4 Months? Really?!
It’s been 4 months since we’ve blogged. This was supposed to become our primary source of income! It’s okay though - I’ve got a new idea. Starting immediately, we’re going to charge $5 per post. So if you want us to pour the details of our intimate, juicy, lucrative personal lives (and believe me, I need you to want that) into this blog, send $5 to my Paypal account!Just kidding though, our love is free. So here’s what has happened during our vacation from blug blug:
- I purchased one 2007 Mini Cooper S.
- Since that time, it has been wrecked and repaired at $5000.
- For the record - I am innocent!
- I went on tour with David Shultz and The Skyline with an awesome guy named Sean Walsh from New York. In fact, we’ll be touring with him again in February 2008.
- Took a trip to the pumpkin patch, got some gords, and carved them up.
- Got VIP passes to Hanson at Toads Place!
- We hosted our 4th annual Thanksgiving gathering, yielding 6 different stuffing variations and one incredible turkey.
- It’s important to note that the turkey was soaked in a brine for 12 hours, and baked for 5 hours with a fine apple/onion/cinnamon blend INSIDE OF IT!!!
Visible proof of these incredible events below: 
Digitally, yes… Physically, no.
So far today, we have:
Played Wii
Not made a new song
…but pulled out all the dusty instruments we have stashed away in the music room
Made and drank two pots of coffee
Not taken a shower
Made fun of Matt’s incredibly witty “one liners”
Watched Secondhand Lions
Laid around
Window shopped online for dresses from Anthropologie…
…then looked for the ripped-off version from Forever 21
Played with/Laid with Maynor
Sandy finished school, while slightly still buzzed… (making sure to get her $40 worth from the Canal Club).
Diana ate beef jerkey
Matt still wants a nap.
all this and it’s only 3:30.
Justin Timberlake @ UVA
There are two things about me that most people don’t know:
- I have the courage to blog about seeing Justin Timberlake in concert.
- I am a man.
Generally those two things are contradictory, but I can transcend stereotypes and have seen the beauty in JT’s live performance. And it really was awesome.
We got tickets for about $75 each, after service fees and all the awesome fun bucks they like to throw on the end of your purchase. It’s pretty difficult to make a seat in row S on the upper level of a huge arena to be worth $75. So it was probably worth about $54, the original cost of the ticket before asshole taxes. And if you add in the delicious snacks we bought at the arena, such as applewood sausage, popcorn, soda, we’re talking mega bucks. That being said…
Pink, or I guess now it’s “P!NK”, opened the show with some wicked crazy military dance moves, and she played some songs I completely forgot about, like “Don’t Let Me Get Me” and my all-time-fav “Pill”. From there on it was just Pink rolling around on the stage and bumming everyone out… UNTIL… she came out in some lingerie type thing and sang “Get the Party Started”. Then it was like, a real party down there, like 500 ft from me, Pink was spinning around on a piece of fabric dangling from the SKY. She really does know how to get the party started.
Enter Justin Timberlake, who came for the after-party in search of a disco ball to break. But anyway, at this point, there was so much screaming, I didn’t know what to do so I screamed too. Really I was hoping for some flying action, because I know NSYNC used to do it… but that wasn’t necessary because JT is all grown up, and basically floats around on the stage using patent pending footwork.
I mean, the dance moves were insane, and I have to give so much credit to him for making the show ADULT-LIKE - There was a makeout sesh with one of the dancers, there was one particular moment when JT did a specific hip thrust into an innocent dancer who was bent over in front of him - I mean, totally adult friendly. It was kind of like softcore porn.
But what I was hoping for, and what was most impressive, was his ability to actually play instruments with his songs. Heavy piano use (which slowly rotates while he plays, gotta get one of those), he played some guitar, one of those funky strap-on keyboards from the 80s, etc. No drums - and that’s where I will fill his void, one day. He also did a really amazing version of “Losing My Way”, probably my favorite song of the night - he was just so genuinely into that song, it came out perfect.
So I’m not afraid to say I went and saw Justin Timberlake. Eff all yall.
