Things that are Exciting (in no particular order)

1. I am leaving for ACL in 2 days. Yes, I already went to Lollapalooza and this is technically almost the exact same thing but whatever it shall be awesome. And I shall see Mason Jennings again. And he shall probably sound like Mason Jennings - again. And G. Love and Swell Season and Foo Fighters and, just, YAY.

2. Blackhawks season starts tonight. I will be forced to hobble up to my seat as I ran 20 miles yesterday. 20!!! Basically, I could have run out to the suburbs. But I hate the suburbs, so instead I ran up and down the lakefront path. And hockey is fun. Nope, that made no sense.

3. In one week, I get to see . . . RYAN FREAKING ADAMS!!! In concert! Close enough for him to sweat on me and/or notice me and decide that in fact he does totally want to hang out with me and perhaps drink coffee while playing me some songs. Yes.

4. After that, I get to go to BOULDER! For homecoming! And drink delicious Colorado beers and eat delicious Boulder foods and watch the Buffs! Playing football! YAY!!!

5. And when I return from Boulder (yay!) I am running the marathon, for which I am mostly ready but still somewhat nervous.

So, basically the next 2 weeks are going to completely kick ass. I won't be around much, other than to post the October book pick for the book club, but I will be having uber amounts of fun. And then I should probably try to find a job. But for now, viva la unemployment!!!

So lemme get this straight:

You get to go to a hockey game tonight.

You get to go to Austin City Limits

And you get to go to Ryan Adams.

I really do hate you. In a "I'm so jealous of you I'll just say I hate you" sort of way.

I'm jealous.

I noticed you didn't mention we get our bar results in one week in this post.

Bar results are not exciting, in any particular order. And notice that I specifically planned to be out of town during the crazy time of people I know checking their results. When I am asked how I fared, I shall respond in a drunken and smiley manner, "I AM IN BOULDER, FUCK YEAH, GO BUFFS!!!!!"

I am just warning you.

Oh. I don't plan on asking anyone. What if the answer is "I didn't pass?"

Awwkwaaard.
