BITCH.

i am sick of people who are famous for no fucking reason. this includes famous in a cult-following-nyc-hipster way too. like, do you want someone to tell you what to listen to? i'll fucking tell you what to listen to. listen to the fucking music that you like. who gives a shit what some twerpy, geeky girl thinks? what makes her better than everyone else? and furthermore, didn't it bother anakin skywalker when he turned into lord vader that he STILL had to call someone "master"??? isn't that a sign that you aren't as evil and all powerful as you might think?

god i hate people.

prom

last night was my cousin krystie's junior prom. to me, krystie is a chubby, boombalati of a 3 year old, so the fact that she was at her junior prom makes me want to vomit. especially since...didn't WE just go to our junior prom? oh, no, we're nearly THIRTY. (in 16 days i'll be only 365 days away from that fateful number)(um. which is 16+365=381)(ew.)(what??)

anyway. yes. i remember my junior prom. like it was a second ago. i didn't have a date, but i went with my good friends. lorene and andrea. and some other girls. like corinne. who always stole my fries at lunch. and i think that girl melissa that lorene doesn't remember. and christine and her foreign exchange student who's name i believe was sebastian. (afs sleepover. oh the memories). we had a limo. we went to see barbara (andrea's mom) who was selling flowers near the highway and took pictures there. i was wearing a maroon crushed velvet slip dress that was so awesome, and my wicked black platform maryjanes. i had blown out my hair, but it looked like shit since this was the dark ages (before flat irons). i remember gina lupino was prom queen, which surprised me and made me happy since she was a nice girl who listened to cool music. (john jay, despite how much it sucked and how much freshman year might have scarred me, was always pretty cool in that the cool people were always actually pretty cool. unlike some places i can mention. like the "cool" girls (the molly ringwalds if you will) were the girls who played field hockey. and the "cool" guys (the emilos? was he the cool one?) were the ones with the shoulder length hair who were always stoned.(all the lover boys). or at least this is my recollection. like in the grade ahead of me was this group of lesbian girls. they had really short hair and really skinny eyebrows and they were so beautiful and so cool and everyone loved them. or at least that's how i remember it. and then this freshman girl when i was a junior who was the most popular girl in the school shaved her hair and it was considered so awesome. and she looked good! i cannot imagine things like this happening down here. without everyone taking smack and starting drama. i need to ask lorene if this stuff is all true or if i just refurbished my memories.

anyway.

the prom.

then was andy's junior prom. where he was the president of the junior class (like the toolshed that he is). we had to go bring balloons to decorate the knights of columbus. (another shocking difference. the KOC??? the jjhs jr. prom was at some beautiful banquet hall. with chandaliers and a fountain outside. so different). i wore a gold dress. my mom did my hair. when we took pictures, tommy came rollerblading up in the background and jumped in. i drove my green plymouth sundance (pre-stickers)and we left early because we wanted to go to playland, but it was closed so we picked up tommy and amanda and drove to the new rochelle taco bell.

my senior prom was that same year (that andy was a mere, baby junior) and i remember shopping for a dress (krystie's mom bought it for me and i think i got the first one i tried on). i remember going with robyn to carlo and company to get my hair done (irony!) i remember andy showing up late to my house because he spent the day rollerblading. i remember going to robyn's house and kenny being there and all the moms and that billy had on tails. i remember that the prom itself was shitty because WE ARE NOT PROM-Y PEOPLE. they played the same shitty music that they always play. the food was weird. another coincidence?? the prom was at beckwith pointe (where becky's wedding is). oh and our table SUCKED cuz our friends pretty much sat together and we sat with the most random of people. and the anal avenger was there. ew. afterwards, everyone went to action park for the night (amanda organized it all and i'm pretty sure she was so exhausted from being in charge of everything that she fell aslep once they got to the cabins). as for us, we were too concerned about sleeping in a hotel room together. we got mickey dees at the drive thru (in the limo) ate it and went to sleep. we proceeded to feel like we were on acid. i think we were terrified. it was the first time we were actually spending the night together (the 11/9 incident prevented me from being allowed to do a damn thing my entire senior year) and no one knew where we were. we were BABIES.

but in all? my summary of all this reminiscing? proms are always so hyped up and they NEVER live up to the expectations. and i didn't even HAVE expectations.

the thursday afternoon "all music in today's world absolutely sucks" rant

holy shit.

seriously.

