Haha... That was good.
bah! I hate Ticketmaster! Got my tickets to The Verve. But... I was trying to get the O2 Arena London tics for convienence. (Even tho, seeing them in Madchester would be awesome!) But Ticketmaster forgot to add the option for Overseas postage... and by the time they added it, it was sold out... within 10 minutes or less. I even was in the midst of calling them to order over the phone. So, after not be able to get Standing in O2 & the only thing up for offer at this point was Row Z! ... I decided to get a Standing ticket at their last night in Manchester. Thankfully, at least one show was still available after staying up this long waiting for the sale. I'm hoping I can swap Manchester for London with someone, otherwise, gonna be traveling up there. Either way it'll be unbelievably exciting. I see Manic Street Preachers on Wednesday, December 12 at Carling Brixton Academy in London & The Verve on Friday, December 21 (if I don't find a person to trade) at Central in Manchester.
You're nuts. haha
Nah. I wouldn't say that. As unfortunate timing would have it... Royal Mail is on strike until October 10! Arrrrrgh! Besides concert tickets, I'm also awaiting on delivery of a jacket (Which I thought was coming from Germany since I ordered it from a German website but found out just now it's coming from Britain ... so gotta wait for Royal Mail to go back to WORK!)
I just think its funny you are going to fly to England to see a concert. That's prob gonna cost a fortune.
One of my weaknesses, music is. As ironic as it seems, I'm tight with my money.. but you gotta live life once in a while don't you? But, I've been wanting to see friends that I haven't seen in almost 3 years tho anyway. Just wasn't planning on going until next year really. It's not gonna be like me hopping on a plane, pop by the depths of Brixton London to see a show then head up to Manchester to see a show & back to London for my flight back to the States. (Although originally I was kinda planning to just see The Verve & stay in London for 3 days, then head back Stateside) I'm gonna make a little vacation out of it, catch up with friends, stop by the old job, see some sights, and what have you.
Oh, well then I'd say its a pretty worthwhile trip.
OKAY YOU CAN GO NOW ROB DAN SAYS IT OKAY
People on here should pay me as a consultant.
dont consultants usually have to have some useful insight into something?
i mean id def call you up if i had some Rush trivia i needed to figure out... def.
and I guess I'd call you for tips on winning in a hot dog eating contest.
Problem is, now I'm tempted to just see concerts the whole time I'm there. Madness, The Chemical Brothers, Kaiser Chiefs, The Pogues, Ocean Colour Scene, and two guys from The Jam.... all have shows. I gotta stop going to the Pollstar & Ticketmaster websites or I'm gonna be institutionalised for concert addiction.
2 minutes & counting
Less than a half hour to go. This is painful but worth it.
Thing is, while waiting all this time tho, I was browsing other shows, & ended up buying Manics tickets. ...but, how can that ever be a mistake. can't. i know my bill is gonna freak me out at the end of this month & it's only the first week. this spells trouble.
Bjork on Conan as musical guest tonight! Possibly a rerun... but I haven't seen it, so either way it'll be fresh to me. I gotta try to stay up for another 2 hours to get tickets so I'm watching the 3am airing.
argh i just realized i have like 5 sick days, 2 floating holidays, and 1.5 vacation days to use before the end of the year... but i never get sick and i want to go snowboarding ... my last job just lumped everything today into 15 days off, i've never had it broken down like this before.
how do I use my sick days without arousing suspicion?
get one of those keyboards that Ferris had and call up your boss using that.
i'm guessing you can't trade them in for pay. i would use two in a row twice. cuz if you call out sick 3 days in a row, usually they want a drs note. and let the fifth go the way of the birdie.
my boss suggested calling in sick can mean you're sick of work and you need a day off.
yeah totally, mental health days!
seriously! i've taken a few.
