Take your time, figure it out...


I have this one song in my head and it's been there all freaking day. Me and Michelle discovered The Fold this weekend. They are rad and happen to be playing in SL tomorrow and I am totally going. Listen to "The Title Track." There's really nothing better than discovering a new band, one that you know is "all about the music" and still unknown by the lame MTV world that's waiting to pounce, throw them on TRL and put them on stupid 98.3 VFX. Really, it's the best. I'll take some pics at the show tomorrow.

Dooce is a blog I read pretty regularly. I think she is a fantastic writer and she takes really cool pictures wth her really cool camera. Dooce can be a little extreme in some of her topics but still, her writing is so great. Anyways, this past Saturday there was this huge story about her in the SL Trib. It's pretty good. I had no idea about some of the things she talks about, like her depression and thoughts of suicide, but I'm glad the article was so honest. You should read it.

This past weekend Michelle came up to hang out a bit. Our good friend Chris lost his mother to cancer last week so we went with some of our friends from Logan down to Tooele for her funeral. It was the largest funeral I have ever been to. The entire church chapel and overflow room was packed. As I awed at how many people were there to pay their respects, I couldn't help but wonder if I could fill a room like that at my own funeral. Probably not. But it was so great to see how many people were touched by this one woman.
So Saturday was a little bit of a downer, but it was good to have all our friends there supporting Chris through this difficult time.

I am STOKED for Oprah tomorrow.



Barack Obama is supposed to be on and I think he is great. He is so cool and so put together. I am a fan, definitely. He's so handsome too! I wonder if he will run for President. Maybe he'll say something on Oprah tomorrow.

I want to make some salmon SO BAD but it's just too stinky to cook when you have roommates! I made it like a month ago and it definitely reeked up our house. Maybe I will just go get takeout from somewhere so I can eat some without having to cook it. Hmm...

The internet and word-of-mouth are amazing tools for new musicians to find an audience.

Bri you are so random in your blogs. I love it. I'm not gonna make it to the show tomorrow :( sad I know but let me know how they are and if it's good. How did the institute date go? any prospects? ps I thought it hilarious that you were somewhat arguing with my brother on my blog... you crack me up.
