New Things that I bought today and I love them ALL

ok, this was one of the things that I bought today and they taste so good that I had to post something about them. Everyone knows that I am a salty girl and I love all things crunchy. These chips are the perfect mixture of BBQ and crispy chip goodness!!!










This is the second thing that I bought today was this FREAKING AMAZING ICE CREAM!!! I don't even really like ice cream, but MAN ALIVE!!! This really has everything in it!!! It has heath bar, white chocolate, chocolate covered Almonds, Peanut butter cups with chocolate ice cream. This is the most amazing ice cream I have EVER had!!! For reals yo!! SOOO SOOO Good!!!






OK, I totally saved the best for last. This is my new brand new guitar!!! I LOVE this guitar!!!! it has such pretty sound. It's deep and nice and loud!! As soon as the guy put it in my hands and I started to play it. I knew that I was taking this baby home!! It's exactly the price that I wanted and it's awesome. I bought a strap and a stand. I got picks for free. It was a good day. It was a really quick purchase. I haven't thought of a name for it. I haven't even decided if it's a boy or a girl yet. If it's a boy it will def. have to be named mini the Edge or something corny. So maybe it should just be that... mini edge!!!! Done that's it. Mini The Edge!! AND IT'S ALL MINE!!! I love him. My new guitar that is. It's really pretty. So the pic here is pretty much it, I fouund this pic on google. it's hard to see bc a bit blurry. but you get the idea.

On another note I was invited to this website that has all these DMB tv performances that I can download for FREE!!! or rather that Honey can so kindly download for me. It's like the site was made for me. It's really cool.

I got an e-mail from Foy on myspace so that was cool. I wrote him a really long e-mail back. He's awesome bc he opened for Dave in London, so now I am on a look out for anyone who has that show taped. Even though I read that they weren't letting ppl. tape bc the venue was too small. But you never know. I would love that whole show with Foy and Dave. If anyone has that please let me know.

Also, I want to say MAZAL TOV to Honey for getting her proposal for her dissertation. I am very proud of you and had no doubts that it would be accepted.

I am going to eat some good ice cream and play my mini the edge.

peace out yo

What a Nice Weekend

I went down to Honey this weekend. I know that I was just there for like a month and she was just at my house... but it was nice to see her. We hung out on Friday and did some errands. Honey made a kick ass dinner while I took a kick ass nap. I was in such a deep sleep that when she called me for dinner I didn't even hear her. Man I love good naps.

The next day was nice and we went to lunch with Patrick and April and then did some other errands and got coffee and went home. Honey made another awesome dinner then we went to see Jamie Cullum at the 9:30 Club, in DC. We haven't been there in a really long time and it was nice to be back there. There was an almost incident where we almost got into a kick ass, drag out, balls kicking, fight with this dude and his girlfriend. She was a rude, nasty, bitch from hell. She butted herself right in front of us and tried to get her boyfriend was like, 10 feet tall to stand with her. We were all like I don't Fucking think so. It was really more Honey who was doing the talking bc she was standing next to him. I knew she had things under control, but when we talked about the incident in the car we all wanted the guy to start up with us, bc we all really and truly wanted to kick that guys ass. He knew that we could totally take him too. Other than the almost violence that almost happened. It was a really great show.

The opening act was alright. Her name is Brandi Carlisse (spelling). She had a large twang to her voice, which I don't like. But she was good for what it was. Her first song was good. Then she ended with Hallelujah and I came to the conclusion that song is special and should only be sung by a man. Unless you are KT Tunstall of course, she can do whatever she wants.

Then Jamie came out and he was incredible. What a great show. I was really surprised how the crowd just went crazy for him. At one point he got the whole place to jump up and down for like 5 min. and it was amazing. He's an amazing piano player and he can freakin play guitar and drums. it was a great show. I know I keep saying that but it really, really was. The funny thing was I saw his guitar player and I lean over to Honey and say something like, "I totally want that guy." Then a bit later in the show Jamie is introducing his band and he says, "U2 has the Edge and we have Sam." I was like OMG... it's perfect!!! He really does look kinda like a young Edge.

