I Got the Medicine That Everybody Wants

CLRG and I went on a double date on Monday Night with our friends KR & TP. It was a grand time. We went to OTB in the South Side and then went down to the Smiling Moose to see a few bands. CLRG is friends with one of the guys in the main band and we saw some other music friends of his. It was such fun. I especially liked it when we were walking down to the Smiling Moose because the boys walked together ahead of me and KR and we were able to chat a bit and catch up. We hadn't really seen one another since Halloween! Crazy. Anyway, I liked the double date thing. I am excited to hang out with KR without the boys sometime and to go out with all four of us again.

I Am Assured Peace Will Come to Me

You know how I always say that I don't know that I am going to make it through this final or that? And how I always go on and on about how much these finals are killing me? I think it's funny because, no matter how much I complain and whine and get all angry about it, I always do everything I am supposed to. Of course, things are not generally as awesome as they could be, but they are alright and I turn them in on time and then it's over. Silly me. I turned in my final exam essay for my British Empire class this afternoon. All that remains is my art history final, which is stressing me out. After I handed in my paper, I took books back to the library with CK. He had two bags. I had three. We looked ridiculous.

The new Josh Ritter album comes out tomorrow. I have been listening to it on NPR for the past two weeks or so. Amaaaaaaazing. I seriously can't wait to own it and listen to it on repeat for sixteen days. Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but come on. It's fabulous. He is playing a show here on the 18th and I really really want to go. Elle said she was interested, K said she had to think about it. It will be great. GREAT. AHHHH. If you want to have a listen, go here and feast your ears on something delicious. For real.

You Are Not Alone; I Am Here With You

I just painted my toenails a color called Times Square Tangerine Creme. It is nice and summery. I don't really have much else to report (it is sad that my nail polish is the only thing I can think of that is exciting).

I'm listening to The Essential Michael Jackson right now and it makes me both happy and sad. It is very sad that he died so young. Very, very sad. I was at the movies with CLRG when I found out for sure and I really hoped that it was a false report. What an icon, you know? And then to also lose Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett as well? Tragic, really.

In other news, CLRG and I are going out tonight to celebrate his friend's birthday at some beer place in the South Side. I'm sure it will be a quality time. I don't have to work tomorrow (amazing!) and we got free tickets to the Pirates/Royals game from his sister, so I think it will be a nice day. Woo!

All the Roads Lead Back to You

So I bought the new Mat Kearney album this afternoon. I've already listened to it twice. I really like it. Here is a video for one of the songs. I hope you like it too.

I am really sleepy. I think I should go to bed.
