"Hmm...this place looks familiar. I think I've been here before, but it was crowded. Wait...I was just here a few hours ago and I'm already awake!"

I need massive amounts of coffee! Two hours of sleep is just not enough. IT'S NOT ENOUGH!!! As soon as I drop the kids off at camp, I am getting the biggest, most caffeinated coffee Starbucks has to offer. Anyone want to keep me company?

If I lived in Virginia, I happily would! Sorry about the minimal sleep. Coffee is definitely my best friend this morning from lack of sleep. Too many feels going on all at once last night because of what's partaking in mere hours.

That would have been fun! Apparently everybody is at work (or camp in the case of the kids I nanny for!) except for me, so I was on my own for coffee. And after an iced venti mocha with three extra shots of espresso, I am wide awake! Caffeine all day!

I probably wouldn't have slept at all if I was going to see Gaslight tonight. I'm so excited for you! Please come back and tell us all about it when you get a chance. I hope you get to hear some new songs. I had to watch the Handwritten video again first thing this morning. It's just so good and I'm just so obsessed!

Has anybody else been getting emails saying that you have a new PM, but then nothing shows up? I have gotten like, nine emails this morning but no new PMs. What's up website, are you trying to drive me insane?!

Nope! That sounds extremely annoying and disappointing though.

It's a little irritating! I think the Internet hates me today. The feeling is mutual!

I need to watch Handwritten again and remind myself why the Internet is a good invention.

The heat index is 108 degrees and I'm eating chili for lunch. Will somebody please find my brain and return it to me, because I have clearly lost it! Thanks!

So... sweaty... I'm not getting any work done today. My director can deal with it.

...Shannon... why chili?

Holy fuck. That is UNBEARABLE.

I love chili, it sounded good, and then I started eating it and realized it is just making me hotter and more miserable. Blech. I should have just eaten a big glass of ice cubes for lunch!

It is!!! Everyone walks outside and starts sweating before they even get to their cars. The air feels swampy because it's so humid. I am going to die!!! #dramaqueen

Meanwhile, I haven't seen a single day without rain in my town so far this summer. Yay Sweden.

Essentially my September/October, living in a valley.

Sorry, they're a package deal around here. I'm praying for thunderstorms later!

Okay, then I'll pass!

In other news, I think I need to start thinking about moving out of this town. I think it's making me depressed.

I'm sorry you're depressed. If you have the opportunity to move, that's probably a good idea. Where are you thinking of moving to?

Anywhere! Probably Gothenburg, about 4 hours west from here. My cousins live nearby, it's the second biggest city in Sweden and I go there a lot for concerts and stuff anyway. Bruce always plays there when he's in Sweden.

I just need to be somewhere new and meet new people again. California changed me to the point where I just need a lot of social interaction and this ain't the place for that, haha.

That sounds like a great plan, and I've heard of that town from tour updates. It sounds like a cool place to be, and it would be nice to live near your cousins I bet! Do you miss CA, or just the social life you had there?

Yeah. He's actually playing there next week on friday and saturday. I'll be there on thursday for West Coast Riot where I'll see Rancid, Against Me! and a few other good bands so I'm gonna try as best as I can to get a ticket because it would be AMAZING. Never seen him before and I feel like I need to.

I really miss both. California has such a nice, chill atmosphere to it, but most of all I just miss being around friends all the time, you know?

Anyone order their bundle from Infinite Merch? I put in a tracking number with USPS and it's telling me they can't give my tracking info to me via the USPS website.

Hey everyone! Shannon, you're actually coherent?!

Just found out a little bit ago that I'll get to volunteer with some school age kids today. Pretty excited about that! Oh, and I might get paid to work on Friday! what what

Yep, I totally get what you mean. I hope that if you do move to Gothenburg it'll be the same kind of experience, lots of friends, mellow vibe, etc. That sounds pretty perfect to me!

I really hope you get to see Bruce! I haven't seen him yet either, but someday I will. His shows always sound SO amazing.

Same here. I think what people have said before is that tracking numbers are assigned early on before the item is ready to ship, so until it leaves the warehouse, the number isn't activated. That won't stop me from obsessively trying to track my shipment multiple times a day though!

So I have been looking and thinking. What slower/nigh time/relaxing records have come out this year. I was looking back on 2012 thus far and this has been the year of good ol' rock n roll for me. Menzingers, Apologies, Arkells, Empires, TGA, Japandroids, even Hit the Lights. All rocking it out x2. There was one debut EP from ex-The Graduate, the Sun and the Sea, that was calmer, great stuff..

Anyone have a suggestion? Something in the vein of Bon Iver, Bon Iver or even Elsie, Mansions. I'd even fancy some post rock stuff?

I have nothing in regards to tracking numbers I guess it will just show up when it shows up. Still, I can wait, the NPR thing will hold me over more than enough, the cd is burnt for the car, and the mp3 is on the mp3 player. Can't complain there.
