#sunchipschella. That pretty much sums up my AMAZEBALLS weekend (cringe, yo. That fucking word.) But for reals. I had such a great time seeing everyone. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see some great people this weekend. The weekend went by super fast and cell phone service was a bitch at times. I'll be sure to post some piktas. The campsite was phenom-nom-nomenal, the venue was gorgeous, the weather was fantastic. We camped it right. To our left were some underage pretty boys and on the other side of us was a group of people from south cali who offered up some help to andrew as well as to myself when I may or may not have had too much to drink on sunday. They also cooked up some delicious smelling foods. Best part of our campsite? Some people from Singapore left behind a BRAND new Swiss tent and offered it up to us. Looks like we're now officially set for Bonnaroo!! (SOOO--if ANYONE wants to camp with us and don't have a tent, WE HAVE YOU COVERED!) Top 5 Acts: -Florence + the Machine -Dre, Snoop & company (HOLY SHIT, amirite?!) -Pulp -Kasabian -St. Vincent - I particularly loved her badass stage dive toward the end. Though I love their music, I was mildly disappointed after seeing: -Gotye - I love how people bum rushed out of the venue after he played "THAT ONE SONG I KNOW" (Think, Pumped up Kicks, a la Foster the People at Sasquatch 2011) -Justice - Though they were GREAT, I was bummed not being able to hear On'n'On--also, wtf--they went on waaaay late. -M83 - Homeboy was clearly catering to the EDM fans and didn't play a lot of the adored songs, like as Andrew mentioned, no Kim and Jessie. People had a similar reaction to "Midnight City" like they did with Gotye and "Somebody that I Used to Know"--they all bested out of there afterward. Miike Snow - Nothing against Miike Snow. Seriously. They had a great set and tons of energy. I just happend to be behind EVERY gigantic man, no matter where I moved to in the crowd. I couldn't see for shit. And it didn't help they didn't have the screen on for them--they just showed creepy images of a heart beating. And I had a ton of fun on the final day and unfortunately missed several acts, including, but not limited to: -Santigold -Fanfarlo Y'all are some great people. I am so glad we arranged a meet up. It made my weekend that much more fantastic. I heart you all. #RealTalk

So my weekend was pretty awesome... After some pretty stellar negotiating skills, I totally scored three 8th row Noel Gallagher tickets for just $50 total (or $16.67 per ticket) - a savings of over $100! Also: The show rocked. Don't Look Back in Anger is such a great sing-along encore. It was the recipe for the perfect Friday. Literally grand.

AMAZEBALLS WEATHER. This sweaty white boy approves!! I adore you, Pea. And I mean nothing but respect when I say this. But I think the phrase, "amazeballs" is the must fucking annoying phrase on the planet. I hereby banish all use of "amazeballs" on the boards. But, I am glad to hear the weather'll make our balls feel amazing.

I'm hoping it's ok that I post this, since Cat has posted a picture of herself here before. Too hilarious of a coincidence not to, though... BWHAHA! FB stalking at its very best. You're totally fine for posting this. If I hadn't already purchased a pair of sunglasses for Coachella and Bonnaroo this summer, I ABSOOOOLUTELY woulda rocked these this summer. I have a pic of Stamper wearing them too, but he won't let me post it.

Portland's public transit has really declined in terms of service and affordability in the last ten years, but it is still easily one of the best public transit systems in the country. It was voted the best in the country for several years; it may still be, even, but I don't think about that these days when I spend 30 minutes standing in the rain waiting for a bus instead of ten. Similar in the sense that it's exactly opposite across the country, Atlanta's got easily THE WORST public transit system. But, if we can make up for it, next to LA, we may have the WORST traffic, ever.

BIZ-ump. I know there are some people looking to count calories/watch carb intake/WW, etc, but I've been using this great website I'd like to share. Anyone heard of Skinny Taste? (STORMY--I'm thinking you may have seen it floating around pinterest) Its this fantastic website that I've adopted as my cooking bible www.skinnytaste.comI made the skinny potato skins last night, but added turkey bacon. It was divine. And I made extras for lunches today. AHMAZING! She's got a magical way of taking comfort food and transforming them into healthy alternatives. She's BRILLIANT!

