Power out.
I know of you are out and about camping, building fires, chasing wild things, eating trail mix and all that good stuff, but I am going to post. Plus will give you a little something to come home to. AW.
So disappointment after disappointment (don't worry there is a light at the end.)
1. Couldn't go see Fast and the Furious with most of you, parents wouldn't allow it. I shouldn't have told them I had to work at four in the morning. Which brings me to:
2. I didn't get ANY sleep, why bother if I had to wake up around 3:45? I couldn't get random things out of my head like how good this is:

and this skit, which I am always singing in my head:

I'm not complaining, but it doesn't help if I am trying to get at least one hour of sleep.
3. I'm glad I got a good night sleep because I had to work two hours later than I was supposed to. So my four hour shift, which later turned to a six hour shift, finally became a full eight hours. I was kind of tired.
BONUS I- Finally took a nap. Woke up thinking about franklin gothic and Hammock (???!)
BONUS II- Got my hair cut, and had a conversation with the ladies working about thug names, her friends husbands name is Tykie (you know, like the dog food, some sweet wild life artist, and diaper brand..TYTE!) and it is written on his back, even better.
4. Tried to download another version of Illustrator, I failed, so I couldn't make a cool tee shirt design.
5. Worked some more, I slept this time.
BONUS III went on a bike ride today.
6. Worked on some homework.
7. Oh yes! I had originally planned to go to san jose on wednesday, but now I am not going, but will be going in a few weeks instead. So now that I do not need to take that time off of work, I could have gone camping with all of you! Bummer...
But, it is alright now, I admit, I was going a little crazy earlier, but I am gooood because I came across a nice surprise tonight, or this morning.
BONUS IV First it was food network challenge (cakes!) then they started a new episode with Miley Cyrus (my personal favorite.) As much as I wanted to watch her and her speech impediment, luckily, I cam across KPBS.
SURPRISE: I got to watch arcade fire perform!!!
If I was to be in any band, and if I played an instrument, I would be in the arcade fire, and I would play the violin, the viola, or somehow the Hurdy gurdy, just because it looks cool. They look like they have so much fun dancing on stage together, jumping, playing, and shouting into megaphones.
All for making the arcade fire 2? I can play washboard, shake an egg, make it rain, and play some guitar. I'm pretty sure these are useful skills.
I look forward to seeing pictures!

1) I mentioned the genius of Funny Games on the drive out to the desert. We have the same brain, child, it's ridiculous.
2) Natalie Portman's rap never gets old. "Shut the fuck up and suck my dick!" So priceless.
3) I'm so happy you got to see Arcade Fire perform as your life changes when that happens. Mine did anyway. I'm all for making Arcade Fire 2, and also we should still make a CocoRosie 2. It'll be EPIC.
4) It's really too bad that you didn't go. We almost died a lot; actually, Jeff and I decided that if one of us died, the other would have to as well so you could get really great scholarships. So my odds were much higher than the rest. However, we all lived and I'm sure those boys took thousands of pictures so you can live the experience. THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT TIME!
