geared toward giggles

It seems like everyone has a friend in a band.  Some of these bands actually perform — a good number of my friends in bands do this.  Last night, Dani and I went to go support our friend Brett who was singing with his band Geared Towards Nowhere (GTN) at the Elbo Room.
Dani and I [...]

helpful tips, and not much else.

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Well.  Basically.  I’ve got a lot going on.  … I think I have about 3 drafts waiting to be finished and then posted…  And tomorrow you’ll get update on a concert…
But for now… here’s some tips from Libby, filmed before Christmas….

tis the season….

… for Girl Scout cookies!!
At one point in my life I donned the green uniform and peddled cookies upon the masses… made it up through junior scouts before quitting.
Regardless, I love me some cookies.  Especially at work.  We’ve got liquid nitrogen.  LN2 + Thin Mint = Awesome.
Hopefully 5 boxes (only 2 of which are Thin [...]

mind my mess

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

I’m going to be working on some php for the new layout, so I’ve activated it for the time being… Just makes it easier to troubleshoot.
So, this is just your warning about things looking different and the constant changes that are going to be happening here today.
As you can see, the formatting not quite right [...]

small musings: a brief weekend and liveblogging

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Most of my weekend I spent sleeping, lounging, or eating Indian food.
Seriously.  Two Indian buffets in two days.
However, last night, since our converter box won’t get ABC, the roommates sans Libby and I walked to the Land of Cana (it’s just down the alley a few buildings — oh, and happens to be the home [...]

band nerds are the hottest.

Friday, February 20th, 2009

So yet again this week, my Thursday night did not fail to deliver. My Thursday was filled with much win.
Last night I crammed myself into a relatively smallish venue and then proceeded to rock the night away with a bunch of kick ass nerds.  None other than Mucca Pazza.
It was a sold out show [...]

stumbling upon concerts unexpectantly

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

About a week and half ago, or something thereabouts, I stumbled upon a concert with Dani.  We were out with Neemer, celebrating her 24th birthday (which included some Indian/Pakistani foods and karaoke)… It was a grand time, very entertaining…
Angel texted us, numerous times, to get us to come out and go dancing with him and [...]

making progress

Monday, February 16th, 2009

So apparently consuming a fair bit of sugar and caffeine has helped get a lot done on my graduate admissions… I mean, I did indeed get my taxes done, as well as my FAFSA, as I’ve mentioned… but I’ve also managed to submit two applications as well — I just need to finish a few [...]

of taxes and updates

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Well. I did it. I filed all my government paperwork. Taxes: Federal and State, as well as my FAFSA.
Last year, my returns were pathetic.  I mean, it’s always nice not to owe anything.. and getting something back is better than getting nothing… (Though, I will say, I’m not getting anything back from [...]

of lit, writing, and comics: my thursday night

Friday, February 13th, 2009

Last night, Dani and I attended a Literary Feast for a Creative Writing MFA program we’re both interested in (though, I will say, I don’t think it’s my first pick even despite the school’s ranking).  It was an interesting event.  We missed the first reader — the poet… but got there in time for the [...]
