My niece's band, ThisMeansYou, won a contest - Metal Blade's "Search for the Next Great Metal Band" contest. She is awfully excited. The band won at Ozzfest a few years ago, and I'm not sure what that was about, but apparently there was a tv appearance. She also told me that their music is now available on iTunes and Pandora, which is even more exciting, to me.
So, if you're into metal, check out a few of their songs, and tell me what you think. I think they are really really good. Kim has wanted to be a rockstar since she was two. It would be amazing if they got a record deal!
crossposting with Music, because I can't shut up
In the interest of cleaning out the fridge before we're gone for the weekend, I made a stir-fry with ground pork, broccoli, asparagus, corn, baby spinach, onion, and ginger, and dumped hoisin on the whole thing. I pronounce it not bad at all, if I do say so myself.
That sounds delicious, Dana.
DH is bringing me takeout from a restaurant by his work that we haven't been to before. It's an adventure.
Did he tell you those things? Or did the teacher?
oh no, mac does not tell anything. I am working right now on letting him know that I know all the facts and THEN getting him to tell me. not so much.
ita - this run away stayed in the building, so I hope not, but I would not be surprised by a call.
jesse - last day of school is the 26th.
Poor mac and poor msbelle.
I got stuff to write about, but really. I'm so fucking boring I can't stand it.
NYC-istas: here are 2 things you should visit because I can't --
High Line Park
The Earth Room
I've never heard of that Earth Room! And I will definitely go to the High Line if it's ever not raining on a day I'm not at work...
Talk, kat, talk. I want to know. You're definitely not more boring than me.
Is it wrong that I want to ditch school or at least the grad ceremony (for which I have a cap and gown -- HI-LARIOUS!) to go see the corpse flower at the huntington?
'Sokay, ita.
Being a parent is just a lot of drudgery. And the lovely moments are so sappy and kodaky that undoubtedly all of my non-parent friends are rolling their eyes. Like today, Noah articulated a sequence of events, in chronological order that he remembered. His little brain is growing and developing and it thrills me because you can see all of that learning happening.
But the truth is? SO BORING to read about when you aren't his mom.
In other news? I'm writing letters to local businesses to ask for sponsorship for cheerleading. We need to raise $300 per girl for uniforms. Right now I have 10 girls so that's only $3000, which seems an insurmountable amount.
And I also need to raise funds to buy a screenprinting thing so we can make shirts for cheerleading. Which is another $300 give or take, but would ideally pay for itself.
And did I mention I need ads for the newspaper?
