Escaped and VMA-ed.

Well, it looks like we escaped the gloom and doom that is Hurricane Ike.
Unfortunately Cuba was not as lucky. My thoughts and prayers are with the Cubans and I hope they get out of this safely.



On another completely unrelated note, what did you guys think of the VMA's last night? After reading around on my blogs, I don't think it was as bad as others seemed to have thought even though I can admit that it was a bit strange. The whole backlot and sound staged performances just didn't do it for me. Plus, it made me feel old b/c I had never heard of half of the bands performing or winning (Paramore? Tokio Hotel? Who?).

Also, who else thought it was rigged to put Britney in a favorable light? I thought it was blatantly obvious. What was up with her muddled intro?

And was I the only one that found Russell Brand awesome? It could be b/c he's British (I have a thing), but I was loving him!

This also furthered my debate as to where I stand with Katy Perry. Do I like her? Do I hate her? She is adorably cute, but her album was crap. "I Kissed a Girl" is super catchy and I found myself singing it the rest of the night, but I feel like she just sings things purely for shock value. Eh, I think I'll just stick to my buddy, Lily Allen.

Ah, the ponderings that result from an evening with Mtv.

Ike

This week has been less than stellar (rather not elaborate), but I'm going to try my best to enjoy this weekend because next week looks like a doozy.

A category 3 (possibly 4) hurricane seems to be heading our way to make a visit sometime early next week. I hate hurricanes. I hate huge, scary hurricanes.

Both the hubs and I, along with our pups will be spending the storm at my sister's well-equipped home. I really hope we are all scurrying around like maniacs and worrying away for absolutely no reason.

With that said, I hope all of you have an amazing weekend!
Please keep all of Florida in your thoughts & prayers. We are going to need it.

It's a good day.

After having a pretty depressing weekend, I can honestly say that today is looking very bright (despite Tropical Storm Fay knocking at our front door)! You see, many things were going wrong, but now two out of the three aren't too shabby.

Ready?
#1: I got an official date for my thesis defense. It's happening people: I'm finally going to graduate. Jeez, I almost don't even want to say it.

#2: Remember the Pumpkins concert tomorrow? Well, it got rescheduled to Thursday! This never happens. Ever. But it did. And it's pretty freaking awesome. Sorry: FUCKING awesome.

Actually, both of these things are FUCKING awesome.
Nay, LEGENDARY.


And to all my fellow South Floridians, stay safe during the storm tonight and tomorrow!

Well this sucks.

For all those readers that have forgotten, Tuesday was supposed to be the happiest day in the world: it was Pumpkins day. Yes, Tuesday is the day the Pumpkins will play Mizner in Boca. The day I took off from work along with my hubs and 6 of our closest friends. It has been 8 years since I've seen them play live. This was not supposed to happen.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?????????

Today is officially the worst Friday ever.
