I need a weekend from the weekend...

Aargh. Very good weekend, very busy and now it's only Monday and I'm exhausted and ready for the weekend again...

So, Friday I joined Husband and Wife at Ben's for dinner. He went ALL out, my god he's a great cook. His girlfriend is very lucky! It ended up being a pretty late night, not too much drinking, just enough;) I ended up playing guitar in front of people for the first time ever, though I'd have been better if I'd had some music with me instead of relying on my slightly hazy/alchohol infused brain for stuff I've got memorized. It was fun though and not nearly as scary as I'd expected. It was also determined that we know K-Fed better than each other...long story.

Saturday I spent the first part of the day working on a review for Revolt and then I had to head up to MSU to work on a group project. I drove two hours to meet for 30 minutes. I was not a happy camper about that, especially since I'll just end up doing all the work and the presentation myself. Grr. However, Saturday was redeemed when Elana called and wanted to go out. We went and hung out at Cafe Felix drinking overpriced martinis and noshing on brie as we peoplewatched. We scored a great sidewalk table, it was gorgeous out and just a lot of fun.

However, I think the martinis were just a little bit stronger than I thought, either that or the combined two nights of drinking/getting to sleep late etc. caught up with me because I was definitely a bit hungover yesterday. No rest for me though...had brunch with Husband and Wife and had to work on reviews and the project for my class. Ugh.

The fun news is that I've scored an interview with The Distance for a feature on Revolt. I'm reviewing their album which comes out tomorrow and I have to say, I really like it (hmm, is that ok to say??) I've also got four albums coming my way from Static to deal with. I hope I can keep up with it all! With each review I write I'm definitely feeling more and more confident, so that's good. I'm SO glad I got hooked up with Revolt! I really like what I'm getting to do (and the fact that I get a byline too!)
I hope the week goes fast...

I'm glad you enjoyed dinner! And to be perfectly honest- Jessica is probably a better cook than me- I'm just in charge of the grill. :)

I definitely had a good time- glad you were able to come! I'm glad you played for us - you're definitely doing well - keep it up! Have you ever played any other instruments? I had 10 years of piano and 3 of clarinet to help me with learning the guitar.

Congrats on the interview! How awesome! How many other people get to say that they've interviewed bands that show up on the iTunes Music Store?? Just a handful. Just a handful. Lookout world! Sasha's gonna kick your ass!
