Celebrity Sighting #CFN

My husband was kind enough to let me drag him to Lake Tahoe to see Graham Elwood and Chris Mancini do stand up. Holy crap it was awesome. I will not go into details because I want to keep this amazing experience to myself, but I'll just leave you with these two words: gang bang. Wait no, that's wrong: palm strike!

License Plate Game 2013

Since I was young I would start the game when I got out of school and it would end when school started, and it was usually around the middle of August when I did start school, but I saw a commercial that claimed that August 15th was National First Day of School (fascinating marketing for school supplies), but so many schools start after Labor Day, and also I haven't been in school for almost a decade, so I'm just calling today the end of my quest.

Here are the elusive states I did not cross off my list: Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Vermont. My trip to Las Vegas was a huge help since we were in the car for about ten hours each way. So until next summerish, the game is over.

What Does Rhyme With "Hug Me"?

I have two friends on Facebook that posted about their time at the Train concert. SIGH......Now I know the bible says not to judge and everything. Granted, that's like a part time hobby of mine. Still I think about how I unironically enjoy Lada Gaga, Maroon 5, and Taylor Swift songs.

This past week I switch the radio stations from Hey You to I Knew You Were Trouble and from Hotel California to Blurred Lines


I do not support the Blurred Lines video. At least not the rated version. The one with naked ladies is okay and all. It's no Take on Me or anything. But I heard the song on the radio and like it.


Now for those who think Blurred Lines is "rapey", maybe you should realize that you have to take this song as the joke that it is. My interpretation is this is a guy hitting on his long time girlfriend or wife at home and no one is in on this joke but him and her.

For those who think he's seriously complementing her by saying she's "the hottest bitch in this place" I worry about your relationship history. I have a friend badmouthing this song after the recent Colbert Report (Great episdoe by the way! Watch it now on Hulu!) and I had to take his words with a grain of salt.

He's allowed to badmouth songs he thinks are annoying and I get to do the same. Ewww, Train. But I hope that my friends got their money's worth at the concert.
