The Sweater Song

This weekend was, in a word, awesome. I had little doubt it wouldn't live up to its expectations. So, random bullet points of my weekend:

-I now own New Moon. After getting it at midnight, I promptly came home and FREAKED out for thirty minutes while watching THAT MANY extended scenes. Then realized there were no deleted scenes, cursed Summit in my head, then called and told my lil bro that he needed to get the Target edition. I understand why everything was cut, but oh man, Mr. Weitz. You rock my world because that was still quality stuff.

-Saturday I watched the real movie. And Villanova lose before heading out to meet a friend to go to the park. After wearing improper shoes to the park, I decide I should probably go home and change them before the KSU 2nd round game for the later birthday party. But then I score check and KU is losing to Northern Iowa. This means I will endure the pain of the shoes to get to the bar to watch it.

-I make it to the bar at half time and watch Northern Iowa do their thing. They had me nervous, but then made an UNBELIEVABLE three pointer, and I knew KU was done for good. Then I promptly start worrying if KSU is going to follow this upset trend. Nope, have no fear, my small but mighty crowd of around 30 KSU grads loudly enjoyed our victory and trip to the first Sweet 16 many of us can ever remember attending.

-@KiraCNN's awesome birthday party.

But my real reason for writing this post is to share in summary:
1) New Moon is still kickin ass. (And I found the deleted scenes online!)
2) First & Second Round NCAA weekend is my FAVORITE. In summary: We won and KU lost.
3) The End, Seattle's Alternative radio station rocks. (example last few songs played: rise against, anberlin, weezer, stone temple pilots and now Orgy's Blue Monday). I LOVE THIS STATION. Listen.

Oh JP, our Cats need to keep kickin' it. I just want everyone to lose or fall off the face of the Earth. My poor boss, the KU fan, called me not two minutes after the game was over. Poor man was actually calling for help had no idea that I was having a hard time containing my giggling and then calmly tell him he was going to have to start over, because he was calling for a different reason than I thought.
