Masa got this big old heavy-duty bottle and turned it into an aquarium. It looks really cool but the cat LOVES it. It's too heavy for him to move and the mouth is too small for him to reach far inside. So he just sits next to it, staring into it all day long. Last night, in fact, I got up at like 4am, and he was sitting on the dining room floor, staring intently at them fishies.
Hahahaha....

"last weekend at the benicassim festival appearance in spain, orri’s fantastic crown went missing. if you have any information that would lead to the crown being returned to the band then please contact us. a reward is offered to whomever helps get it back."
Such a shame, too. It's so much more colorful than those crap ones from Burger King.

I'm always excited about acoustic releases. I generally prefer them since they strip away the flashiness and give you the raw talent of the band. Motion City Soundtrack's Acoustic EP is no different. The EP features five tracks from their 2007 album "Even If It Kills Me". For those who don't know Motion City Soundtrack is an increasingly popular indie rock/alternative rock/pop group formed in Minneapolis. The band has released three albums under Epitaph Records.
As with most acoustic releases, the songs all sound much more earnest and heartfelt. The versions of "Fell In Love Without You" and "It Had To Be You" should go down in love-song history for their incredible emotion-evoking sound. Unlike some acoustic albums, Motion City Soundtrack delivers complete studio quality throughout the entire EP. There are not only acoustic guitars, but chimes, drums, piano, bass-- the whole nine yards.
This wasn't just a sit-down in the basement; it was crafted with much precision. The vocals may not have been as smooth as in "Even If It Kills Me" but they are strong and hit all their marks (which is no small feat with all of Motion City Soundtrack's high octaves). Even if you've already purchased "Even If It Kills Me" I highly recommend you pick this EP up. The quality and effort put into the Acoustic EP is easy to recognize, and it's a whole new take on all of the songs.

