Four signs you're a bad friend...

1. When your friend invites you and the rest of your group to a party at his apartment on Friday.

2. Then you go to the bar almost every day, to "live it up" before the big-girl job starts next week.

3. Then, you tell your other friend it's a good idea that he has a party on Friday.

4. Then when your first friend tells you he's having a party, you ask why you haven't been invited, and slowly realize it's because you've been drunk all week and have short-term amnesia.

I'm sorry, Aldie. Have fun tonight. Let's do Grand Slam tomorrow. I swear I won't forget.

One gripe and three goodies.

Gripe: Sprint. Dealt with customer service on the phone three times about the exact same situation, and each time was given the runaround. Damn - I hope T-Mobile will pay my early termination fee so I can switch to them.

Goodie One: Jodi Picoult's "My Sister's Keeper." I was up 'til 3:30 in the morning finishing it last night, sobbing so hard I could hardly read the past page. A friend of mine said she read another of Picoult's novels and hated it, but I can only speak for this one.

Goodie Two: The new Quietdrive album. Okay, so I'm a little late. It has been out for a good two weeks, but I swear it's worth the buy. You can get it on iTunes - or if you like dealing with the actual physical album (which I've started to avoid), it's also at Best Buy. And they're not playing again in Minneapolis (at least a public show) until August, so you have a good two months to learn all the words and wear polka dots and get drunk and crazy at the show.

Goodie Three: The new Dropping Daylight album. This one has been less than a week. If you haven't heard about them yet, you will. They're most commonly compared to Ben Folds for the piano rock, but DD's a bit more... What did Hawthorne Heights say? Pissed off, I think. At least preview a couple songs on iTunes. You won't be disappointed. (Unless you don't have good taste in music. Then... You might be disappointed.) Best part - Sebastian, Seth and Rob are from the suburbs of Minneapolis.

Fitting, right?

Happy graduation to me.

I knew my mom was rad even before she took a Jello shot with me... And then started cracking up and spit a chunk of it on my forehead.

I love it.

This is a brilliant idea for a blog.

I almost forgot!

I'm really hoping this is true. Sprint hasn't been terrible, but I'm really sick of signing online to text message, and paying for the internet when I can barely load any pages anyway.

T-Mobile, here I come. Just hurry up.

Whoops.

Good thing we don't have any readers, otherwise some people might be a little pissed off that neither of us have updated for over a month.

We've both been pretty busy, I guess. Aldie just moved into a new apartment downtown, but will be in Arizona all of July working at a venue there, so he's still spending most of his nights at his parents' in the suburbs. And I'm still living at home too - but I just got a job in Minnetonka, so I'm sure I'll move out there relatively soon.

In the last few weeks, I've decided that if I'm going to bars "downtown," I'd much rather go to St. Paul than Minneapolis. I'm not much for the clubbin' crowd anymore, nor the pretentiousness of the downtown Minneapolis business folk, still in their three-piece suits drinking $9 martinis. The Wild Onion and Billy's are my new favorites - mostly because the crowds are closer to my age, and people in St. Paul don't try to be something they... well... aren't.

Tonight I'm going to a show at the Fine Line where my friend's band is playing. Then I think the plan is Aldie's apartment on Friday, unlimited Laser Tag at Grand Slam on Saturday, and Warped Tour on Sunday. For as long as I've been listening to the types of bands that play at Warped Tour, I've never actually gone. So, it should be good.
