I don't break easily.

We has paint. One wall of my room shall be "Mint Majesty." I am so excited to paint! Though it seems it will take a couple more days of building. However, the construction is beyond beautiful & amazing; I'm willing to wait it out.

Rock of Love reunion = so awkward! Can we please see Bret sans bandana??

Admitted: the new Dashboard Confessional is winning me over. Sigh. I was such a Dashboard geek in college, and now the pleasurable affliction is back (it skipped whatever the hell "Dusk & Summer" was). And, I'm conceding this in public, on my blog, to the seven or so people that read this: yes, I am a Dashboard fan. I love the roll of "Thick as Thieves," the odd feeling of comfort that comes with "These Bones," the oh-so-Carrabba sadness of "The Shade of Poison Trees," and the uncharacteristically deep vocals reeling me in during "The Rush." I'm pretty sure I love it already, but I'm still formulating my opinion.

Where the new Dashboard sends me floating, the new Foo Fighters pumps me up. It's a solid rock album, on par with most of their other albums, though nothing - nothing - can top The Colour and the Shape. Again, need more time with it. Also, I'm a little miffed I'm missing out on next weekend's after after, as the Foo Fighters will be the music...and I kind of admire Dave Grohl. However, whom I shall be with next Saturday trumps Dave Grohl. Dave who?

I'm excited for this week. Walls done, hopefully get the painting done, then Friday...him. And tomorrow he's back in the states. (!!!)