2 posts in one day, hasn't been normal for me lately! lol
I wish I woulda brought my camera cord with me I took a video of Ellie being silly yesterday after I gave her a bath. She likes to run at full speed throughout the house during her "dry off" time. She's crazy.
It's looking kinda dark and gloomy outside, yet it JUST.WONT.RAIN. please, just open up the sky and pour on us, cool it down a lil bit, I wont be mad at all I promise.
I think I'll get to writing some letters out tonight when I get home. Not much else to do. Don't feel like going to Stampede tonight.
I finished all my work on time/early so I have a few extra minutes here to do some stuff I need to.
Go ME! I processed 104 renewals today, and god knows how many handicapped placards probably over 50.
I'm super productive (=
I'm realllly craving wendy's right now.. but I know I shouldn't get any on the way home cuz I DO have some stuff there I'm just feeling lazy. Plus it'll be healthier anyways. Damn it.
Is it just insane that I feel like the only person in the world without kids?
ALMOST everyone I know has them, is pregnant with one, or can't wait to have them.
Am I the odd one out because I don't want any of the above anymore?
I mean I like quiet, sleeping, clean kids yeah sure they're cool.
But all the loud, obnoxious, dirty, grimy slimy ones... no thanks not for me.
I'd rather clean the litter box any day.
But every once in a while I see a cute one and for 2.5 seconds my mind changes... and then I slap myself back in to reality. Oh well, just a random thought to put out there... have a good one (=
so yesterday i posted my L & L's and while i was posting a photo via flickr i clicked on it and pppprffft my post was gone, just like that. so instead of re-doing it i decided to exit out of vox and focused on other things. i'm not sure why vox is having problems but frankly i am getting tired of it. augh!
in other news, in case you haven't noticed by my previous posts, i watched the dark knight movie on saturday night with my bros, sis and hubby. the movie was excellent. we went to the fox theater in westwood village and of course we had to wait in line, well my bro waited in line while we ate and took turns. the seats were great and the theatre was awesome.
heath leadger did a great job with the joker character and was trully AMAZING! and no i'm not saying that because he's dead either! i smiled throughout the whole flick and could not keep still in my seat. as soon as the joker spoke his first words everyone erupted in laughter and clapped. i have to admit i did too but after a while i was getting irked because i wanted to marinate in his
the action seats blew me away. christian bale was great as usual and all i kept thinking was the character he played on american psycho. remember the scene where he is having sex with the hookers and he keeps looking at himself in the mirror? LOL! the stuff he said was hilarious. anyway, this is a must see and will i be seeing this flick again? F yeah! duh. and no, i don't believe in harvey dent!!! although he was excellent.
tonight hubby, dre, paulie and i are going to watch steely dan in concert at nokia live. i cannot wait!
It's all I've heard and it's all I've said for the past few years.
I can't wait for the day until I don't have to say that word---someday.
Show us the last thing you bought.
Today I went to Relax the Back store. I have had a tempur-pedic contoured pillow for about 6 years now and its not doing it's job anymore....and lately my neck has been in so much pain because it's not getting any support when I am sleeping. My shoulders are so sore every morning and I am not sleeping very much at all because my neck is so sore and making other parts sore,too....and I have been getting a lot of headaches from the neck pain. So, I figured it was time to look into something new.
I love Relax the Back store and could spend hours in there. With anti-gravity chairs, lots of massage chairs, and a whole bunch of beds where you can lie on to test the mattress (most are memory foam) and to try out different pillows and leg wedges.....they expect you to try everything and stay awhile. I remember a long time ago, we spent a whole afternoon, practically, trying stuff out. And today, lying on the tempur-pedic mattress with a side sleeper pillow and a body pillow......it was so comfy and supportive, I almost drifted off and had a nap!!
Today I invested in a new pillow that is good for side sleepers and is amazingly supportive to my neck. OMG!! Love it! Love it! Love it! And I also got a body pillow which I have been wanting forever. I tried it out in the store and it's just wonderful.
It felt like a bit of a splurge....but, quite honestly, investing in things that help my back isn't really a splurge. Less doctors visits and less pain....is a VERY good thing! :)
Now, I just have to save up to buy one of those amazing tempur-pedic mattresses that are just a DREAM to lie on!
Why hello there!
If you've been on Twitter the last few weeks you'll have noticed about 1,000 "COME VISIT WE'RE STREAMING LIVE! LIVE I TELL YOU!!!" tweets from various people.
At first I was annoyed. WHY would I want to see you live? I barely know you! This is all moving too fast! Next thing you know you'll be wanting to leave a freakin' toothbrush over here and have your own drawer!
But now I totally get it. It's freakin' fun. I'll be trying to do one every night, so, come by and visit! I'll be posting on BitchBuzz's Twitter whenever we'll be going live on Qik.
1. change loads of laundry
3.catch up on vox
4. clean bathroom and litterboxes
5. get pictures printed for the book with lucy
8. work out
9. get all photography stuff in bag for class
10. make dinner
11. go to class
I have 5 hours to do it all.
Since I took yesterday off and it was utterly boring, all i did was lay around, eat, watch tv, eat some more, play with the dog, bitch about the heat, go to the library and then repeat all the above, I almost wish I had gone to work!
Today is going by incredibly slowly, and the people calling in are very argumentative and / or dumb as rocks.
I don't stutter, so if you listen the first time I won't have to repeat myself, is that too difficult a task for you to do? Argh.
I'm going to be super broke until my NEXT check in 2 weeks since my rent and car insurance both need to come out of this weeks check. That really sucks for me!
I'm getting really sick of this hot weather we've been having its like 10 days straight over at least over 90 degrees if not 100. My house stays at a totally UNcomfortable 83-85 degrees. The fans just blow hot air. At night it gets a LITTLE cooler, maybe 1 or 2 degrees and its so hard for me to sleep at night being so hot and uncomfortable. Ellie woke me up around 2am because she was on the bed panting so hard. So I got up and gave her some new water and ice cubes and had myself an otter pop, i also grabbed one of those blue ice packs and put it on the bed with me so I could have a lil coolness.
But I just feel exhausted like I'm not getting good, deep sleep and thats a big bummer.
Well I guess I don't have as much to say as I thought I did, it mostly just rattles around in my head till I forget about it all.. oh wells.. happy hump day everyone
