+ I finally got around to trying the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks.  And OMG.  Heaven.
+ I watched the guided tour of Mac OS X Leopard yesterday.  And subsequently needed to wipe the drool off my keyboard.  I pretty much do that with anything Apple/Mac related anymore.  You should've seen me when I was downtown last week at the Apple Store on N. ( Read more... )

If you've seen them live or seen/heard a recording of Hanson performing 'Hey' live, you probably know that they like to get some crowd interaction going in that song.  And I said...*BOOM BOOM*...and the crowd is supposed to yell 'HEY!" as loud as they can.  And they repeat this, several times, even after Taylor gets done making sure everybody's got ( Read more... )

Hidey-ho, neighbors!

The lovely Allison and Jenny arrived late last night, and right now they're downtown at the House of Blues, probably either listening to the end of the opening band's set, unless it's already done.  Hanson probably won't go on until after 9PM, even if they were miraculously not late to start the show (HAHAHA! Right.).

Even though ( Read more... )

Come On In:  So some of you have probably already heard at least a little bit about this, because I think it's been posted about in several places, but recently, one of the radio stations here in Chicago did a fun thing.  For most of August, Q101 was playing 'Great Divide', telling people it was a mystery artist that they'd reveal at the end of the ( Read more... )

It's April 18th, and it's 44 degrees outside  (that's 7 degrees Celsius).  And I have a cold, complete with chills and that nasty whole-body-ache feeling.  And my nose/sinuses hate me, because the right side of my nose won't stay decongested for more than maybe 20 minutes, and the left side keeps running, and the left side of my throat is that ( Read more... )

So since I got my hands on Hanson's new album The Walk, it's basically all I've listened to.  I am completely in love with this album.  For me, it's the best album they've done yet.  Better than Underneath and EONS better than TTA (I really can't stand that album anymore, LOL).  Their musicianship has grown and I'm really impressed with how much ( Read more... )

BECAUSE SOMETIMES LOWER CASE JUST DOESN'T CUT IT.

1.  IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE, UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE, IF YOU'D SEND ME MY DAMN PACKAGE FROM BEST BUY ALREADY.  MY ADDRESS IS CORRECT, SO UNDELIVERABLE AS ADDRESSED, MY ASS.

2.  AHHHHH PRESENT WRAPPING

Take the first sentence of the first entry of each month this year. Thus, you have your year in review.

January:  Meme created by Kit and Lily - Twelve Reasons Why I'm Weird.  :-D

February:  Best picture of the month, totally deserving of the title 'A Face Only A Mother Could Love'

March:  The Thursday before this past one, I saw ( Read more... )

'Great Divide' is up on the US iTunes today.  I bought it, and I even got my parents set up with iTunes accounts so they can buy it, too, haha.

Just ordered the shirt, as well, and made a post about the song, the video and the shirt on both MySpace and on Facebook, in case it might convince anybody else to buy the song and maybe even the shirt.

And ( Read more... )
