Graduation

The big day for Brendan is fast approaching - only 9 weeks to go.

Who is going to attend the ceremony at Michigan Stadium? I have invited Grammy and Papa and I think they will be there. Mom and I will certainly be at the event.

Brendan - Do you want your brothers to be there? Any other guests that are important to you?

Brendan needs to pickup tickets the week before. The tickets dates are here:

The big day is May 2, 2009 and gates open at 8:00am.

There also is an event for the School of Music at Power Center on Friday, May 1. Brendan should get an invitation for this event and Mom and I would like to attend.

Lets make sure we are ready for this big day.

whirlwind

I worked so hard for the first 6 weeks of school that I feel like I actually deserve this break. We havn't planned a single thing. At all. Leave tomorrow at noon and I don't even know where we go after we get our bags. I was told a yacht was involved.

I don't even know what to pack. Weather.com has been switching back between multiple days of rain and multiple days of sunshine.

By the end of this semester I'll have a 35 minute hd documentary, a self-designed interactive website archiving/ showing off my artistic endeavors (complete with general resume), and a degree. Not bad for 12 credits.

Keep March 13-14 open because I'm pretty sure Airport will be playing in a space that's not a filthy smoke filled basement and thus, more conducive to parents enjoyment.

Sports Illustrated

Apparently my subscription to SI is now sending billing info to me. i dont have the money to pay for this nor do i remember saying to SI send billing stuff to me. and no i am over due 1 installment. i can still pay for the first and now the second i just dont know how im going to. i am more then willing to cancel the subscription if mom and dad are tired of paying for it.

Girls next door move out ahh!

Apparently, i am the last person to know of this, however, Bridget and Kendra are breaking up with hef. Kendra and Bridget both have expanding careers and are moving out of the mansion. Bridget is invovled with director Nicholas Carpenter and plans on having an actual career. Holly, learned that hef...isnt all hes cracked up to be in his old age. He doesnt have enough lil hefs to have a baby with Holly, and that sent the relationship into a downward spiral!! There are rumors she left hef for Criss angel the midfreak guy, but hef and holly deny those are true...thank god. Shes the best lookin of the three. Now hes back in his ways with two 19 year old twins. I cant say i object to these girls, but...i like these three he had. I'm pretty broken up about it. I dont keep up on celeb gossip or wouldve known this since Bridget left in the fall, and Kendra is working on moving out asap. These two new girls better be kool.

If you care, he talks a little about it. :( bummer

Mom Wants an Update

Mom wants an update and what the mama wants, the mama gets. in direct response to mom's post my next concert is on the 26th at 8pm. in other news i had my first lacrosse game on thursday, we beat western 8-7. from an academic standpoint classes are going ok. im getting the hang of doing homework around my sleeping and lacrosse scheduals. and thats the way the cookie crumbes here in mount pleasant.

Updates, please

Brendan, did you get interviewed by the Michigan Daily? If so, when do you think it will be published?
Sean, when exactly is your concert? No promises, but I would like to attend, if at all possible.

Tonight is such a special Valentine's for us old folks. It is 8:30 p.m. We just watched Top Gun. We had pizza for dinner and now we are ready for bed. But don't go "Ugh." We will watch a DVR of Antiques Roadshow and Dad will fall asleep. And the weird part is we are both happy with how the day went.

bad joke

somebody called and asked if the store carried light bulbs. i told them that "yes, sometimes. i'll go check." they then asked, "low wattage, if you have them." and without really even realizing it i said, "there's nothing but low watt bulbs in this joint, let me tell you."




and there was this pause




and finally i said, "sorry, that was a terrible joke. we're out of lightbulbs too, um-" and they said, "um, what? that's fine, thanks."

not sure this brand of customer service would fly in corporate america.

sean, devon, please tell me you're still fighting the good fight because with jokes like that i'm on the fast track to turning into dad.
