To Clear Up Any Confusion...

This tripped me up for a long time. I would hear people talk about Sasha Kaun and in my mind's eye picture an ice princess. (Un?)fortunately that's not a problem anymore.

Andrew Bird at Wakarusa!

I went to www.AndrewBird.net to see if he would be playing any shows in Europe at the time that I will be there this summer. It turns out that he will be playing in Belgium about three weeks before I will get there. (Maybe Todd could go) But then I noticed that Andrew Bird is scheduled to play at the Wakarusa Music Festival right here in Lawrence! How exciting! But I won't be able to go because I'll be in Europe. I find the situation a bit ironic. Someday I will see him live. Mark my words.

I strongly recommend that anyone who can go, do so. Especially you, Myrinda. You could wear that crappy Wakarusa t-shirt you won as a consolation prize. The one with the alien smoking a cigarette. It would be perfect.

Bite Me, SweeTart

Allow me to start this post by saying, "Happy Valentine's Day, one and all."

Ok, so H-less and I were walking back to Malott after a rollicking game of ping pong. I was enjoying some Valentine's edition SweeTarts. You know, the ones with stupid little messages written on them. I thought I would be silly and inquire the candy, "Tell me SweeTart, is there any hope for me?" Expecting the candy to say something like "Yes" or "You're Cute" or maybe just "Love Ya," I reached into the bag. What did I draw, but a SweeTart that said "Lonely" on it. What the crap?!? Who's bright idea was it to print the word "lonley" on a Valentine's Day candy? We had a good laugh. A little later I decided to give the SweeTarts a chance to redeem themselves. This time the candy said "Hug Me." Lonely and desparate. Happy VD indeed.