my iPod keeps crapping out due to the doomsday device that has been implanted in each one, and by the time i'm coming home in the afternoon it is usually frozen. and my cd player in my car is omniously blinking on and off and therefore won't play any cds. so i'm stuck with the choice of driving in absolute silence (yikes!) or scanning through the radio stations that come into westchester. well. what the fuck happened?? there used to be so many awesome rock stations that we listened to. x107. krock. 104.3. and even classic rock stations. now the only music that seems to come through is either spanish dance music, reggeton, hot 97, or ridiculous lite music stations. for the past week, i've had to settle on (more than once) margaritaville (which luckily reminds me of cancun)(and club dread!) and various and sucky alanis morrisette songs. it makes me very disgruntled with the state of the world today.

speaking of which, did you see american idol last night? we fast forwarded through all the bullshit (which was 99.9% of it, forgive me for being cruel. i feel sad for the children of the world, but i don't want to see josh grobin's ugly and earnest face singing some dreadful bullshit)but i must say that i love jack black and his wonderful and sharp eyebrows. he is wonderous!

i am so tired i literally feel my eyeballs freezedrying in my sockets. however, i am going to the city to see some play with my mother, "inherit the wind" which i ever so thoughtfully (thougtlessly?for me)got her tickets for her birthday. i may not make it. i'm so hungry.

well, they're not the prestige...

andy and i have recently caught up with our endless built up and dvr'd television programing, and that has left us able to watch some movies. like "the departed", which made me love old luke seaver once more. (plus, it was a really great movie, like everyone says). and andy's personal favorite, "velvet goldmine" (which i was pleased to find starred christian bale!) i'm kidding, andy did NOT like "velvet goldmine", but i loved it. i love that jonathan rhys meyers just because he is so smoldering. and his voice (if that was indeed his voice. hang on i'll check...)(YES it was. plus i found out that he was an orphan. so sad!) and tonite we watched "running with scissors". which was a really fucked up and wonderful movie. and my mother met that lady who played agnes (the mom who ate dog food and was obsessed w/dark shadows)(jill clayburg in reality) and has a picture with her in her living room. but yes, it was a great movie. even tho i don't really like evan rachel wood, who i believe is dating old marilyn manson. i sound quite trite and mundane writing right now, but only because i took some sinus medicine to help me sleep. yes. due to my insomnia i fear i may become addicted to sleeping aids. i must speak to a doctor immediately. (to see if he'll prescribe something) (seriously. it sucks not being able to sleep)(did you ever know that alex p. keaton was an insomniac? i used to love him sooooooo much.)anyway. my sister just sent me an email of "the landlord" starring that potty mouthed little angel and i yelled at her a lot because she OBVIOUSLY doesn't read this. and of course, she should. oh and back to "running with scissors," annette benning was fucking phenomenal. she was FAR more amazing than she was in "american beauty" but alas, she only won the golden globe, not the academy award. sigh. my screen is getting blinky. i must sign off for now.

p.s. guess what I'M doing with my lazy day? yes, watching the prestige. again.

oh my word.

echo show...just as fun as i suspected

the show on saturday night was freaking awesome. just as i had assumed it would be. we got there around 10ish, and pianos was jam packed. as it sometimes is. seriously, getting to the bathroom was a terrible and tedious chore. we chilled out downstairs at one of the comfortable high tables. right next to us was jesse and the rippers. seriously. as in uncle jesse. apparently steve has never seen full house, but when he takes a shower, he bathes to the theme in his mind. this is just one of the ridiculous things we talked about as we waited til after 1 for echo station to hit the stage. other things we might have touched upon were using your pinkys to smooth out your eyebrows. and our knowledge of various jewish holidays. and of course, mike and amy's upcoming wedding. and how much fun the bachelorette party is going to be. and if amy is going to survive the night, or die from sheer embarrasment. and the boys going to las vegas in 26 days.

despite the great conversation, we were struggling to stay awake. amy ordered us two redbulls, which never came. but since i'm retarded, when some shots of whiskey came, i assumed they were our redbulls, and i sipped it. GAG. anyway, the redbulls appeared JUST IN TIME for the show. echo station hit the stage...

due to the fact that i had just that night watched swing kids (which is quite a good movie starring my old favorite robert sean leonard who is now dr. wilson on house m.d. which is one of my favorite shows. and my new favorite who is of course christian bale.) so i was dancing like a silly goose all night. they sounded amazing, and kevin did fabulous for his first nyc gig. the new songs were so great! i'm hoping that they put the video up online soon.

also, there were some british people dancing (i think they were really from wisconsin, but apparently keeley spoke to them and felt that they checked out). they loved the station. it was grand to see. like old times.

