***CONTEST THIS***
EAT AN APPLE A DAY:
The AALACHO iPod mini MIX-TAPE CONTEST is coming to a close!! Make sure to have
your tape post-marked by Monday the 23rd of August! All tapes not post-marked
by Monday won't count! (Your odds are pretty choice at the moment! At this point
the odds are still about 1/3 people win the iPod!) I expect that to go up....cause
of all you last minute slackers!! ;)
If you still don't know the rules call us today! We'll give you the smack...***DIARY
OF A TEXAS GIRL LOST IN THE MIDWEST***
THE AMERICAN IDOL-IFICATION OF AMERICA:
Alrighty, so finally I am settled in my new cardboard box, I call my home...and
luckily all of my flat-mates are very cool. (The shared bathroom thing is working
out ok.) My next-door neighbor is a chick named Josie, and she is one of those
people who if you don't know her yet, or are not friends with her yet...you
will be soon! In fact I distinctly remember meeting her like five times before...at
different events around town--she's just one of those uber friendly people!
After I get off work generally at around 9PM, (last-night it was an evil 1:30
AM), all I want to do is go home and watch a little mindless television and
crash--if I don't have some show I need to be at, that is! So anyway, my life
is pretty much centered around music and my job...which is kind of nice...in
that being in music, your recreational interest are wrapped into it as a package
deal, and it makes up for the general lack of coin...
So anyway, Josie decided that I need more of a social-life and she was going
to help me break out of my college radio-centric shell! Thus I was dragged to
the one and only "FAT OTTER'S ALMOST FAMOUS KARAOKE NIGHT!" I was
also introduced to EVERYONE in the entire bar!! I ended up kicking it with this
really funny guy named Adam, and did the typical sarcastic play by play of someone
who truly can't sing....yes, as some of you can attest to, the gothic hamster
can't sing! Except BLONDIE, "The Tide is High," cause that's my song...and
they only had "Heart of Glass"...
...but I digress. So anyway, I am all geared up and then...damn, that boy can
sing! Whoa, that was better than in Top Gun..."Sweet Caroline! Dat, Da,
Daaaaa....good times never felt so bad!" The entire bar was a scene outta
Dance Party USA. Then this tiny blonde chick gets up on stage and picked that
one really played out Alicia Keys' tune....and so I turn to Adam, and I get
all excited...and I am like, "Wow, that's ambitious...har har..."
and then she belted it out with more gusto than Christina Agulaira...um yeah.
That's what kind of night it was. So anyway....I thought Karaoke was for people
who can't sing to have a good time, and make fun of themselves. But no...Karaoke
can now be the stepping stone to your next big career move.
In other news across town...Huffman's band/room-mate "The Chad," was
kicking it at Eastside Tavern, and ended up parading around on the bar sans
clothing. (With permission from Sal, the owner and B.C. the bartender, all "The
Chad Gone Wild" style.) He later ended up hanging out with some chick from
the bar that is worthy of KINGDOM FLYING CLUB's "Cut the Negatives,"
if ya know what I mean! Ask Huff for details... Anyway, so the end of the story
is, "The Chad" calls Huffy at 7 AM this morning, to come give him
a ride home...so I guess he has some right to be grumpy and quiet today, ha
ha!
Today is Friday. Today is our big mailing day. When you do a lot of mailings...it
gets kinda crazy sending out 750 packages at a time...so you have to find ways
not to go crazy. So, I came up with the bright idea that it would be cute to
make teddy bears that represent our space-staff. I decided that it would be
funny to call Huffman's bear, "Meter and Stuff Huffy."
He didn't dig it as much as I did.
Still working on the other bear care characters' names....if you have any ideas...
Transmission out!
