TV on the Radio in my Movie.

So most know that I'm a big TV on the Radio (TVotR) fan. Well like 2 months ago Corey and I watched this movie called Jump Tomorrow. It was a cute indie movie that was pretty funny. Well the lead guy in it resembled the lead singer from TVotR. Corey was like, that's that guy from that band you like so much. Me being the eternal know-it-all, vehemently denied it. I thought, yeah he looks like him but there's no way this actor is the same guy. So I denied it. Joked with Corey that "not all black people look alike". (You've seen my husband right?)

Well cut to today. Watching Rachel getting Married which was okay, but the same guy from Jump Tomorrow was in this movie. His name is Tunde Adebimpe. So at the end of the movie, Tunde's character sings at the wedding. During the song I didn't say anything, but thought "crap, it is that guy!" So after the movie ended, I grabbed my phone and went directly to IMDB.

And yea, under the trivia it listed 2 things:

Graduate of NYU's film school.

Member of New York-based band TV on the Radio.

So, I was wrong. Corey was right.

dead and wasted

Are blogs dead?

I know mine is. With facebook, twitter, and countless other communication devices how can one keep up? I think I'm a detriment to my own public. I like to think that there are some mysteries still available and I plan to explore them.

So yea, I'm trying to get back into my blogs. I really let my lj die. May it rest in peace.

time keeps on slippin', slippin'

hello peoples!
It's October. I know, I know, everyone always says, were does the time go? It's easy. Work, school, life. bye bye time! We are approaching some of my favorite holidays.

Halloween, Wedding Anniversary, Thanksgiving, Christmas. I hope to get to see you (yes you my friends) between now and the end of this year.

(scale update! I'm down 35 lbs now!!!!!!! GO ME! I'm serious, everytime I put on a pair of pants, I get happy! I look like a baggy bum [except the ones that my mom has taken in for me] and I LOVE IT!)

For my friend Doug

Listen to the 1560 Thunder Road show!!! Sundays 1-2 PM!

back to normal

We got power on Saturday night when we were in Austin watching Pinback (great great show by the way). Corey's cousin called and told us.

So we spent Sunday night in the house again since a whole week of being at the parents. I love my parents and since Thursday we had the house to ourselves (besides us dog-sitting) but there is NOTHING like your own house.

YEAH power! sweet sweet electricity. how I missed thee.

here is what I learned:

1. state troopers in the middle of nowhere are lazy. they make you come to them to give YOU a ticket. They don't even get out of the car.

2. El Paso is soooooooooo fahhhhh.

3. White Sands was soooo cool

4. When you are on vacation, you can eat anything you want. Don't ask me why. it's science.

early

For a change, Corey is working early and I am not on a Saturday.

I should be sleeping late but I'm up to run but it's raining.

these past 2 weeks I've done lots of new things. I'm not old but Im old enough that you would think I would have done some of these:

1. played (and won) in Scavenger Hunt
   
2. Went to a strip club
3. Rode the metrorail
