Tonight, I have plans to see Cowboy Mouth in concert for the first time since the November fiasco. This morning I was partially dreading going because the memories from the last concert were bitterly burned into my brain. It doesn't help that someone I'd prefer not to see or be seen by is going to the show as well. Hopefully that person will have plenty of other people to talk to and not notice/bother me or Erika.

This morning I didn't think I'd care if I missed the show, but as the time gets closer, I'm looking forward to the show a little more. However, if I did miss the show, I wouldn't feel as bad as I did last week when I missed the Avril Lavigne show? How sad is it that Avril Lavigne is above Cowboy Mouth now? Wait, did I actually type that? I guess this is my coming out moment. Yes, I like Avril Lavigne. I must now turn in my testosterone card.

I'm sure once the show starts, everything will be great and seem back to normal. However, I don't think I can ever get to the fanatical status I had throughout 2007. I suppose that's a good thing as it saves me some money, but it makes me sad as well. It's like when something happens that pushes you and your best friend apart. Eventually you get over it, but you never re-establish the close bond you once had with that friend. This is the first step of moving on.

The best quotes from The Office day-by-day calendar for February and March

"What do we know about this bird? You might think, not much...but we do know some things. We know it was a local bird. Maybe it's the same bird that surprised Oscar that one morning with a special present from above." - Michael

"Hug it out, bitch." ... That is what men say to each other after a fight. ... Not a good idea to say to a woman however, I have found. It doesn't translate." - Michael, embracing Dwight

"Jan is professional, which is a metaphor for cold. We make a good team, like Lenny and Squiggy. Except I'm like Lenny and Squiggy, and she's like a stone." - Michael

"Women are like wolves, you have to trap it. Then, to keep it happy, you have to tame it. Feed it, care for it. Lovingly. The way an animal deserves...and my animal deserves a lot of loving." - Dwight

"Can I have your attention, please? I just wanted to say that the women in this office are terrible. Especially the ones who wrote that stuff in the bathroom about Michael. Having a bathroom is a privilege. It's a ladies' room. And, if you can't act like ladies, then maybe you won't have a bathroom." - Dwight

"Pizza. The great equalizer. Everybody likes pizza. Poor people like pizza, rich people like pizza. White people like pizza, black people like pizza... Do black people like pizza?" - Michael

"Why tip someone for a job that I am capable of doing myself? I can deliver food. I can drive a taxi. I can and do cut my own hair. I did, however, tip my urologist because I am unable to pulverize my own kidney stones." - Dwight

"We know how he died. Flying into the glass doors. I don't think he was being stupid. I think he just really, really wanted to come inside our building to spread his cheer and lift our spirits with a song." - Pam, at an office funeral for a bird.

"There are five stages to grief and it's my job to try to get them all the way through to acceptance. And if not acceptance, then just depression. If I can get them depressed, then I'll have done my job." - Michael

"The Dundies are like a car wreck where you want to look away, but you have to stare at it because your boss is making you." - Pam

I finally got around to seeing 21 this past weekend. I went based on what I knew of the true story, and to me it sounded really interesting. Plus, it has Kevin Spacey who is truely awesome. He plays a professor in the movie. If I had him as a professor, I would never consider skipping class. And I'm not meaning that in a man-crush kind of way. The review I managed to scrap together is posted.

Friday we went to Birmingham to experience a little piece of Broadway by seeing Spamalot. I didn't realize that after all the talk of Monty Python and the Holy Grail being at almost every college band party Erika attended, she had never seen the movie. I was pretty worried that Erika would end up hating the show since the humor is a bit sophomoric at times. The only the thing that we didn't like was the annoying guy behind us commenting at every major scene that appears in the movie and singing along to the songs. I didn't pay money to hear a peon behind me sing and tell me how much he loves that scene.

Speaking of money, the souvenir prices were outrageous. They were selling all sorts of items featuring the killer bunny and the cow. A killer bunny puppet and beanie baby sized cows and bunnies were a whopping $25 each. My absolute favorite souvenir ever from a Broadway show were the killer bunny slippers. Too bad that a pair of bedroom slippers were $45. I wish I were kidding.

Also this weekend, we went to see Leatherheads. Since I finished my homework early this weekend, I wrote a review.

Leatherheads Review

The days of getting married while just a toddler are now gone. Arkansas decided today to repeal a law passed in 2007 that allowed any non-pregnant person under 18 to get married with parental consent. This is indeed a great travesty. Is there no justice in this world? Why should a newborn be refused the right to marry his or her soulmate lying in an adjacent crib in the hospital?

Although it's dreadfully dated, I've uploaded a review for 10,000 BC. The next wave of movies starts this weekend.

Wow, what a weekend! We headed over to Memphis to catch the Mets playing in the Civil Rights Game. I think they were trying to tell us that black and hispanic people play baseball, but doesn't everyone already know that. Anyway, the Mets won and we partied in Memphis the rest of the night. Personally, I don't remember much after dinner, but when I woke up I had quite the shock. Sometime that night, I ended up with a tattoo. I guess all the rainbows at Pat O'Brien's numbed my leg and my brain. Here's a pic of my weekend reminder.


Yes, the next time you see me you can touch it. Have a happy April Fool's Day!