*you still feeling ok?
haha
*yep.. it's like nothing happened hehe. You?
thats godo tho.
im still in pain. uncomfy but the chiro is DEF helping and i was able to sleep good last night.
i LOVE mental health days!! those are the bestest ever
I’m on fire and now I think I'm ready to bust a move
Check it out I’m rocking steady
To the beat in my head
lesson learned: the subways of NYC are unsafe at 11:30 at night
yeah. bums don't flush. ew.
if only that was it, i would have been much happier!!
Spill Muffy, you get mugged or something?
no, but I think we almost did. We were on the subway and this guy gets on and he had his hand in his pocket like he had a gun. And he was begging and telling this story like the man is trying to keep him down. He kept talking and talking. At the last minute, my friend wendy was like we need to get off this train. I've never been so scared in my life
Creapo!
Good you got yourself out of that situation! Best to err on the side of caution.
thats what I thought! I was praying to Jehovah the whole time! I said to Wendy, we are getting a taxi i dont care what it costs!!
that was me. it's part of my nightly show. i've been practicing a lot, trying to improve my act. sorry i scared you so bad.
btw, my friends and i do this all day long, not just at night. and usually no one even notices that we're going on, they're so used to it. i guess they just don't understand my views on things, they ignore me.
and that was a baby ruth in my pocket.
ian, is that a baby ruth in your pocket or are you just happy to... eh, nvm.
are you black and weigh 250 lbs??
oh, must've been the next car down. sorry
That makes me a sad panda.
next time you want to take the subway call me, i'll guard you gals
i almost could have used you like 5 minutes ago, but its ok now. Thanks though - I will remember that in the future!
man, Im gone for one day and there over 70 new musings!
so every time chris and i have sopapillas at a mexican place we always say, MAN they should figure out how to make this in ice cream form
well they did
Breyers has "fried ice cream" ice cream. It's sopapilla ice cream.
when you guys are out here i'll take you to a place that has yummy fried ice cream. do you guys have el torito restaurants there? they have some fried ice cream there/
Anyone wanna go to the UK with me to see The Verve. Probably like a 3 day getaway.
LOL! Dude, who would leave the country to go to a concert?
I know you would if it were Rush
bahaha.. i would for certain bands
that's hilarious, you got modded as funny for that
PS - Rush is lame!
You're lame!
Uh... I wouldn't for any band.
and that is why you dont succeed my young padawan....
The line is "That is why you fail..." Get it right!
the actual line didnt fit for what i was trying to say....
so YOU get it right...
you get hurt playing football that weekend? or did you man up?
Blah blah blah... Go eat a taco.
I didn't play because Jake had baseball practice in the afternoon. But I will soon.
you could have just said, "no mike, i was unable to man up" and that would have covered it... blaming your lameness on your son DOESNT excuse you.
You are quite the comedian today.
what can i say... i missed you when you were gone...
I was kinda playing it up like I'm just going there 'cause of a band ... actually, it happens that I've been itching to go back to the UK & recently got word that British Airways is running a special Flight/Hotel/Theatre package on 2 person roundtrip flights right now based on at least a 3 day stay. Which would work out pretty much perfectly. Only hitch really is that the BA package is based on 2 person travel. I am 1 person.
aww kam hope you're ok
yaaaaaa i'm fine just dont feel very good "mentally" hehe i can't believe i did that! No accidents ever, no tickets for YEARS.. :( bummerrrrr
oh well
let this be a public service announcment
do not use the phone while driving
oh yea. i'm thinking about liability
bummer kam.
if you have collision.. the insurance only pays for the other person damage. Unless you have 2-way collision.
if you have comprehensive .. pays for yours and theirs and mines.
Collision covers your own car if you're at fault.
