The Tennis Concert

Last night, we went to the Tennis concert in the city.  What else is there to say about the band LIVE that is not obvious.  They were great. They left nothing to want. Read this review to get a feel Live Review, 4/30/12: Tennis Evokes Springtime Feelings at the Independent.  I thought the review ^ was good, too, so I looked the author up.  (At first I was offended that she thinks people who post baby pictures on facebook are boring, but then I remembered she's single.  She has a cat and I have a kid.  It's like the same thing.)

Anyways, back to the concert.  I shamefully danced and tried to tone it down.  I apologized when I squealed in glee.  We made jokes with anyone that talked to us.  Surprise everyone! White people have a sense of humor, too.

"This would be a great spot if this tall motherfucker wasn't standing in front of us."
"What if they designated standing sections by height?"
"Whoa, thayt is heightist!"
"Why I gotta stand in the back?! Nahhhhhhh shawttie."
"I'm taking that word back.  It's now a term of endearment."
"I'm not short, but I have a friend that is short.  So I can say that."
"I grew up around a lot of short people."
"Shortie is not the same as shawtie."
"Das jus heightiss."

Tall dude blocking us had a handlebar mustache so you know he was legit.

Fun note: Tennis is comprised of a husband and wife team, and the husband is sooooooooo hot.  I've got teeny bopper googly eyes for him.

After the show, while waiting in line for the bathroom, of course I was that girl that was talking too much to the other girls in line.  Target bras and panty liners came up.  Blogs and writing did too.  I had the "This isn't comedy hour, this bitch needs to shut the fuck up" vibe going on.  Yeah, I was that girl talking wayyyy too much in line for the bathroom.  I was chatty Kathy all day with complete strangers.  Sandwiches does that to you sometimes.

Mikey was very pleased with the concert.  More than pleased, elated.  Spent $70 bucks at the merchandise table after the show and we was groupie-ing it up, waiting for Tennis to come out so we could meet them.  But  security scooted us out before we could enjoy the fruits of our labor.

Overall, pleased customer right here.

The Power of the Internet

I'm connecting with you because of Facebook.  I know your thoughts.  I know what you like.  i know what you're complaining about. i know how you talk.  relationships are different now depending on how emotionally slutty you are on these online forums because I know you in a more detailed way.  I may have never really talked to you in real life, but because we are Facebook friends, there is a constant dialogue. 

Technology has become a real extension of ourselves.  We like something in real life and we can say that and share that with the world through social forums.  Everything you would want to know about a person on the first or second date, you could learn on their social network profile.  Things that we think and feel and choose to document online in emails and on social networks are there for the foreseeable future.  We can tap into them whenever.  Had a thought the other day and emailed it to myself.  A week later, I read it and knew word for word exactly what I was thinking.  I could email that to someone else, and depending on if they read and save it and read it again later, that thought could exist forever.  That's what I mean, we can access our thoughts at any point in time, depending on your internet connection of course, and we can access information we WANT, too.   Information that could be trivial or academic.  The time between wanting and having information is now ZERO.  And that's what they mean by the world is getting faster.  That old way of describing the internet, the information super highway, indeed.  I finally get it.

WATCH THIS!

Swimsuit Season Already?!

I never go swimming.  I hate public pools.  I can't get the idea out of  my head that everyone pees in the pool.  You know it's true.

But I love the beach, I love the ocean, I would live anywhere that was within a 20 minute drive to a warm sunny beach.

And I love bathing suit shopping despite not really needing one.  But I'm super picky.  I'm into the high waisted 2 piece suits and one piece suits, and luckily those are very Vogue right now.  I've got a mommy pudge belly that needs covering for sure.  Nathan cutely points to my tummy and says "Baby!"  Which makes me sad and makes me wish I was pregnant instead of just looking like I was 3 months pregnant.  Eh, that's just the truth about post baby bodies.

So here are my picks...

 I want all these bathing suits!  Vintage Retro...I <3

These pictures are totally channeling my new Li-Fo music genre obsession (Tennis & Best Coast).

 Urban Outfitters

 Volcom

 

Monokini's work for me, too.

BCBG 

 Ralph Lauren

 

Can't go wrong with a classic black number.

I can't wait til me and Mikey's wedding anniversary Santa Cruz trip next August.

How could I forget RuPaul's Drag Race?

What is there to say about this show?!  Great host, awesome characters, dancing, costumes made a la project runway, make up transformations, funny dialogue and a supplemental after show just to showcase the shit talking and z snaps behind the scenes.

Definitely, one of my favorite shows and they just started season 4!!!!

LOVE ITTTTTTTT <3

My books

I'd categorize the books I like in three categories.  

#1. Reading Assignments

Not all the books that fall under the category "reading assignments" were actually reading assignments, but I read them thinking they became classic reading assignments for good reasons.

#2.  Saga Books

Self explanatory... (don't judge me)

i'm hoping you can't see this.

 I'm still reading this one, no hurry since I've seen the first season, but the book is only slightly better than the awesome show.

I'm still unsure if I understood "y."  A re-read is on my horizon.

#3. Highly Suggested

On the top of my list of books I suggest to friends to read there is Survivor, by Chuck Palahniuk.  In Chuck Palahniuk's world, the things he writes about are usually about something else entirely.  I'd also suggest Fight Club 

and Snuff 

both by Palahniuk, both very entertaining and thought provoking.

my mom gave me this as a Christmas gift before there was any rumor there would be a movie.  I was surprised to hear that it was written by a man.

 This was also a gift from my mom.  So funny, and it gives you the ultimate answer to the universe, life and everything (42).

Sad, but funny.  A mom suggestion, too.

I'm gonna re-read this soon, too.

Ummm, her last name is....

Good reads,

Jenny

Rugs

We're decorating our apartment still. I think our next big buy is gonna be a rug for the living room. Mikey suggested a southwestern print rug. In my fantasies, we buy something along these lines...

Because I am a 19 year old female hipster at heart.

My wife wants me to post more. So here I am.

When it comes to music I am an androgynous being in her sophomore year at a liberal arts college.

Shit I've been listening to recently:










Next post will have pictures of my ironic tattoos.

Best,
Mikey


P.S. I hope I lose my virginity soon.
