Yay!

I know, I know. I haven't posted in forever...sorry.

I lucked out with a wonderful, fabulous snow day yesterday! I desperately wanted just one before winter break and was rather amazed that I got my wish. It was great...I slept till 11:30, watched a movie, read a bit, finished decorating the Christmas tree, ate Christmas cookies, had dinner with Jon and went to trivia at Conor's. Not a bad day at all:)

The other fun thing about yesterday was that my latest review and a bunch of my photos went up at Revolt. See them here.

I'm especially proud because this time Sherri used one of my photos for Revolt's mock cover and I even got my name on the cover too! Yay!

I've got at least one show confirmed coming up, the Streetlight Manifesto show at the Magic Stick. I've got two shows in the works too, The Audition (this Thursday) and The Hard Lessons (Dec 26 at The Blind Pig). I hope those work out!

I'm so glad there are only three more days of school...they honestly can't go fast enough, but I don't think this will be a terribly taxing week. I figure that Thursday and Friday the kids will be so nuts anyways that I'm not even going to try and teach. I'll let them watch "A Christmas Carol" instead (Dickens, so it's sort of literary...)

Yay, it's almost Christmas!

Lyrics

I haven't posted lyrics in a long time. I was at the Bayside show last night (still sorting all the photos) and this song caught my attention. For some reason, I really like the lyrics.


"Landing Feet First"

If our world falls down tomorrow
You be sure I'll be there with a net
To catch the pieces falling
And I was always there
And I was always there
I was always there but you just
never knew where

Ay oh, ay oh, I hope you weren't waiting long
I hope this night makes up for time lost
Ay oh, ay oh, feels like I met you years ago
And we're picking up right where we left off

I've considered what I'd be like
if the ocean poured in
From both of the coasts
And we set sail to find out
Just where our boat would go

But I don't think that I'd want to know
Cuz it would just make time
So I could see your smile
With our brand new life in tow

Ay oh, ay oh, I hope you weren't waiting long
I hope this night makes up for time lost
Ay oh, ay oh, feels like I met you years ago
And we're picking up right where we left off
Right where we left off

And if I'm on the road
For another thousand years or so
I hope you know a part of me is at home
And I traded brick for straw
in the house I built around my heart
So when you came it wouldn't be so tough
No "huff and puff" could dismantle us
No "huff and puff" could dismantle us

Ay oh, ay oh, I hope you weren't waiting long
I hope this night makes up for time lost
Ay oh, ay oh, feels like I met you years ago
And we're picking up right where we left off
Right where we left off

Weekend do-over?

Can I have a do-over please? This weekend was weird. It had some good bits, and some bad ones. Yet, here I am on Sunday night and have kinda of a bad (i cringe to write this) vibe about the weekend. I hope it is paranoia. I hope it is hormones. I hope it is the shitty weather. I just woke up this morning full of all sorts of anxiety and I'm not totally sure why. I've felt "off" since late Friday night (long story) but I haven't been able to fully shake it yet.

I'm not sure what's up. Bad, bad dreams last night. The kind where you wake up crying. Not fun.

So, for as relaxing as my long weekend was supposed to be, I find myself getting ready to go back to work more anxious than I was before break.

I want a do-over.
