Photo de la Semaine avec Photo Series #2

Ok, first of all, my little sewing project (yes, it's obvious now that I was at least sewing something) did not get finished as planned. Laaaaaaame. I know. I fail. But it's ok, and it's going to look super super cute when I'm all done with it, and I promise to still post photos of it when it's finally complete. Sorry if I let anyone down though. Sewing is HARD.

And now this is going to be a quickie of a post because I didn't expect everything all day to take so long...ugh, busy. I pretty much sewed and trimmed and ironed and all sorts of shit all day long until this evening when I went off to see Earth Wind and Fire (the band) downtown for the New West Fest (Fort Collins! Woo!). It. Was. Awesome. The crowd was unbelievably packed (gross). And all I could practically smell for 90 minutes was beer, sweat, and cigarettes (and of course the occasional whiff of reefer). But it was nice. My good friend Kelsey and I had a pretty fun time dancing (as best we could in such tight spaces). And we were pretty damn good at weaseling our way through the crowd to get closer and closer to the stage. I had the idea that it would be a fun challenge to see just how close we could get toward the end of the show.

This is the first time we thought we got close...

Here's where we ended up!

Pretty sick, right? We got almost right up to the stage! (These pictures were taken on Kelsey's iPhone, by the way). And here is me and Kelsey:

She came out blurry, but that's what you get when you have no third person I guess.

Anyway, it was a good time. We also got mac & cheese afterwards, and it was goooood.


So, it is now time for the moment you have all been waiting for....

I give you the Photo de la Semaine (as will be shown on In Review: Stuff and Things) along with a little mini series.

Enjoy :-)

There were many many many more from this day that I'm sure you'll get to see later on.

Until next time....

I suggest you get LOST.

I'm not kidding here, get LOST.

You know that TV show that was really popular some years ago? It was about these people who crash land onto a freakish tropical island, and they...are...lost (hence the title of the program).

Let me just start at the beginning here. At the beginning of the summer, I was trying to convince Charles to watch some Friends episodes with me (my favorite sit-com TV show ever) knowing that he would really really enjoy it (which he did). He said he would only watch the seasons with me (I am in possession of all 10 of them) as long as I would watch a show of his choosing once we were done with our Friends (we also enjoyed cracking awesome little jokes about it the whole time, such as "We have to see our Friends tonight" and "I can't wait to see what our Friends will do this time" and many other hilarious puns).

These are our Friends. From top to bottom, left to right, we have:
Joey, Ross, Chandler, Monica, Phoebe, and Rachel.
We love them.

Well, we powered through all 10 seasons in the matter of approximately three months (that's a lot of TV, folks), so now a couple weeks ago, it was Charles' turn to finally decide which program to see next. It was a tough decision for him between Seinfeld, the Sopranos, and Lost. (By the way, he absolutely loved Friends, he was just a little wary of admitting it publicly...so sshhh). I told him I could really care less which one he picked, because I figured they would all be pretty good, and it was rightfully his decision since I made him (well, I didn't force him, because like I said, he got into it pretty quick) watch all 10 seasons (again, lots of TV).

And now we're back to the very tip top of this post. He ended up choosing Lost (another one we can crack silly jokes and puns about, such as my title of this blog post).

And the winner is........

Seinfeld and the Sopranos were a little upset about losing this competition. Sorry guys, maybe in the next run.

Sorry Jerry, but you can't buy your way through this.

 

As intimidating as you guys look, you're just wasting your time.

     

Anyway....I'm frikkin hooked on this Lost thing, I tell ya. Which I'm not sure is a bad thing or not seeing as how we're both going to be starting school again next week (yikes!). But I'm sure we'll make the time for it. It's just so hard to watch only one (hour-long) episode a night! They all end in a crazy nail-biting cliff hanger. It's a bizarre, frightening, suspenseful, meaningful, well-filmed, and well-put-together television show with the occasional good joke or two thrown in there (which does not make it cheesy at all. Really). My non-American readers, you'll enjoy it too, I promise (I'm really oblivious to how much other countries know about American television programs, so if you have heard of it, please take no offense, and if you have not heard of it, I sincerely hope you were paying attention to the rest of this post).

I'm telling you all, if you haven't ever seen it, do. I wouldn't write an entire blog post about it, if it wasn't worth mentioning (and no, I did not get paid by the producers for promoting or advertising it to the public...unfortunately).

So go on, head on out to your local Best Buy (or Wal-Mart, whichever satisfies your wallet more) and GET LOST.

I'm about to right now. That's partially why this post is significantly shorter than usual.

I should have some more exciting stories later in the week (and more pictures! yay!).

Thanks for reading.

Peace.
