This guy! I love him. Not like I think he is the hottest, sexiest thing on the planet! I just think he is such a great actor. He is so cute and lovable in all of his movies. I will literally see any movie he is in...now I find this video and it pushes my Joseph Gordon-Leavitt fascination to a whole new level.
Am I weird? Please tell me I am not the only one who sees it.
I saw Katie Herzig last summer when she opened for Brandi Carlisle. We all know how much I love Brandi but Katie was a very fresh surprise. Here are a few of her songs. While looking her videos up YouTube I found a few other goodies.
There is no video here just music....even better.
Just a few of the songs I like to put on that make me smile. So smile, it's almost Christmas.
I am not a gambler! I don't see the point or the appeal. I think it is a quick way to loose money fast. Since my few pennies are precious to me {say that in the Gollum voice if you like} I can't watch some fat-fingered-angry dealer take them from me, Yes they all have fat fingers. So why did I got to Vegas last weekend you ask? Well I got a phone call from my friend Allison last wednesday, it went like this.
"Um Lawrence ( that's me) what are you doing this weekend?'
"Um Hi Alice (that's her) nothing, why?"
" Want to go to Vegas and see Ke$ha...for free?"
"Whaaaa, really?'
"Ya, Alex bailed on me (her brother) and I have everything all paid for."
"Um, hell yes! let me see if Kleis ( my mom) can work for me."
a few phone calls to my mom and chris in between.
"Alice, I'm in!!!"
"Seriously?! Let me see if I can get the ticket in your name." Click
"Alice? Alice?"
A few minutes later.
"Lawrence I'm so excited I'm sweating!"
"Me too!!"
"Ok sweet!"
"Alice? Alice" Click again. We were both pretty excited, I'm not sure who hung up on who this time.
So we packed all the glitter we could and headed out with Allison's friends Chris and Lindsey Hatch. They are hilarious. Chris Hatch flies all the time and is so funny about it.. I quickly named him Clooney, from Up In The Air. Clooney stuck and by the end he was responding to it.
We had so much fun. We got all freaked out for Ke$ha and people were just staring at us. Seriously we freaked people out. We weren't even wearing weird clothes just weird makeup. I refuse to believe that we were the biggest freaks in Vegas but people seemed to think we were.
Lindsey looked cute. this was her idea of getting Ke$ha'd out. Lame Lindsey.
The BEST part was LMFAO. They put on such a good show. They are hilarious and they and their dancers were amazing. They had some guys from America's Best Dance Crew up there.
Alice bought some glasses that did some pretty cool stuff.
She tried to sneak a snickers while i wasn't looking. I called it "sneakin a snick"
We laughed so hard at that one.
This was a limo my friends not a semi.
This is Holly Madison's porsche. Yep it's pink people.
I tried to buy Ralph a good lookin tux but they didn't have his size. Bummer.
Cupcake beenies I seriously wanted this one so bad.
The maids at our hotel were awesome. This is what we found after breakfast one morning. Loved them!!
Vegas was a good time. We laughed so hard and did tons of shopping. I would much rather my money go to clothes than gambling. Don't worry though Alice managed to get in plenty of gambling. That is how she paid for the trip...gambling points. Gotta love it.
Just for your enjoyment, we watched this video about a hundred times trying to learn the shuffle. These guys are hilarious!!
I loved U2 growing up. I seriously LOVED them. U2 was my very first concert I ever went to. That concert began my serious love for live music.
When I was little my neighbors the Jenkins boys were all in bands and there was a lot of U2 flowing into my back yard. I have to admit that I don't love their newer stuff as much but I was so pleasantly surprised with how much of their old stuff we got to hear. It was so fun to listen to music that brought back oh so many memories with Chris by my side. and thank goodness he was there because I was freakin freezing.
The set was so dang cool. It did all kinds of cool stuff and gave all sorts of interesting facts as they were getting ready to go on. I loved it. Not the best picture of us but the iphone was all we had.
Who loves the Red Butte Summer Concert Series? I do! Last summer my bosses, well old bosses, gave me their tickets to Brandi Carlile. It was so amazing. Not only did I see a beloved long lost friend and watch my old neighbor make an absolute ASS out of himself, but I fell in love twice! It was one of those perfect nights, the Scenery was beautiful, the lighting was awesome, the weather was perfect and my handsome new love was by my side. Are you getting the message, it was so GOOD! I know this is a lot of info for everyone and I hate getting too personal in public-cyber land but I really fell for Chris that night, completely! I also fell for a lovely lyrical lesbian! Brandi Carlile. She is such a great songwriter. We had such a good time. Not exactly Chris's favorite music but I think he'll agree with me that she puts on one hell of a show. Needless to say I went straight home and bought her newest album and I listen to it almost every morning while i get ready. Even my kitty knows all the words the that record. HA! Here is one of my favs, ENJOY!
