me: yeah, like 1980's classic

go 'stros!

SBW wanted Astros earrings. they came out really cool. don't even ask for a pair of your own. they were a beeyoch to make!

aaonvimeo: it's so hard to explain how we're friends

aaonvimeo: so i told carl's parents that we're going to stay with you

aaonvimeo: and his dad was pretty weary

islebehere: lol

aaonvimeo: Until I was like, well if it makes you feel any better, HM thinks WE'RE going to be the weird, scary ones

aaonvimeo: And all of the sudden, he was relieved

islebehere: HAHAAA!

aaonvimeo: like, oh, so they're not bad afterall

conversations

Addie: what are you doing tonite?

me: i have to find something to wear to the shower tomorrow. i'm making S1 go to the mall with me. i hate going to the mall.

Addie: yeah, i know... cuz you don't like your weight right now and feel uncomfortable trying on clothes.

me: uhm.. no, actually. it's cuz i just really hate the mall, but thanks for getting my low self esteem back in check, Dr. Addie!

Addie: free of charge!

we were both cracking up for the next 20 minutes, just thinking about that over and over again.

for you... you know who you are

definition: watching a movie with the karaoke machine your niece left at your house.

Woz came over last weekend and we finally watched watched Across the Universe. not bad. not bad at all. great soundtrack. Evan Rachel Wood.. her voice.. when she did "If I Fell"... like buttah!

anyways, HM had the idea that we amp it up a bit... with the karaoke machine and 2 mic’s! totally worth it! it takes it to a whole new level. i don’t think i can ever go back to watching a musical-ish type movie without the mic’s again.

next up: Purple Rain fo sho!

bonus clip

not my other favorite song... that one was pretty ghey anyway. this one's definitely got some kick to it and i totally remember us trying to get those dance steps down!




p.s. check out Finola Hughes at 1:05, pre General Hospital days, in her movie debut.

what the hell was wrong with us??

THE APPLE

S1 and i watched this movie over and over and over on HBO.

full trailer:


we also watched alot of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. were we normal children of the 80's? did every 80's child like super cheezy musical movies?? i have to know!

here's a clip of one my fave songs from the movie:

barcycle 2008

i know it was last month. whatever.

this is a video of the annual Barcycle ride on the island. basically, a pub crawl for St. Patrick's Day. good times! i had a blast with SBW & Durty and i got to hang out with some peeps i haven't seen in a while.
