Hey hey. I’ve got insomnia. But it’s all good. 1am is really not all that early afterall. Especially now knowing I missed a good party just a couple weeks ago when I decided to go to bed at 4:15am. I like staying up late. I like it a great deal. I also like sleeping. Bretty likes sleeping a lot and he goes to bed early.
Except now in some sort of karmic joke on me, I can’t even blog because typepad is down. Oh, they warned us, yes they did. But you never know when the writing bug is going to strike. Damn it, it had to be now when I’m feeling open and available to push my thoughts out for all to read. What’s a girl going to do?
I don’t know why exactly it’s so hard for me to get words out these days. Some desire to be profound I suppose. Makes for heavy fingers for sure. That, and discovering crow’s feet laugh lines symbols of wisdom signs of aging.
Omg, to further confirm my geekhood and earning for fantasy, I finally just last night got done with the 2nd season of B.G. and I’m salivating at the thought of the season 3 premiere just a handful of weeks away. I think I even woke up having some sort of dream related to settling on a new and harsh planet. In fact, what am I doing blogging when I could be watching the ten webisodes online?
Check it out, bedjump.com. It makes me laugh and they liked my photo. I love those 2 girls in the photo, too. They inspire me. So fresh so sassy!

Grandma died today, September 13th 2006, around 5:30pm. I didn’t find out until around 9pm. We visited her on Friday the 9th of September. That’s her in the middle, surrounded by my sister April, my Mom & me.
She’s been sick for a long time. We knew it was coming. Still it’s sad and I feel helpless and frustrated. I wish I could have been there. I wish I could have known sooner. I wish my mother could sleep tonight.
I love you Grandma.

It’s pretty much been a blur, these last few days. And when you compare my partying and staying-up-lateness to that of most of the people we’ve been hanging around since Saturday, you’d call me a granma. Oh, I had such intentions of blogging from the road and posting awesome pictures of the shows. Instead, I’ve pretty much been just trying to stay awake during at least a few of the daylight hours.
Monday night’s show (uh, bjm of course) was great. They were solid, though Frankie was wasted and for a while there I wasn’t sure if he’d finish the set. Somehow he pulled it together though, & at 9am the following morning, he was drinking vodka with the girls across the hall of our hotel.
People in bands stay up late and drink a lot. And do a lot of other things, too.
Tuesday night I had my most rock star moment. It was not, however, without much stress. Somehow we did not make it on the guest list and we’d already given our tickets away to Tiger & Allison. A small heart attack ensued on my part. Ah, but then Collin Hegna saved the day - he’s the bass player of bjm - and whisked us in as part of his entourage I suppose. It was quite glamorous for sure. Except at the time I was irritated and couldn’t really enjoy it.
Portland tonight!! This time with the Dandys. My sister’s here and I hope we can all stay awake long enough to go to the afterparty for at least a few minutes.
I’ll try to get some more photos up soon!!