So after the show, I went downstairs and tried to get a setlist or a pick or a drum stick or something and there was nothing. Then we all found out if you buy a CD you can meet Jamie and the band. But it was only for single ppl. you can't bring a friend. And you can't use the excuse that I tried for Honey, that she already bought the cd that same day. What ever, we decided to move the car and wait outside for them.

We waited and met Brandi. Then we moved down to Jamie's bus and then I met a girl who pretty much is the DC me. It was freaky, she stalks in the same way I do. No shame... it's the key to all things. Bc you know what, I am never going to meet these ppl. again and on the off chance that I do, they are NEVER going to remember me. If Matty Nay doesn't really remember me, no one will. Even Dave said he remembered me, who knows if he's telling the truth. Anyhoo, ya this girl was totally my twin. She even says the same things I do. It was really funny.

So, as we are about to go meet the awesome drummer of Jamie's Band, I see that Jamie is coming outside. So we quickly change the plans and I see Sam coming and he's talking to some ppl. I look at Honey and we are both, "Yes! He is hot up close!!!" I wait for him to be finished with the people he was talking to and I just blurt out, "I have a crush on you!!!" And he was smiling and sort of laughing and said "that's sweet, thank you." Then I took a picture with him and asked him if he had a pick on him and he did and he gave it to me. I know it's no guitar... but it'll do. Which by the way, Robyn I CAN NOT BELEIVE MAGNET GAVE YOU HIS GUITAR!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!! I wish I would have been there!!! I totally would have cried. It makes me so happy!!!

Anyway, then Sam met Honey and kissed her on the cheek and I was like OMG, that's not fair and then he gave me a kiss also... a pity kiss. whatever... at least it's a kiss. then we met Jamie and that was cool. I totally had to lean down to take the picture with him, which was funny. but he really is very, very charming. A whew bit randy, but very charming and he totally knows it. Honey took a pic with him first and it was really funny bc he tried to find a piece of sidewalk that was a bit higher so he could be taller then Honey, he tried to do this in a subtle way. But as soon as we got in the car we were all like did you notice that... it was funny. I just told him that it was an incredible show and he almost made me cry. And Honey was like, you made me cry. It was such a good show.

Back to Sam. So the fact that he totally looks like the Edge is amazing and he really is an amazing musician, he plays everything. The guitar, the trumpet, the shaker things, the piano, the triangle thing. He's so talented. Honey and I looked him up on the internet and he has a myspace page and I totally made a page so I can e-mail him. Almost as soon as I got home, I did that. then I e-mailed him and said I am actually a very articulate person and this is what should have come out of my mouth instead of what I said. I told him how amazing he is. Then a half hour later, he wrote back to me. He's awesome!!! and British... not Irish... we can't all be perfect.

So when we got home we watched "Just Friends" over all is was just an ok movie. But there were 3 things that made me laugh so hard that I was crying hysterically and I wa going crazy it was just too too funny. OMG really funny, every time I think about it I get close to hysterics. I'M MAKING GINGERBREAD COOKIES!!!! The outtakes were really funny. so funny. Thanks April for making us watch that. it was really funny. Man Alive

ok, so the next show is Matty Nay and I am going with a friend of a friend. I don't really know her, but she loves the Shnay and it should be fun. I can't believe I am seeing him without Honey, it's odd. But it can't be helped. I have to remember to tell him about the ellipse and about my love for Edge and find out who he loves the most. Also, I have to remember to wish him a happy belated birthday.

That's all for know. Oh I also finally downloaded I-Tunes, I know that I don't have an ipod, it's just a really good way to organize my music. I welcome myself to the 21st century with a myspace page and i-tunes. GO ME!!!

Oh - Also referring back to Honey's blog about where the hell are those second albums. I totally agree with the sentiment and want to tell all you artist who don't read my blog... Where are those albums?!?! I am getting impatient!!
Especially from Damien Rice and The Killers. I want my MTV... I mean my second album.

