Listening to: a lot of Blink 182. Dude Ranch, their second studio album came out the summer of 1997. I was 16 and it changed my life. I listened to that cd on non-stop for about a year. And then I never really listened to any of their other albums. #Whatupwiththat? Maybe I was too busy listening to Alkaline Trio, Face to Face, Less Thank Jake and a million trillion other punk bands to realize what I was missing, but now almost 17 years later I'm discovering the rest of Blink 182's collection. It's awesome. They are one of the headliners at Riot Fest Chicago September 13-15 and I can't wait to see them. Totally stoked.
Thinking about: It doesn't look like we will be able to get to Dublin this November as we had hoped. It's bittersweet. Bryan's job is so new that he can't get the time off just yet. So that's great he is working, we have a second income, he's happy and getting his career going. It's bummer that he won't be able to go back and see his friends and family that he misses OH- SO- MUCH! And I'm super bummer I have to wait even longer to meet his parents. Our hope is that Bryan will be able to get some time off in February so that we can go then. I know it's a lot to ask for Dublin to come to us, but if any of Dublin reads this blog please know HUGE WELCOME ANYTIME.... really. truly.
Feeling thankful: for Bryan. As we near our 1 year anniversary of marriage, I am feeling so blessed and thankful for him. Our road to get to where we are today has been long and rough. A journey with endless rewards. He is without a doubt my best friend first and foremost and vice versa. Yellowbirds forever and ever and ever.... so corny!!
Exciting for: Riot Fest. We haven't been to a gig since June 1 and we are achin'. I am expecting so much punk rock goodness and I hope my expectation don't fall short.
Watching: A lot of movies lately.
- Jobs - meh, was only OK.
- We're the Millers - SO FUNNY! A modern day National Lampoon kind of movie. Raunchy though so beware.
- The Iceman - Fantastic!
- Pain & Gain - to my surprise a really good movie.
- The World's End - Pure Brilliance!
- Elysium - Meh.
Creating: I did a painting for my friend Adam. I am currently working on a painting for my friend Kate. Well, it's actually a painting I did for her a couple of years ago, but I was recently looking at it and thought "I could add more to that." For myself, I made a jewelry holder.
