B is for Bob.

I vaguely remember Jesse telling me about this album. It's probably been around for a while, seeing that Noggin which has had time to turn into Nick Jr. again, made the video since it was still called Noggin. It's really cool, though; it's a reggae album that Ziggy Marley put together of Bob Marley's songs. He re-did them so that it's easier for kids to listen to.

He did another album like that called "Ziggy Marley's Family Time" which I knew about, because when it came out, Jesse and I bought it for Kristina, Bernie, and little baby Michael just after he was born. They have good taste in music, and I doubt they'd want to be listening to Raffie's "Baby Beluga" all the time. I believe "Family Time" has a lot of spoken word in it, I think Jamie Lee Curtis reads a story or something, and Jack Johnson does a few songs... it's cool.

So, anyway... Last night, Jesse and I were babysitting his 3 year old cousin, Alexandra. We were watching Noggin/Nick Jr./ whatever you want to call it, and a song from "B is for Bob" came on. Noggin/Nick Jr./ whatever made a music video for "Three Little Birds". It was probably the most adorable music video I have ever, ever, ever, ever seen. I couldn't help but smile. The Sun in the music video, is seriously the happiest Sun ever. It's adorable.

But my favorite part, is that Alexandra enjoyed listening to Bob Marley. Understanding that her dad is like... battling Elvis for the position of the King of Rock and Roll, it's exciting to get his little one listening to reggae music. She listens to a lot of pop music because of her daycare and stuff, but not reggae; her dad hates reggae. So, of course, after seeing that she enjoyed Bob's "Three Little Birds" we threw some Bobby McFerrin on YouTube and had the little one watch it, she liked that, too. Again, with Jack Johnson, and some Weezer. (We watched "Don't Worry, Be Happy", "Upside Down", and "Island in the Sun")

It was fun introducing Alex to new music. I'm never able to do it with my cousins because... I don't think they're allowed to even listen to music. So seeing that reggae music made her as happy as it made us was exciting.

Hawaii?

I miss my Hei Matau. Bret best be taking good care of it... Maybe it's in Hawaii right now. I'm certainly not... Lucky necklace. I am here, in New York, dogsitting Bosley for my neighbor. He's cute. He follows me around everywhere. I love it.

Going to 311 Day in March. :)

Booked the hotel a few weeks ago, and got the tickets on Saturday. All that's left is an airplane to get us to Vegas. Yeah, 311Day isn't in New Orleans (N'Orleans?) this time.. there was a poopy medical convention planned for that week, so 311 couldn't guarantee any hotels to be blocked out for their fans to stay in. It's a dumb situation, but! I get to go to Vegas, now! :D So, that line on my 101 in 1,001 must be changed from "Go to 311 Day in New Orleans" to "Go to 311 Day in Vegas" because my 1,001 days will be over by next 311 day. And and and: Moon and Dave are going tooooo! <3>

Bret told us he might be able to get us to meet the band on 311 day. It'd be sick.

Jesse, too, has a link to 311...

Are you ready for it?... Here it comes...

He is now proudly endorsed by DIAMOND AMPLIFIERS!

That's right. You know... 311's guitar player... that guy, Tim Mahoney. Welllll if you look at his INTENSE-ASS rig, you'll see that it features all things: DIAMOND AMPS. YES. Jesse and Tim Mahoney are now co-endorsees. THATS FUCKING RIGHT!

I'm so proud. Also- same day- somebody in the Netherlands made a fan page on their version of Myspace for Hazmat Bay. An endorsement AND an out-of-country fan page?! In one day?!@ FUCK YEAH.

Tomorrow night is the celebration of good things that happened this week. I love it! BTW, as of this morning, I'm mostly debt-free. (Aside from school loans) Good stuff.

Was invited to Hawaii or Puerto Rico on Tuesday. Ashley invited us to pick where we wanted to go, and we'd go this winter. BUT we're saving up for 311Day in Vegas so we can't go this winter. Re-scheduled for next winter. Boo-yeah. I lean towards Hawaii... even though we can't stay with Pepper... they sort of live in California now.

Much bullshit has been going on, on the Sublime battle.

In a nutshell:

Bud&Eric- let's play again! :D

Nowell family- no!

Silverback Mgmt- How the Hell did I get dragged into this?

Court order- no!

Bud&Eric- ohh man. D:

So there's like 100x more drama than mentioned above... but that's the jist of it.

That's it. Stony Brook is evil. REAL fucking difficult. Work sucks, but hey, it's money that will get us to Vegas, + Christmas shopping.

I'm done.

Godspeak.

