I am so ready to go home...i've worked my ass off all day and still feel like i've gotten nothing accomplished but now...i'm mentally done...that pretty much happens to me about 4:00 each day. This week is national disablility professionals week....who knew! No one...i'm sure its just something that was made up. But because of this made up week...we are getting many perks...we've been getting free food so far and then tomorrow we get movie time! At this point i'm just going to go to get away from my always ringing phone!

I've changed my work schedule...i've decided that its really not to my benefit at the moment to have Fridays off...yes, i know what you are all thinking, that i'm smoking something and what i could say to that is "i wish"...hehe! :) But no, having Fridays off has caused me major headaches on Monday...all the Friday work piles up and it seems like all claimant disasters happen that day....i will only have to work 4 hours on friday and still have my afternoon off. And i really wasn't making it to work on time most days anyway....and today, i was actually early for my new schedule so hopefully it will stay that way.

Thats really the excitement in my life at the moment...i now! truly exciting...actually, it looks like the lancaster sound may be getting back together at least to create another cd...and who knows what will come from that. Knowing those guys probably not much of anything but i'm going to play anyway. Okay, i guess there is more going on than i really think....July 6th..i'm going to be going to dallas with lisa curl to open up for the father of natalie from the dixie chicks....its the little things! It should be pretty fun and good contact time!

Some upcoming Jenn shows:

Thursday June 14th at the Starbucks on Western stage...the stringents i think we play from 8-9, i'll check for sure though

Thursday July 5th at Pearls Lakeside with Lisa Curl, time TBA

Friday July 6th with Lisa in Dallas

Currently thats all i have....as for shows...quite a good line up of good music! :)

i wonder if all my blogs are posting...i've just looked at my blog from work and it looks like they aren't showing up....hmmm...i guess i will just have to check them again.

i'm going to just add to sweet ts comment about friends. its is kind of upsetting when you support people and what they do and you think you have a close knit group and then you find out that maybe its not close knit at all....or maybe you are not wanted anymore. although everyone has started going and doing other things and lives are moving around a lot, it kind of hurts when you aren't invited to the important things! Alas, i am done with this blog also....

my grandpa was taken to the ER....its horrible feeling helpless like you can't do anything and don't know whats going to happen....and its horrible to know that the people you love are getting old and there is nothing you can do...and when you see them and they look like it could be the last time you see them...it makes you value the little things in life....

I just can't do anymore work today...i don't have it in me! But alas, what do you do...well, i don't work...i also don't have a lot of new things to say either. It seems that i'm typing this blog because i'm bored because i'm not working but i can't do anymore work or i'm going to go out of my mind...which would not be good because i like my mind...well, most of the time!

The stringents played at galileos last night and that was really fun....well, kind of fun. I've been a little on the moody side lately so it wasn't as fun as it could have been or maybe was! man, i'm confusing in a making sense kind of way! hehe!

Anyway, i'm thinking some of us may go to the drive in movie this weekend....doesn't that sound like good times! it does to me...and its a triple feature for 5 dollas! Shrek 3, Spiderman 3 and something else....not sure what the third movie is though. Although i've already seen Spiderman 3 i'm good with seeing it again...i just need to make sure i take bug spray....i've already been eaten alive!

A movie that (if anyone still reads this) everyone needs to watch and is TRULY fucked up...its called Old Boy...its an asian film and although i should have expected the ending...you are so busy trying to figure everything else out that it suprises you...messed up i tell you. But should be check out!

Well....we are back in the state of oklahoma....the trip to san antonio was really fun....we all had good times....well....i had fun. we went and visited both families...and, well...i'm not sure that that is really very fun... :) it rained most of the trip...we were going to go to fiesta texas but didn't want to get rained on so we didn't go....we ended up going to the alamo one day and that was pretty fun and we went swimming at cody's aunt, one day.

I found a new place to visit....its called house on the rock and its in wisconsin. it seems like a really, really strange place and thats why i'm interested. :) http://www.thehouseontherock.com/index.htm check it out if you like...i learned about it from a book i'm reading called....american gods by neil gaiman...so far its a pretty good book...and last night we watched a movie called mirror mask writen by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean...damn, it was good and a lot weird....which i like. There is another movie coming out based on one of his other books called stardust...it comes out august 10...it looks really really good! I'm trying to think about the other movies that we have seen but nothing is coming to me at the moment!

Ah, yes...i did remember one....its called Shinobi. Its a Ninja movie and its really good...kind of a romeo and juliet thing but not quite. it does have kind of a twist to the ending...but its really good.

Day number two in a row of writing a blog....nothing new since yesterday really though. Except today i am at work :( and my AC is fixed :)

I'm sick of looking at medical records so i'm writing this instead....

