What better to bring me back to this journal than Bamboozle? Plus, I finally have a bit of time to waste at work, and this weekend ruled my life. Might as well tell you about it. I did last year.
 
On Friday night I was going to head out to that new buzzed-up-the-ass place Angels&Kings (aka the Crush Bar) for the return of the Stolen Transmission party (Ultragrrrl&KarenPlusOne's dj sets always rock this body!) but LeBoy had me itching to see him in New Jersey. He'd been gone a while, see.
 
The next morning LeBoy and I headed to Giant's stadium after a solid brunch with the Great American Freedom Machine. Seriously, I ate everything off my plate, and days later I still remember this meal [I am still enjoying this gum! ]. But don't let me fool you - this mere moment of tasty bliss was not the…

I need this L.A.M.B. watch:     However, it's $325. I think I'm going to start saving.   Also, I want one of these:     That is a toyger. It's a special breed of domestic cat made to have tiger stripes. It's probably thousands of dollars, but...I'm obsessed. OBSESSED. I've been missing animals lately. I haven't held a cat in forever. I want to go to pet stores just to pet cats. However, most pet stores I see in the city only have dogs. So I've been checking out toygers pretty much on a daily basis. Also cute? Bengal kittens.     OMFG how cuted out are you right now?! I'm writing at work (shhh) and I'm silently flipping out at all these cat pictures. Can I has katz now?!?!?!??!

Also, I might need this shirt:

I'm working on an article with a deadline on Friday and I needed a break. I break from writing by...writing?

Moving on. It's been one of the busiest weeks on record. It's excruciatingly painful waiting for the weekend.

Random musings.

This week's Gilmore Girls was decent for a change. Emily Gilmore and Logan's characters finally reappear. Also. I don't like blonde dudes, but if that Logan ever wanted me...

The next Monty Are I video is going to be amazing, according to Steve. He rolls around in bed/makes out with a Johnny Cupcakes model - just saying.

Lost with Erica, Sarah, and Brandon tonight. Solid episode. Stoked for the rest of the season. Can't wait for The Soup to start a Lost Rave and have Mankini out there dancing in front of the brainwash room. Also: what's with the brainwash room?! Also: Jack all scruffy in white…

On Monday night Erica, Rachel and I were at our computers with the FUSE channel on as background noise (it wasn't time for Heroes, yet) and all of a suddenz, I hear "I don't wanna be your loverrrrrrrr" coming from the box. I ran to the television, as did Erica, and there was Monty Are I! It was a commercial and it had video from their holiday shows in Rhode Island (my girls and I roadtripped to...). The commercial also features Permanent Me!

We obviously FLIPPED and then I called Steve and he was like, "Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you about that..." Pfft. Enjoy. And go buy the effin' album already and check out their TOUR or I will be mad.



TOUR DATES!!!!!!

Currently feeding my insomniatic (?) tendencies with Season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and my couch. I did not find David Boreanaz hot until I started watching this show. The only other guy I've been crushing is Joel McHale of The Soup. Dude would be my perfect husband. And I'm lovin' the scruff he's sporting lately.

Moving on!

Had a great week. Hanging out with the Monty Are I boys always guarantees that. On Tuesday night at Black & White I had my two favorite boys on the planet - Steve & Ben - and all my girrrrrrls. I lurve them.

Thursday was the best day I've had in quite a while. I had a spectacular meeting with two [amazing] women who hired me freelance to write articles for their website and edit…

They're somewhere there...

While still deathly ill, I managed to make it to the Annex last night for the Stolen Transmission Benefit Show for puppies and kitties. Erica, Rachel, Meesh and I met up with Steve and Justin from Monty Are I before the show and grabbed some pizza. Mainly because Steve only eats pizza and if any sauce besides marinara were to enter his system he would suddenly lose the ability to play mind-blowing solos. Sorta like Samson.

The show started out with an acoustic Oohlas performance; Ollie is the most adorable frontwoman!! They didn't have the drummer around, so the set was the most quiet of the night, but Ollie's voice still captured the place. And their jokes about puppies and kitties that I can't even repeat here.

It was Bright Light Fever's first NYC show and they were particularly impressive. They have great energy and…