Comprehensive covers your car if it's damaged by an unknown person or an "act of god"
seriously, seriously, just when i was about to celebrate the end of a SUCKY month
ohhhh no! were you hurt?
no i'm totally fine but my car is hurt.. :(
dang itttt. new car! lol
awww, nooo. c'monnn!
sorry to see/hear that, jew-z
ya i totally didn't see this girl stop to make a left into a gas station. thankfully i was going pretty slow and basically just "grazed" her i almost didnt' feel an impact!!!
but.. if it's your fault does insurance pay for the damages... what's gonna happen :(
man that sucks.
your insurance will pay for it if you have Collision coverage. If your car is financed or leased, you have it.
yeah i just talked to insurance and they said they pay for it minus deductible of course.. my insurance is gonna go up though right.. FUN
on the bright side - the tow truck guy asked me if i live at home and if i called my dad yet. haha. and i was like.. umm i'm married and almost 30. thanks though!
aw lady. im so sorry. i totally jinxed you. i shouldn't have told you about my accident yesterday. :(
eh things have been going bad one thing after another since September 1st and my foot tendonitis just healed up so it was about time for the next bad thing to happen
when i think about what could have happened if i didn't see her and didn't slam on my brakes and if there was a baby in the baby seat in her back seat and if one of us wasn't wearing her seatbelt ... oyyyyyyyy
whew
don't do that to yourself! sheesh! it's just a minor fender bender. it's okay, it happens.
just don't text message and drive, mmkay
hahaha yeah i drive myself crazy
yeah no text messaging and driving
let this be a warning TO ALL
i took my eyes off the road for a SECOND....
I'm guilty of this as well. I was texting my gf while driving to work on rt 80 and didn't watch in front of me. Well, I stopped short and the woman behind me nicked my bumper. No damages, but it could have been worse.
yeah i was really embarrased at first that basically it happened because of phone use - i didn't want anyone to know - but then i realized i can use it as a lesson to others!! haha chris says i should tour schools LOL
was she ok?
yea
good. as long as all involved are ok.
so much irony too, i was using my phone becuase i wanted to set up one of those dinners that fivezero was talking about and i was calling to see what a good day would be................... haha....
so really it's all redsweater's fault
surrre, blame me
baha isn't that one of the stages of grief
glad it wasn't serious & no injuries
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
nah it's ok! I am not hurt at all, i didn't even feel an ounce of soreness today. I hope the other girl is ok. Insurance said they will pay for everything so... it's not that bad. coulda been worse.
this might help for you speedsters...lol
my friend linda (the one who almost died) was visiting her friends circuit assembly this past weekend. Anyway one of the brothers who was giving one of the talks, was on her liaison committee and gave her experience from the platform. she said she couldn't help but cry but was SO shocked that others in the audience were crying.
i reminded her that her putting jah first even in death, is DEF faith strengthening. i would've cried too if i would've heard that experience.
aw wow
*how are you doing lady*
i know. she said after that some of the friends let their friends know and realized she was there and everyone went up to her and hugged her.
im SO sore. lol i was so mad last night cause my chiro made me jsut go home, take ibu, and relax so i had to miss my dance class :(
*thanks so much for asking*
wow, thats amazing.
i always feel embarresed when i start crying at the assem/convention, but then you look around and everyone else is too.
Has anyone ever made cornish game hens? Suggestions on how to prepare??
make em like little turkeys with stuffing and the works.
step 1. put in oven
step 2. call me and tell me what time it will be done
step 3. i eat
roast 'em with rosemary and olive oil! crispy. maybe with a very subtle blackberry glaze. sides are asparagus and small patatos. dessert is edies slow churned pumpkin ice cream. that's exactly what i want tonight... *sigh* i'm gonna order a pizza, probably
oh what! They make pumpkin slow churned?!?!?! must get it. hmm i wanna make a nice big fall festive dinner one of these days.
wow! that sounds good! have you ever made it? cuz i'm not sure how rosemary and blackberry would go.
i love anything pumpkin as well.
don't order pizza, treat yourself to a homecooked meal!!!
why didnt you reply to MY response
WHATEVER MY RECIPE WAS BETTER
hahaha, that would be too much work for like a cup of stuffing. haha
plus i just made turkey with the fixins last week in the outerbanks. sorryyyy maury.
