why do they always use the 'white man' to make you go these things….

Today…
My parents are great but ordering food with them in a restaurant is not so great. Well my dad is easy going (cept when he doesn’t like his food and makes it a point to show everyone working there he doesn’t like it) but my mom on the other hand has no decision making abilities at all! Anyway – no big deal. I just got home from taking them out for dinner at the Manhattan Fish Market in Center Point. Apparently it’s last day for that branch and they are closing down tomorrow. Food was alright and I can’t remember if I finished my mocha drink. I’m waiting for the ED to kick in – it never fails when I eat there. That’s either a good thing or a bad thing – I don’t know. Right now my tummy is just rumbling.

Reflection…
These days, at the (still) ripe age of 29 (almost), I prefer stay-at-home weekends over partying. Last week I went to see a DJ set with Mira and Reuben of LADYTRON. I just felt so out of place and ‘old’ – not hip and about to bust A hip as well. I may think I’m ‘mature’ for having outgrown the whole club scene in my early 20s but I secretly envy those who can stamina such things – even at my age. I guess once in a blue moon I like to and CAN party like a rock star but for now I will stay at home, hang out with my cats and occasionally meet up with friends for dinner, drinks, movie and/or karaoke…Plus I’m saving all my ‘parnenrgy’ for October. London – Baltimore – London. My initiation into the last year of my 20s…

Right now…
I’m going to watch Lost Season 5 episode 7 soon. How awesome is this season? It seriously gives me blue balls of the television kind! I don’t know what to do with myself when I watch an episode and have to wait for another week for the next one.

This is a low

Damon Albarn & Graham Coxon performing at the NME Shockwave Awards 2009

I wonder why they chose that song to perform? A hidden but very obvious message? I don’t know but it’s nice to see Blur (albeit only Damon & Graham) together again on stage. I can’t believe I have tickets to see them for their first announced concert @ Hyde Park (July 3) and I’m totally bumming that I may have to sell the tickets off because I can’t afford the airfare to London. Maybe AirAsia will have another sale closer to the date and some time between now and then, I will have somehow a) won the lottery b) received a big fat bonus from work  c) agreed to an indecent proposal…. siggghh

…And what’s this I hear about Faith No More also reuniting for some summer festival dates in Europe?
