recap.
halloween - since willo, misty, & hez all wrote fantastic accounts of our saturday night debauchery, i won't waste any space here...and since a picture is worth a thousand words, you'll have no problem seeing how KICK ASS my halloweenie was - i mean, it was TOTALLY AWESOME!!! (see below. duh.)
shows - went to jackopierce with w. a few weeks ago (i can't believe i haven't blogged about music since then! wtf?!?) & it was really cool - their harmonies are crazy-good & it was also my first time at the swedish american hall, which is quite a change of pace from my usual rawk show outing (um, no beers! i had coffee instead, totally felt like an AA meeting. or what i imagine an AA meeting would be like!) they're the kind of band that i would've been super into in high school - and i commented to willo that it's funny how you can still be nuts over music you liked back then, that if it came out now, you'd be 'eh' about!
halloween night was the rescheduled pretty girls make graves show - tons of people dressed up, but willo & i were so worn out from saturday that we couldn't bring ourselves to put our costumes on again! one dude was dressed as the hamburgler!!! awesome! that was my favorite. PGMG were kick ass - but i'm still missing the second guitarist. they have a keyboardist now, and it's just not the same. and i'd like to publicly announce my hatred of moshing. it is stupid! people, please don't mosh. it's not 1994. we are not in seattle. okay?!? and dudes, you shouldn't push and/or step on small, innocent show-goers who are defenseless to your crazy moshing obsession. thankyouverymuch.
last thursday was metric and OH MY GOD i am totally in love with emily haines. i want to be her for halloween. she is awesomely weird and beautiful and her voice is soooo fantastic and she wore a really cute white eyelet dress that i totally want now and i have a big ole girl crush on her. such an awesome show. canadians rule. ha.
saturday night was my indie rock luv object mr. john vanderslice - his royal sliceness, if you will. i so heart = him. but in a platonic manner. i don't want to make out or anything. he's just so cool! and i love his music!!! and he was really nice to me when i met him in cleveland a year and a half ago w/ s.lynn! yay. he played a nice mix of old & new stuff and sounded great. but i think i liked the cleveland show better for some reason. maybe it's because you'll never forget your first time. right?!? hee hee.
tonight is feist/broken social scene - should be interesting!!!
let's see, what else? - hmmm, well other than working & going to shows, i have no life. :)

So, I'm having this issue tonight:
While I was growing up, I feel as though I led a rather restricted social life due to parents that valued education over fun times at the "mall" or other local venue for teens. I believe that this restriction was placed so that I could grow up, go to college, be successful, get a better job, etc. Then, I was told, I would have time to do the socializing I so craved. As a youngin', I could see value in this opinion from my elders and begrudgingly sacrificed that poolparty/sleepover/kegger/whatever so that I could strive for and achieve said goals. So now, having grown up slightly, having attended a fairly decent school, and attaining said job...check, check, check, check...wait a sec...
Ok, when the hell am I supposed to do the fun things I had to miss out on back in the day? My partying endurance is nilch, I'm exhausted with a capital E when I get home from work, and I wouldn't even know where to go if I were up for it! At what point does free time come to me? Where are the lackadaisical days of lounging? Is this just my crazy, ambiguously Asian, gotta-work-to-the-bone, all-work-and-no-fun genetic ways? wtf is up with my prioritization?
My point is, and I knew I'd get to it eventually, I envy your show-going ways, my Alidear. You have a crazy endurance, know how important it is to have a good time, and you make it a priority without obsessing over things that don't matter. I love that about you and I think you have the most opposite of a non-wonderful life (double negative there, see?). I could learn a whole bunch from ya. :)
wow, all this and I feel like I have nothing to blog about?
Congrats! You've found yourself on fannypackattack!
{and don't give me any of that "it's a hip bag" crap. It's a fanny pack and you know it!}

Hey girl, L.
I just wrote out a 10 year plan with Miguel... long story short, it gets us to 'the good part' towards the end of a brutalizingly hard working, many hours, no vacationing ten years.
Needless to say when I did the way simple math... My beloved M will be a not so beloved, aged 40.
40!
So, when you ask when the time for the change within our own priorities to enjoy life and ourselves.. I shrugg and say, "go ask Ali"... And I"ll check, but I don't think I have time for it in my ten yr plan....F@*K!