ONLY someone from LI would thing sorry and maury rhymes...
i just made all that up... i never made it. it sounds good to me though. the glaze was an afterthought. try it?
AHH! i'm so excited. I just got a Dyson Animal Vacuum off ebay for $200 less than the in store prices.....brandnew. woohoo! i've never been so excited about an appliance. haha
We've dealt with crappy vacuums for the 3 years we've been married, it will be so nice to have one that works really well!!!
you never had to vacuum before you got married? lol
hahahahahahaha
uhh, yea, but it was a good vacuum, and wasn't mine. therefore, i've had to deal with crappy vacuums since i got married.
haha yeah i need a dyson so bad. I'm pretty tired of the vacuum totally clogging with Mastodon's toy innards
haha, yea, no toy would survive atlas for more than a few minutes and it would be strewn everywhere.
this vacuum is especially for pet hair, it's so gross, i moved the couch the other day to vacuum behind it with my poopy vacuum, and you still see the fur after you've gone over it 10 times. so hopefully this one is better.
LOL i was kidding chica.
Do you have a Wii?
Get some grippy covers from Nintendo for free!
wow, where was redsweater all day?
it was on the prowl
man... remember life before youtube? what the heck did we do .. wow
aw poor Britney.
aw i know
does anyone have anymore of those trance party albums? i was hooked up with vol. 1, but apparently there are many more...
I have Best of Trance 4, and it's really good
she's prob going to kill herself:
CNN Breaking News
-- A court has ordered pop singer Britney Spears to give up custody of her children effective Wednesday at noon, according to court papers.
i hate baseball but YAYYYY for the angels, they're in the playoffs!!!
highlight of the weekend - besides my talk ...
my brother in law benn was over with his friends (do any of you know benn?) and they're laughing at my old-school xbox ... my wife goes out, and benn starts doing all the things i'm not allowed to do - using the decorative kitchen towels, putting his mouth on the water jug from the fridge, and eating food without a plate (he made himself waffles and spilled syrup on the floor)
why was this the highlight? because as soon as Lauren got home I had a LIST of stuff her brother did, and she hit him. it was AWESOME.
haha, you're pure evil.
full talk or symposium? how'd it go?
it was awesome!! one of the best talks i've ever heard!!
full. went well, i thought. i never talked for 45 minutes straight before (well until i started practicing last weekend) but it went fast while I was up there.
dont get used to that buddy
you evil lil man! i thought you were going to say that lauren came back w/an xbox 360. lol
so how was it? was this your first?
i thought the same thing.
ha i thought the same thing
haha no i have a wii and also i need to do more bible reading
mp3's?
i wanna hear
That's awesome you gave your first talk! Mine is now 20 days away...
I missed Dan's talk cause I had the CO and DO this week (and tickets to a play) but let me know when yours is, I'll try my best!
Randomness...had dinner in the city last night and Kelly Ripa was near us. She's even skinnier in person but still gorgeous.
argh so jealous ... i love her
I have mine on October 21, its a 9:30 meeting and you're more than welcomed to attend.
thanks. I'll wear the mickey hat and glasses ;)
Oh sweet! Now I can pick you out of the audience!!
How did your PT go?
It went good... thanks for asking. I cant believe all the time and preperation for it and it seemed like it just flew by... It gives you a lot more appreciation for the brothers who have more than one outline and work on them continually...
hey, hey remember that season where the Mets were doing so good and the Yanks weren't at the beginning so Mets fans were talking junk because they had the best record in their league for a while and then it turned out they didn't even make the playoffs but the Yankees did?
Hey bozo... Everyone, including Yankee fans thought the Mets were going to make it. You can't explain a collapse like this in a 2 week period other than they took it for granted. And I'm sure when the Yankees were 14 games out, you thought they were done, so shut it!
