get. shit. done.

even though we've been living here for two years, we're finally getting some serious shit done. i'm definitely going to earn my making a house a home merit badge.
this weekend: organize the fucking shoes, clean the closet, and get some kitchen paint going! it will definitely be "direct green". and we have to do all sorts of other house stuff too because monday morning electricians are coming out to tear shit up. they'll be going into the attic through our closet, cutting off the power for about 12 hours, adding new and amazing outlets, adding a LIGHT to the CLOSET (what a novel idea, right?!), adding an additional light to the bathroom (the cave, as i like to call it), adding another lightswitch to the bathroom so we're no longer at risk of shocking ourselves when getting out of the shower (who knew!), and breaking the light fixture in the bathroom so we can get a new and better looking one. WOO!
and oh yeah, saturday night is all about getting strong drinks at the museum.
GO TEAM WHITNEY.

renovations

i'm considering getting these anthropologie reading glasses turned into prescription glasses.

i want to replace our nasty futon with this bit of target loveliness.

i want to paint the living room and the kitchen.

and oh yeah, i'm spelling "fuck" in these super girly letters.

fun times?

this could either become the best thing we've done, or the worst thing we've done. either way, i want to find out!

haunting, i tell you

i've loved this necklace forever, i just might buy it with some holiday/ overtime pay. it is perfect and would make me super happy.

no tent fires, no (almost) puking

the lineup is out, and somehow i missed the email. i'm sure i'm pretty late on this, but oh well. i'm pretty sure i have to go again this year. at first i wasn't too taken by the lineup, then the dealbreaker hit me: CSS, fuck yes. my mini lineup:

beck
conor oberst
band of horses
vampire weekend
jenny lewis
stars
css
del the funky homosapien
mgmt

you don't have to be such an asshole

i really want to see the virgins, i just don't want to take part in this retardedness

brunch ideas

"donut muffins," otherwise known as snickerdoodle cupcakes in this house
jello oranges
salmon, dill, cream cheese quiche (too bad i can't link to that ripped out recipe living in my purse)
lemon tarts (lemon curd with no cornstarch!)
lox and bagels (all kenton asked for)
mimosas (of course)

most of it seems pretty easy to prepare ahead of time, i just have to decide what to make now. and stop getting distracted by new options of course...

i hope little brother is ready to grow up, just a little.
this show will be awesome. we weren't able to take andrew to rjd2 but he better make it to this. one day he'll be sitting at the bar with his friends. they'll all be reminiscing about their first shitty show, and how awesome they thought it was at the time. his will be this one and it will rock all their stupid faces off.
