They are ridiculous in the best possible way!!! They totally crack me up :0) I think you guys need a vet for Meaty and Mini Horse. Call me up anytime.

I tried to make a poll but they're not working. Sorry

I just got back from the show. He played for ~30 min. and then never came back on. We were then told he lost his voice and wouldn't be coming back out. Everyone was instantly in an uproar, hoping it was a joke, I thought so especially when the 'we're kicking you out' music came on and it was 'That's Life.' I thought that was too rude to be true. But then the band was packing up and we decided to leave and as we were moving to the exit they made an announcement to hang on to see what was up and we thought maybe he would come back out but then they said to watch the website for rescheduling.

I can't believe it! Last year when I saw Depeche Mode in Kansas City the same thing happened but even worse they didn't reschedule and said since they had gotten through about half the show they didn't have to give money back or anything. I must go to too many shows to have this happen again, especially w/ my two favs, Dave and Morrissey.

Well he started out sounding just fine and he was talking to us after each song. He asked 'Are you bored? You will be soon.' At one point he said he was on Letterman last night and since Letterman keeps the studio at 30 degrees below zero, '29 degrees below zero I can understand' he said he had a bad throat and if his voice cracked he thought we'd forgive him. Then he was singing 'Let Me Kiss You' and when he sang 'you see someone that you physically despise' he ripped his shirt off and threw the soaking wet treasure into the crowd. I thought he was just leaving the stage to get a new shirt but he never came back out. Well I hope he reschedules and I don't have other plans. He opened w/ the Queen is Dead, then Playboys, Ganglord, You Have Killed Me, Let Me Kiss You or some kind of order like that I think.

Happy birthday Aunt Margaret!! How old are you now, 84? Sorry I missed your party yesterday. I just had too much going on to make the trip to Syracuse. I'll be home in July for the Boilermaker and we'll get together then so you have to hang in there until then. (In case you've forgotten, Aunt Marg was recently diagnosed w/ ovarian cancer and after her first chemo treatment decided that was it and to just let things take their course. She had the priest come and read her last rites but that was not months ago...She just keeps hanging on.)

Cleo! Get in here, time for bed!

Yes I hate being censored, though no one could force me to, I decided to do it anyway. I hope somehow it's appreciated.

I don't want this whole experience to make things weird for me in my running club as I'm a newbie and I have really enjoyed my time with the team so far. No hard feelings I hope.

I have found myself getting really tired all of a sudden and need to go to bed. Guess I'll just wait until tomorrow to eat.

I thought I'd be thrilled to get all my work out of the way today. Too bad I got a bunch more to replace it today in class. Labs and lab reports, exams, and write a grant. Yuck!

I will try to focus on the positive: I'm going to see Morrissey tomorrow night!!!

More people have come out to support the officers for their decision to ditch our coach and more have parted from the team. There is now a definite divide, plus a little name calling, etc. and the latest was that the coach asked to have everything posted to the message board about it removed and no more email correspondence team wide is allowed regarding this topic, only emails between individual parties which totally pisses me off, stupid censorship, and the emails already sent about it are not be sent to people outside the CRC, but it's too late for me, i already posted emails before this silly censorship so we'll see if people come across my site some time and i'm in trouble.

UPDATE: I'm keeping this post as is as it doesn't really say anything needing to edit, though you won't really know what I'm talking about if didn't get a chance to read the previous posts before I just mostly deleted them.

Nope, I lied, I've been censored, no more of the story. I deleted the original post.

If you could have seen me working that pace line! I went to a bike clinic w/ a few girls from my team this morning. I got a ride from one of the girls and had to bike out to her place in Brookline to meet her. It was only ~5.5 miles, a good warmup, and good thing it was 6:30am because otherwise the traffic would have scared me.

We get to the clinic and I realize it's co-ed, for some reason I thought all women, but it was an intermediate clinic so no hard core people. The funny thing was I walked over to join the group and I see this guy I recognize and he's this guy I went on a date w/ before and he's a big cyclist and I heard one of the instructors introduce him as her boyfriend. So funny! I wanted to run away. No way was this guy teaching me anything about riding. Luckily though he was in street clothes and drove away, maybe I scared him off, but anyway that was the last sighting of him, though a funny story.

We proceeded to talk about biking skills and I learned stuff about shifting gears and I have to say I did shift lots today which I usually don't do and we did pace line stuff for the 26 or 29 mile ride we did. It was frustrating in the beginning because this bitchy woman was inconsistent and would slow way down on uphills but then wouldn't pick it up on downhills so i kept really creeping up on her side because I didn't want to break and she'd yell at me that I was in the wrong gear, though it was this crappy lady's problem that she was in the wrong gear but this happened several times where she would tell me I was in the wrong gear and her personality in general was awful. The first half of the ride went very slow, starting and stopping, etc. There was another woman on a mountainy bike w/ normal pedals that was friends w/ the bitch but she had no problem being left behind w/ one of the instructors. Finally at halfway we somehow got the bitch to go w/ her friend and an instructor and about 7 of us went w/ this other instructor who worked us real hard in a pace line and we were up to 20 mph (minus downhills) at some parts which for right now is awesome for me because I usually feel so slow. My teammates have invited me on their Saturday morning rides from now on because we're about the same pace they said and they invited me to do this triathlon in July w/ them but for now I have to work that weekend, unless I can switch w/ someone.

All in all it was a great clinic and ride, though it cost me $40, at least I got out on my bike, even riding in the city, have an invite to future rides and finally feel once again that I want to race.

Now I need a nap, I couldn't sleep all night too nervous about riding today.

Now I'm working in Western Mass. for the Summer and have to commute and pay tolls on the Pike, real annoying. I have to stop to pay $1 when leaving Boston and then stop to get a ticket and then stop to pay the toll again plus remember to ask for receipts so work will reimburse me, and then repeat the whole thing on the way home. Wish I had an EZPass, or whatever it's called in Mass., I forget, but it's a work vehicle so nothing I can do. Anyway when I stopped to pay the toll today on the way to work, I asked for a receipt and then the guy said "You're real pretty," and I was so shocked that he said this since on the way to work I was feeling like a huge lard and very ugly and my bitchy awful neighbor from upstairs pissed me off this morning because Cleo and I ran into her and her dog Blue and we didn't speak to each other as the dogs smelled each other and she was staring at me bitchily and I hope I was too but I wondered what she was thinking w/ her bitchy look like something was wrong w/ my face or my belly, etc. so I was so surprised when this guy said that so I said "What?!" and he repeated the same thing "You're real pretty, I like your eyes." It made me feel better for a little while and then at work I got to hid in scrubs so that was good too.

Another positive thing, I got to bottle feed baby monkeys today!! Awesome! So cute, hungry and grabby :0)
