Record companies suck goat schlong!

I hate Incubus now. I waited in line for FIVE AND A HALF HOURS, not to mention the 2 hour drive to get there, and they shut the door right when I was NEXT. Live 105 lied their asses off saying that if you buy the CD that you get a wristband GUARANTEEING you'll meet them.. sure you got a wristband. But what Live105 didn't tell people is that you had to buy the album on Oct. 23rd, and if you bought it on the 24th you get a wristband for the "secondary" line. The line they MIGHT get to. And out of thousands of people, they left when there was only a couple hundred left. And they left EARLY. They were supposed to be there until 10 but they left at 9. Fuckin bastards. Even Fred Durst isn't THAT much of a jerk. Pricks...

Yay!

Today's the day... I get to meet Incubus today! Omigod I'm totally excited! I have a rediculous amount of shit for them to sign, hope they don't mind! Ugh, I'm not looking forward to the line though! I hear that the line for the signing in New York was 3 city blocks long, and one guy got there at 3 and didn't meet them until 8. Wowsers... Good thing I'm leaving work early today! I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait!

Incubus is coming to town!

Can you say "FUCKIN' STOKED"??? So not only do I get to see Incubus on November 19th, but this Thursday they've decided to bless us with their presence at Tower Records in Concord for an evening to sign their new album "Morning View" (which I highly recommend picking up, it's great). My boss found it in his heart to let me leave early that day so I can insure my spot in line. Hope the guys don't mind if I bring more than just my copy of Morning View! (I have all their other cd's and a couple promo photos I'd like to get signed too) I am just so psyched to finally get to meet one of the greatest bands I've ever heard. Unfortunately, I will have to carefully step over all the 12 year old girls that are just there because "Brandon's hot." Which, don't get me wrong, he IS hot... majorly! But it just disgusts me to see little girls gushing over him, and I even heard he has made an appearance in BOP magazine. Gag me with a smurf! Oh well, as long as they keep making awesome music and remember that just because they are famous they are still just like you and me (a.k.a. not god) then it's all good... I'll put up with the teenies. But they better not get in my way at the concert... I might have step on some teenie-bopper toes. I'll try my best to talk the Incuboys into a quick photo on Thursday, which if successful, will immediately be up on my site. Anyway in other news, I'm moving this Saturday and I'm so excited! I ordered my couches yesterday and am buying my bed this weekend. Unfortunately, my couches will take 2 to 4 weeks to arrive so I'll be sitting on this cheesy inflatable loveseat that's been in my trunk for a year and a half until they get here. But it's no biggie... I'm not planning on hooking up my cable right away, so I guess I don't really need a place to lounge around and watch TV just yet. Heh, me without cable... we'll see how long that actually lasts! Good thing I have a ton of books! Yup yup.

Open house, bleh!

Well, we did it. We stayed up all weekend and got my house ready for open house yesterday, and damn I'm tired!!! I was literally falling asleep at my desk today, so I disappeared to the bathroom for a power nap. Yes, I sleep in the bathroom. I know, it's sad. But at least all the housework is done! Now we just have a couple minor repairs to do, but all the major stuff is done, thanks to my uncle and my sweetie. (Who worked their asses off! Thanks guys!) So now we just have to find a buyer and I have to find an apartment! But in the meantime, my dad is moving out of his place and there's a good chance Olaf (my sweetie) will be renting it, so I have a feeling I'll be staying over there a lot. And until then, he'll probably be staying with me (he's been at my place for over a week now, and I love having him there!) so I guess it's all working out just fine. It's a good thing my mom likes him! Actually, it was her idea for him to come stay with us (since his roommate is insane, and after living in London, I know what it's like to have an insane roommate... NOT FUN.) Even my dog loves this guy! I think Olaf is sneaking him treats when I'm at work because my dog has switched to sleeping on his side of the bed instead of mine. That little traitor! But I'm glad to have found someone who is totally on the same wavelength as me... the totally twisted wavelength! Speaking of twisted, I've come across a few REALLY wacked flash movies, and will have a page full of them up soon for your viewing pleasure. So check back soon for some pee-your-pants-hilarity!

Giant seal + scooter = scary!

So did everybody have a nice Labor Day weekend? I sure did!!! In fact, I can't seem to stop smiling today even though I am DEAD TIRED! My sweetie and I spent the whole weekend together, and my boss hooked me up with tix to the Giants game yesterday, right behind the dugout. Those seats couldn't have been sweeter! Unfortunately, the Giants lost, but Barry slammed one out as usual, so I guess it was still a good game. Well, except for the fact that Lou Seal tried to run me over on his little scooter. You have no idea how frightening it is to have a 7 foot tall seal hurtling toward you on wheels with no visible intention of stopping! He gave me a big smooch afterward though, so all is forgiven. (for those of you who don't know, Lou Seal is the Giants' mascot) Anyway, my weekend just kicked ass all around!

Is this really happening?

I know what you're thinking... the evil carrot hasn't updated in ages... no love for the netsurfers, right? Yeah, well sorry 'bout that. I've been busy as hell lately and just haven't been able to find the time for playing on the internet. So much has been going on... I'm in the process of fixing up our house to sell it, which has been a MAJOR project. I have to start looking for an apartment soon (hopefully in San Carlos) and I'm trying to figure out how to pay for the $2,000.00 pine bedroom set I've got my eye on. Luckily, I'm back to work at my old company, and for quite a bit more money this time around too. I'm not exactly rolling in dough, but it's enough to survive I suppose. I've also started taking a guitar class since my father got me a beautiful Fender acoustic for my birthday, and I'm trying to find time for a few fun nights out here and there. I had an interesting one last weekend though! An adorable carpenter came to fix my front porch, and just my luck, he called me a few days later to hang out... We ended up "chaperoning" his landlady's son's birthday party, but we didn't do much chaperoning. We ended up drinking quite a bit, and he almost blew up a gas can! Then when we figured things were staying pretty calm at the house, we headed off to the bars for a couple more drinks and a game of pool, this time chaperoning his father. Many of the night's events were so surreal, that he actually asked me at one point if all this was really happening. (I think that was about the time his dad and some guy had a quickdraw duel with their liquor bottles as the only weapons... it only took about 40 seconds to get the cap off!) After we finished with the bars, we made a stop at the liquor store for yet MORE alcohol and a couple sandwiches, (one of which somehow ended up in several pieces at the bottom of the bag) and we headed back to the house to pass out. I know it may not sound like the most interesting evening in the world, but for someone who has been as busy and overworked as me, it was a nice retreat from the real world! And luckily, I didn't even get a hangover like I'm sure I should have! Well, that's about it for now... Til next time... ~EC

It's all about the Hat, baby!
