"We're Only Starcrossed Cause They Say We Are..."

So, I know this isn't exactly what this space is for, but I don't really care.

I would like to fully endorse the new (and debut!) album out by Okay Thursday called Fun In Flats. Seriously, go to the Abbey Lounge in Somerville, MA any Tuesday in the month of August and pick it up. Stay to see them live as well. If you're not near that location, go to www.okaythursday.com for all the details on how to order/song clips.
(or www.myspace.com/okaythursday )


Also, super kudos to the boys in the band Harris, who headlined the first OKTh night at the Abbey. They have a killer new video for their song "Carousel" and I'm pretty sure everyone should check it out and listen/watch. You'll love it. www.harriscore.com or www.myspace.com/harris

Wow. Shameless plugging. That's a bit low, huh?

I am so smitten with OKTh (and Harris) that I actually drove 2hrs in the nasty heat to see this show, only to drive 2hrs back home after it was over. That's love and dedication right there. There had been a bit of crap going on today and the jangle pop/awesome indie combo made it all go away. I will say though, that I am pretty terrified of lightning and there was a lot of it from the heat on the ride home. I think I almost cried at one point. I guess it's a good thing it was 1:30am and no one else was really on the road. Also, the temp change as I entered Maine was insane. It clearly dropped a good chunk of degrees. This was lovely.

I have to say, tomorrow's going to be a tough day. I do not deal with heat well and will more than likely grow horns or something evil. I'm hoping Miranda will have a fun post about movie choices for dates simply so that I don't have to do anything but lounge in a pool or in an air conditioned room doing diddly squat after work. If not, we'll whip something special up for Thursday.

We also have a slight "shout out/edit" to give. Miranda and I decided on the phone today that Tip #1 does not apply to people with the screen name "diggity" or "Tony". We're just throwing it out there, and quite frankly are sick of hearing "can't touch the midsection!". If it's hot and we don't want you to, you are people we will inform of this fact. Don't you worry.

Now for Tip #11: Wow. I actually just fell asleep with my laptop on my, um, lap. Okay, this one may seem a little far fetched, but I'm just going to put this one out there and you can take it if you want (basically because this just happened). After 7mos of not speaking to someone, for whatever reasons or none at all, don't follow up "so what have you been up to?" with "so how about you just take a full on boob picture and send it over?" It's not going to work. As I told this person, "If I've been denying you these photos for over a year, what makes you think it's going to happen now?" Magic powers would help, but what a waste of magic powers.

Have a good night, porkchops. On a serious note, stay cool and drink plenty of water.
