billy joel: lyrical genius?

so in his few number of real gems he's got, he really hits it with AMAZING lyrics. we didn't start the fire, despite it's general just disarray, is great! he really knows his history, right guys?
but i'm talking more about piano man and it's still rock and roll to me and uptown girls. these songs are genius, man, genius!

well, i've been listening to the asia radio station on pandora at work (foreigner, journey, asia, stuff...) and watching billy joel youtube videos at home the past 2 days.
classic.

my friend dave's older sister saw billy joel and elton john in concert at wrigley field a couple-a weeks ago. sooooooo jealous! i love them both! elton john maybe more though. but i'm really starting to appreciate billy joel for what he was.

booooooo

i don't wanna leave boulderland.

les paul iz ded n this is funni

see? funny.

blog post

so this weekend will be a fun packed weekend.

tomorrow is donald's birthday so i'll spend enough time with him and tara getting coffee and eating food after i get off work and STUFF.
then there's this free metal show at the picador that my talented friends these needles are playing at.
saturday my talented friends casper and the cookies and pcc are playing at the ames progressive. i'm really excited for that! i haven't seen the cookies in awhile. it'll be fun.
monday dungen, woods, and wet hair are playing at the picador. that will be sweet too.

wow i don't like updating my blog every day for a month. i really don't have a lot to talk about.
next week i'm going to colorado so i don't know if i can continue this...

day five

it's been an interesting day. i haven't had a check card for the past week or so (just came in the mail today but AFTER i left for work) and so i've been trying to keep cash on me so i have ways of paying for things i purchase and so i had to leave early enough to go to the bank to get $$ out so i could get gas because i realized i was on "E" last night when i was returning from work and had 2 dollars on my person.

exciting story. my friend grant just moved to iowa city and i hung out with him this morning then went to work and had a really fun work day for the first time in awhile. it was slower at night but i guess that HAPPENS.

now i'm drinking strongbow. hard cider is the greatest thing ever. EVER.
latez dudes.

day 4

okay it's technically the 5th but i still think of it as the 4th because i haven't gone to sleep yet.
i worked all day so i don't have much to say about my day. i cleaned a lot yesterday and it smells good in my apartment now.
i really thought we'd hit 17000 at work. we only got to 16500. booooo.
i need new tv shows to watch. i really want to re-watch twin peaks but it's too creepy to watch in the middle of the night by myself. BOO.
this is going to be tough to keep up! good night!

a post every day

for the month of august i'm going to make a post every day.

this one is going to be about lemon scented lotion.
i convinced my parents to buy some a couple months ago and then last month when jill, jason and justin were visiting i got some myself. it smells really lemony, like lemon juice even.
if only they made chapstick like this...

part two of the post is that i'm cleaning my apartment. i made room for this sweet thing i want from decorum that i've been trying to find a place for before i buy since i moved here. now i need to buy thumb tacks and sticky tack.
or something.

lemon lotion and cleaning. i guess they go well together. LEMONY FRESH.

the intranet

you never realize how much the internet is apart of your life until it is taken out of your life. whoever lived near me with a wireless signal in reach moved out and so now i'm without internet until i cave or someone else moves in with the intranets sans passcode.

anyway, whatever.
the ipod touch got bluetooth and so i've been trying to pair my ipod touch to my polaroid instant printer lately. NO SUCCESS thus far.
i might have it figured out though... i think i've got the passcode for the pogo so i'm set possibly.

anyhoo, but with the internet discussion. so i'm at java house right now and i realize that when i'm on the internet i really don't do all that much other than look at random wikipedia sites and blogs and youtube videos and check the sales at work and look at flickr pages. i really don't do much of importance on the actual internet. this is kind of a let down when i go to the coffee shop to use the internet and i realize this... i feel like i should be doing something important. instead i'm updating my weblog and listening to the choir.
i was looking at some cameras on amazon for awhile... ?
as long as i don't just spend the whole time on facebook i guess it's not too bad.
RIGHT?!

anyhoo, i should go do laundry and clean my apartment. i made a list of things to do today and i have yet to start on them and it's 2 pm.
epic fail.

i've updated my blog more in the past 2 days than i have in the past 2 months probably. strange.
went to some show at the warehouse that a buncha kids moved into last night. noise show stuff. yup. yeah... stuff!
okay. latez yo.

APOD

a staple in my life for the past 5-6 years has been APOD (Astronomy Picture Of the Day) and so I was checking it the AM after not having the internet for about two days - tragic, I know - and I'm checking it and the picture today is a remnant of a Supernova. so COOL.

Anyway... here it is.
also, to check out APOD... http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/
