yay for alcohol! »

I just helped some old lady open a bottle of wine at the hotel. Chardonnay to be exact. My alcoholic skills have proven themselves useful!

I also finally moved last night/this morning. Now I just have to unpack and get my room all arranged ... I think that wine might come in handy.

Also there's pics from this past weekend's WDW trip on my flickr.

super absorbent pants! »

Today I was sitting at work and I was like, wow, it really smells like cigarette smoke. I was the only one there and I kept sniffing around to see if it was coming in through the window or something like that.

When my boss got there, I was like, do you smell cigarette smoke?

He looked at me like I was crazy and was like, uhn, no.

But I KNEW I was smelling it.

Then it struck me.



My pants.

MY DAMN PANTS SMELLED LIKE CIGARETTE SMOKE.

I put it to the test; when my boss left the office, I bent down and sniffed my leg. For sure, it was all stale cigs.

WTF?

I'd gone to the bar last night, but we only stayed for a very short while. 2 drinks, to be sure (Sign #492 You Are A Lush: You measure time in drinks). Probably no more than 20 minutes, and then 10 hours later, my pants still reeked of cigs?

I TOLD you that Gap pants were amazing.

A: Not that big »

Next Big Thing 5 was fun ... but not awesome.

David & I got there around 11.30, during Motion City Soundtrack's set. We tried to hunt down my co-workers who were there, but it took a little while because the place was already pretty packed. Anberlin came on while we were in the beer line (mmm, beer). I think Anberlin was pretty good; I don't remember their performance that well though. The rest of the afternoon was kind of a blur, mostly because the bands tended towards the generic and/or lame (ie, Story of the Year, Our Lady Peace, Rise Against, err .... I can't remember any others). Alkaline Trio was pretty spectacular though. I'm digging it.

30 Seconds to Mars, on the other hand, was spectacuarly crappy. My co-worker Erika had been like, mmm, Jared Leto's like the top reason I'm going to the concert. Upon seeing him, she promptly vomited on the floor. Not really, but his greasy hair and raccoon eyes really gave one pause. I mean, his eyes were like Tammy Faye Bakker + Tara Reid. Nonetheless, they knew how to work the crowd ... of 12 year old prepubescent girls. And oops, that kinda stuff stops working on people after middle school.

Trapt came on around 5 or so and they gave a decent show. I slept through the first two songs that My Chemical Romance did. Wow, I really don't like that band.

And then around 8 or so (I gave up wearing a watch a couple months ago) was the best act of the night ... STAIND!! Damn that Aaron Lewis is hot ... in a fat old man kinda way.

Unfortunately, since Staind was the last act, we missed half of the set because we decided to leave early. Getting caught in a crush of 15K Hot Topic teens is not my idea of a good time.

Ugh. Hot Topic. PUKE.

Also, Tampa Bay <> Tampa. RRRG. How annoying was it for unwashed Jared Leto to be all like, WHATS UP TAMPA. Um, honey, you're in Clearwater. Performing in a concert put on by a radio station based in St Petersburg. NEITHER OF WHICH ARE TAMPA. Neither of which are in the SAME COUNTY AS TAMPA. Guh.

Q: How big is big? »

To-morrow David & I are going to the Next Big Thing 5! Yay. It's 97x's big concert of the year -- Staind, Trapt, My Chem (ew), 30 Seconds to Mars (yum), Anberlin, etc. are playing. And in preparation for the 10+ hour concert tomorrow, I'm working 13 hours today.

...

I know, I'm a freakin pushover.

Boo for me.

But YAY for Spike Jonze. How hot is that? I should do that at my store.
