Yo La




Went to Yo La Tengo at The Venue last night. They were pretty good. The girl in the band, the wife of the lead singer, has such a sultry voice. This guy next to me put it really well when he leaned over and said it was like it bleeds through the microphone.




The opening band "Why" is a new fav. The lead was a very friendly, though slightly odd dude from Cincinnati. His brother and his friend from highschool are also in the band. What a pretty sound! The dude next to me was nice enough to buy me a CD just because he really wanted me to like them or something. I bought a tee shirt, it's lavendar.

Oh, ya, splaination would do here. Those dudes are the guys in "Why". The first is the lead, Yoni, and the scruffy, cute guy is the drummer, Doug McDowell. They were very nice. The guy who bought me the cd's was only in town for the weekend and I did not take a picture of him...he offered to buy me a drink and I told him I didn't drink and so he went and got me a bottle of water...and ya, he got my digits...nothing will happen, but well, I sorta was feeling really flattered cuz he was pretty hot.

WHy are non member guys often so much better at flattery than mormon guys?

best guess is Mo boys are surrounded by beautiful, accomplished women with plates of cookies knocking on the door of their apartment. They do not HAVE to flatter us because there are already plenty of us vying for their attention-especially in Provo. Non-Mo's don't have it that nice. But my track record for non-mo's asking me out is a lot stronger lately. That's three in the past two weeks. but my roommates chiropractor says it's because I'm just myself around them because I'm not thinking anything is going to happen. Don't know if that's true, but it is a lot easier figuring out if a non-mo is interested.

Good insight on the part of your roomate. Probably true...So how can you act yourself around MO guys?

i've found that it is cake to act like yourself around everyone when you already have a boyfriend but he happens to not be present. so maybe try this: get a non-mo boy with your self esteem and madd skills, get pretty secure in the relationship, then still hang out with the mo's and you will be unafraid and can catch the interest of one of the rare breed of cute, cool, fun, smart, non-jaded, self aware, happy (!) mo boys. the trick is you can't fall in love with the non-mo. and somehow you should avoid being a total jerk.

this is a terrible, terrible, terrible idea.

the drummer is cute, tho.

oh rats...i was gonna take a plate of sliced citrus to the next-doors (female). i'm not trying to attract their affection, just be a friend...but with this talk of cookie-knocking, it would be way cooler if i had actually done it. i didn't have time, i swear. i did make 'happy week' signs for my roommates though - at the next-doors' for fhe.

Playing house

I have no idea how I got here. I spent so much time dating and being single and going through boyfriends and now here I am -- in my late 30's, married and with a baby on the way. Sometimes it doesn't feel real, like I'm playing house. Last night my husband and I ordered nursery furniture from Pottery Barn. We made a list of things we still need to get from Amazon and discussed the credit cards with the best points to put it on for travel miles and cash back bonuses. We have 401k's and a savings account and talk about stock investments. You'd think, at almost 40, I would feel like a responsible adult and this would all feel normal right now. It does not. Any moment I wonder when I'm going to wake up. There were times I thought maybe I'll never get married. I wondered if I'd be able to have children -- or get the chance to even try. This baby, so far, seems so healthy and so far I've felt healthy throughout the pregnancy. I'm blessed with go

Don't Touch My Junk

I am appalled that so many in my generation are ready and willing to roll over and be sexually assaulted (and let their children be sexually assaulted), give up their rights to privacy and ignore their rights as stated in the 4th Amendment all in the name of supposed security at airports. This new TSA measure is outrageous and ineffective. I did not always feel this way. Like so many others, I didn't see the big deal. However, on more careful examination of the 4th Amendment as well as the many, many assaults that have already taken place, and along with an understanding of the measures we really should be taking to ensure our safety, I have changed my mind. This video is of a man who recorded his experience going through TSA. He asked the TSA agent not to "touch his junk". That's when the TSA agent put him on the no fly list and asked him to step out of line. After questioning he then tried to leave the airport but was told he had to go through the entire procedu
