Today I listened to a FreshAir podcast that interviewed DaveGrohl of the FooFighters. They talked a lot about FooFighters stuff, and then they talked about Nirvana, and played SmellsLikeTeenSpirit and another Nirvana song. I was immediately transported to junior high, and the days of Nirvana, NineInchNails, Soundgarden, PearlJam etc, when kids wore the grungy band shirts and plaid flannel shirts and Vans. I still remember what all the band shirts looked it.

Some of my friends think I'm kind of weird, because when I hear a song the first thing I do is place it into context of what grade I was in, and what stage of my life I was in.

Anyways, I listened to DaveGrohl, and Nirvana, and it made me a little sad. Because I'm reminded of KurtCobain, and reminded of GalenReid and that spring of 8th grade, and that makes me sad.

Dumbledore is gay!

So what?

I just don't see the big deal that his great love was a dude. He's still kindly, powerful, wise, manipulative Dumbledore. Just a little more tragic- how sad is it that he was betrayed by his great love, and never found love again.

Here's BestWeekEver's take... HILARIOUS. (best part- Voldemort: I Knew It!)

Some pics from Vegas...


Hanging out in the airport...


Goofing off at the Venetian.


Olivia, Me, Ahan, Al and Caesar. We're friends.


Before a night of fun at Tao.


Having some fun with Ahan and Olive.

All in all, good times. I love my friends.

Notes and musings...

Went to Vegas last weekend. It was CRAZY. I haven't been since I was a kid, and I was very impressed by how ostentatious and outlandish it was. It was a fun weekend with my girls, that involved a lot of food, drinks, dancing and laughing. Pictures to come.

Lately my life has consisted of TV, internet, gym, and a bit of class thrown in here and there. Something needs to change.

Speaking of TV... favorite new shows:
PrivatePractice- not as good as Greys in its heyday, but I love the actors in it. And I'm really hating the characters in Greys, so this is a good replacement.
Life- my new favorite show. Crime drama, with interesting characters and interesting dialogue.
Chuck- geekiness is funny.

My mom brought this big salami back from Germany. It's delicious. She also brought back delicious delicious chocolate, which I am trying to horde.

I bought shiny flats last weekend. I'm debating on whether my love for them is enough to warrant brownish-red patent flats. Do I own enough stuff to wear with them? These are the pressing issues in my mind. Where's your sister when you need her???

I've played the Wii. And I am in love. I'm not a big video game person. Actually, the only video games in my life that I've enjoyed playing are Tetris and Dr.Mario. However, trying to play tennis, bowling, and doing the crazy motions in the crazy motion game- I want a Wii. Bad. Baaaaaad. I feel like my dad will love playing it. So maybe my parents will buy it? Maybe not. Seriously. SO FUN.

Album I've been meaning to buy but haven't gotten around to yet: InOurBedroomAftertheWar, by Stars. I've heard the one song off it, and I really love it.

I've been following FredThompson pretty carefully. No, I haven't suddenly starting agreeing with the guy who once told me "I don't know how you can be a Christian and vote Democrat." My buddy Byun has been following his campaign and reporting on him. Her articles and blogs are very well written and informative (check her out on abcnews politcalradar blog). So well written and informative that it's made me decide that I would definitely not vote for Thompson. Even if I was given a lobotomy and suddenly switched political affiliations. Although, I am thinking about changing my political affiliation to independent. Cause I'm pretty sure I don't really like either major party that much. As for who I'm supporting in the party I'm registered with, I'm leaning towards Edwards, Clinton or Obama. Maybe Kucinich. I have to be honest, none of the candidates, in any party, have really sold themselves to me. Am I too cynical? Too idealistic? Well, at least I have another YEAR to figure it out.

Are there any drive in theaters left? I want to go to the drive in!

Time for bed. Say goodnight Hannah. Goodnight Hannah.

Vegas baby. Vegas.

Making my first trip ever to Vegas tomorrow with my law school girls. Going to sit by the pool, imbibe some beverages, eat some good food and have a good time.

Can't freakin' wait!!!

My problem: I sleep too late.

I get sleepy at around 11:30 or 12. Awesome. Since I'm sleepy, I decide to wash up. Unfortunately, the whole washing face brushing teeth process invigorates me and I get a second win. So I'm not in bed till 2 or 2:30. And then I wake up at an embarassingly late hour.

I almost wish I was working again, and doing the whole asleep at midnight, awake at 7:45 thing.

Almost.
