I SUCK

I've abandoned the blog....I know, I suck. But I have an excuse...I always do. :)
I have an hour worth of ridiculous road trip footage that I need to edit. I've been trying to use the editing software on Guy's computer, but it's very new and different to me. I promise, I'll get a segment up this weekend.

Things to look forward to in the road trip episodes:
  • In and Out of Vegas in an hour or less
  • Goofing around in the Grand Canyon
  • Road Trip Games: such as, The Dirty Alphabet Game and Vocal Warmups
  • Pappy and his crystal ball on Route 66
  • And my personal favorite...having dinner at a Mexican restaurant next to the Days Inn, observing a middle school birthday party doing the Cha Cha Slide on the dance floor. Random and weird. (Totally reminded me of the time on the Magic Carpet Time Tour when John Foss and I crashed a high school prom in the middle of nowhere. God, we were ballsy.)

So far I'm liking Nashville, except for the fact that our pipes froze in our log cabin yesterday, which meant no shower for me.

I went to see Celine Dion on Tuesday. It was great. I worked my "concert gypsy" magic and scored a $10 ticket and walked my way to the floor. You know how I roll...and then brag about it. :)



Tonight, Guy and I are going to see Reel Big Fish.

Okay, I need your opinion:

Should Guy and I move into a High Rise Apartment Downtown (this is probably the only city we'll be able to afford one in) or should we go for a cottage type apartment?

Comment, and let me know...

Just a Few More Hours...




I finally got some free WiFi action at this hole of a Days Inn that we are staying at in West Memphis, Arkansas. Memphis, TN was out of our pitiful budget. Guy has done an amazing job driving, and we are only a couple hundred miles from Nashville. I can't believe how packed the car is. We left so much random stuff behind in the apartment lobby: painting supplies, a keyboard, my funky blue loveseat - and so much more. I give that stuff 2 hours...someone will pick it up.

I'm not going to lie...it's freakin' cold- and I've been sick the entire journey, but it's been fun none the less. I'm currently losing my mind because I haven't been able to check email since I left. Just checked it. Apparently, Mary has a very important project for me that needs to be done ASAP, and she hasn't been able to get in touch with me. Thank God for Michael and the reps. Hopefully, my computer will show up tomorrow.

Well, Guy's getting annoyed with my blogging, so I gotta get ready. We're going to drive by Graceland today. We woke up this morning with raised upper lips and a craving for peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Weird.

Just Dance

Special Dedication to J.Q.:
I wish Lady Gaga was big during my wedding. If you went, you know that I had string quartet versions of Guns N Roses, Elton John, and Queen playing before and during the ceremony.



PS. I've made myself sick stressing out about this move to Nashville. OMG - 2 days!

Will You Stay Here And Rock My World?



It's that time of the year again - Rock of Love. This is the 3rd season, and Brett is taking the girls on tour, and he said in the opening episode tonight that if it doesn't work this time...he is giving up. Do I believe that? Hells to the no.

So, here's my projection for Rock of Love 3 "winner:" Kelsey



However, I think these chicks will make it far:

Brittayna is fun and pretty, but I don't think she's that big of a challenge for Brett.

Taya is a great fit for Brett, but she doesn't party hard enough. She is super confident and wouldn't be cool to fans. She'd come off as a bitch, and would probably get sick of Brett's lifestyle in a minute.

It's New Year's Eve Bee-Yatchez!

Let's get it started off right, shall we? JQ was able to make some magic happen, so we will be attending the party at Paramount Studios. The city is operating the rail system all night, and metro rides are free from 9:00 PM to 2:00 AM - Brilliant!


I'm getting my hair did today, and we get out early so I'll have plenty of time to get ready. I did some "prep" (as JQ calls it) last night...you know some bleaching, tanning, laid out the makeup I'm going to use, etc. Women be craaaaaazy! (and women be shopping.) The key is to not get obnoxiously drunk and ruin all the hard work you put in. A little something I've learned over the years. Make a note of it.



So, what else is going on? I don't know...I'm moving in 8 days! Holy crap!



I've been going through another hat and accessory phase. I bought one of these on Ebay the other day. I love them. Mini Top Hat hair clips! They are custom made and cost less than $20 with shipping. Perfect for the Britney Spears tour! :) Check out Ebay seller: catrina8904


I'm a little annoyed that Time Warner Cable failed to reach an agreement with MTV Networks to continue programming on their service, but I'm moving anyway. Is Rock of Love part of MTV Networks? OMG - I think it is. What the hell is the point to having Time Warner then?

That's all I have today. Off to cover the front desk at work.

Music As Torture

Trent's wicked pissed. He found out that his music is being used as a form of torture at Guantanamo Bay.

"It’s difficult for me to imagine anything more profoundly insulting, demeaning and enraging than discovering music you’ve put your heart and soul into creating has been used for purposes of torture. If there are any legal options that can be realistically taken they will be aggressively pursued, with any potential monetary gains donated to human rights charities. Thank GOD this country has appeared to side with reason and we can put the Bush administration’s reign of power, greed, lawlessness and madness behind us." -Trent Reznor

Honestly Trent, come on, this isn't that ludicrous. Your music is awesome, but it is dark and disturbing, and will drive people crazy in large doses. Especially people who are going through hell.

Why do you think drug addicts are huge fans of NIN? They heighten their senses and then accompany the affects with the distorted layers and lyrics in your compositions. I've had a hand full of friends in high school tell me about the subliminal messages they heard in your songs, and the sick and twisted pictures they've seen in your CD art.

I love you to death, but haven't you tortured your own fans emotionally with your music? Wasn't that the point of it? So these messed up kids would have something to relate to - self-loathe a bit.

I read that the Barney theme song, Dr. Dre, and Eminem are being used as torture too. Won't this just make the prisoners angry and crazy instead of defeated and powerless?
