It surprises even me to realize that I have been pretty busy lately, new home, new job, new car, foster dog, new volunteer work... I have even fit in some crafty goodness. I painted some chairs and other furniture and made some buttons. I will post more on that later.
Anyway. I was in B&N earlier this week to pick up Season II of Friday Night Lights... thanks Jennifer... and decided I would also pick up a few cd's - I know antiquated form of music - and TV even, but whatever, I needed the new Ashlee Simpson CD.
Don't hold it against me if you haven't heard it; if you have and you still scoff, well go bug off I didn't ask for your opinion anyway.
I have this habit of buying CDs of artists I have never heard of (though thanks to my new zune it will cost me less), but on a hunch (read as: I liked the album art nd song titles) I bought a Kate Nash CD.
Frankly I love it.
With the poppy happy tunes and the harsh lyrics, you can be mad at someone and still smile. So if you are not familiar with her and you like a little sass in your music collection, then go find a way to get it....
I recommend getting yourself a Zune pass... and if you are on Zune... I am quornflour, you can add me to your social and see all of the other crazy stuff I listen to.
Yesterday TxK and I decided to venture out of the snowfields of the eastside and head south in search of warmer weather…
To Puyallup we went to the Spring Fair and to the Smashfest Demo Derby. Even with the frigid tempatures (for April in Washington anyway), we had a super fun time.
Heck I'd go so far as to say: Best $20 I have spent on live entertainment in a long time.
I also found a most wonderful wool hoodie sweater and a carmel apple, both of which have been on my hunt list for a while now.
I <3 Television
I will admit it. I do. I <3 Television. I always have. Growing up we had an 11” black and white TV until I was about 10. Then we got a 13” color TV and cable.
I absorbed all I could get. My father was the artistic director at a television studio. I loved the production room. Televisions of every size. Everything was on. I was in commercials, but the production was what I loved. Television consumed me.
In my first apartment, where I lived alone for the first time, I did not have cable. I felt inspired to go to the gym to watch the latest shows. I had bunny ears in precarious positions for the best viewing, even if it was only “Blind Date” that I could get.
In my life I have been part of social groups based solely on a common following of a television show, from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” to “My So Called Life” to “Days of Our Lives”.
I would hide away with my secret obsession for trash reality television. Shows you avoid telling even your closest friends that you watch like “Big Brother” and “Elimidate”.
Anything that was there was for my consumption. I would turn off. Not watch TV for days, weeks even. But, it would wait for me and welcome me back to its electric arms.
Now I can sit in my office at work and catch up on many of my favorite shows. I do not have to plan around my show, or figure out how to program my VCR.
It is all at my fingertips – no Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, I won’t kill my Television.
Where do you watch TV?
What are your favorite shows?
Where are your favorite shows?
What am I wearing for my best friend wedding?
A shweshwe bubble dress!
Any one who can sew this for me please contact me on Pam_electric@yahoo.com...
I need to go on another trip... *sigh*
I dumped all of my photos in my flickr account but I did very little editing... here are a few of my favorites that I do not think I have already posted...
in the morning before all the people...
