Dear broken bike dude, I'm sorry

Sometimes you see something so funny and you really shouldn't laugh but you just can't control it.

Last night I was walking back from a bar with Melissa. We were in a giggly mood anyways but as we were walking this young guy on a bike is coming towards us. We hear a clink and the guy just stops. He looks pretty distressed and confused as he looks back towards the source of the sound. His bike pedal fell off! Seriously it was just lying there on the ground and came off while he was riding down the street. We couldn't control ourselves. We were basically running down the street because we were so hysterical and didn't want to embarrass him.

I feel bad but really it was just too ridiculous not to laugh. Poor guy was so shocked he just sat there on his bike that was falling apart right under him.

Be safe

A co-worker of mine was mugged at gun point by three men yesterday while walking home. She lives in a very nice neighborhood and was walking down a main road. I can't imagine how she feels right now. I'm scared and it didn't even happen to me. It doesn't matter if you live in a nice neighborhood or if you're in a busy area, you're not immune. She's lucky all they did was take her purse. It could have ended much worse.

I hope I'm getting it right

There's no need for me to go back in time and change any of my past mistakes because in one of my alternative worlds I've made all the decisions that add up to bliss. I'll try to take whatever comfort I can in knowing that somewhere, some version of me is getting it right.

Get on the Ludo train Twlight!

Yes I am posting about Twilight AGAIN but the soundtrack listing is out!

Muse - "Supermassive Black Hole"
Paramore - "Decode"
The Black Ghosts - "Full Moon"
Linkin Park - "Leave Out All the Rest"
MuteMath - "Spotlight" ("Twilight" mix)
Perry Farrell - "Go All the Way (Into the Twilight)"
Collective Soul - "Tremble for My Beloved"
Paramore - "I Caught Myself "
Blue Foundation - "Eyes on Fire"
Rob Pattinson - "Never Think"
Iron & Wine - "Flightless Bird, American Mouth"
Carter Burwell - "Bella's Lullaby"

I figured Muse would be on there considering Stephanie Meyer is a huge fan (she dedicated one of the books to them) but will someone PLEASE introduce The Horror of our Love by Ludo to everyone involved in this movie because it really is the absolute most perfect song in the entire world for this series! I'm sure Ludo was not thinking of Edward and Bella when they wrote that but it's just perfect!

Oh let's throw in one of my favorite Ludo videos in here because I love them.

Obsession

I'm a dork. A dork with Twilight pins! Is it November yet?

Home alone

The roommates are gone for a wedding and I have the house to myself :) I can tell when they're not here because Boo will wake me up every hour to remind me that no one is paying attention to him.

I actually haven't been home much to enjoy it though. I went to Harpoon's Oktober Fest on Friday and went to a show at Harpers Ferry on Saturday. Basically I drank too much beer this weekend and the thought of anymore makes me a little queasy.

I hung out with my brother for a bit. I should be spending more time with him before he goes to boot camp. Plus hanging out with him is a guaranteed laugh. He told me he's learning Chinese from some guys at his work. He can now ask for cigarettes and say it's lunch time. You know, the practical stuff.

And now it's Sunday once again. I ate a box of mac and cheese this morning all to myself. Nice job. I think I need the gym after all the beer and Cheetos I consumed this weekend.

Getting to work tunes this week:

Empires
The Rakes

I am obsessed with the song Spit the Dark by Empires. It's a haunting little song and I can't stop listening to it.

We Danced Together by The Rakes makes me want to start dancing and I love songs where the British accent comes through. You can tell this band is from the UK.
