After three days in the ground

[katernater]

So Todd and I have balcony seats for Ryan Adams on the 24th of October. It was funny. I only heard about the concert yesterday (Todd had set his phone alarm way back in May to remind himself, but he forgot about it/his phone exploded/his alarm was shunted by one that reminded him to watch Mythbusters) because a co-worker of mine, who's also a fan, practically attacked me when I walked in the front door in the morning. He'd heard about it the day before -- the Tuesday I was sick -- and wanted to know if I was down.

Verily, I was.

Presale started at ten o'clock this morning and my co-worker and I kept refreshing our browsers every five seconds until the online buying console went live. We used a super secret government password (provided by a super secret government source) that we had to screw around with case sensitivity to get to work. FINALLY, after what seemed like a Clancy-esque series of failed attempts, we scored four tickets. I don't know if we're necessarily carpooling down there together (Co-Worker has a fiancee he's taking) but it might be worth it if we can score overnight accommodations (Co-Worker's fiancee has the domestic hook-up) because the concert'll let out late and yeah, getting home at three in the morning only to wake up at 6:30 for work. Voted Most Likely To Thhbbbt.

'Got the new Dave Matthews when I was at Starbucks today. Live albums just have a certain somethin'-somethin' to them, don't you think?

Still thinking about graduate school. Still thinking about getting up early on Tuesday to get the House DVDs before work. Still thinking about picnics, pre-emptive strikes against puffery, fornication, flight school, new nail polish, Darwinism, nihilism, botulism, television, extridation, sleeve biting, up-all-nighting.

And, of course, two pieces of warm toast with a little peanut butter.

<3! Friday. Blessed, blessed Friday, yes?

And drinks tonight! And Indianapolis tomorrow!

Productivity FTW!

Excellent! Excellent! And good music, too!

Are there plans for what to drink tonight? <3

It's Todd's sister's 21st birthday, so we're taking her out for rounds. I'm not sure what I'm going to have to drink. Maybe Blue Moon. Guinness is definitely an option.

Guinness is love. Love, I say. And it's so sweet of you, taking her out like that. Of course, someone has to make sure she gets home in one piece. Ah, 21st birthdays.

Mmm..Blue Moon. Now I'm tempted.

Oh, I'm just sampling tonight. It's important for every young woman to get the most out of her 21st birthday, you know. In fact, I've had three twenty-first birthday celebrations, just so I could get the most-of-the-most.

I never really had one, come to think of it. The cosmo following a day of working in the coal mine we call retail was well deserved, but I never had the full treatment. I definitely agree it's important for her to be out and about, experiencing as much as she can. Got to do it while you're young - and it's even more fun when it's legal to do so.

Three? Do tell!

Oh, and what albums do you have as far as John Williams recordings go?

[katernater.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe one felt like three. But I sure as punch did a hell of a lot of celebrating.

John Williams? God. Let me think. I'll have to scroll through my iPod to be sure:

Okay. I have:

Greatest Hits 1969-1999 (2 discs)
Jaws
Jurassic Park
The Lost World
The Witches Of Eastwick

Wow. That's all I have. Huh. That's all I have.

SNICK!

As well you should have, dear. As effing well you should have. What did you do? I mean, of course you went to the bars, but can I be nosy and ask for specifics?

And, how would you like a whole lotta John Williams? We're talking a looooooooot. Would Little Lisa be happy?
