That sounds great! I haven't had Mexican food in so long. Anything else exciting going on the rest of today or tomorrow?

I'm good thanks, but a bit tired. I'm been studying all day and feel like I could sleep for about 12 hours now. I'm gonna make the cheesecake tomorrow Just need to make sure I wake up early so I can go to the gym and sort a load of stuff out first. I've got Monday off of work too which will be nice.

Lucky you having a three day weekend! Is Monday a holiday in England? I need an extra day off too.

Nothing else going on today, I'm just hanging out with my family, watching TV and playing board games. I loooove board games. And trivia games, and card games. I'm kind of a dork like that. But tomorrow my nieces and nephew are spending the day at my house! I'm so excited. Since they will be moving away once their parents sell their house, we want to spend as much time as possible with the kids while we still can. I don't want them to be 1400 miles away.

You're going to post a picture of this amazing cheesecake, right? I'm sure it will incredible!

Nah, I just had one more day of holiday I had to use by the end of March, and then the holiday year resets, and I have 25 days (awwwww yeah) of holiday to use.

You're totally not a dork! Board games are so much fun, as are trivia and card games. What's your favourite?
1400 miles is an awfully long way. Why are they moving so far away?

I'll take a picture once it's done but I don't know how long it will be until that means I can upload it. I might try texting it to my email like someone suggested before.

Ooh, and the Australian Pink Floyd Show was last night. It was more incredible than I could have possibly imagined

You get five weeks of holiday time a year?! Most people in the U.S. only get a week or two, anything more is unusual. And I don't get any! Man, you are a lucky ducky.

Right now, my favorite board game is Parcheesi. My mom and I play it all the time. In fact, I'm going to go play it in just a minute.

My cousin's family is moving because her husband was let go from the Navy and there isn't any work around here. He applied all over the country and got an offer in Texas, so he had to take it. He's moving in a couple of weeks, but my cousin and the kids are sticking around until the house is situated. Their house is a dump in a bad area, so I don't think they will have much luck. At least that will give my family more time with the kids. They have an awful home life, so they need as much attention from us as possible while they are still here. It's really, really sad.

Oh, I saw your post about the Australian Pink Floyd show. I'm so glad you had fun! I have been listening to Wish You Were Here a lot lately, especially while I've been writing. It's good music for writing poetry, at least for me. Was everybody stoned out of their mind at the show?

Okay, I'm off to play Parcheesi. Talk to you later! Happy baking tomorrow, Mike!

Yeah, my work are really generous with that. Maybe they realise accountants get stressed and need as much time off as possible

Ah, we have that as Ludo over here (I think. They look very similar.) I loved that game as a kid. My favourite is Rummikub, but I'm not allowed to play that with my family because they hate that I always win, and my friends have told me I'm like Rain Man when playing that.

Oh wow. That's a massive move. It is really sad in situations like that

It was so incredible that with eyes shut you could quite easily have imagined it to be Pink Floyd. That good!
Hahah, I don't think so, and I had to drive so couldn't really have anything. Maybe next time if they ever come back

Have fun, Shannon. Bye!

I AM AT A CONCERT AND I AM NOT USED TO AUDIENCES WITH NO TATTOOS AND STUFF.

Why do that to yourself?!

So, how is everyone doing?

Didn't want to stay home but I am now bored out of my mind, SAD.

Is it a local band?

Not bad, Jimmy. How are you?

Sore throat is starting to go away finally. But yeah, I am okay I guess.

Excellent. Are you back at work yet?

Camus wrote:

Yeah! There's two bands, this one is killing me but the other one should be good. WHY CAN'T I FAKE BEING AMUSED ahaha

This is the sort of situation where if you drank you wouldn't care at all, haha

This is the sort of situation that makes me wish I was as drunk as lindsay lohan on nye.

No, don't ever wish for that. That's (/she's) not a pleasant sort of drunk at all.

Yeah maybe you're right

Yeah, Since Wednesday...I have a 237 dollar paycheck waiting for me on thursday...Hello Futurma DVD set, as well as some jeans....I am finally fitting into a 34 pants since dropping 15 lbs.

Sounds like things are turning around for you, Jimmy. Keep it up.

took a long time, but yeah, it did. Oddly enough...When things go good for me, the opposite happens to a girl I am friends with.

Can you leave to do other stuff and come back in when the band you want to see comes on? I get anxiety when I'm bored so if I know I won't like a band, I go to a show late sometimes. Or start taking photos.

If all else fails, just post here. Surely we'll keep you entertained til they come on.



I downloaded that Ray LaMontagne song. It has become today's anthem. At least someone else is publicly acknowledging how NYC can be a friggin' pain in the ass. But, when it's good, it's the best city ever. Just... not today.

Yeah, When I do the open Mic nights, I have stepped outside from time to time depending on what is being currently performed. Some use it for Smoke breaks, some just for air, I just use it for when I just need a little quiet time and getting ready for my set.

aw yeah I was with friends and didn't want to end up alone in the crowd so I stayed there, thank god the second band was good, the singer was absolutely insane!

and just a quick reminder, if you ever doubted I only attract psychopaths: some guy tried to talk to me today by saying I looked very "english" (i swear to god, I am still trying to figure what he meant), I proceeded to ignore him and then he started talking about my boobs. WHAT AN AMAZING NIGHT
