Woo, Weekend! Happy weekend! I just love apple rings, ("dried" apples, they are kind of moist and chewy). Labor day rules. No work on Monday. I am definately more appreciative of holidays now. In high school you get every other day off for some silly reason. The days are drastically less in the working world. I love the days off so much more. I feel like I am getting something special.

In high school I hardly attended classes. But I did not "skip", fuck that, I just did not go. In college I made every single class but one. I only missed one hour of college. With work I am the same way, I don't miss a day unless it is scheduled. I have only called out once when I shut my thumb in the car door (it was only a half day that I missed to boot!) What is the point in all of this? I don't really know, I just went off on a silly rampage.

Will some one shut me up? Maybe its the coffee... I need help Please! I would like some imput, if you could get rid of one of my skins which would it be? I want to keep the number low, I want to make more. I think my limit will be ten at any given time. But I want to be happy with all of them and I would like you all to be happy with most of them... Feedback please.

Friday! Tomorrow is Friday, but not payday. I was okay with this getting paid every two weeks deal. However for some strange reason now I am not okay with it. I am so close to cutting up my credit cards so I don't use them anymore.

Two minutes later: Hell I just cut up three of them: Chase, MBNA, and Best Buy (which I only got to get my 52 inch television - 18 months no intrest, hell yeah!). I am keeping my Old Navy card because they always have such bargins. I am keeping my Amex card because I just love Amex. I am also keeping my Capital One mastercard because not everyone takes Amex. I would get rid of them all but I enjoy online shopping and its difficult to get tickets without a card. I just store them neatly out of my site to avoid silly spending!

I think we had the same morning! (okay i tried the track back thing, but it didnt work... read here.)

No one needs to know... Hell I am sure that none of you want to know this but I just farted and I am grossing myself out so I must leave...

Klutz. So today at work we had a little birthday party for a coworker. I was in charge of cutting up the ice cream cake and passing it out. Right... Good idea. One piece fell upside down on the floor. So I quickly grab it and throw it in the garbage! There is now a blue mark on the floor where the icing was...

I got so flustered because I was also making a mess on the table. So I went to get some paper towels. On the way back to clean up I almost knock over a very important person. I yell "Ooops" and jump ten feet back. When telling my coworkers my explaination of the story was funnier yet... "I almost knocked over the very important person that we call Geri"! What the hell?!? As soon as I said it I started laughing my ass off and everyone in the room cracks up as well... Who the hell speaks like that? I guess I do when its the end of the day and I want to go home.

We've got it simple... Cause we're got a band and we've got cymbals in the band! Doot doot... I don't know if I mentioned how much I love the Jam Band's radio. But let me tell you I love Jam Band's radio. It makes me so happy...

Oh yeah, just so you know Blockbuster can go suck a nut. I just hate them and now I hate them even more. This stupid $22.95 a month for unlimited rentals (up to three at a time) with no late fees is dumb. Yeah it's a great deal espically if you hate going to the theaters. I used to love to go to the movies but lately it is just a hastle. People are rude and loud and tall and in my way... I thought the drive in would be better but the last time I went there some stupid bitch left her car Lincoln Navigator running the entire time! I politely asked her to turn off her vechile for many different reasons "We are allergic to the air" was the response I received. What?! Well then why are you here? And she had the air conditioner on the entire time to boot! It wasn't even hot out - we had to cover up and snuggle! Anyway back to my point- I hate Blockbuster but I am now in the automatic monthly dvd renewal club. No late fees, three at a time, unlimited rentals - an awesome deal that I love but... Fuck You Blockbuster!

Overwhelmed. All I can say is thank God that I don't have to work tomorrow. Today was a day that I can't even describe. I got completely worked up over nothing. I am so glad to be sitting here in my star-spangled boxer shorts and my old tie-dyed horde shirt. I could only ask for one more thing - my honey in the other room yelling at his video game.

I must be a link slut, Laura shared with us the final meal requests of death row inmate in Texas. This is strange and interesting all at the same time. I don't know what to feel when I read this, I mean its interesting to know what some one wanted to taste before they die. But c'mon these people are dead!

On to another subject: I got some weird snail mail today. Ben and Jerry's ice cream each month for a year. Long distance = ice cream? I just don't get it. But let me say that I am an ice cream junkie and I would love to try One Sweet Whirled. It sounds like I would be in heaven...

I don't know why I am reading this thing. It is making me sick to see people like this and the sick freak wanted 1 dozen fried eggs (over easy), 1 loaf of bread, a bowl of salad dressing, french fries, and milk (3 cartons) as his last meal.