Also, regarding the Arctic Monkeys... boys I know you want ppl. to think that you don't care, but if you don't care for long enough no one else will either. You want longevity, then you have to care. Otherwise your going to wake up one day realize your back where you don't want to be with a huge bear belly and 10 kids screaming "WHERE'S MY DINNER DADDY?!?" There's nothing wrong with being grateful and thankful. I'm just saying.

One last thing this past Entertainment weekly was really funny. I have been getting this mag. for like 10 years I think and I am a loyal reader. But this past issue was all about TV. The article from Stephen King titled "Confessions of a TV slut" was really good. So if you have a chance check that out on the website or pick up the issue in your stores now.

Peace out everyone - Edge rules all things and my prayers go out to him and his family and everyone in U2 at this time. I know it's a long time coming but I haven't written a blog since the hoopla.

Let's Go On Tour

This week has been really fun. Let's start it off with Honey coming up to see me and then seeing Magnet aka Even Johanson and Stars at Webster Hall. That was a really great show. I hung out for a bit by myself waiting for Honey bc the L was not working. Then we met up with Robyn and her friends for dinner and had such a good time. I found free parking and that is something that makes me happy. Honey and I left about 10 minutes b4 everyone else did bc we had to pick up the tickets at the will call window and then we got a premo spot right in front of the stage. Everyone met us there and we saw Magnet b4 the show. But we didn't say anything to him, bc he looked really busy. Then the show finally started and Magnet went on. I was really upset for him bc I think he ended his set early. There were so many ppl. talking all through the show and I was getting really upset. I felt like he had shown us a piece of his heart and all those ppl. just squeezed it with their rudeness. He put on such a great show and he is so talanted. After his set we called him over and Honey gave him a letter and Robyn said nothing. We really weren't sure if we were going to meet him after.

Then Stars went on and I thought they were kinda weird but really, really fun. They put on a really great show and Honey and I were really thrown by them. Damn those Canadians. After the show we were waiting outside in the freezing cold watching all the drunk ppl. on line and making fun of them. Honey and I did investigating and there was no tour bus or any clue that there was a band there at all. Then as all our hope was gone someone called, "hey there's magnet." Honey and I dashed over not even aware if we knocked anyone over. Honey actually started to cry. I was in shock. Magnet was really listening though to everything Honey was saying and I really think he understood that Honey was a superfan. Then we took pictures with him and Honey got her cd cover signed. We talked to him for a few minutes. Then he saw Robyn who was almost hiding from him and he gave her a really big hug. And he was having this really down to earth conversation with her and it was so awesome. You could see in his eyes that he really cares for her and that was really cool to see.

Everyone left after that except for me and Honey we wanted to meet Stars. We were the only ppl. waiting for them. It was getting quite cold out at this point but we knew that we have been through worse for ppl. we really love so it was going to be worth it and it was. I really think that they were almost touched that we had been waiting for them. I got a set list and everyone signed it and then we took pictures with everyone. We talked to the drummer Pat McGee and he was really nice and we talked about being on tour. He was just so cool. Bc I was saying that it must be so much fun to go on tour. He was honest and he said that it is fun but sometimes you just want to go home and hang out. He was so so smooshy!! They really were all so smooshy. They were just so so nice.


This just in... I was looking up Torquil Campbell, from Stars and he was in imdb and there he was and it said that he was in "sex and the city" and Law and Order: SVU. I asked honey if that was really him and she looked and was like "IT CAN'T BE!!!" And we looked on her SVU and it is HIM!!!! Torquil Campbell DID TV!!!!!!!! Unbelievable...

So the next day we went to visit my mom and Dylan and Dana came with, along with my grandmother. It was such a good visit. I think that my mom was so happy that her family was there. It really was a good day with her. She was in a good mood and was loving that we were all there. I was finally able to give my brother his holiday gifts. He loved them. It was a relief. I gave him "The Incredibles" Collectors Edition. He had that but not the collectors edition. Then I found a copy of this Bob Dylan show that my brother was at in '97 and that was his other gift and that he was so so happy about. It was such a relief that he loved it and couldn't believe that I found it.

