i have a headache, this will be short.

i'd like to write about how AWESOME my awesome weekend was and how awesomely awesome my awesome friends are (and how freakin' awesome it was to finally meet helen jane - awww yeah) and all that other awesome stuff but i have a very decidedly NOT AWESOME headache right now which is making brain function quite difficult at the moment. soooo not awesome. ugh. instead, feast your eyes on some loverly photo reenactments:

kenneth's bow tie is apparently good for licking.
the hotness.
stuff on my aubs (cleavage).
more photos of shenanagins and escapades here (willo) and here (aubs). and crazy video of us acting like jackasses. as per usual.

uh huh, awesome.

photo taken by dan wolf.
yes, that is david cross. yes, i ambushed him and made him take a photo with us. no, i am not ashamed. w00t!

read my recap of last night's noise pop kick off party on thinking about foxes - i'm off for another dose (double dose even!) of rocking out. ta ta!

procrastinating blogging, about procrastinating.

um, omg i can't believe i forgot to blog about procrastinator's new years eve 2007! OMGEEEEEEE.

misty has been throwing this fabulous bash for the past 17 years. yep, so she totally started it when she was in preschool. it was all so innocent back then - chocolate milk and PBJs. now it's more like champagne and PBRs. heh.

everyone knows that new years eve is for amateurs. we prefer to celebrate a month and a half late - makes for less B&Ters and even if those show up, we know them. last year was my first PNYE and when i heard that misty came up with this brilliant idea it was as if i'd been waiting for it all my life. genius.

over the years the party has evolved into a costume theme - changing every year, mixin' it up. last year was "white trash fairy tale" (the year before that was "80's prom - touch of class") - and this year was...wait for it, wait for it..."be your own superhero/evil villain"!!! people went all out and i gotta say it, once again san francisco knows how to costume party it up. where else in the world do people actually have COSTUME BOXES?!?

mine came in handy (with some recent additions from my old halloween costume box that my mom conveniently mailed to me post-christmas) because i had no costume prior to 5:37 pm on the day of the party. a two minute conversation with misty earlier in the day prompted me to head to ye olde costume box and see what i had to work with....blue wig? blue go-go girl vinyl minidress? sparkly microphone? guitar pick earrings (okay, those weren't in my costume box, i wear those in real life too) ahhh yes, i would be ONE HIT WONDER WOMAN!!! no one knows what she looks like anyway! and blue wig = instant awesome costume. it's a rule.

facing off with the denim on denim bandit (aka stein).
evil villain vodka tonic!
the rest of the results can be viewed here. and here. and here. aaaaand here. the party was awesome - the people were awesome. it was by far one of the best...if not THE BEST...party i have ever been too. and when i said PBRs i wasn't kidding...nothing is classier than a superhero costume, a *wanderphone*, and a PBR. see?


hahaha.

thanks to misty (and ted, providing the rawktacular soundtrack of the evening) for keeping this party alive and rockin'. can't wait to see what next year will bring! awww yeah PNYE 2008 - on the MOON?!? perhaps.

speak. easy.

last night buzz invited a group of us to bourbon & branch a "speakeasy" here in sf that i've been wanting to check out for some time now...if only because it was secrety and i love secrets...

the night was funtastical - good friends, good conversation, loverly fancy schmancy drinks with awesome names like "the dempsey" and "sand & blood" (their menu is unbelievable! and it's drinks only, no food, no peanuts, no goldfish - just drinks. they mean business) - super fun for a rainy tuesday night in the city. it's so quiet and intimate that it almost felt like we were just hanging out at someone's house - a house that has pricey, yummy drinks and a bartender. ;)

courtney was there too, and stopped by our table to say hiiiii! so fun. we felt like we were on a sitcom or something. heh. san francisco is small.

misty was just at b&b last week too - see her account of the experience here.

i would def go back despite the high roller prices - the drinks are very very tasty and you're paying for the experience as well. i think it'd be interesting for a date night - soooooo, uh, anyone wanna take me?!? hee hee.

HIJK on the internets.

my boys HIJK (the rockers formerly known as hijack the disco) are the featured indie rock download on garageband.com tomorrow (1/13)! w00t w00t! you can follow this link to listen to "smells like cigarettes" and download it FOR FREEEEEEEEEEEEE (hi, lele!) - no way? yes way! zomg, so awesome. yay!

this is one of my favourite HIJK songs - the one that i always thought was called "someone call taylor" - for like a year, until i was enlightened as to the true track title. hee hee. it's from the forthcoming full length the pen & the letter (as to when exactly the forth is coming, we have yet to find out), and from the two or three tracks trevor played for us at thanksgiving it is tiiiiight and awesome and exactly what i knew these boys were capable of.

so go forth and listen and download and make sure you catch these gentlemen live - their next show is at the uptown in oakland on 1/19 and they'll be at the makeout room in SF on 1/30. come, witness the magic, won't you?

champs.

best. new year's eve. ever. once my brain starts functioning halfway decently again, i shall post details...
