fuzzy

Last week was weird - it was sort of like being on vacation and sort of completely overwhelming and exhausting and sort of surreal all at the same time. My brain feels a little fuzzy.

I put in 10+ hour days at work, and didn't really mind too much.

The weather was surprisingly gorgeous all week.

Charlotte, one of my BFFs, was in town all week, so I spent a lot of time playing with her.

I didn't really like the new episode of House all that much (relative to other episodes of House).

I finally ate at a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. I enjoyed it; it was a little different, the service was good, and the food was quite good.

My brass quintet confirmed our first gig. It's a volunteer thing and it's in front of a lot of people. So we really do need to decided on a name so we can use the opportunity to promote the heck out of ourselves.

Saturday Charlotte and I went to play in the apple store. My intention was to drool over the macbooks. I walked out with a 5th generation 30g ipod. Then 3 hours later I realized that I forgot I get a corporate discount. So maybe next week I'll go back and see if they'll apply it.

Saturday night we went to Mac's, one of our favorite local pubs, with some friends. Then Charlotte had a tattoo appointment (her second one - to celebrate turning 30 this year). We went to Fate Tattoo. Her artist was named Shannon. Her tattoo is an Innuit moon on her shoulder blade. (Her first tattoo was/is a sun). The tattoo is beautiful. The artist was super nice and funny and talented. The prices were reasonable. I know where I'm going to get my tattoo.

I'll probably see Charlotte off sometime this early afternoon. Then I have quintet rehearsal. Then it's back to life as normal. I think.

house icons

So on some websites, there are these fabulously addicting things called icons. It's been a long while since I've made time for them. Color me inspired this week. Because I just made 5 in about 45 minutes.

I might as well post them here for your amusement. And I think this is the end of House posts for at least a couple weeks.

we all have a little fangirl inside

I think my inner fangirl may cause my head to explode tonight.

House is new, which is usually enough to make Tuesday nights happy. Tonight guest stars both Kurtwood Smith and Dave Matthews.

Dave Matthews is of course THE Dave Matthews of Dave Matthews Band fame. If you're thinking that they are just frat-boy drinking music, then you're only partially right. I thought that, too, until a friend made me listen to Before These Crowded Streets. Then I saw them live. And then I signed up for DMB fangirl.

Kurtwood Smith has been in a lot of stuff for a lot of years. He's probably most known for his character of "Red" Foreman on That 70s Show. As Eric Foreman's dad, he was always threatening to kick everyone's collective asses. (personal favorite quote: Your ass has a "vacancy" sign and my foot is lookin' for a room!).

And, if my fangirlyness wasn't already satisfied, Gomez is featured at the end of the episode, too! I got into the band because of House.

Is it 9pm yet?