So, my Aunt's in town... which means that Godspeak will be magnified significantly in my house... because first my aunt will be here for a week, then my grandmother for an additional week and a half. At one point, they'll overlap. Don't get me wrong, I love them... but I HATEHATEHATE Godspeak. It's irritating. I'm a student in scientific studies, so I'm not quick to assume or blindly put my faith to an old dude in white clothes (and I know this for a fact because that's what God looks like in Scribblenauts, and Scribblenauts=law). Also, because 9 times out of 10, they don't want to hear that I'm not interested or I disagree on these beliefs. They'll continue to shove it down my throat.

So the upcoming weeks will be fun! ESPECIALLY because I have a bajillion exams and papers due and not too much time to do them. It'll be great!

Next weekend's Michael's baptism and I can't wait to see the little munchkinhead! <3

Jesse's birthday was yesterday, so I bought him a Wii. But I gave it to him a few weeks ago, so that he'd have time to situate it before his birthday. :)

Other than that, nothing's really new.

Oh! Went to Jesse's aunt's bridal shower this morning/afternoon, and the party favor was REALLYFREAKINGCOOL: it was a glass-blown pen.

Entirely impractical for use in college life, but ITS SO FREAKING COOL LOOKING! Worth the impraticality~! (<-not a word, and I don't care!)

Only a little while longer before I leave PC for Mac. AND I CANT WAIT! <3

Surfing without homicide is always a good thing.

Jennifer's Body

Today, Jesse and I saw "Jennifer's Body" with Megan Fox.

And I really wish the writers had given the movie a different name. It is hella awkward telling people that I'm going to see "Jennifer's Body" or asking for tickets to see "Jennifer's Body".

Anywho, all in all it was a good movie. It wasn't scary at ALL, which is always a plus because I'm a puss. And it was kind of funny... but mostly interesting. It was about a high school cheerleader (Jennifer, duh.) who becomes a succubus and I fear if I say more I'll screw up the whole thing.

But it was cool. Looking back on it I like it more and more, but while I was watching it, I felt disappointed. I'd buy it on DVD, though. It was terribly entertaining.

...then I'll be telling people that I bought "Jennifer's Body" see how awkward that is for a girl to say?!

I'd give it a solid 7/10. It could've been better, more in depth... but I liked it!

If you go to see it expect weird, not scary. Because it is weird, not scary.

101

UPDATE.

#39. Don't bite my nails for two months.
I swear, it was difficult... but I did it. Not only for two months, but for two months straight. Then, after the 2 month mark, I quickly bit all of them off... and after 2 months of not doing it: it felt good... it felt real good. But now my fingers look like nubs again... oh well... it was worth it.

Started Stony Brook last week. Already had to drop 2 classes, one seemed like too much work, and the other was just an inconvieniance. :) Other than that, it's all good.
Went upstate last weekend for Labor Day. We went to Roscoe and hung out, and went over to Bethel to see the Woodstock Museum thing. It was alright, at most. Interesting to hear the history. The best part was having someone behind us in the movie viewing that was there and kind enough to share his first hand experiences with us. THAT was cool.

Brian and I are having issues. He stole shit, I'm angry, he needs to fix it, mom thinks he's awesome. He wants to eat dinner with us on my birthday, and quite frankly: I don't want to see him... So I'm going to write him a letter explicitly telling him how I feel and that it's bullshit that he always gets away with the shit that he pulls... PLUS, on top of stealing my skateboard and Jesse's: he took my Volcom hat from the Pepper show. HES DOING IT TO FUCK WITH ME. The little bastard.

Currently, Obama's inside my living room television talking to my mom about healthcare. I dropped in for a listen briefly, and thoroughly enjoyed what I heard. But, my mom was scoffing and calling him a liar, and being an asshole, so I had to come upstairs and not hear what the President in my livingroom had to say. :( I can only assume good things, because what I heard was all sorts of wonderful. I feel like I'm in the closet because I'm a fan of Obama and my mom and her boyfriend hatehatehate him. (They thought Palin was a genius... she didn't even have the commitment to keep her job as Governor.... puss.)

So, that's it for me for now. My birthday's on Friday. HOPEFULLY I'll get the DSLR I wanted, but I know I've got a snowman's chance in Hell.

...let's see what happens..

School...

I'm at school right now. I'm writing this from my iPod. I'm on break before my last class. So far classes here have been fun. This weekend I'm going with Jesse to Roscoe. Next week and the week after, I don't have to go to work! Yaay! Hopefully sometime next week I will be able to get my Macbook if my loan dispurses and gets to me quickly... That would make me really happy. I think
I'm done.. I don't have anyhting interesting to say. Peace
