listen.

the first time i heard them, i thought this band was like a male version of imogen heap.
but now i don't know why i thought that.
go listen to "taking the world on" here: http://www.myspace.com/meesemusic
i think i like them. but still undecided.
i guess one problem is i didn't discover them myself.
garrett told me about them.
for some reason, that makes me reluctant to like them. ha. i am so weird.
he and i have always been a little competitive with our music findings.
that's maybe one of the only things that hasn't changed between us.
[oh and him taking me for granted.]

well. i have to go to the lab tomorrow. big time. but. i can't fall asleep. i'm so sick of this.

tonight, i had dinner at carol's boyfriend's restaurant. he's a sushi chef. he made the whole menu and stuff for this new place. they just opened last week. well, you know. i don't eat sushi. james said it was good though. and i was forced to gag my way through my 3rd ever piece of sushi. this one was from justin's plate. he's vegetarian, so carol's boyfriend made him some all veggie rolls. i still couldn't handle it. it's so hard for me to get that stuff down, while trying to hide the fact that i am gagging. i don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. i just don't like it! carol ate one with eel. she said it's her favorite one. clearly, i'll just never understand. ha.

and otherwise... i have some cool ideas floating randomly in my head for the fabric finds of the day, but i can't get anything coherent to actually form. i just see little bits of images, but when i try to piece the whole thing together it's like BLAH. that same thing happens to me when i am thinking about scrapbook layouts. i get little bits of images in my head, but not whole pages. it's a little frustrating.

and tonight, i emailed in that fiskateer assignment thing. i think it might go up on the blog over there this weekend, so as soon as it does, i'll post it here. i did take it into the store today to get some ribbon to match, and i let my boss take a peek. she actually asked me to teach a class. i'm thinking about doing it. it would be fun, and she said i could make some money doing it. i'll have to see how my time works out. i'm thinking it would take a lot of prep... so i'll just have to see.

oh yeah. alyssa... i got in big trouble today for not wearing my retainers. but i knew it was coming, so i just smiled and took their lecture. he had to file down my bottom retainer to get it to fit. then he jammed that sucker in my mouth. ouch. i'm supposed to wear it 24 hours a day for the next couple months. but i promptly took it back out when i got to my car. :] ack.

i'll leave you with this little beauty from clap your hands say yeah:

the band is a bit odd i suppose, but i keep the cd in my car. you know. for the times when i need something different. :]
