Things to do
1. STOP EATING SO MUCH PIZZA.
2. Obtain Brazilian Tourist Visa (and Brazilian beach body of course).
3. Purchase Burning Man ticket and visualize incredible Burning Man costumes.
4. Learn enough French in the next two months to survive in Paris for several days.
5. REALIZE THAT I AM LIVING A RADICALLY BLESSED LIFE AND ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF IT!!!!
Also, sometime in the next few months if some hot bearded man would like to step into my life, that'd be great. Thanks. Seriously, so ruined by my Park City visit. It is the land of beautiful dream men that all like to flirt with Lori. Why does this not happen in chicago??? WHYYY?
And just for good measure....
Seriously Lori...put down the pizza.

I can't seem to get off my ass today. I have so much I need/want to do but this computer has sucked me in. I have been cruising all these music blogs and finding some killer music. Right now I am listening to an old recording of Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel. God, that man made some beautiful music. In other news, I am going to die if I don't get a new laptop soon. I have got to be able to download new stuff. I haven't had any access to downloads for four months. Too long. I want the Fleet Foxes album and so much more.
Work has been pretty crazy lately. Delays galore and crazy, crazy people. I've been meaning to write down some of the craziest stuff that's happened, but of course I haven't and now I'm drawing a blank.
I'm having a very tough time figuring out whether or not I want to go to SXSW or if I want to go to Brazil to see Radiohead. I know I can go to Brazil anytime, but I have the opportunity to see Radiohead there and Kraftwerk and I'll be able to go with a Portugese speaker. It's tough. I know I'll have fun whatever I do...I just don't want to be sitting on the beach in Brazil wishing I was getting hugs from friends and drinking Sparkleberries at Emo's. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DOOOO.
Last night was fun. Had dinner at FlatTop Grill with some friends and then went over to Natalie's to play with Mason and have some more drinks. It's soo crazy how fast lives can change...two years ago this time Natalie was getting crazy with Trisha and I and now she's got a husband and a child. CRAZY. Sadly, I think two years from now my life probably won't be much different...I'll just be making more money and have more stamps on my passport. Haha.

p.s.
I have no idea how to use this blog...how to add friends, etc. Help!
Tonight I went out for Eli's birthday and I did shots. I did not plan on doing shots. Shots are bad. They are also fun. Eli has been a wonderful little gift to me this year. God bless him.
Back to the bird tomorrow and so not excited but thank goodness for working with friends.
This book is breaking my heart. I have decided that I hate it. Shocking.

Yes. Please.
I'm reading Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist and it's really adorable. This paragraph pretty much sums up the adorableness of it. I think chance moments like this are the only reason I go out anymore...you never know what can happen...
Dev's elbow hits my back and I press forward and she's right there and I'm reaching out and she's right there and right at that moment the amps amplify and the music takes on such a pulse that it becomes my heartbeat and her heartbeat and I know it and she knows it and this is the point where we could break apart and that would be it, totally it. But I look into her eyes and she looks into my eyes and we recognize it-the excitement of being here, the excitement of being now. And maybe I'm realizing what a part of it she is and maybe she's realizing what a part of it I am, because suddenly we're not crashing so much as we're combining. The chords swirling around us are becoming a tornado, tightening and tightening and tightening, and we are at the center of it, and we are at the center of each other. My wrist touches hers right at the point of our pulses, and I swear I can feel it. That thrum. We are moving to the music and at the same time we are a stillness. I am not losing myself in the barrage. I am finding here. And she is-yes, she is finding me. The crowd is pressing in on us and the bassline is revealing everything and we are two people who are part of a lot more people, and at the same time we're our own part. There isn't loneliness, only this intense twoliness. There's only one way to test it, and that is to dare a movement, to push it farther and see if she wants it to go there. If find her lips and I make that kiss and she's pulling my hair and I've got the fabric of her jacket bunched in a fist and it's nothing like talking and it's right there and we're taking it and taking it. And my eyes are closed and then my eyes open and I see her eyes are open and there's a part of her that's pulling back even as our bodies are pressing and it's the fear, of course there's the fear, and I just hold her close to tell her I understand.
