We went to Al's on Sunday night to celebrate Shay's birthday.
Pool and Pacman.
I like it there.

I'm so happy to finally be able to see the finished product for this video. It's probably my favorite song by the Monday Mornings.

Enjoy.

bon iver


Thank god Bon Iver is coming out with a new album.
It's so fucking good. So good.

Just listen.

You might hear something you like.
Or not.











My list of albums to get is steady getting longer and longer.

roll-a-way









Ok. So I was a little skeptical at first. Rollerskating? I couldn't even imagine the last time I'd done it. But I'm glad I did.

It was so much fun. I was pretty rusty, but Jim was horrible. I had to hold his hand the entire time, except for when he fell, in which case I quickly released my hand so that he couldn't take me down with him. People are really serious there. I'm sure they did not appreciate our fun and laughter, or the fact that we were drunk. I think it's safe to say we drank too much. But really, would it have been as fun if we didn't?

Anywho, good idea Shay.
Although I'm not feeling so great today.

PEEL


Just a little game of bananagram between the two of us.
He won. Barely.

Finally, Jim came home. I couldn't wait to get off work yesterday to meet up with him and finally hang out. I got to meet and spend some time with the band he'd been with for the past week. They were so nice and friendly. Sounds like they really loved Jim and I think they're trying to steal him from me for a much longer amount of time coming up this summer. Oh brother.

Anyway, I got to see the band play last night. Good show. And then we all hit the streets for some fun.




solo market stroll

Jim had to go into work for a little bit today, so I decided to walk around pike place while I waited. It's been quite awhile since I've walked around the market, and my first time doing it all by myself. I checked out Left Bank Books. I'm not entirely sure why I've never been in before. It's a very small little bookstore and if you've never been you should check it out. Not your typical bookstore.

Anyway, I picked up a couple books. Of course I got another Murakami. I'm trying to read every one of his books. I also picked up another book that I've been wanting to read for quite some time. I have heard numerous people say it's a must read. Now for the hard part...which one do I read first?

dog days

Taking advantage of the sunny days.









Fingers crossed for a good summer. We deserve it.

wish list

Homeownership

Backyard/Patio

Big Hypoallergenic Pooch (when charles is ready)

Le Creuset Cookware

Wall Full Of Records

And a million other things.

Maybe I need to move out of the city.

addicted to

EARTH TONES


It's true. I really am. I can't remember the last time I've purchased anything that isn't. Jim makes fun of me about it all the time. I'm starting to see why. I've even tried to turn him over to the earth tone side, but I'm failing miserably. I also tried to get him to wear a tank top (worst idea ever), so maybe I need to keep my addictions to myself.

don't shave him



Charles got his summer haircut today. He is looking so fresh.
I love his groomer.

special delivery


I'm very happy about what finally showed up in my mailbox today. I've been waiting a few weeks for it, since creating an account on America's Test Kitchen website. If you like to cook and don't want to fork over the money for the cookbooks, getting the online recipes is a nice treat.

yous guys


Me. Jackie. Kimmy.
Tonight we booked our tickets to New York.
I'm beyond excited. It will be my first time.
Two days of travel.
Six days of exploring, eating, and drinking.
I want to see everything.
I want to be a tourist.
I don't fucking care.
September can't come soon enough.

AGAIN WITH THE FUCKING BLOND HAIR. I'M ADDICTED. I NEED THIS.





My boo is leaving me for six days to manage a short Canadian tour for Phantogram. Major bummer. I already miss him and he hasn't even left yet.

11 May 2011


Kimmy turned me on to this cool new magazine.
Iconic women and the cool shit they're doing.
I can't wait to sit down and read it on my day off tomorrow.

devil take you



Sometimes week nights are the best nights.

Kimmy and I met up with Grace and Tomika at the Whiskey Bar for drinks before heading to the Crocodile. Our friends in Crypts(Nick and Bryce)were opening for Zola Jesus. How convenient!

I've been wanting to see ZJ for quite some time now. I knew it was going to be good and it was even BETTER than that. She played tons of songs and is awesome on stage. I loved her all white outfit and bleach blond mane. I'm so jealous. I would love to see her again. If you weren't there, you missed out.
