long weekend
Friday - After work Sara and I met my parents at the mall. I went into Yankee Candle because it's become apparent to me, that my house doesn't always smell great. Unfortunately, Yankee Candles is kind of a sensory overload and everything I put up to my nose smelled like ten different things. I'm gonna have to buy my candles at Target or Wal Mart, where the candles represent a breif respite from the odor of your fellow shoppers instead of one element out of a cacophany of heady smells. From the mall, Sara, the Connies and I went and got some ribs. They were delicious but one of my fillings was hurting me throughout dinner, so I didn't really enjoy myself. Took Sara back to her house after dinner because she had to open the next day. I hung out long enough to apply some Oragel to my tooth and pretend that my whole mouth was numb and let water run down my cheek onto my shirt. That's commitment to a bit!
Saturday - Volunteered at St. Awesome's as video switcher. After church went out with Intern Charlie to get a beer. Took him to Shamrock's. Intern Charlie is a cool guy. Also, he took my side in the heated debate between Sara and I over whether or not Water's Edge by Seven Mary Three is actually a really awesome song (it is, by the way).
Sunday - Volunteered at St. Awesome's again. After church went to Shamrock's AGAIN. This time for P.Dirty's birthday celebration. It was me, Dirty, Sara, GG, Jennifer, Intern Charlie, and the Cranfills. We had a good time. Dirty's plan was to stay all day, up through the UK vs. U of L game. Which he did. Sara and I wussed out, though, and went back to my place for a nap. We stopped in to check on him about 8:00. He seemed to be having fun. And by fun I mean alcohol poisoning.
Monday - Sara and I went over to ET's parent's house for lunch. Food was great. We were supposed to swim, but all of a sudden September feels like October. We were also gonna play Boche Ball but Vlad lost one of the balls. VLAD, YOU RUINED EVERYTHING! Later that day Sara and I met my parents, my brother and sister-in-law, and my nephews for dinner. Soon after that I took Sara home so I could go to bed early as I've been a little under-the-weather. I think I have cat measels.
I have found Sara to have excellent taste in just about every area of life, whether it be music, television, movies, food, or boyfriends. She apparently has some sort of blind-spot when it comes to this song, though. I suspect some mild form of brain-damage may be to blame.
Bret? Can you help me out on this one?
Ooh, this'll be interesting. I'm guessing in his heart of hearts Bret probably likes the song, but now that Sara's playing the whole "damsel in distress" card, who knows where he'll go...
Are you effin' kidding me? You like "Water's Edge" by Seven effin' Mary Three? That song is total crap. First off, it's common knowledge that you can't like any band that has a number in there band name: Matchbox 20, Three Non-Blondes, Blink 182, etc...Number in your band name = sucking hard! And Seven Mary Three has two different numbers in there name so they suck double hard! And besides, that song sounds like the worst Counting Crows song ever....wait, now I understand why you like it. Never the less, the song is total radio pap. Sara's right, you’re wrong, what's new?
Okay, see, Bret's opinion on this matter could have almost been considered damning, until he tipped his hand and showed his total disconnect with reality.
Whatever problem someone may have with Water's Edge, it does not in any way sound like any song Counting Crows ever.
You, sir, are a fool and know nothing about music or pleasing a woman.
That second bit there didn't have anything to do with the topic at hand. I've just heard stuff.
I rest my case
You rest your case? He just said it sounded like the worst Counting Crows song ever! Are you really sure you wanna throw in with a retarded opinion like that?
Bret knows more about music and pleasing a woman that you ever will buddy.
That second bit had nothing to do with the topic at hand. I've just heard stuff.
Someone is clearly impersonating my girlfriend now.
I rest MY case!
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Counting Crows. I don't see any numbers in that do you?
There doesn't have to be any numbers. Bret said they sucked and the Seven Mary Three song sounded like their worst song ever.
Also, there's no numbers but there is the word "counting."
Also, you like a Third Eye Blind song.
Alright you two....kiss and make up. Come on, it's OK. There that's better. Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I submitted my ballot for Ace Weekly's Best in Lex awards and I nominated you two as "Best Power Couple". So demonstrate your power somehow so I don't look stupid.
How's destroying the Easter seaboard sound?
Also, I hope you nominated PatchWorks in the book section.
"Patchdrury.com... we argue online more before 10:00am, than most people do all day."
SevenMaryThree's "Water's Edge" is a really awesome song. Counting Crows rocks... and whether bands that have numbers in their names rock, or are just watered down crowd pleasers, you can't discount the artistry and talent...
well, you can... but that just makes you a music bigot.
Did you know Counting Crows was originally Counting Crows 69?
Its science.
I can't believe this is the topic that has finally brought everyone out of the woodwork.
How about next we discuss the overlooked genius of the late 90's sitcom Herman's Head?
Music bigot? I think not. Music snob? Without a doubt! But, I’m usually right 97.3% of the time. The other 2.7% my comments are too intelligent for most people to understand.
You totally are a music bigot. And River's Edge is the Rosa Parks of music. Now leave her alone and let her keep her seat!!
Actually now that I think about it, Rosa Parks by Outkast would probably be the Rosa Parks of music. Now that's an undeniably awesome song.
Race relations are hard.
The fat guy in Herman's Head was the idiot that couldn't stop drilling the asteroid in Armageddon.
My music tastes are terrible. I'm 100% right about that!
Wow that is a cheap shot. I am not bringing up all the bad music you like and your the one who chose to post on your blog about your crappy music taste so lets leave mine out of it!
I like U2. Comments???
I love U2. I even like their latest album, but it took me a little while to get into it.
1. Your music taste does suck, but it sucks in a very populist sort of way that isn't so bad.
2. Aaaww baby, don't be mad.
3. I used to really dig U2. Achtung Baby is one of the greatest albums ever. I haven't liked much they've done since then.
Sara - It took me a while to get used to the new album as well, but I like it a lot. I do like thier older stuff better.
To all - For those that don't know me, I have terrible taste in music. Leave me open for ridicule, but I embrace it. It helps me rise above the average music listener when I play those pop culture games. Useless knowledge is my specialty.
I just wanted to point out that U2 has a number in the band title. I'm looking at you Colonel. You said you can't like a band with a number in thier title. However, on your blog, you posted a list of the best songwriters of all time on July 25, 2006. U2 was listed right in between R.E.M and Radiohead. You went on to finish up the post by saying "this is only a representation of my tastes". So since you are right 97.3% of the time, and the other 2.7% I can't understand, where does this fall under???
Other than that, Patrick...sounds like you had a wicked great and action packed weekend.
Oh SNAP!! James just took the Colonel down!!
JC - There is an exception to every rule. As a general rule, I would say that the guys at MWK are really cool, however you were there and you were the exception. See how it works.
And besides the number "2" in U2 doesn't really stand as a number on its own...it's married to the "U" which actually changes its status from a number to an acronym. That's totally different.
1. Your contortionist act to get around James' point is shameful. I expect better from you.
2. I'm pretty sure Aquaman is drunk, but he also has a point with Ben Folds Five and The Jackson Five.
Turn in your badge.
I admit Bens Fold Five is another exception. But Jackson 5 is a singing group with a kid lead singer and that automatically disqualifies them from being a great band. Also, to be a band, more than one person has to play an instrument. I seem to remember only one guy (Tito?) carrying a bass.
