Plus... Jellies are a thing again! I bought a pair last weekend at DSW. The plasticky shoe smell of my childhood is in the air and I'm loving every minute of it!!

Sitting all day is killing you --- ain't that the truth! I've been taking daily walks to get away from my desk

They're continuing this show? God help us.

Can't wait till this book comes out!

Going to see Portugal the Man this weekend at the Bluebird... can't wait! Last time we tried to go for Amanda's bachelorette and it was sold out and it was my fault. bummer.

Have a lovely weekend!

The Original Hipsters

This made me laugh today, Dads are the Original Hipsters




"Your dad ate local fair trade produce before you did and he has dirt under his finger nails to prove it."





"Your dad went to dance parties before you did. Long before you were grinding up against some poor hipster girl wearing an American Apparel jazz jumper at a Steve Aoki concert, your dad was showing honey dips his hip swivels"





"Your dad had a mustache before you did. He rocked one the bitching-est lip sweaters on his block."

Portlandia

I need to make a point to watch this show! The clips are so funny!

This made my day.

Print one off so the world can see!

Happy St. Patty's Day everyone!


Careful ladies,

This is one of my favorite holidays of the EVER. I love everything Irish and to celebrate I thought I would dust off some Irish phrases that I learned over in Dublin. I'll probably be throwin' some of these around tonight after a few Irish car bombs! (Stacie-- you and Brad will have to learn some of these before heading over there this summer!)

In Cork for the Swell Season Show! Fall 2008

 

Tim Fite!

Okay guys, so I went to a concert on Monday night at the Hi-Dive. I love going to concerts without any expectations which is what I did this time since I was invited by a friend and didn't know anything about any of the bands that were playing.



So, Tim Fite opened for Azure Ray and Tim Kasher. We were waiting for things to get started and this guy in white overalls and a shaved head (except for some long stringy pieces on top) gets up on stage and starts rockin it! He had such great stage presence and his show was actually a performance, it was smart and funny and was a little indie/hip hop/country. You could also tell that he totally got into it and he put on such a great show. The Rambo song was hilarious and definitely worth checking out.

I didn't stick around to see Azure Ray's whole performance, they're stuff isn't really my style--- girly, breathy harmonies- meh. So I went next door to Sputnik for some yummy vegan tacos. Tim Kasher was pretty good but I didn't stick around for the whole thing because my lame ass usually goes to bed at 9:30. Before I left I had to pick up one of Tim Fite's albums though so I chose Fair Ain't Fair which I have been rockin' in my car since Monday night. Every time I listen to it, I get into it even more so here are a few of my favorites:

Big Mistake
Yesterday's Garden
More Clothes

Enjoy.

It was foretold.

Lincoln, Nebraska – A man dressed as a breathalyzer was arrested for alleged drunk driving after leaving a party.
Chief of Police, Tom Casady, said: “Because I can’t make this stuff up, yesterday morning after the bars closed, Officer Tyler Nitz arrested this man for drunk driving. The defendant was still dressed in his Halloween costume and he tested more than twice the legal limit.”
“He was joined at the detox center by a French maid and a naughty border patrol agent.”

Oh I love that this happened in my home State of Nebraska, we do love Halloween.

Don't mess with this guy.

What can I say? This was not on my car but I had to laugh because when I saw it I remembered when my friend Amanda got one of these on her car this summer at my apartment complex. Not quite as mean as this but I bet that was the last time anyone parked on his privates...

Finally! My dream man
