Eatin' Up the Holidays

Alright, so this will be the last post from me for about a week.

My schedule in the coming days: work, sleep, work, dinner with the latin boy, sleep, drive to Santa Barbara...and stay there for a few days to visit the sis.

So I'm sure I'll have stories to tell when I return.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (early) Make sure too eat. A lot. "Wait, we need a holiday for that? We do that everyday" --Jim Gaffigan

Ashley Pocket...

...is my new name for now (given to me by the great Jim Gaffigan). The show was AMAZING. And my favorite new joke was about circumcision (go figure). Yes, that's right, Jim can make circumcision damn funny.

We didn't get to take a picture with Jim (the Wiltern Theatre wouldn't let us, sad face), but we did get to meet him and got signatures on our shirts, Exhibit A:

And the front of our shirts:

The back of our shirts said "This is sticky without pants on." ( A quote made by Jim that sounds more awkward than it actually is). The backs also said "ri-dic-ulous" in small letters.

Anyway, Ashley Pocket is signing out cause she's tired from all the events of the weekend/today! But I just wanted to provide you all with a few photos of my enchanted evening with Mr. Bologna Gaffigan himself :)

And One More for the Girls

So I had to write one more post because a) I was inspired to and b) I still have TOO MUCH time on my hands seeing as I haven't started that part time job just yet...stupid paperwork!



Enter Chris Cornell.

Do I even have to write that this man is too hot for his own good? Now, I remember him, of course, from Soundgarden (and recently Audioslave). But alas, I was too young to appreciate his dashing good looks then.

But I have always always always loved his voice. Putting his looks aside (kinda hard to do), this man's voice mesmerizes me. It's unique. It's beautiful in an unsettling way. It's commanding. It's dark. All of which equals extra sex appeal. Take a listen to "Black Hole Sun" again, acoustic style, and melt with me:

I've always adored that peculiar, poetic song. So here's this great looking man, with a sexy voice who ALSO has the talent to write something amazing...man.

Side Note: Sorry if I sound like a sex-crazed, hormonal, musician-lovin' groupie here. But there are maybe 1% of musicians that bring that side of me out...ok, the end.

P.S. STILL ESTATIC OVER JIM GAFFIGAN (refer to post below).

Ready to Laugh My Ass Off

GUESS WHAT? GUESS WHAT? GUESS WHAT?

*Ahem* Sorry, for being annoying, I'm just VERRRRRRRRRRRRY excited for the adventure I am going to embark on this weekend to see none other than the comic mastermind himself, Jim Gaffigan. Don't know who he is? That's a shame....so here's a clip of one of my fave jokes:



:) You know you are jealous (not to rub it in or anything).

So I'll be in L.A. over the weekend, at the Wiltern (never been there before). Oh I'll have stories to tell. Laughter is a weekend well spent.

P.S. A note for Frankie--This means that I will have seen Foo Fighters and Jim Gaffigan. Ohhhh yeah, I think I win!

P.P.S. Did you guys happen to see the new South Park last night? Priceless...

Just a little more on Mormons.

Why didn't anyone comment on the Chocolat part in my last post? haha.

Ok, just to clarify I was mostly joking in the previous post. Well, being that I am Christian, I do find the Mormon beliefs more than crazy. However, I do have some Mormon friends that are aren't that crazy, I guess. haha. And these are friends that live by the rules of Mormonism and really practice it.

I also want to add that I commend anyone who has the strength to follow and comply with a religion. Going against the norm, and trying to remain faithful in a world of sex, drugs and money is hard. Really hard.

So I can admire Mormons for all that they sacrifice (going on mission trips, church everyday at 5am, etc.)

But dude, you just can't have 18 wives. Ok? Cause that's where I draw the line.

Alright, that's all I have to say for now.

Random thing I HAVE to tell you: I'm going to see JIM GAFFIGAN'S standup in November in L.A. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. If you don't know who Jim Gaffigan is, I feel sorry for you.