Shedding. Noah sheds, he sheds like a mutherfucker. Two days ago i did extensive cleaning. I vacummed everything. Under the bed, over the bed, under the dressers, over the dressers, in our shoes! You heard my correctly I had to vacumm out our shoes. The dog's hair gets everywhere! Just thought I would share that with you all, I love him to death but damn does he shed.

On another note, does anyone have an organizer that they just can't live without? I would like to get something small but it needs to be big enough to hold my check book, savings account book, a date book, and a calander. But keep in mind that I want it to be really portable. Does anyone have anything that fits this description, or could you tell me where to find something like what I described.

For you honey. I think that you will enjoy this article honey.

Back to work. Here are some short little updates all about me!
  1. My thumb nail is starting to flake off, in the middle. I slammed it in a door mid-June.
  2. No more three day weeks. The last two weeks were short due to fesitvals.
  3. Fuck popcap.com i am addicted to their games and recently keep getting "disconnected" mid game.
  4. We now have a coffee pot in my office (which I share with about 8 other people) at work. It feels groovey to pour a cup of coffee instead of buying one each day.
  5. I am okay with how much the berkfest sucked because the gathering on the mountain was that damn good.
  6. I have redecorated a wall because I was at a store and saw the posters for only $8 each (mounted on wood-type substance) and I was getting extremely frustrated with the room. I also spray painted the coffee table black and will be putting some sliver decor and stickers all over it.

Screw you. I did not even get into the article. First of all I do not eat fast food, so go screw yourself Canada.

On a happier note the gathering on the mountain was the bomb! (Or you can insert your personal favorite cheesy expression for goodness here.) When we finally got there DBB was on, I am just a little sad that we didn't catch them from the start but what I saw was wonderful and we were right up front! The hotel was only $100 a night for three people, it was less than ten minutes from the show, there was no dust, they sold pitchers of beer (shorter beer lines! and you miss less of the show!). In short it was fucking wonderful and only $25 a day!

Terrapin Presents sent us a post card with a picture of the vibes on it, what a great shot! It is copyrighted, so I may have to ask some questions to see if I can post it here.

Mini Vacation. Well I am going to another show! Yippie! I am so very excited, hell I need to get directions and I need to pack. Packing should not take long at all because we are staying in a hotel - the campgrounds near by had no vacant spaces. They did have overflow based on a first come first serve basis but I am not about to go somewhere and have no place to stay.

Agreed. I agree with Laura, Fuck Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! And just to add:
The band plans to schedule additional tour dates later in 2003 and will likely record an album sometime next year as well.
Oh, Damn Rosalie, why did you have to tell me about this?

This is another reason why Laura is groovey.

Why Berkfest Sucks. Berkfest vs. The Vibes
  1. Too Much Dust - resulting in me sneezing a lot and having black boogers. (the vibes watered down the road ever so slightly to avoid clouds of dust.)
  2. Too little space - because we got there so late we had to search for a spot. The only one we found with any hope of fitting three tents did only that. It fit three tents - no room to sit around and chill. (at the vibes we had more than enough room.
  3. Too Many Cops - resulting in massive freakouts all around due to drugs, fence-jumpers and fights. (at the vibes the bikers regulated.)
  4. Too Expensive - to me the bands were okay but they didn't make me wear my "oh oh" face and we were only there for two days @ $246 for two tickets. (the line up at the vibes gave me chills.)
  5. Too Many Freaky Hippies - never in my life have I seen so many fucking weirdos doing stupid shit. (at the vibes everyone was so laid back)
  6. Too Many people Fucked Up on Drugs - never have I seen so many people looking so out of their minds. (there were tons of families and kids at the vibes & if there were people on drugs they were much more discrete about it)
  7. Too Short - even though it was sucky it was only two days long. (the vibes lasted four days.)

Whats your name? Time for cheesy internet fun. My porn name is Missy Sweets. What is yours?
Posted at 03:50 PM
Damn. I must admit that I love, not wait I LOVE the radio station that jambands.com set up. Right now I am jamming to DBB's Getchall '98. If you know me then you know that I am in my seventh heaven when I hear this song.

And why have I never heard of Robert Bradley until today?

I won't do it. I am not getting involved.

I am not the judge.

I am not the parent.

I am not the mediator.

I am not anything but some one that is not involved.

They can fight all they need to.

They can act childish all they want to.

They can do anything but get me involved.

I have no opinion.

I will have no opinion.

I will not take sides.

They can do anything but get me involved.

Considering. I have been told that I need a new name for my website. It should read wiseassbitch.com instead of phunkystew. I think I like it! You all should check out this hot new group I discovered, and don't tell me if you have heard of them before- let me bask in my own glory.

