elephants and tigers

hey all. i just got back from seeing the wonderful rachael yamagata play at the hotel cafe. the place just recently expanded (though still pretty tiny) and had no a/c, so we were all squished together and sweaty. rachael's wonderful music was worth it though. i just love her voice. this weekend was quite the concert weekend, as i went to see jason mraz with dave matthews band also last night. it was my first time at the home depot center in carson, ca, and it was a decent big type venue. but parking, holy crap, it cost $20! what's up with that? and everyone was tailgating and blocking the parking spots and driveways of the lot. i mean, i'm all for having fun, but get out of the way of my car, yo. my favorite line of the night was when we were all waiting for the encore and it was taking forever and they guy behind us yells, "encore, bitches!" we had a good laugh at that one. but dmb was so fun and energetic and wee jason mraz we great to see, as usual. and now i am back at my sweltering apt. a couple of weeks ago the weather seemed to be cooling down but then it went right back up. it was over 100 degrees yesterday. that is so wrong.

saw the brothers grimm on friday night in burbank. i have to say that i liked it and had a good time. i think it got a really low score on rotten tomatoes but i think i kind of went in without too many expectations so i enjoyed it. matt damon has horrible hair in it though. ugh. we really wanted to see the constant gardner (or the secret gardner as hannah likes to call it) but we realized on friday that the release date had been pushed back to the 31st. it looks really good and has my girl crush, rachel weisz, in it and hottie ralph fiennes, too. it looks pretty intense and i hear that it's excellent. hopefully i will be able to see that here before i head back up to northern ca for the long weekend.


as promised, a picture of monette so far. she's grown pretty fast and i am almost at the halfway mark. kidsilk haze is a dream and now i know why people become addicted to it.

update- did a little yarn dyeing on monday night. pics to come!
