reasons why i hate the summer
by miranda roach

  • summer clothes (see: shorts,flip flops,hats)
  • pale skin burns easily (especially my scalp)
  • feeling sticky (see:sweat,sunscreen,combination of both)
  • the beach (sand, beach jocks, frisbee)
  • air conditioning (bad for the environment, bad when you don’t have it)
  • camping (i have never been but and hate the peer pressure that surrounds it)
  • much longer work days (schools out)
  • food (my favorite foods are meant to be eaten in cold weather: soup)
  • judgement for staying indoors(since it’s sunny you must be outdoors)
  • dehydration (it’s a lot of work to stay properly hydrated)

took the midnight train goin’ anywhere May 14, 2008

why after a totally relaxing weekend away does it feel like i didn’t get a weekend at all? this week has been pretty un-eventful. i bought a shuffle. it’s interesting to lose control of the selection of songs. immaculate machine-dear confessor came on which gave me chills followed by journey-don’t stop believing. not a combination i normally would have chosen but was pretty epic.

i’ve started to pvr/record the cosby show so that when holly comes over we don’t have to watched the family channel (children’s television is so horrible nowadays) but i end up watching all the episodes before she even comes over!

anyways i’m going to the fabric store now to see about putting fabric on my walls….is stiffner the same thing as starch?

 

motherless mothers day May 13, 2008

Filed under: holly — veinsexplode @ 1:05 am

holly’s dad and grandma decided to ignore mother’s day. they instead spent the day distracting her, entertaining her and buying her things. i didn’t think that was necessary the best tactic so today we picked tulips from my garden and brought them to the cemetary. i can’t imagine having to grow up without a mom.

 

seattle was lovely May 12, 2008

we took the 9am ferry friday

border took an hour to get through but luckily didn’t get stopped. i <3 target.
we went straight to alderwood centre mall.

olive garden. thank god we don’t have one here, i’d be gigantic.
ryan had mushroom stuffed ravioli and i had eggplant parmesan.

we stayed in lynnwood which is about 20 mins from seattle. we were able to get a way nicer hotel for our money and we were close to the mall we wanted to go to as well as nordstrom rack!


saturday we drove into seattle and walked around all day. we spent most of our time in capitol hill. we found a great vintage store called atlas vintage and i bought a black sweater with gold bows and a shirt made of ..tinsel both for $20.


yes, ok so we have the same glasses. we were both looking for sort of the same thing. they were super cheap so we both got them. i guess only one of us will actually get our prescription put in and the other will be left to find another pair. i think i might loose this one.

when we got back to the hotel around 6 ryan decided he wanted to return the electric razor he had purchased from target so we went there and ended up staying to eat pizza hut.
we brought popcorn back to the hotel with us (how healthy) and rented 27 dresses off the hotel room tv (omg..so good?!) “i feel like i just found out my favorite love song was about a sandwich”.

we left this morning after having amazing breakfast in bed (french toast!) it was a pretty successful trip. there wasn’t any shows worth going out to so we ended up being forced to relax and stay in. i bought the glass castle from borders and am really enjoying it.
wanna know what i bought?


quite a few cute things from forever 21, a new gold bathing suit, new bedding from target, 2 pairs of flats from target, vintage store stuff, the most AMAZINGLY PERFECT bright green trench coat from the rack, 3 new bras from nordstom, underwear and this little sparky statue from daiso!

future trips we want to take: asia, la, new york.

i got a bra sizing at Nordstrom today. i’ve been wearing a bra that is 4 inches too big in the elastic and 1 cup size too small. a-mazing!

hip-hop hipsters May 8, 2008

Filed under: recommendation — veinsexplode @ 4:21 pm

Still debating the Buck 65/Cadendce weapon show tonight. Seems weird to have a hip-hop show in a sit down venue. It’s at the Alix Gooldin hall in the music conservatory which is great because that’s my favorite building in town and where we got married but still a weird choice of venue.
Also, we are leaving at 7 am for seattle tomorrow so i was sort of hoping on being asleep early and packing tonight…..BUT it is buck 65 who i still have never seen and “in search of the youth crew” by cadence weapon has been my favorite song for a while now….listen: http://www.myspace.com/cadenceweaponmusic
