Apr. 15th, 2008 09:06 amI am so tired. The show last night at the House of Blues was a private party for am/pm employees, sponsored in part by Guitar Hero III. There was a Guitar Hero showdown before Ok Go played, and it took FOREVER. Six rounds of "Cult of Personality" alone. Ack. But it was a good time. The show was free for BP managers and supervisors, and since no one else from the Scientist's brother's station was going, he gave us the extra tickets. So I got to see Ok Go in the HOB's Back Porch venue, which is tiny to begin with, and by the time the band started there were probably only about 120 people there. It was a good time. Plus we got our drinks and dinner comped by BP, so it all worked out well for us.
We didn't get home till after midnight, and I was exhausted. I had really weird dreams where I basically created an entire episode of Sex and the City in my head. Samantha had promised a gay couple she knew that she'd have their baby for them, and when they wanted to collect on her promise she freaked out. Elsewhere, Carrie's friend Jack Black (yes, the actor) made a bet with someone and said if he lost he'd have sex with a horse. Honestly, these are my dreams. Of course, Jack lost the bet and when he was faced with said horse, he freaked out. Carrie told him not to have a cow. "Or should I say, a horse?" Har har har. God, my brain makes bad puns. The worst part of my dream? It even had opening credits and the title card, which read: "Pony Up." Har har har.
Why do I dream crap like that???
In other news, yesterday my parents came to town for a quick visit. Mom and Dad came in, and they helped me finish off the last of the wedding favors. So we have those all boxed up and ready to take to the reception hall tomorrow. Then Dad went out to run errands (visit the tax guy and get his records from the hospital), and Mom and I went on adventures. We headed up to the reception hall to drop off the final payment for the party this weekend. Gus (the guy who runs the place) is just so helpful and nice. And he even got white roses for the tables, since my mom mentioned to him that it would match our color theme better. Thanks, Gus! So now I have to get all the table assignments put on the placecards, and then alphabetized. Tomorrow I'm heading back to the reception hall to drop off all of the stuff for the actual reception. I can't believe it's only four days away...
After that, Mom and I went to the mall, where she insisted on buying me some lingerie for the honeymoon. A bit creepy, but I got some cute stuff. Then we wandered around until it was time for her dress fitting. Mom bought me a bracelet that goes with my earrings for the wedding, and I picked up a funky purple Anne Klein ring for $10. I also bought a pair of teal earrings which are just lovely, and match the dress I'll wear for "formal night" on the cruise. Mom fell in love with the earrings, so I'm going to box them up for her for Mother's Day. I don't think she'll mind if I've worn them once already; we're always swapping jewelry back and forth. Anyway, from there we went to the dress department at Von Maur where Mom's mother-of-the-bride dress was being altered. She's got a lovely dress, and she's so happy about it. I'm really pleased that she's got something pretty to wear.
Anyway, that was my yesterday. My today will consist of trying to set up the router so that my computer can have Internet access (finally!), doing a quick freelance job, and then doing the placecards for the reception. Otherwise, that's it.
Sorry I've been so out of touch with everyone. I do read my flist every other day or so, but I haven't been commenting. But I am trying to keep tabs on y'all! I'm glad so many of you are doing well.
