leave the bourbon on the shelf

mardi gras was rather tame this year both personally and work-wise.
i didnt really have any drunken nights, seeing as i worked 6am-2pm for the weekend and my only day off was monday. i still had fun though. we went to most every parade and rosey & lauren rode so we got lots of cool things that i still have no idea what to do with. im not looking forward to the nba weekend because everyone is saying is basically gonna be hell and i know theyre going to make me work all the days bc i always get stuck working on days id really rather not, but whatever, i suppose everyone feels likes that.

in the past few days i keep hearing about everyone wanting to take a cruise & to be quite honest, i really hope it happens. ive been wanting to take a cruise for a long time and we've been doing the same summer vacation together for years now, so a change will be nice. i know as long as we're all together it will be a guaranteed good time. so im looking forward to that and hoping that it all works out and that everyone is able to go.

i was telling lele today about this goofy little story thing i have going in my head & she said that it sounds like it could really develop into something more so i think im going to try to organize it all into a short story sometime soon. i always say stuff like that and i work for a little while then i just forget or lose focus. thats something im trying to work on though.

omg. how could i forget to mention....OBAMA is coming here tomorrow. hes giving a speech at tulane in the morning, so if im not a walking zombie by the time i get off tomorrow, im really going to try to go. i know they say you should never discuss politics and things like that, but im just so excited. i really love everything this guy stands for and is promising and id just really like to see him in action for myself instead of watching every cnn ballot bowl or debate. ideally, i think he and hilary should be a single ticket no matter who wins the actual nomination. they both have really good ideas and plans (even if i do lean a little more towards obama's side of things) and im just really excited about this election. i really feel like this could be a great time for change in the country and in things in general.

oh, i bought across the universe today. im so excited. i love that movie, way more than i should. i also picked up the killers new cd last week & let me just tell you... it is bangin'. its probably my favorite so far, because its so upbeat and fun and dance-y & they have the most wonderful cover of "romeo & juliet" on it. i love that song way too much, i know, but its so pretty i cant help it. its just flawless to me, and i think they did really good job or redoing the song but without losing all the magic and sincerity that makes it so great.


omgomg. aaaaand they announced the line up for bonnaroo this year and i want to go so bad. fuck coachella. tenessee is a hell of a lot closer and way less expensive than l.a. im hoping i can save up the money for this aaand the cruise, but honestly, theyre less than a month apart so who knows. it is a nice idea though. i do wish i had more friends who were into the kind of music i like though, as open minded as my lovely people are, they just wouldnt spend $500 on a music festival for a band they kinda recognize, ya know? eh whatev... a girl a can dream. i know i'll always have lele in my back pocket.


shiiiit man. i love the killers. for reals. <3
