Fric Frac

fric frac - the state dept. of health is at my building (I manage the therapy dept. in a nursing home) and i was off today when they got there - ugghhh - i hate this time of the year - i wanna disappear. now all the nice feelings from a fun and relaxed weekend are gone, pushed away by the knot of panic in my stomach. we are so behind on paperwork... damn it all...

Another Thing I'm Loving

MTV's playlistism - different bands share their favorites on a playlist. I'm listening to Tokio Hotel's right now (who I must go and check out cuz I love their accents and their look!)

ooohhhhhh - they are German - no wonder I love the accents! and they are described as emo - what a funny word! When I first heard it, I thought it was in reference to a comedian from the late 80's who was named Emo. Ooops - not quite!

What I've Been Up To

Getting A.'s Graduation Album/scrapbook done - I've been planning it for over a year, but only started working on it last Saturday for the party which was today. Needless to say, it's been a busy week!

Planning A.'s Grad Party which was today and went very well - I even saw Marcy - she came with her boys - YAY! But really, all my time and energy has been spent with A. and all the stuff being a senior in high school brings with it the last few months. I suppose I'll go into withdrawal because I won't have anything to plan or anywhere to go.

Sending I. to Norway - he left 8 June and won't be back until 31 July, at which time he'll bring his friend back with him for 2 weeks.

Trying to plan our trip to CA.

Obsessing, still, about Twilight. I even gave A. the first 2 books in the series. When I have time, I'm on TwilightSource (ok - I stay up way too late and spend way too many hours there, but it's my natural home, now that I've become an obsessed fangirl!) I decided not to pursue the Stephenie Meyer tour becasue we'll just be getting home from CA and try as I might, I wasn't able to justify further expenses involved with making a trip to NYC or Chicago. I'll watch it being streamed online, however! OMG how I love these books - I finished them and turned around and started them all over again!

I changed our cable a few weeks ago and have been obsessively watching MTV or MTVU, getting caught up on music again! Being a first generation MTV viewer, I missed the videos when they went to more programming on the first MTV channel. I've been loving it and finding new, awesome music!

Did I mention I'm obsessing over Twilight?

Catching up with a friend of A.'s who we haven't seen in a few years - she's such a nice girl and we have always enjoyed her company. She's going to be on MADE this summer and I'm so excited and happy for her!

Oh, and obsessing over Twilight - I LOVE YOU EDWARD!!!

"The Breaking Dawn Concert Series

featuring Stephenie Meyer
with Special Performance by Justin Furstenfeld from Blue October

In less than three years, Stephenie Meyer has become a worldwide publishing phenomenon—writing the internationally bestselling Twilight Saga. To celebrate the release of Breaking Dawn—the fourth and final book in the Saga—Little, Brown and Company invites fans to participate in an evening of story and song with Meyer and singer/songwriter Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October.

The event is designed to give fans a truly unique, one-of-a-kind experience by featuring music that inspired Meyer while writing the Twilight Saga. Music has played such a strong role in the writing of the series that Meyer has created playlists for each novel. Special musical guest Furstenfeld will perform several songs featured on these playlists, including "Sound of Pulling Heaven Down," the platinum-selling "Hate Me", and "Overweight".

The evening will also include a Q&A and autographing with Meyer."

So cool. I really like Blue October and I identify so much with music being a backdrop to all I do. I hope I can make it work!

Twilight Teaser Trailer

Here's the trailer. Doesn't Robert Pattinson make an incredible Edward? I can't wait!

OMG!

Can these books get any better? I am SO obsessed with the Twilight series, I think it's all I think about. SERIOUSLY, if you have not read them, READ THEM NOW! And I am now an obsessed fangirl on several online Twilight groups. I can't get enough!

I need a friend to be obsessed with me and go to the release of Breaking Dawn with me on August 2nd! Stephenie Meyer what have you done to me????

I Am Hopelessly, Madly, Obsessively, Irrevocably...

...in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen, from Twilight. If you have not read the Twilight series, YOU MUST DO IT NOW! Stephenie Meyer's books are like a drug - utterly intoxicating and totally addicitve. I have had to physically restrain myself from completing Twilight all in one sitting; work, sleep - it matters not when I am in this world. I am so obsessed I can't stop thinking about Edward and Bella and Edward and Edward again. Check out this trailer on twilightsource.com from the Twilight movie to be released December 12, 2008 . Gah - Edward will be the death of me!

WooHoo!

SciFi has Star Trek: The Next Generation on! It's one of my all time favorites! I hope it's on for good! YAY! A great ending to a rough day :)
