um, AWESOME!!

UNANIMOUS. well, almost unanimous. about the clothing choice. EVERYBODY chose the brown dress with white cardigan - WHICH I'M WEARING RIGHT NOW.

We had a total of 8 votes. 7 people chose the brown outfit and 1 person chose the brown, orange and teal plaid dress.




That's right now!!! Like, just a minute ago I took that. I would have a full photo shoot, but I'm at work right now and want to appear professional. Even though there's nobody else here.

ANYWAYS,

THANK YOU for helping me choose my outfit for today! I admit, it was not what I would have chosen, and it surprised me that everybody picked it! And I haven't worn this dress in a long time. So, it's good that everybody picked it. I'm wearing it and thinking, 'why haven't I worn this dress in so long?' And now I remember that I like it, and will wear it more often! Great!

We leave for court in like, 45 minutes.


Anyways. Here's something else exciting!

So, the night last week where I watched all the episodes of Bored to Death, there was one episode that caught my eye. (i mean, they were all eye catching, as they all starred Jason Schwartzman.)

But! The 5th episode, 'The Case of the Lonely White Dove, in which Jonathan investigates his case out on Brighton Beach in this Russian nightclub, was particularly inspiring.

At one point, Jonathan (played by Jason Schwartzman) calls his ex girlfriend to invite her out to the nightclub because she has always wanted to go to Brighton Beach. His girlfriend, Suzanne (played by Olivia Thirlby) is shown here, answering his phone call while out walking her dog.

Now, please look very closely at the pictures, as there is something most awesome to notice.





and NO - it's not her totally hott, fashion forward HOTT PINK TRENCH COAT. It's her totally great PURPLE NAIL POLISH. I know it's super hard to see, but it's there. And it's awesome.

I saw it and thought, "HOLY CRAP why don't I have awesome purple nail polish?!!" I have a light purple shade, which is what I was currently wearing, but I didn't have a great shade like hers. So, I went out and bought some! And I'm wearing it now, and it's great.

Yep. I love that show. Can't wait for season 2!


So, last night I set my phone alarm clock for 7am, because I had to be at work by 8am. And, I finally fall asleep around 4am. Lame.

Did my phone alarm go off? No. No it did not go off. So, I woke up at exactly 8am! The time I was supposed to be at work. GREAT. It made me momentarily very stressed out. But, at least I knew what I was going to wear! I rushed getting ready, but still had time to straighten my hair. I THOUGHT I had turned on my coffee pot to make coffee, but I didn't.

So, I don't even have coffee. I think I'll stop on my way to Brattleboro.

But - yet another reason why I dislike my phone. WHY is the alarm so sketch? Or, the better question is why do I keep trusting that it will work when I need to be awake for important things?? Yeah, that doesn't make sense.

Hm. So yeah. I have my CD player alarm clock with me. What I should do, is burn a lullaby CD so I can play that in the CD player and then use my iPod alarm clock, which works great. Yeah. I should do that. Change my set up.

UUGGHHH I'm kind of DREADING going to court. I haven't been in such a long time. Probably a year. It just always makes me so nervous.

OH OH OH OH!!!!!! I HAVE TO TELL YOU ANOTHER AWESOME THING!!!!!!! Yeah, SO AWESOME. OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT TO TELL YOU.

I got yet another awesome tweet from awesome people!!!!! From who, you ask?

BLOOD FEATHERS!!!!!! The totally great Philadelphia band who opened for Crash Kings when Ryan and I saw them in Philadelphia!




(We're headed to Boston in October. Help us get the word out. Love the Sweet Tea pic.)


AAHHHHHH SOOOO AWESOME!!!! A while back (like, early May, I think) I had sent them a picture of a sweet tea I bought because I felt like one after listening to their song, 'Sweet Tea.' Love it! But, I haven't tweeted them since! Yeah, that's pretty awesome.

So, I'm gonna start now:

BOSTON. OCTOBER 7. BLOOD FEATHERS AT THE ROYALE.

Oh, I'm totally gonna get the word out. Remember when I had that 'Crash Kings on Jimmy Kimmel' sign at the top of this blog to promote Crash Kings on TV? I think I may construct a sign for Blood Feathers. I'm so excited!!

I also thought about putting up posters in Boston. But, it's a bit too early for that. Anyways - they can count on me. And maybe Ryan will help too!! Since, she'll actually BE in Boston.

So awesome.

Anyways, I should get going. It's 9:58am. We're leaving in like, 15 minutes.

I hope everyone has a great day! Please think of me when I'm freaking out in court. I'm working until 6pm, so I'm sure I'll talk to you later.

Until then, take care!!! Be well!! Stay cool!!


love, Julie
