1. I sliced open my left hand index finger last night. I was trying to cut a bagel and decided I should cut my finger open instead. The gimongous bandaid on my finger is making for some excellent typing skills this morning, too. This is why I shouldn't be allowed out of the house.

2. I wish it would cool off already. I'm so sick of waking up all hot and sweaty with my covers kicked off the bed.

3. I am so beyond excited for The Office S2 DVDs. A 17 minute gag reel plus two and a half hours of deleted scenes? I want this now.

4. Ashley and I are meeting madmoisellestar and some others for a cheapo baseball game tonight. I got one of my friends from work hooked on Arrested Development, so sometime this week she's going to come over so we can marathon S3, hopefully tomorrow so we can get a little Project Runway action in, too. My boss is going out of town at the end of the week, so I'm hoping the next few days are pretty low-key around here. That's pretty much in for this week in Heatherland.

5. I'm trying to get back into the groove of posting stuff, can you tell? :p

So, the Foo Fighters played an acoustic show at DAR Constitution Hall on Tuesday night, and I just happened to be there.

( Setlist )

I say this every time, but those boys put on such a great show. Taylor and Dave have this adorable chemistry on stage. And! Pat Smear was there! I really liked the flow of this type of show, too, Dave got to tell us a lot of little stories about the songs, and made fun of the hometown accent, and how he left us all in the dust as soon as he got famous. I really love seeing him here, because he grew up here and used to record here and knows the area and makes all the right jokes about the place.

My life is one step closer to complete, though, because I have seen February Stars performed live. Hands down, that's my favorite Foo Fighters song, and I never ever thought that some random song from the end of an album they made almost ten years ago would be played on stage for me, but there it was. For the encore, he came out alone and told us a really long story (that we've all basically heard before) about writing Friend of a Friend in Washington when he was living with Kurt and Chris. He wailed out on Best of You, and then told the drummer joke ("what's the last thing the drummer said before getting kicked out of the band?") and dedicated Everlong to all the drummers in the audience. It was so much fun to just sit back and listen to the man's songs, and I'm not lying when I tell you that every time I have the opportunity to go see these guys play, I will gladly fork over my money.

I keep meaning to write about a million other things -- I went to Bethesda and saw Laura and James last weekend, and we had Indian food and frappachinos and spice cake and it was lots of fun and needs to become more than an annual thing. (Laura, I swear I'm switching my files over! Music soon, I promise!) I want to do that character/'ship/episode meme, I want to post pictures, including one of my new (green!) computer. Also, I'm trying to make plans for my upcoming work-free weekend, which is fast being filled up with things that aren't sitting around in my pajamas doing nothing like I'd originally planned. Which, I guess is actually okay with me. Having plans and seeing people is nice, too.

Anyway, I have a ton of work I'm not doing. So I should do that. And also link to possibly one of the greatest JIMspams I've ever seen. Mostly for my benefit, but also for Ashley, who will hopefully see this before she runs off to Newport again. :)
