now do you believe me??

ok. i have two points that i want to bring up. i'm hoping after i talk about each of these things you will find yourself thinking, "wow, julie has been right all along!!!"


POINT #1:

The traffic situation in West Lebanon, NH. Horrible. Remember the time it took me 45 minutes to get out of the Wal-Mart parking lot? and then another hour to get to the highway? A process that normally takes 5 minutes.

Anyways, the traffic is so bad and I can think of numerous times where I have thought to myself,

JULIE: I need to be the president of the city planning and zoning committee so I can fix this mess.

i believe i might have even written about it in this very blog. i know i always say that road planners have one of the hardest jobs ever - and i still think that. but - i will also say that the road planning in west leb sucks. plain and simple.

so what do i learn yesterday? well. i learn that they are BUILDING AN UNDERGROUND TUNNEL from the JC Penney plaza to the KMart plaza to make traffic easier. WHAT?! an underground tunnel?!?! really?! that's how your going to fix this problem??? nope. it won't work.

the problem isn't people wanting to get from KMart to JC Penney - the problem is people wanting to get to VERMONT. there are not enough left hand turn lanes. the road simply isn't wide enough to support all that traffic.

THEY NEED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN LANE FOR PEOPLE GETTING TO VERMONT. it's not that people are crowding the streets to get to ONE STORE, it's that they are trying to get back to THEIR STATE!!!!!

save the money on the underground tunnel.

but, they've already started building it. i saw the beginnings of it today. will it solve some traffic problems? probably. but it will make the parking lots more dangerous and crowded.

anyways. NOW do you see that there really is a traffic problem?? yes. there is.

BUT - yesterday i was watching a huge crane transfer dirt from this giant pile into a truck, and it was so graceful! i loved it. and then i decided that there needs to be a Crane Ballet. of all cranes and machines set to beautiful music.


POINT #2:

from what i hear, there is a buzz going around Los Angeles today, and that buzz is from the Crash Kings show last night at The Roxy. i guess they were amazing, as usual. i watched some videos on youtube and it looked quite incredible. they played their cover of 'Hey Bulldog' which they had never played live before, and also their 'Evolution of Rock Guitar' which they had never played live before.

David Cook went to the show with his whole band. Zach Braff was there with the other guy from Scrubs.

and then apparently there was an AFTER PARTY with even more celebs. AFTER PARTY. there better be a freaking after party that i get invited to one of these days.

AND THEN - Zach Braff went home and wrote this on his facebook page:

"Just saw "The Crash Kings" at the Roxy in LA... When they become huge, don't say I didn't tell you.... :)"

YEP. he said that. me and Zach Braff are just trying to do the same things in life, and that is try to get people to listen to Crash Kings.

i couldn't believe it when he wrote that.

and then the #CrashQueens had a twitter discussion on how famous the band is becoming and how everyone is sad because they're no longer "our band." but happy of course, because they are becoming so successful.

like next week when they are just going to fly to their gig in boston while their crew drives 'Ol Blue across the country.

aahhhhh fame.


anyways. those are my two points. it's 9:35pm on friday night. Ruby Tuesday is crying at the door. she wants to go out. i let her go in the hallway tonight because i'm doing laundry. but, she can't have just a taste - she wants the whole pie.

yep. that's the expression i just used.

alright. i hope you all are having a great night.

i'm driving up to Scarborough, Maine tomorrow to go to a PARTY!! yes. A PARTY. a birthday party for my friend Jenn's landlord's roommate, who might also be his cousin. and Jenn's sister Tammy is also going! they are my oldest friends. in years known, not in ages. i've known them ever since i was a baby. great friends.

i hope i can get to bed early tonight so that i can get up early tomorrow. i am feeling pretty tired today.

alright! again, have a lovely evening and i'll talk to everyone later!!!!