on the way home, andy and kevin listened to the cd. it sounded just fantastic. of course, it was drowned out by me and keeley giddily talking about all things bret easton ellis and christian bale and of course, jack black. who we both adore despite that he was hella bad in king kong. i just love his sharp eyebrows.

okay. here are some pix of the show...


andy, stephen j and mike moody dot com, just kickin it before the show. where's joebags??



moody rockin it out.

kevin looking confident and playing really, really good.

check out the crazy brits!

they just loved it! and check out that girl's white shoes. british? or middle america? you decide.




andy representin athf.


echo station.

echo wives minus one

this is HOW MUCH FUN we were having.

what a beautiful day!!!

seriously. i don't know how i do it.

i woke up this morning, miserable as can be. i got dressed, choosing my capri pants due to the ugly, wet rain (all of my pants are too long for me, and thus get saturated in the rain). i also wore my ballet flats, DESPITE the puddles formed everywhere because well, i couldn't even find another pair of shoes that weren't my Uggs (both brown, not matching my gray and grayer outfit). i pour myself a cup of coffee, to go, because somewhere along the way i totally fucked up and never brought theracare my annual review for this particular child. whose cpse transition to cse meeting was scheduled for this very afternoon at 1.

my day loomed ahead of me, gloomier than the weather itself. work from 8 o'clock non-stop til 1, when i had to skip out on another client to get to this cpse meeting; then another meeting after that. rushing on the highway, missing juliet, driving in the rain...i was not happy. i left the house with a heavy heart. actually almost on the verge of tears. i must be pmsing again.

i get a message in the car from my first mother of the day, saying that her son has not school, so maybe juliet doesn't either. i don't get the hint, and call her assuring her i'm on my way. i go to theracare first. THANK GOD. where my supervisor looked at me like i had 3 heads.

i said, "this is very late, am i in a lot of trouble?" handing over my long overdue annual review. "uh, you're not in trouble...but there's no school today!"

what?!

yea apparently we're in a state of emergency. with new rochelle being among the worst. did i know this? nooooo. did i even THINK to check the news before heading out? nooooo.

juliet had no school today. neither did ANY of my kids. hello!? who would have ever thought that so much trouble could be caused by rain? apparently this area is always this bad. why, in the 12 years i've lived here, did i not know that?

regardless, i'm home. cozy with juliet. i get paid for my 3 kids i'm missing today because of the school cancellation. also, I'M HOME!!! it is miraculous.

i'm not just saying this...

seriously, we have FUN at piano's. you will too!

echo station show saturday night...possibly last nyc gig for a long, long while...

you should come. echo station's last 25(ish) (give or take a few) shows have been cancelled for all sorts of random reasons. (for instance, snow.)if you follow the band, then you knew that these last few cancelled shows were loosely interpreted as the "marriage and babies tour" and at the end of the line would be, yep, you guessed it, marriage and babies for the members of the band. they had a whole slew of shows to rock them into this new era of their lives, but unfortunately it didn't quite work out that way.

fingers crossed, piano's is still happening. piano's is, as always, a fantastic place to see the guys. good sound, good stage, good drinks, good upstairs dj for afterwards. the show is saturday night, april 14th. they go on around 11ish, so you have plenty of time to get there.

more reasons to come:
*mike is getting married in 2 months. let's do a shot for mike! come for mike!
*steve is having a baby in less than 2 months. let's do a shot for steve! come for steve!
*it's kevin's first nyc gig. let's do a shot for kevin! come for kevin!
*andy is in desperate need of a break from his grueling graduate school schedule (and don't forget that andy's already taken his own marriage and babies tour on his own. well with his loving wife. and yea, babies, even ones as smart and funny as juliet, can be exhausting. especially when, as i write this, she is dying herself pink with food coloring. and getting it all over the rug). let's do a shot (or 2) for andy! come for andy!

my friend's movie.

The latest film the company my good friend, amanda, works for produced is premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival.

happy easter bok bok

the best part is that i actually got juliet to start saying "easter bunny bok bok." like that old cadbury's commercial. oh no, i didn't get andy any cadbury eggs for easter...i suck! last night we tried to be holy and christian and watch "the passion of the christ" since it was good friday and all and when else would it make sense to watch it? but alas, it was haunted. it was the funniest shit ever. apparently, when andy got it, it saved only the "english" version by default. apparently it is not in english at all, so the only thing we have is the version for the "visually impaired." in other words, blind. so we had some douchebag narrating the whole damn thing. it was hilarious. then it got annoying. whenever a subtitle appeared, they'd narrate: "subtitle." then a woman would read the subtitle. (!) we didn't get too far. the episode of south park which parodies "the da vinci code" was also quite funny. it makes st. peter a rabbit. if you haven't seen it, you should make the attempt to watch it cuz it is so funny.oh wait, here is the part:

in the same crazy ass vein we have this picture:





it's my good friends (i wish) from bad religion at their easter pagent. jesus is greg, who i just wish i could be. perhaps that's why i took the job at cnr this summer...
anyway, i have to go be the easter bunny (i'm wearing pink ears right now. seriously. and ironically, a bad religion t-shirt)for our young jules. she gets some yankee underpants, hurray. hope you have a nice and holy day which is a stupid sunday and we have work monday anyway so what a terrible day for a holiday.

