[Not Feeling a Title]

Tonight feels like it should be cool outside, but it definitely is not. I'm ready for a weekend of Lounging, Jurassic Park-ing, Autism Walking, and who knows what else!

Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft, tough to be tender
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train

A Bar in Amsterdam

I'm pretty obsessed with this song by Katzenjammer:

Work was not so great today, but it was nothing that red wine and an excellent thunderstorm couldn't fix.

This is the best thing I've seen all day:

Strange Things are A-Happenin'

I know Marie already wrote about this, but that's just too bad. :)

There was a big storm on Saturday complete with hail, an excellent lightning show, blinding rain, and high winds. That storm passed through around 5:00 pm, and by 6:30 that evening, the sky was mostly clear. We went to see Toy Story 3. After the movie, we made our way to the Mud Lounge (of course). Along the way, we passed a mass of people standing in line to see Whitechapel (judging by the people in line, this does not seem like a band I would like. Although, I could be wrong)* at the Ballroom. After navigating our way around the crowd, we made it to the Mud Lounge, which was closed. CLOSED?! At 9:00 pm on a Saturday?! Actually, it was closing; the waiter were cleaning off tables.

Marie and I brainstorm about things to do, and we decided to pick up food and go back home to watch Air: The Musical. The first place M suggested for food was Perkins (random), and we ultimately settled on Sonic (cranberry limeade, FTW!). As we're leaving the parking garage, we hear a strange sound. It turns out that a piece of metal had fallen from M's car, and was dragging the ground. M took care of the that, and we were on our merry way once again.

Except, Sonic was closed. And so was Perkins (it's supposed to be open until midnight). However, the bar between them was in full swing. There were a couple of traffic lights out, but they were on opposite sides of town. It was very eerie. Also, when we got home, our clocks were blinking. Apparently, the electricity had gone out at some point, but came back on around 8:45. It just seems so strange that it occurred hours after the huge storm passed.

Basically, we were convinced that it was the apocalypse.

So far, everything has been normal today. Well, as normal as they could be with M and myself... ;-)

*Okay, I looked Whitechapel up on iTunes, and it is definitely NOT my cup of tea. I realize this is not important to the story.
