DEAL WITH IT

A Progression

MUSIC

Last Monday I went to see Sunny Day Real Estate at the House of Blues. If you want to know how the show was google a review. I had a good time. SDR's set amazing. A band I never had heard of called "The Jealous Sound" opened and perhaps I am late to this party, but I think they are really good. It's always nice when opening bands are actually good.

Heres a "video" of audio of one of their songs. "Hope For Us"

Denali live video from their reunion last year "Gunner" Maura Davis is a babe.

Sometimes, Like Everytime

Love this song was unaware of a video existing for it...

Thanks for making me aware of this Toomey:

Put On Whatever Makes You Attractive

I bought this dress today at Forever 21 for $24.80 The fit is amazing. The knit fabric is much thicker compared to the summer 2k10 typical jersey cotton dress. This material is refreshing for Forever 21 because it feels like something that will not dissolve after 10 washes. The structure makes this dress a hit on most body types and it hugs where it should. Even on someone like myself who is 5'3 with awkward curves. Also something that surprised me was the length of the dress. Most F21 dresses are very short and require some sort of wind-tunnel-resulting-in-flashing insurance, but this one actually tastefully reaches the mid-thigh region. That is... unless you're a monster. The gold zipper is a nice touch as well!





UMMM




Love these cuties. This vid is old. But God Help the Girl led me to them. "I bet she doesn't even write her own lyrics." great video.



Years later one of the girls Asya sings by far my favorite song on "God Help the Girl" Unfortunately no video, just audio. "I don't want commitment, I don't want the drama. I just want your jeans, I just want your jeans." She's still pretty young too.

The Sky's On Fire Again

Best time of year in New England.




On my walk home from class last week I caught a scene from some Ben Affleck movie being filmed. This was a New England Patriots victory parade. The parade is en route through The Public Garden. The fans go across the bridge and over the pond the swan boats drift through. This would never really happen, but it was entertaining to watch. If I had put more effort into lurking I would have better photos to show. My bad.

"It's Hard For Me To Remember A Specific Cake"

So glad I finally found a good version of this scene from the hit movie "Matilda." I reference it a lot so I figured I'd show it.
Get ready to LOL "ENTIRE CONFECTION"

So Long Sweet Summer

Lot's of changes lately. Ended up on the West Coast.

Went to LA


Went to Vegas


Went to San Francisco


Moved to Audubon Circle


The street is full of alternate people. It's interesting. I don't mind. Makes me feel like I've returned to college, which is funny because I never left. And yet here I am with loud boys skate boarding on the street and I'm pretty sure my roommate and I are the only girls that live here. We might have the only working fireplace in Boston. For the first time since I've left my parents house I finally feel home again, it must be the high ceilings.


Sleep is scarce lately and I can't think right now. I promise to pick this thing back up once school starts. I hope to god we don't have an Indian Summer. I'm ready to wear my jackets. Will my hair have purple in it by December? Probably.

KEEP ON LIVING

Oh boy so when I was 16 at lunch one day my best friend Jackie Cooper was like "Hey Carrie I'm getting tattooed today want to come with me?" and I was like "Yeah can I get one too?" and she was like "I don't know probably!"

Oh to be sixteen again, of course we were young and angry at nothing. Probably angry that John Nolan left Taking Back Sunday or that Chris Carrabba turned Dashboard Confessional from a solo acoustic act into a band. It could have really been anything but dammit we wanted to get INKED.

Of course there were sincere reasons behind our tattoos and my storytelling is more for light hearted entertainment than anything...- In other words Plz don't h8 me JC.

SO afterschool I tell my dad I won't be home till later and luckily my mom was away on vacation with some friends.
COURSE WAS CLEAR. I used my savings from working at Chuck E Cheese to pay for it. I remember calling my sister and telling her I was getting one...she was in class when she received the message...she left class to call me to tell me that I better be kidding... in response I laughed and said "Ha, don't worry I'm not going to do it jk jk."

But I did and we did. And at the end of the day we could only be us... so now 5 years later look who fucking appears on my television screen, but AMY. On A & E's show called "Tattoo Highway" oh boy. From the few minutes I watched its basically about a tattoo shop on wheels that travels around the country to different clients. Oh that's cool.





Let's just say that I kept my tattoo by Amy hidden for 3 months until one day my shirt lifted up and my mom saw her worst nightmare...ink. Or as she likes to call it "graffiti." She went on a tirade to find the person who did this to me and seek revenge. Of course she failed and what happened, happened.

So thanks Amy nice to see that you've been crying on TV and that your lines still suck. Thanks for tattooing me and every other kid in the springfield area ages 15-17! I mean it's cool and all, but if anything it's mostly just funny.
