no sleep

we're running on zero sleep these days. i'm not sleeping because the unborn child pushing down on my utero is causing me to wake up every 5 minutes! and HM's not getting any sleep cuz our mattress is so squeaky, he hears me every time i get up. that, or one of us is snoring keeping the other one up.

so here are some things that are going on:

in office news: i think it's really sweet that every morning my boss asks me how i'm feeling. and he actually waits for me to answer. like he's really interested.

in other news: my arms look like the michelin man's. all fat and rolly. ew.

in better news: the frendz shower is this weekend. Addie and Woz are coming in tonite and they're setting everything up and cooking tomorrow. Woz is making a king cake. BA is making crawfish etouffee, shrimp etouffee and crawfish pie. Addie and Frisky are decorating. well, they're following Woz's orders on how/where to decorate. i'm so excited!! it's gonna be really cool.

in baby news: the dresser came in. i'll be picking that up today. everything is falling into place. his room is coming together nicely. i wish we could get a day bed for his room, tho. cuz if i know Mamalane (and i think i do), she won't care if there's a bed or not. the woman will sleep on the floor just to be near that baby! we'll see what the budget can handle. it may be just a queen blow up for a while.

in completely totally unrelated news: my internetz frendz got their own show on MTV! set your dvr's for the College Humor Show, Sunday nite, 8:30pm Central. MTV is touting it as a reality show but i assure you, it's all scripted. the New York Times even gave it a good read! Sam Reich, director of original content, came from Vimeo. a user with a comedy troupe of three, called Dutch West. since CH and Vimeo are in the same offices, he got noticed. and now look what he's doing. how cool is that? these guys are really funny! you should check it out.

10SQ Halloween Special

loonychic part 2-electric boogaloo

so last nite i went to meet Loonachic at her hotel. i'm still alive. she wasn't a traveling serial killer or anything. she's a pretty cool chick. i gave her the lowdown on the NYC meet up and she clued me in on the Chicago meet up. we had similiar thoughts on the meet up's as a whole.

i took her to a hometown landmark, Mission Burrito. YUM! a while back there was a little project going on where vimeo users would "eat something for Buck". Buck Flashroy lives in London and well, his food sucks. so, he wanted everyone to show him what we were eating everywhere else. Loona and i decided to eat a burrito for Buck. she put together a video of our burrito adventure.

Loony-chic

tonite i'm going to meet another vimeo bud, Loonachic. she's in town on business, from Chicago. i'm gonna show her all Mission Burrito has to offer!

i suck, i know

there's been no "weekend update/recap" for the last three weekends, i know. not that there hasn't been anything going on. there has. cool and exciting things. there was a weekend at the shack aka sunburn alley, a weekend in Vegas, and this weekend we grilled out. okay, that last one doesn't sound exciting, but it was really nice. i got to work on some video and HM & BA did garage stuff. i like when BA's around. he gets to be my little kitchen helper. =)

so anyways, here's some video from the weekend at the shack:

i'll put video of Vegas up, as soon as i get it all sorted out. oh, and also video of me and S1 doing some ad-lib karaoke, road-trip style. yeah, be afraid.

how cool would this be????

OMG! just got word in the "cool kids vimeo klub" (there are only six of us and two are staff). they're planning a super meet up in June. details to come.

maaan, that would be SOOOOO cool.
