Hello LJ dearests!  Life has been pretty awesome since my move but even more so in the last week or so.  Don't get me wrong, it has also been stressful and tough but the goodness currently is waaaaaaaaaaaay overshadowing all of that.  I am a believer even more now than ever in the power of amazing things coming from the not-so-great.  But I digress, that is not what this post is for. I'm just oozing happiness so I had to inflict a little on y'all.

I'm partly writing to ask a favor (yes yes, I know, all I do is ask ask ask!).  Anyone out there on Tmobile and have an extra phone they are not using?  Before you donate it to the soldiers please consider giving it to little ole me.  I broke my phone in July and have been using an uber-crappy phone while I decide what one to buy.  I seriously considered the new G1 Google phone but since buying it means a two year contract, I have decided to skip that.  (Thank you to my sage cell phone advisor, Jonathan, for counseling me on this subject.)  I only have six months left in my contract and then I am free for iphone madness.  Can anyone help a lady out?  In six months I will return it to you safe and sound. Grazie mille.

Also, I saw Jamie Lidell on Friday at the Showbox.  While I have always had a crush I am now utterly in love.  It was so freakin amazing/fabulous/bootshakin/awesome!  Please take my word for it and go buy his last two cds.  While you are doing that, pick up Janelle Monae.  She opened for him and I was pretty impressed.  That lady is wild!!

Lastly, I was just told that Gmail finally answered my prayers with Mail Goggles.  This could have prevented more than a little stupidity in my life...why, oh why doesn't it work for text messaging?!

Please watch this hilarious video that is everything wrong with crazy environmentalists.  (I tried to embed the video but I gots not skills)

Today is the last day to sign up for Grist's amazing Bumbershoot contest!  Remember, if you win you get 2 Gold Passes.  This gets you the following:

• admission to the exclusive hospitality lounge
  
• official poster
  
• three drink coupons
  
• special access to reserved seating at the Mainstage AKA no waiting in the big ass line to get into Memorial Stadium

I know, the official poster really sells it, doesn't it?  Don't forget, if you sign up and win then yours truly will win a gold pass as well.  We can see if those three drink coupons can really get five...together.

Please sign up here: be a winner.

Holy shit!  It has been two months since I have last posted...and probably at least a month since I have looked at LJ.  What is happening LJ?  We are growing apart!!!  Honestly, it is the summer.  I LOVE THE SUMMER.  Swimming, sailing and drinking cold drinks outside for happy hour keep my far, far away from my computer*.  Did I mention I like drinking in the sun?  Well, yeah, I do.

Also, I really heart my new job which actually has me paying attention to it during the day.  I know, crazy.  It rocks and is making me a million times happier and generally nicer to be around - ask Amie.  Speaking of that, you have to help me win a competition at work LJ peeps!  Right now we are having a contest to see how many people we can get to sign up for our Grist List weekly mailing.  The person who gets the most wins TWO VIP PASSES to Bumbershoot for the entire weekend.  Help a lady out friends!  This would possibly be one of the most awesomest things ever for moi.

But wait, there's more!  If you sign up for said email then you get entered in for two VIP Bumbershoot passes as well.  So, you see, we all might win!  Okay, enough of the selling.  Please go here to sign up.  If you have multiple email addresses feel free to use them all.  If you really want to get out of control then feel free to repost my ridiculous plea.  Go wild. :)  

Me love you long time.


*Except for looking at apartment listing.  Please, please, someone find me a cheap apartment on the hill that takes dogs!

I am all about Babelgum lately.  

Anyone want a free pass to the movie 88 Minutes for tonight?  I have other plans so I can't use it.

7pm at Pacific Place.


Lemme know!

Daylight Savings Time w/ MC Lyte on FunnyOrDie.com

Barack Obama has ringtones you can download for you phone.....they are hilarious. I think my favorite is number 11.



Like I told Amie yesterday, how can I not vote for a man that has the Fugees listed as one of his musical interests on his FLICKR account?

I guess everyone has been sending this around. Me too!

You have got to watch the 30 Rock Christmas episode.  It is hilarious.

We must, must, must......see this movie: http://www.runfatboyrunmovie.com/

I am excited for it even though I am going to be working like a crazy woman for the next three months.

Basically I just want to be able to sit in the park, on my ass, and watch something.

I am still at work.  Damn.

My insurance finally started approving my claims and are now paying my medical bills!!!  It only took about five months.

Finally I can stop worrying about these bills and harassing my insurance twice a week!!!!!!!!!

Ryan and I watched game two last night (so sorry poor Cavs) at his friends house so I missed the Sopranos series finale.  Like a big nerd I woke up early this morning and watched it.

People we gotta talk.  What did you think?





Don't read the comments unless you want spoilers!!!

Whew....is it already almost the weekend?

I have learned a week can both exhausting and exciting at the exact same time.

God damn. The Sopranos is so crazy right now.




How the hell are they going to finish it all this weekend??

I saw Anthony Hopkins last night. He is very short.

The Scot I met at the SIFF Opening Gala called me yesterday. I am such a cliche that I can't help but think his accent is sexy.