The rest of the day Honey and I cooked for the week. That was nice and relaxing. We watched Grey's Anatomy and Honey liked it. hee hee. it really is a good show. Aside from the main characters. George is great and sandra oh and all the other ppl. On Monday we both got haircuts and then went to the city and hung out with Linda, her husband is Prince Eric. She was a lot of fun. She's a really nice girl.

Breaking News... TORQUIL CAMPBELL is AMAZING ON SVU!!!! There is def. MAN CRYING!!!!! Oh My Holy Torquil!!! He was really really good!!! The episode is called "Uncivilized." I wish we would have known about this b4 we met him and we could have told him that he was amazing!!!

Tuesday and Wednesday were normal I went to work while Honey hung out in my house and then we drove to Honey's house on thursday. Then we went to the COMPLETELY AWESOME Coldplay show. It was so so so good. That Johny Buckland is my yummy man. Will Champion was on fire and I think he was the star of the night. It was Chris Martin's Birthday so that was awesome that we got to see him on his special day. His voice was so clear and pure. Fiona Apple opened and she was really good. Even Honey admitted to liking it. We waited for them after the show and again we were the only one's and it was so sad. Bc we never got to meet them. I asked some Hot british dude that worked for them and he said they left right after the show and swore that they were on a plane to NY. It was sad. I really wanted to be in Johny's arms.

The Buble` was sooo great LIVE!!!! He's so so HOT!!! His voice was amazing. He was so funny and a big ham. He was great. There were so many great moments. He is just a great performer and he got everyone to run to the stage and go crazy for the last 5 songs!! He was so so great. There are just not enough words. After the show we waited for him and we were the hardcore fans that waited the longest and for what?!?!?! NOTHING!!!!! He never came out. or it was true that he had left right after the show and had to go back to the hotel. But it was so so frustating!!!! Both Honey and I had a dream about it after bc it was really upsetting. In both our dreams we go to meet him and probably got to meet him in a way that would have never happened. We really were the very last fans to leave. Everyone else were QUITTERS!!!!

It's just been really nice and relaxing talking to Honey about music for like 14 days straight. Watching a lot of TV and videos of all our favorite bands. There is nothing like it.
Sunday was such a nice day. We drove up to Annapolis and it was a really easy drive and it's so beautiful up there. It's right on the water and it's just so nice. Except for the birds!!! We spent the day walking around and go into different stores and going to Starbucks. Smelling good food and walked near the water and watched ppl. go by. It was just such a nice, nice day. Then we went to the venue and they weren't letting ppl. in yet so we waited outside bc I wanted to watch the bus and see if KT was gonna come out of it. Honey thought that she was already inside. And I just had a vibe. Low and behold the
door of the bus opened and there she was or so we thought. At closer inspection it was her and there was no moment of hesitation and I went over to her. Honey was trailing behind me, freakin hiding from her. As soon as KT saw me coming she was so open and turned to me. Honey and I were like two little school girls, squeeling and telling her how much we love her and our favorite songs. I don't know if she really understood us bc we were talking so fast and squeeking. Her manager took a pic of us and she signed our cd's. She's amazing and I love her!!! The show was amazing!! Her voice was amazing and she is so the chick rocker and she wasn't annoying. I love her. After the show we tried to meet her again, but it didn't happen. But I did score (for both of us) 2 setlists and 2 PICKS!!! I wanna be KT Tunstall, I wanna be me too, so maybe I want her accent and her voice and her guitar playing... oohh and that cute sparkly blue dress. Argh... I love her!!!!

I want to also send a big shout out to Honey and tell you that I had a great time these past 2 weeks. Good stuff with Tony Almeida in Jacks arms. I hope that actually happens. I can't wait to see Jamie Cullum. WOOHOO!!!

I love EDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH... Got my Mattnay tix for April at Joes Pub in the city.

I'm Rick James Bitch.
