Hello, my name is exhausted
I have just completed day 4 of the 9 day stretch from hell. (We're down a reporter so I worked the weekend shift plus my regular one).
While I think this is endurance, it's nothing on the woman I interviewed yesterday. She's circumnavigating the lower 48 states in a kayak and on a bicycle. She's also one of the nicest and most candid interview subjects I've ever met. http://www.renatachlumska.com/
Last week I hit up two concerts...IN THE SAME NIGHT. I haven't done that shit since college. Let me tell you, going from Avalon or Axis over to the Middle East or T.T.'s--way easier than driving from UMD-College Park (where boyfriend and friends from work saw Ben Folds) to D.C. to catch Rhett Miller at the Black Cat. I didn't think we were going to pull it off until Gilly, being the kind person she is, informed me that Rhett wasn't going onstage until 10:30. We got to the Black Cat about 30 seconds before he started. Ben Fold was way better with the Five. He's still amusing as far as stage banter goes, and he sounds good, I just don't like his solo stuff as much. Rhett was awesome, although he had a backup singer who wasn't quite hitting some notes. But none of that mattered when Rhett sang "Question" in English and in French again. It was great.
Gushfest over.
I love The Sopranos. If you saw last week's episode and you know my dad, you'll get this. Remember when Tony started punching out the new guy for getting something out of the fridge to make a point that he wasn't weak? Andy would totally do something like that. That's the way he fucks people up. Except, my dad would not vomit afterward. Seriously, my dad (Rainman) seems like the most harmless guy, a little confused but smart, a little gruff but always entertaining. But fuck him over or hurt a member of the family and he will fuck you up.
Does anyone know if there are lines in Vegas on who's going to get whacked in The Sopranos? I'd like to put some money on Carmella and Christopher.
