Summertime (And the Living's Easy)

sorry i haven't blogged in a while, i've been at the beach (twin lakes to be exact)//work just started. ADIOS SEATTLE.



are you sick of weeds/nancy botwin being a dumbass? if yes start watching NURSE JACKIE. she sleeps with the pharmacist to get vicodin and percocet, saves lives and still has time for her husband and daughters. beats housewife selling weed and fucking up everything.

out with ahmedinejad, in with sanity

maybe bruno can bring some laughs in the midst of recession/revolution?

green spaces are dope. wouldn't it be cool if there were gardens on office buildings and solar panels on everything? vertical vegetation, urban farms and green roofs are the future!

for the first time ever, i'm actually going to san jose music in the park. third eye blind is playing tonight :/ i'm no big fan of theirs but i think the tubes and some other bands are playing this summer. plus, who can ridicule free entertainment during a recession?

River - Akron/Family

you're a jerk (I KNOW DUH)

so i guess i found this on a facebook post. but the LA times thinks that it will be this summer's jam, FINALLY replacing lady gaga and kid cudi. it's like the new soulja boy only way catchier and more fun to dance to.

Dead Disco - Metric

i don't know why but i can't stop listening to metric this morning, post-you're a jerk



david carradine is dead and all i could think about was kill bill (maybe i'll watch it this weekend?). anyways, at first they thought it was suicide, but now some think that he was engaging in auto-erotic asphyxiation where one cuts off oxygen to the brain to heighten climax. he also had a rope around his gentials. this story is befuddling my mind//why in thailand?

Dirt (featuring Aesop Rock) - tobacco

forgot that i still like this song. tobacco + aesop rock are a great combination.



the nudist lobby is on its way to wasington to lobby the government for more protections for nudist sunbathers and skinny dippers. freedom of speech, freedom to not wear anything. it's only natural i suppose.

Celebrities

people at st francis are becoming so famous

paris' new best friend?



heidi and spencer pray? he'd vote for rod blagojevich? patty really thinks her husband is innocent? these crazies make janice dickinson look normal. and maybe i have a new show to watch when i'm bored this summer.

There's A Reason For Everything (Especially Regarding Blogging During Study Time)

that should be me behind those books. two finals on thursday and a paper due next week. but blogging is way too entertaining.



i went to the pike street fair on saturday. 75 degrees out and chilling with friends. plus living with a prayer was on in the background so me and becka were able to sing.



photos, compliments of ashlee



baked goods



cool sunglasses kelly



this clip is too funny. sasha baron cohen is hilarious and eminem needs to get that stick out of his ass, it was a joke and homophobia isn't cool.

Theres A Reason - AA Bondy

isaac introduced me to this guy and lately i've been listening to this song non-stop. i'll admit his music is a bit slow for my usual tastes, but he's a genius.

Vent about Tents

there's WAY TOO MUCH of a brouhaha over tent city 3 being held on the uw campus. crime statistically doesn't go up with tent cities and plus there's hella homeless in the udistrict already, it's not like we're not already exposed to these people. where else are they supposed to stay? uw isn't a homeless shelter, but if the city and state won't do anything to at least alleviate the problem then uw should. it'll help the school's karma considering all the budget cuts.



fearmonger much?

and by the way, graffiti isn't caused by homelessness, just silly bored teens

"i'd feel so awkward and like unsafe LOL"... gimme a break people



aside from my own rants, ra ra riot was fun to see on the hub lawn today although it did get a little boring so i left to take a nap. at least it was free.



apparently susan boyle has gone into hiding. she cant take the press and said fuck in public. she just wants to be herself and sing!

Horn Of Orcs - Basshunter

OH and i'm going to probably see basshunter next weekend if i have the money. last saturday of the year :(

wishing, waiting, sitting in the 8

i hate vegetable sandwiches. i just ate one at the 8 in mcmahon and it was to most disgusting thing in my life. i like veggies, but no artichokes. they make me wanna choke.



vancouver looks beautiful, but alas, i can't go for mike's birthday today. brokeassness + finals are prohibiting me from finally using my passport here.



there's sun in seattle? what? but i can't enjoy it. no. i have finals and only two weeks left in this great place. sad sad sad.



obama is the dopest, smoking cigs and wearing cool panama hats

i don't understand why people are so opposed to gay marriage. and it sucks that prop 8 got upheld in court, but things are changing and people are becoming less ignorant (or at least hopefully they are). spread love, not h8.
