My socks are officially rocked.

So last night I went to the free They Might Be Giants concert with yendi and kellinator, and met up with glenn5 and ilexx and ilexx's LJless friend Justin there. One thing that occurred to me: I went to their free concert last year on the same exact weekend, the last weekend of June. Which, last year, was my first Friday in Atlanta. And last year I was just with yendi and so happy, and last night was like a full-circle thingie... the only different thing being that now I have friends. :)

So. Met ilexx and Justin, who are both veryvery cool, and ilexx is even prettier in person than she is in her usericons! And had *lots* of fun dancing... wore myself out during "The Guitar" and "Boss of Me" back-to-back. Much bouncing. Much hip movement. yendi likes the hip movement very muchly, but I, umm, kinda hurt his back at one point.

The dancing, btw, is a great fun workout. Definitely felt the burn in my calves and abs. Also, we bought "Mink Car" and "No", and I got a pretty new dichroic-glass-beads bracelet. Such pretty bracelets. I want to get one for each of my chick friends for Chanukah.

So yes. Wonderful happy time. :)

This morning: Got up way too early (read: 8 AM) for the Powerpuff Girls screening. Which was organized *way* better than the Lilo & Stitch screening. The movie was very good... not as great as it could've been, but then, we view all things Powerpuff with high expectations. The kids will love it. The adults will like it.

Went home. Paid bills. Went grocery shopping, as we were out of *everything*. Bought floor-plan porn.

Now, understand, in Florida they had floor plans in the newspaper every damn week. A whole section of just info on new communities, and floor plans out the wazoo.

In Atlanta, they apparently expect you to buy a house without seeing the layout. You cannot get a damn floorplan to save your life. Nothing in the papers. Nothing on the builders' websites. Nothing.

So I had to buy the big fat floorplan magazine. I'm in withdrawal, you see. I need to look at floorplans. I need to imagine what that house would look like if it were mine, which room would be my office, which kid, current and future, would get which room, all of that stuff.

Yes, I'm weird. And now I am going to go read.

So it's an ok movie to take Elayna to? I have to call your mom and find out her schedule for next weekend and see when we can take her.

Now, these are silly questions, but remember I have no real idea about kids, um, so she has to sit in the back seat, right? and um is there anything special I should know about do? I don't want to ruin your kid.

Yeah, Elayna's gonna love it. You will too. Many monkeys.

She sits in the backseat, yes. Dad will help you install the booster seat. Nothing special that you don't already know... don't feed her anything dairy, is all. She's allowed popcorn and nondairy candy at the movie - they generally have a kids pack. She won't drink anything carbonated, so you may wanna smuggle a juicebox in your purse in case they don't have anything noncarbonated. Mom can provide you with one.

k. I can handle all that. The butter on the popcorn is ok then?

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Nah, get it without butter. I know it's not really butter, but it's disgusting crap, and she likes her popcorn just fine without.

all right! I can handle all of this. I think. darkmattr will probably have to work, so it's just me and the kid. Can you tell I'm a bit nervous? =)

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

You'll do fine! Just, um, *try* to do it when darkmattr's not working, 'k? The vision thing?

Concert

[charleseb.livejournal.com]

This makes the second TMBG concert that I have missed in the past year. I am beginning to feel that I am doomed never to see them again. Sad is the downside to working at Six Flags, but soon that job will end and I will have my weekends back.

How soon does it end? Concrete Blonde is playing On the Bricks on the 12th...

Good grief, ilexx has made the move to ATL already? I had no idea. Tell her "welcome" from me the next time you see her.

Incidentally, what is it with you and mousegrrl and the Powerpuffs? Something about them gives me the creeps. Don't know what it is. :)

cheers,
Phil

This weekend is ilexx's recon mission... she hasn't officially moved down yet.

You should watch Powerpuff Girls! Very fun show.
