, that if you hit a parked car, would you leave a note or just drive away (you know, pull a halle barry)? has this ever happened to anyone? what a moral dilemma.

I have a neil diamond song in my head right now. don't ask.

No where in the Torah does it say "Thou shalt not have a little fun."

Everytime I see that sign on the L, I crack up. I remember one time when I was talking to my friend, Jordan, he said he couldn't go out becasue he had to much to do. Then I bust out the above line. He looked utterly confused and I laughed to myself for a half hour- ok, it wasn't that long, but I thought that it was funny.

Snow scares me. About three years ago, I was driving down this snowing side street in boo-foo, IL and my car slid out and flipped into a drainage ditch. I had to escape out of my tee-top. It was not fun. So, everytime it blizzards like it did this weekend, I kinda get a bit scared about driving. So, I didn't. I was all cozy inside for a full 24 hours, and although I got a little cabin fever, it saved me from having to drive in that weather.

Sunday I escape to Best buy where I picked up the new No Doubt and Saves the Day. That No Doubt album is so good. Becky, you agree, right? And I like the Saves the Day, although his voice gets so grating. What do you think?

My mom also came in for a day, so that was pretty cool. It's so nice to see her back at home, you know? Ok, maybe you don't.

I just logged off and switched computers to the one in the grad room. Unfortunately, Tom has to use the computer, so I should go, you know, to be nice and all.

I have tons of boring reading to get to anyway. boo.

Becky

Well, I have been trying to write something all day but nothing is coming to me. Yes, I could write about the snowstorm from this weekend, but it wasn't that bad (kinda pretty for awhile actually). Or I could write about the wedding and all of the maine south people, even though I mostly hung out with my friend Jenny who I felt bad for at first cause there was some mix up and she didn't get put at our table, but rather the pastor's table. but she's a nice girl so it worked :).

There is now a long running list of what songs should not be allowed to be played at weddings. I agree with most of them (YMCA, the macarena, the twist, etc.), but I still have a love for my favorite 8th grade dance-the electric slide. I know that the song is cheesy, but the dance is just so fun! Plus, greg wants to ban "Loveshack" which I also heavily disagree with.

We found a bar on Ashland that's open until 5 am. Its wierd when you live to close to something that you never knew existed.

I feel as if I have been sitting here for about 20 hours straight. yet it still is only 3:00. and I thought last week was slow........

Welcome to art class.

I love Superchunk. Basic lyrics, damn good songs.

The new site looks so awesome!!! yay!

Today I've been working on the mailing list most of the day. It's so interesting to go through the list, see names of famous photographers and have their home addresses at my fingertips. hmmm, it makes me think mischevious thoughts, you know? kidding.

I kinda wish that I could go to the wedding that Becky and Greg are going to tomorrow. I'd love to see how the said "ex" looks. I always thought she was a bit psycho- of course, that really has nothing to do with looks, that is if you don't count the crazy eyes and bloodstains on her shirt.

I am so sorry that I sound so twisted! I really am nice! (and normal. kind of.)

Brian, my friend here at work, and I just thought of a new great band name. Sleeping with your Mom. Actually, he was trying to think of another band name that starts with sleeping and I added your mom. We like it though. So, Drawing a Blank, are you interested in changing you name? Didn't think so.

Notice how I keep dropping a certain name? Is that because I want you to buy a certain album that was created by two fine minds* at this blog, with the support of a certain other fantastic blogger? I think the answer is, "yes, yes I do." e-mail greg, the only okplusthree blogger that doesn't actually blog, for info or album requests! Ok, I promise I won't write about it anymore.

I gotta go. Please, no snow.

*mostly me. he, he.

ps-go check out the new rock and roll page when you get a chance

Becky

I've been elected to Rock your asses til midnight

Oh yeah, its Friday and that is good. I don't know why this has been the longest week ever! and there is no vacation in sight!

Being an adult really sucks.

Plans for Passover/Easter celebrations are all set-its not that far away! It sucks because there will be alot of running around in 3 short days, but its good because we get to knock off spending quality time with 2 families in one weekend. ahh, the joys of living within 2 religions....

wedding bells this weekend for greg's ex-something. his parents love to remind me about it. I plan on making full use of the open bar.

I am on a massive hunt for my passport, as there are international vacations plans being made for the summer. I know that it's sitting somewhere "safe" but who knows where that is. I wish my passport had an alarm like when you lose the phone....

happy weekend and good luck with the snow.