how did we get here?

so yea i had an easy week. so what? it wasn't THAT easy. i got spit on quite a lot. but it's over and i'm off for a nice 4 day spread. i spent today thus far watching "happy feet" which is AWESOME. (and the prestige is in it. aka wolverine) and cleaning the bathroom and singing along to annie with juliet. then juliet and i went through some pictures and made collages. they are wonderful. last night juliet posed for some easter pictures for me. wanna see?

...and when i wake up in the morning...

just having a lazy morning until i go to work. for a whopping 2 hours. now i know what you're thinking, but let me say two things: first, it's my vacation week and i have to work for 6 hours. which is just balls. and second, i don't think you could imagine how hard 2 hours of work is until you have a 2 1/2 year old spitting (!) on you and climbing and jumping off your back. fingers x'd about pelham...
good news is that "institutionalized" by suicidal tendencies is on. and that always makes me smile.
so it's opening day and old wilson is at the game. yea, already, he left before 10. i don't get it but whatever. he brought hamburgers.
and NOW "selling the drama" is on. what a great mix this is. you know, "better than the buzz" which is all those 90s types of one hit wonders or songs we liked. it rules. i made it. and i named it. don't let anyone fool you otherwise.

i don't know if anyone is an adult swim fanatic like we are, but if you watched last night at 10pm for the ATHF movie, boy were you tricked. they got us more than trey and matt did for that "who's eric cartman's father?" shennanigan. if you didn't see, they started the movie (that is in movie theaters on friday april 13th!)and then, it shrunk to a teeny tiny thumbnail at the bottom of the screen. where, yea, they played the whole movie. but so that you couldn't see it. hardy har har. but the first few minutes were AWESOME! my most favorite obsession is finding out who voices animated shows(i mean, cartoons), and i am quite upset about who voices master shake. he is dreadful. but did you know that christian bale did the voice for thomas in pocahantas the movie? whaaaat? i'm getting a headache.

only thing to do is jump...

so the weekend is nearing it's end but i don't care cuz i'm only working for 6 hours this week which is just so wonderful due to the fact that as you could tell from my last post i'm nearing the end of my sanity.

i'm much better now. it was (mostly) hormonal.

some things of note: we got our dresses for becky's wedding. she went from a size 16 to a size 8 in the time since we last tried on dresses. she looks amazing and thin and beautiful. how awesome is that? her dress is fabulous. we got the dress i wanted (same as the one's therese's girls are wearing, hurray!)but not in black as she was sure she wanted. she's a mess as far as her decision making is concerned. but we did it. it's done. and since i'm pretty sure that she's manic depressive, the fact that she no longer had this to look forward to made her go out the very same night that she bought her dress and BUY A DOG!! they're nuts. i love the dog tho, he's ever so cute. his name, of course, is j.r. cash. (like christina's cat. is that weird or what???)

some movie things of note: van wilder was a fantastic movie. van wilder 2, the rise of taj, was not. seriously. i stopped watching after about 20 minutes. it was THAT bad. however, the prestige was the best movie ever. it starred not only wolverine and batman, but also nigel powers, gollum and jarid the goblin king. it was great fun to watch, despite the fact that scarlet johannsen was in it. i also found out today that christian bale turned DOWN the role of patrick bateman in "the rules of attraction" which was a better movie than "american psycho" as far as i'm concerned. but then i think, was patrick bateman even IN "the rules of attraction"? or was he only a phone call to dawson?

one last thing to note before i go finish reading my christopher pike book (final friends #2 the dance): the journal news is so fucking retarded. they ran an article today about the sea monster in the long island sound. i was SO EXCITED. then i read the article and was like, "guys. this is fake. it is so badly written how could you have believed it?" so, hahaha, april fools. too bad. i would have been at glen island tomorrow w/a camera.

aqua teen hunger force colon movie film for theaters is being aired tonight on adult swim starting at 10. why??? i don't know WHY. just watch it.