It doesn't matter what i thought ha, i didn't say anything about it...
NBL
(Brotherman takes lightsabre and lops HunkpapaP's head off... The dark side flows through him at that moment....) LOL!!! Oh well... Go Red Sox!
BTW... The Yankees collapse to Boston in 2004 remains the #1 collapse in all of sports.... Thank you....
haha it was until the mets this season
No... Because a team losing a series after being up 3-0 has only been accomplished once in baseball history. Teams collapsing in September happens a lot. The only difference is, the Mets collapse was the worst in such a short span of games.
ESPN ranked the Mets collapse #4 all time. Yankees against Red Sox in 2004 remains #1.
hahah who cares? Sour grapes my man
i know this world is cruel and peeps are all about "me" but its so hard to not be SO angry and upset at some worldly actions. about 2 weeks ago a one of the warehouse workers (bout 28) was atop of the bins, way up top and fell. from what we heard he was ok and just cut his leg. so come the following Monday (last Monday) we find out he died. the most horrible news ever. we were all so bummed and we were told to not talk about it...NOT AT ALL. so of course we still did trying to figure out what went wrong.
some stories were he had a pre-existing condition (high blood pressure) that cause him to get sick and fall. anyway everything has been going around the rumor mill. so on wednesday, one of the security guards that i talk to (and witness too) came in to see how i was doing and we were talking about our co-worker that died. anyway he was w/the kid and told me the whole story. said our co-workers cut was deeper than what everyones talking about that you could see his bone and that he lost a lot of blood because it was at least an hour before anyone in our company tended to him. and by the time they finally sent him to the hospital, they didn't call an ambulance but called a cab. this poor kid was in pain, hurt and all the called was a cab. this KILLED me and i've been SO upset about it. i couldnt help but cry when i was told. its just SO horrible....he's human. but yet they treated him like a piece of worthless meat. UGH
wow that is really awful!!
aww that's really sad ...
i know. its like i can understand the company needing to protect themselves BUT he's still human ya know.
that makes me sick
me too. i told my mom and sisters and they were SO mortified and cried when i told them. they treated him SO wrong.
:(
wow that's horrible, i actually stopped chewing my breakfast midway through
yeah. i cant shake it. its horrible. BUT i did find out that one of the kids that works here called the local newspaper (anonymously) and they're investigating and the security guard is talking to the family regarding being a witness etc.
I LOVE this commercial!
wasn't expecting such a plain commercial. what do you like about it? i know what i like about it.
the song... it's so soothing and pleasant and fall-ish :)
mmm. i like the song too. it's got a pretty lilt.
while the cuts have no rhyme or reason... it tells a loose lil story. i like that the different settings are loosely suggested with props while it's clear they all exist in one locale.
it's nice. pretty. economical. effective. go buy a sweater.
i like the song too.
ah-hah! i thought that was her. she's nerdy hot. kinda.
CD Baby has high quality MP3s of her entire album, each 2 minutes long. The song from the ad is The Way I Am.
So, you've heard of her before? I think Mikayla would really like this cd.
s'posed to be a reply to fivezero.
hey what's the site that gives you info about music from commercials? who sings that beatles cover from the Target commercials?
i usually use adtunes.com
rarely lets me down
saw her on a local access channel, channel 8 or something. playing paino and singing. i thought it was kinda nice. it's funny, because i generally don't like that kinda stuff, but it got through to me. so, i looked up her page on myspace and i'm more familiar now. her stuff is all right. mik might like A Fine Frenzy too.
yep, she does, i think that's the last CD she bought.
i'm goooddd!
yeah she's so cute, i like her and her voice and music
So Mikayla didn't seem too impressed by it. But turns out she loves Feist (from the new iPod Nano ads). Cool.
incredible
Kamila or anyone that knows Polish... I need like News / Press Releases from a Polish website... what does "Informacje dla prasy" translate as? Would it be safe to say this is what I'm looking for?
