Aaand... summer

There's really not much to do in the 'couve in the summer... or anytime of the year, for that matter.
 
Ever have one of those days where you do a lot of work but nothing really gets done? I've had a few of those, without the work. I mostly do small stuff around the house during the day, maybe work on some stuff for that stupid online history class (I'm considering taking it pass/fail, these projects almost aren't worth it. If anyone has projects leftover from their Washington State History class, I'd like to borrow some of them!) I go out in the evenings, usually to Kyrie's since neither of us have anything better to do.
 
Today was a little different, I actually got up before 9 (8:35, but I guess it still counts!) Spent 3 hours pressure washing little spots of mold off the back patio, I probably have another 3 hours of work tomorrow on the path... maybe I'll clean the cars while I have the stuff out too. A little extra money never hurt anyone... ok, where was I... after working into the afternoon, I did a stupid little map of the Pacific Rim and colored it kinda half-assed. Bah. Met up with Kyrie, Goose and Jesse and went downtown to see Reverend Horton Heat at the Roseland.
 
Fought traffic getting into P-town and found a place to park. Walked toward what we thought was Burnside... but no, we hit 405 with no sign of it, so we asked someone, who pointed us back the way we came. Goose felt pretty dumb when it turned out to be a block away from our parking garage. Rocco's Pizza for dinner, that place is great! $4-ish for a huge slice of pizza and a drink, cant do much better than that... I think we hit there during our 30 minute break before the Starlight Parade too. The concert itself was pretty decent, the opening act was mediocre at best, and the second act was only decent. Rev. Horton Heat was good, they played a mix of blues and country that is best described as classic rock&roll. After a while their songs started to sound pretty similar, but it was still a good time.
 
The crowd was interesting... I kept getting the feeling that somewhere not far away there was an empty Wal-Mart. There was some old hippie guy with a big beard who kept getting yelled at by security for taking off his shoes, I think he danced the same way for almost 4 hours, regardless of if there was music playing or not. And then there were the people who smelled like pencil shavings and old taco-bell. mmmm... yuck.

 
Thats about all for now, I'm going to try and post more regularly when I'm in town. Convieniently for me, I'm going to the coast this Saturday, so I'll probably just slack off like I have been, but you never really know.
 
One more thing... is it just me, or did they change the way you post things on Blogger again?