So some movies that i've recently seen....Friday night, Theresa, Steve, Cody and I watched Pans Laborynth....which was really good but nothing what i thought it was going to be. Then Cody and I watch Finding Neverland the other night....Holy shit....its freakin' flippin' sad! but good! Lets see, what else...we went and saw spiderman 3....i kind of liked it....there was a lot of drama and less build up of bad guys though....which i wasn't to happy with but whatever.

I started watching Carnivale yesterday....its an HBO series and it is messed up but good. Then there is heroes...i watched the first episode of that yesterday and i need the whole thing to come out on DVD....hooray!

Well, i guess thats about it for now...i'm excited about the SA trip....

I'm playing hooky today....I've pretty much caught up on my work and we are getting a lighter case load and i don't have a car...yeap....you get a new used car and look what happens...you have no AC. Good thing its still covered under warranty! Woohoo! So this week at work i will work about 3 days...i may have to take off a little early on Thursday and next week i will only be working 3 days! Hooray....Cody and i are going to San Antonio....our first couple trip together, hehe! I'm certain it will go okay....his sister lives there and i have family there so its going to be a great family time! We have pretty much met each others entire family so its no big deal anymore! Actually, some of you (if anyone still reads this) have met his sister....she came to a roller derby bout and then came with me to the brewery! Okay, i promise not to ramble on and on about cody!

I did have a great time the other night....it kind of felt like old times!

Lets see, what else can i write about! Well...i do know music....there is this neat thing that paste has started....its called discrevolt....if you are in a band or interested in new music you should check it out...discrevolt.com....its going to replace the cd. what it is, is a card....that you get something like 15 points on...and you design and sell your card at shows....then the people that buy them go to the website, type in the code on the card and get to download your songs....you can change your songs any time....and they don't have to download them all at once...in case you do change the songs.....its really a great idea....they offered for a while, 100 free cards with free shipping and the stringents barely got in on the deal.....i will be getting our cards tomorrow and i'm excited....right now we don't have anything to sell but when we do every card we sell will be profit....nice really. Above is the picture of our card!

As for new music that i'm listening to.....lets see....i'm digging the new travis....theres a band called the tossers, man...i feel like there is a lot but for the life of me i can't really think of them at the moment....well...i'll just have to let you know later. although, at work i've been listening to the cool as folk station on yahoo music and am finding many new bands that i really like....and then most of them are on e-music so that works out well! :)

As for what i'm doing with music....i, of course, have the stringents....for a list of our upcoming shows see thestringentents.com :)...actually, sarah will be out of town a lot this summer and we don't have many shows in the month of june or july but the ones we do have are going to be pretty cool.....on that everyone should come to is on a Sunday night at Edgewine (?) park July 29th...it is on the south side but the good part of the south side....its a twilight concert put on by the okc arts council....best part is that it is free....who can beat a free concert in the park....i'll

keep you posted. Then i'm working on a couple of projects with my friend Lisa Curl....we are currently starting a band of sorts....we've practiced a couple of time but don't really have a good idea on what are sound is yet.....but that comes. Then I'm playing with Lisa on her music, already established....we are going to be playing the woody gutherie festival....and several times at pearls lakeside....then we have a show in dallas coming up.....good times really.

Cody and i got our tickets to ACL last weekend. if anyone is interested in coming with us let me know...we can take the short bus (thats what i call my box car)....its a pretty good line up i think. http://www.aclfest.com/lineup.aspx i'm sure most of you have already looked at this...i'm most excited about seeing andrew bird....man, he is killer. :) Fionn Regan is going to be there too...who i think i blogged a while back about....i like his stuff too! actually now that i look at the line up again...i'm getting more excited...yes i do know that its not until september but i do love live music....

Okay...i hope everyone had a wonderful day at work or whatever it is you all are doing and i'm going to play around on the computer and watch more carnival (which is really killer, btw, and really weird) and possibly some heroes...and then who knows what else....i may be back to type another blog about movies i've watched lately....who knows...if not i will do that later....yet again i'm going to try to start writing more often...it got hard all the sudden when we started getting more case and i was actually working all day....but i think i'm starting to get into the groove of work...which is nice and i think i may be there for a little while at least...well, until i go on tour with lisa that is (haha, that was a joke :)

when did WATERMELON become a veggie! and why the hell does oklahoma find the need to make it a state veggie...because we are stupid! anyway...i just had to say that, i'm better now!

something i did find out just now that kind of made me a little happy....the red cup now takes credit cards! woohoo! as long as its over $5 you no longer need cash...how exciting is that!

congrats to my bff, whitney, who is officially engaged...hooray! i guess that whole light thing really worked for us! thank goodness theresa watches oprah! hehe!