It snuck up on me. Thats right, the Berkfest came out of no where. I was expecting the vibes since about February, but I wake up this morning and realize "hey, we have to leave at 5:30am tomorrow." This time we have an air mattress. We are camping in style this time too bad it is only for one night. No one could get Friday off, so we are just two-day-ers this year.

Eric is a sweetheart, he got directions off of mapquest so I didn't have to. Oh that reminds me I need to find a place to stay for the gathering at the Poconos. We may have to get a hotel room for that concert, the local camp ground requires a three night stay and we just can't do that. Two weekends of music in a row! I don't know what I am going to do with myself.

A cheesey Movie. On Tuesday night Eric and I went to our friend Katie's house. I brought a bottle of wine that Katie and I split, Eric brought some gourmet beer from the emporium. We hung out for a while and had a really good time. In the begining of the evening the girls were at the computer and the men were playing with playstation 2.

Later on in the evening we went outside on her back deck. Mike started to play his guitar. We all sat in a circle groovin to the live tunes and chitchatting with each other now and again. Mike played a lot of his own songs which were awesome. In fact I want a copy when he puts them on disc. But he also played some covers- Pink Flloyd's Wish You Were Here made me feel like I was in a cheesey movie. We were all in a circle singing along together. It was really simple but it was a night to remember.

SERIOUS TORNADO ADVISORY SERIOUS TORNADO ADVISORY: I nearly had a heart attack when I read that. It was just an announcement from phish.com telling me about Pork Tornado's new album. Geepers.

In other news I really wish I could do this, eh well maybe in about two years...

Posted at 05:49 PM
Finally. Today I got my order from Amazon.com that I had placed on June 24. Damn that took a long time. I have placed orders since that date and have already gotten those. Geepers (my coworker enjoys that word and it may become a regular in my vocabulary too). I can't believe that it is almost time to go to the berkfest. Time just flies, and I did not realize that it was this close. I should start getting things together for the trip.

Andy Warhol Okay so I have been considering to make a skin in the style of Andy Warhol for a while now, guess what today is? His birthday! google.com proves once again to be my favorite search engine.

Hey now... I am getting a little bit excited about the berkfest. I just love any kind of outdoor concert / camping trip. Amazon.com is starting to go a little crazy. I placed an order on June 24 they shipped it yesterday. I bought cds. Nothing too exotic, and they shipped them over a month later. Damn.

Now I know that I said that I need to stop spending money. But my desk was a mess. Let me explain: My monitor and key board are sitting on what is a small table, I have three chairs for it- it used to be in a restaurant. My cpu is next to this table on a thirty dollar stand that I bought which has two shelves and of course the top is shelf space as well. My printer is on the top of that and my paper work/printer paper is taking up space on the shelves. So all of my other junk was piled where I could fit it. I was in need of drawers; calculaters cannot just lie around!

So being the diva (haha!) that I am I went to target to see what could remedy my problem. Take a look at the tacky solution. I was even thinking of getting an extra set of drawers to put underneath it however my middle name is not moneybags.

I am such a cry baby... I have read silly email forwards many many times. Half of the ones I get I don't even read. In fact I have gotten so many of them that they repeat themselves, I have already read the one that I will be posting to this site. I read it the first time and felt tingly. This time I read it and cried. Not the "Oh Lord why?" kind of cry but the tears in my eye what a stupid bitch that waitress was kind of cry.

I think my current job has made me even more sympathetic to people. Not to customers but to the people that work with me at the job. I listen to the phone calls they take and my heart goes out to them when they have Mrs. Iliketobitchalot on the phone. I go and give them a pat on the back, or write them a silly little note "That lady was a jerk-face" just to make them feel a little bit better... Anyway enough rambling check out the story by clicking: In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it. "Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now, more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. "Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table, and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies. You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.

Mad Props, Yo! Did you check out the "gangsta" lingo in the title of this post? I must share the awesome-ness of the truley awesome bathroom wall that Anathea and her friend did. When I have a bathroom of my own some day I hope to make something just as beautiful.

I must stop shopping... Camelopardalis is on the way. Only $12.98! woot. It would have been only ten bucks at the show... oh well. I also picked up a red and a blue, I already have a white one that I use at work. Now Eric has one and so do I for our night stands. No more paying $.075 a day at work for a water bottle. I now drink for free!
Posted at 09:14 PM
August rocks. Why does August rock? Because we are going to two concerts this month! Yippie! And I think that amazon.com is on crack or something because I ordered some cds the end of june and they have not yet been shipped. Crazy huh?

You know our love will not fade away...
