I just bought Vampire Weekend's new cd "Contra " and I have to say I'm impressed! I've also been hearing some buzz about their new video for the single "Giving Up The Gun." Well it released this morning and it pretty great. (It was directed by Emmett Malloy!) Enjoy people!
P.S. They are coming to the Fox Theater on April 20 so let me know if you want to go!

Valentine's Day and Some Extras
Why, hello there!
I feel like I have lots to say but no patience to sit here and write about it.
I've been reading the Sookie Stackhouse novels a lot recently. (Thanks Crystal!) I got into the show True Blood last year and so I was really curious about how the books were the same/different. I just started book 8 out of 9. I haven't read this much in forever.
Sunday is Valentine's Day. I made Valentines this year for my family.
I was feeling creative until about half was through them. My V-day date is Nicole this year. She is here in Windsor while Anthony is in DC. I doubt he minds missing this holiday but me and Nicole will have a decent time. Unfortunately I have to babysit Travis that night so it's going to get cut a little short.
I saw Young the Giant in Santa Cruz on Jan. 29th. That was good times! It was kind of spur of the moment. I went with Matt and we drove down there but it was totally raining. There was this long line because some kind of rave was going on in another part of the place. We waited in line surround by a bunch of annoying kids in the pouring rain. Once we got inside, completely soaked, I quickly noticed we were one of the first people there. There was a group of guys standing around a pizza box and I realized those were the bands. I the Mighty opened and more people came. All in all there must have been like 30 people there. Young the Giant came on and did a ton of new stuff which all sounded so great. They are a talented bunch of guys and a ton of fun to watch live. I'm really excited for their first LP.

I've really been enjoying my new iphone (That's where these two photos came from). I thought it broke today but apparently I'm just not so smart sometimes. I wasn't paying attention and let the battery die I guess. I still think something else went wrong because I just charged it yesterday afternoon, so I'm going to keep an eye on it. Hopefully nothing else happens.
Well that's all for now. (This post only took me forever and a day to finish.) Happy Valentine's Day!