Am I missing something? I sincerely enjoy Talking Dead AND Chris Hardwick. And yes, Pea, apparently this is some badass chick who has a pivotal role in the graphic novel. Nerds were flipping their shit at her appearance last night. Between zombie ears as a necklace and armless zombies, I don't know how much I can handle I was expecting a bloodbath, but they only had tge balls to eliminate tertiary characters. How the fuck did T-Dawg make it out alive? Or Hershel? Sorry, I was disappointed. Also: ok, so that was a prison? And so there was a massive plot device/potential haven THAT CLOSE to Hershel's farm and he never bothered to mention it? Or he didn't know about it? Whatever. HG, I was expecting Hershel to die as well. Apparently it was in the script for Randall to kill him the episode before, but the writers like Hershel's character journey, apparently. I'm glad he's sticking around. And with the shock of Dale's recent death as well as Shane's I think killing off too many "main" characters would desensitize the audience. They gotta kill people sparingly, methinks. And yes, that bird's eye shot was a prison--this is where the 3rd season is slated to take place. And I'm thinking it is probably farther than we think it is. And you gotta remember, Hershel was pretty sheltered on that farm. He swore to die there, so I'm thinking besides during his drinkin' days, he didn't leave that vicinity much.

being three beers and a shot of whiskey in all before noon on St. Patty's Day. ^ This didn't turn out as well for me. I got wasted by 5pm and missed half of the Andrew Bird show Saturday night. Sigh.

to paraphrase a friend's facebook status: "I hope the next season opens with someone shooting Lori in the face point blank with a shotgun" I need to be friends with your facebook friend. That's perfect.

Sorry to hear that. The job market is so tough right now, but this is just crazy. This. This. This. This. I sincerely cannot lament about this enough. I'm sorry to hear about your frusturating email, Ro. With plenty of previous job experience and a killer GPA that got me through undergrad, I'm struggling to even find a job that pays above $13/hour. I've been looking for a job that'll pull me above the poverty level for the past 7 months with no avail. FML.

Its funny because I've pretty much never flashed anybody (to my knowledge). I guess it didn't feel like flashing because there was no nip.

SEASON FINALE OF THE WALKING DEAD TONIGHT! FTW!
...we would be going to that pub that does showing of it, but I apparently had too much to drink yesterday and got us kicked out the joint for resting my head on the booth. Don't ask.

I'm totally putting off the whole packing thing. I shouldn't, but that's my worst habit: putting things off until the last second. I should get better about it because I want to feel organized and have my outfits planned out

Speaking of Antarctic nights at Sasquatch, how cold do the nights typically get in the valley?
Considering its a desert, I'll assume temps do drop considerably, but should I still pack a hoodie and possibly warm pants for when it gets dark out? I am still trying to figure out how to pack.

Wasted Wednesday sounds like a fabulous day!
Andrew Stamper and I have been actively participating in "Fuck it, its Friday" for several weeks, but we shall have to integrate this one into our drinking schedule, for sure.

I love homemade pizza, Stormy. And that looks like the jam. Props I'm a terrible baker, god knows. But I have to brag about my recent creation. I need some encouragement, since I woke up at 5:30 to start making it In honor of St. Patrick's Day and my VERY Irish roots, I made Guinness beer bread. Suprisingly, it was a cinch. -3C Flour -3 T Brown Sugar -1 T Baking Powder -1 t Salt Mix that, then add -12 ounces of Guinness ( I had the nitro can, which holds nearly 15 oz and poured almost all of that in, actually. I wanted it to be moist) Mix it up and pour the lumpy (LUMPZ!) mixture into a prepared loaf pan. Drizzle 4 T of melted butter on top and bake for 40ish mins at 350 degrees. After I pulled it out of the oven, it smelled DELIGHTFUL and I drizzled honey on top. We're going over to my parent's house tonight for Corned Beef and Cabbage and I'm bringing the bread, but I want to eat it NOW

AAANNND, if everyone is truly infected, why wouldn't have Rick shared this minute detail to everyone else? Perhaps as to not scare them?
