Roxie is excited! It seems like there's a good chance of her getting that summer job as a camp councilor! She'll hear sometime tomorrow for sure, after her hopefully-soon-to-be boss checks that she is not a criminal. She'll also be auditioning to be in a friend's feature-length film that he's filming this summer, so that should make for an awesomely busy summer.So after yesterday's adventure to pick up Tom on his return home from the army and playing rock-band (discovering that playing drums is HARD), today we ventured to the auto parts store and bought Roxie a new headlight! We also dropped off some dry-cleaning. And, of course, went to A&P to get a four-pack of redbull and sat by the river at Philip's Field to drink it. Isn't that exciting?
Yes, people, that means that today, Roxie learned to change a headlight all by herself! Well not exactly by herself, with a little help from Reno's dad while Reno went to cater (which ought to be fun considering her pained arms and fingers from the rock-band escapade)
Last night, after a little inspiration from BU's production of Reefer Madness, Roxie discovered that the whole Reefer Madness made for TV movie exists on youtube. As you can probably guess, that means that last night, she watched the whole thing in its ridiculous entirety, and now feels the need to post a video, so here's a clip for your enjoyment. Please revel in the ridiculous:
Other things that need sharing include Basement Jaxx's Take Me Back To Your House, which is a fantastic song with a video to match the song's magnitude of awesome. Make sure to notice that around 4 minutes into the video, some people seem to be literally flying across the top of the screen. Maybe they've been thrown, or just have massive leg power.
It has taken Roxie absolutely FOREVER to actually find the song because the only versions of it that she could find were weird remixes that, frankly, weren't very good. So the song came off of iTunes, which means that downloading it may be difficult. It might be "protected" and, if it is, then you'll be stuck having to watch the video over and over just to listen to the song. Let me know if you can play it without having to authorize or something weird like that. I don't know. Anyway, have a video:
and a song:
Our planned trip to Child's Park tomorrow seems unlikely, considering that they're predicting thundershowers. Oh well, re-scheduling time! Be on the lookout for pictures of that upcoming excursion, whenever it happens!
I feel the need to post more music. These have been showing up on my Pandora Radio a lot lately, and I've really started to like them. They're good songs to segue into summer, and I mean, c'mon, it's Regina Spektor, so that equals good. Have a listen:
Another female artist that we love: Britney Spears. Don't judge; we know she's crazy and all, but you have to give her most recent album a listen, and ignore that hideous performance of Gimme More. This song helped me get my @$$ to class on many-a-winter-morning, and it's a great dance song:
Also, we look really lame if no one comments on this zine/blog zog, so please make us seem poopular, and comment. plzkthnx.
