scion owners are weird...

i'm learning that owners of Scion xB's are kinda weird - guess i'll fit in since i'm kinda weird too...

a few things that are on cafe press that i found amusing:

the weekend...

so, i decided against the detroit idea - it'd be great to see the HNIA show, but the anxiety involved in such a last minute thing just isn't worth it. besides, i need to be home doing some house cleaning. brought in some boxes from the garage, and my place is a huge pile of clutter.

i finally got on the iTunes kick, now i've been downloading tunes like crazy - not just from iTunes, but other sites, as well as putting CD's onto my laptop...

went to dinner with Deb last night - yummy!! bd's mongolian barbeque is up north, so i dunno about making it a regular place to go, but hey, if i'm headed to costco or visiting friends up there, i'd definitely go back...

oh yeah, and there's that little matter of me buying a new car. once i get the check from my aunt (danged trust fund!) i'll be purchasing a new 2006 Scion xB. i don't think i'll be pimping it out like most people in the Scion community seem to do, but who knows. i love the "You just got passed by a toaster" stickers - people seem to have a love/hate reaction to this car, with the "negative" reviewers saying that it looks too much like a toaster. Since mine's silver, i'm sooooo tempted to construct a huge piece of toast out of styrofoam or some such and attach it to the top of the car to really enhance the toaster idea...Heywood Banks would approve, i'm sure.

Unnecessary Censorship

Jimmy Kimmel Live's got a bit called "This Week in Unnecessary Censorship" that i find to be farking hilarious, with a gentle poke to the FCC thrown in for good measure.

His Name Is Alive rocks!

the concert in Chicago was great! i'm soooo glad i went. now i'm pondering going to saturday's show in Detroit since it's the last date on this tour. since Detroit's their home town, i'm predicting this would be a kick-ass show. *ponder*

AWESOME...

awesome doesn't even begin to describe it - the concert KICKED ASS. the band that opened for HNIA was NOMO - very interesting, i picked up their CD...Warren Defever produced their disc as well.

still got songs swirling around in my head (and white castles in my belly) so i can't think, but i'm feeling really good right now... *8-)

in chicago...

so, after some traffic snarls we made it. ugh, construction traffic sucks! along the way we saw signs suggesting you call a toll-free number to see how to avoid using the roads - someone shoulda informed mapquest about this stuff. i'm really glad adam was driving - it woulda probably given me an aneurysm, trying to deal with the stress on my own.

so, we got checked into the motel 8 - i think expedia was being overly generous when saying it was a 1.5 star hotel - and we're chilling a bit before concert time...

we found the dunkin' donuts down the street and got a box of donutty goodness. went to the gas station across the street from the motel to get milk. adam teased me cuz i had "a fan" at the gas station - he mentioned liking my purple hair and that he agreed with my t-shirt (the M [peach] W shirt from tshirthumor.com)

we came back to the room - now our bellies full of donutty goodness. i suppose we should have some real dinner, but damn these donuts are good! a guesstimate of my current blood sugar is about 972...

more later...

giddy giddy giddy!

sheesh, you'd think i was going to see santa claus or something - i'm sooo excited about this road trip! a chance for 1 on 1 time with my bro, an opportunity to see one of my all-time favorite bands (and the friggin tickets were EIGHT bucks!!) and a possibility of getting Dunkin' Donuts. i'm sorry, Krispy Kreme just does not match up! i'm debating whether or not to take my glucometer to check my blood sugars, but i probably won't - they've been so out of whack lately anyways, whether or not i'm eating properly.
