jealousy rides with me
I haven't listened to the new Built To Spill yet, despite several people informing me that it is awesome. Normally I'd be first in line to pick it up, but since it is becoming gift-giving season I want to save my money for such things. However, we are going to go see them next week so I should probably start downloading some MP3s, even though "it's not the same, mannnn." I will purchase it eventually, for certain.

I will not purchase this.

I have been having incredibly weird dreams the past few nights.  Normally I have a dream I remember once a week or so, but I've had weird dreams the past three nights.

Last night/this morning, I had a dream that I was going to see The Mars Volta at some club, and I went in and for some reason I went back outside.  Later I went back inside and I showed the guy at the door my bar stamp on my wrist, but he said it was worn off and didn't look like the bar stamp, so he wouldn't let me in.  Then I showed him my ticket stub and took it and ripped it up, so I yelled at him.

The night before, I had a dream that I went to Missoula on a Summer vacation, which I used to do often, except in my dream I took an airplane there.  While I was there, I went to a pay laundromat.  Later I flew back home and realized I left my clothes at the laundromat in Missoula, and I tried to think of a way to get my clothes back.

The night before that, I had a dream I was a cast member on Saturday Night Live, and it was time for me to go up for my sketch, but I wasn't in my costume yet, but I went up there anyway and tried to improvise why I was wearing regular clothes.

A couple weeks ago I had a dream I was at work, and I decided to take a break.  I went to the cold drink aisle and looked around, and grabbed a Coors Light (which I NEVER drink!).  I went and paid for it, and started walking back to the breakroom.  As I was walking I cracked open the can and took a few sips.  Then I realized... I can't drink beer at work!  What the hell am I doing?  I'm going to get fired!  The rest of the dream was me trying to sneak around the store and hide my beercan so no one would see what I did.  I went to the bathroom and kept waiting for the people inside to leave so I could dump out the can and throw it away without anyone noticing.

I'm LOLing my ass off at http://www.xkcd.com/ today.

Apparently an homage to GeoCities, which is shutting down today.

jealousy rides with me
Argh... I found an article about HDTVs on msnbc.com with inaccurate information, and I wanted to post a comment about how dumb they are... but I can't do that unless I register with newsvine.com!  So I tried to do that, and it won't work!  I can't register on their dumb site... every time I try it tells me that the link I followed expired.  I even tried enabling cookies for newsvine.com and that didn't work either!  So now I want to write about stupid their website is (it probably requires a bunch of third-party cookies to be set, and I'm not going to let it do that) but I can't get on there to do it!

Have websites that work without a bunch of stupid bullshiz in them!  Write well-researched, factual articles!!!

Getting to see Sunny Day Real Estate twice the past two nights was incredible. Getting to see them bust out "Spade and Parade" was unbelievable. And, of course, it was with the most wonderful company ever.

Being so excited to see SDRE that I left my lights on and was stuck in Tacoma for an hour and half after the show was not so great... but it was part of the experience.

We were getting ready for the SDRE show on Thursday and listening to some tunes, and Lauren just cried while listening to "Sometimes." She's officially ready for the show now.

For those of you who live in Seattle and supported the 20-cent bag tax, I know things look bad now.

Seattle
Referendum 1 - Bag Tax

Aug 18, 2009 - 20:27:03
49% of vote counted

Approve
26,866 votes

Reject
37,362 votes

I know "Reject" is the winner... but don't lose hope!  Remember this is a primary election, and this is a top-two primary system now.  "Reject" and "Approve" BOTH won and advance to the fall election... beating out such challengers as:

Hmm... I guess
9,869 votes

Dunno
3,141 votes

Wait... I don't get it
1,772 votes

Sounds good, except, you know, sometimes I forget my cloth bag, so maybe have it so if I forget I don't have to pay anything, as long as I promise to remember next time
295 votes

Of course THE MEDIA doesn't want you to know about that, so they don't report it.

I'm freaking out!

Sunny Day is announcing tour dates for 2010, playing a fricking festival in Australia. Which means this tour isn't a one-off thing.

Also...

Sub Pop records (who released Diary, LP2, and HIFTBSO, as well as Return of the Frog Queen) is among the first labels to sign on with Rock Band Network. According to Sub Pop Head of A&R Tony Kiewel, when asked by GameInformer about which artists were getting the Rock Band treatment first:

"We're releasing all the Sunny Day Real Estate records, and those are big guitar, bass, and drum songs for the most part that are pretty epic and I think would be fun to play."

I was freaking about being able to play "Seven" on GH5, now all three Sub Pop albums???

I'm seeing them in a month!!
