blogging end...

blogging is fun. 
but i think its the end for this shortly-lived blog. 
i like doing things well (not half-assed). 
and i dont feel like i am doing this blog well.
i cant seem to find the time and energy into making it what i want. 
so it has become a jumble of randomness {which is fine}, but not really what i wanted out of it. 
this past week of not blogging has been nice. 
so i think i am going to try that for a while.


doesnt mean i wont be back here. 
but for now...i think this is best.


thanks for anyone who read any of it.

currently, i am in the busiest week. 

pin*love

today i am going to start a 3 part pinterest

about my younger boy crushes. 

i think all of them deserve a post to themselves.

part one.

adam brody.

hello delicious. 

obviously i started watching him on the oc.

i caught the very first episode and was hooked. 

i ended up watching all seasons...even though it was terrible at the end. 

so many good things. 

the stubble. the shaggy hair. 

the nerd. the ties. the dark brown eyes.

just...oh so good.

april date night...

so matty planned our april date night. 

it was a blast. 

we went to the ...

festival

(its a festival that shows all documentaries)

to see...

its a documentary on the "original" jackass. 

he had a show on cable tv niagara in the early 90s that was jackass'esque.

this documentary covers his story. 

it was funny but also sad and thoughtful. 

all he wanted to do was make people laugh by doing silly things. 

and he did. then he broke his neck with one of his stunts.

the fun parts of festivals is that he (ralph) was there. 

and it was the first time he had seen the full documentary.

he answered some questions, 

and handed out popcorn

at the beginning of the show from a pink bag (pillow case) 

that he called the hairy bag of popcorn.

made me laugh. 

(ralph is on the far right)

after the screening we went out for a late dinner at hemmingways.

date nights are the BEST.
