everybody knows it hurts to grow up

added another city to my mental travel log. this past weekend, i went to Providence and hung out with MCP friend michelle. i had found out about a howie day and ben folds show at Brown and asked her to come, which she in turn told her friends about and so it became a thing where after the show (which was during the day) we had a yummy barbecue and drank beer all afternoon.

see concert review here. the cliff notes: matt nathanson: hilarious and growing talent. howie day: verra awesome and lovin' him a lot, although performance was a bit lacking. ben folds: freakishly fabulous and truly terrific; there aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe his awesomeness.

it's a good thing the closet coldstone and j.p. licks require me to walk a distance in order to get there. not only does the distance discourage me from gorging unhealthy amounts of ice cream, but in the event that i do traverse over to the ice cream shops, i am forced to work off any unnecessary calories in the walk. point in case, in the previous week, in which the weather was bee-yoo-ti-ful, i had ice cream 4 out of the 7 days. it was just nice, really, to chillax in the sun and munch on ice cream like there wasn't a care in the world. we need more of those kinds of moments. [sigh]

i've decided. if i weren't going to be a pharmacist, i would wish to be a roady/band-aid. travelling to different cities, being in with the band, meeting other cool bands. yes, that would be the dream. that, or working somewhere within the industry. well, ideally, i'd like to BE a rock star, but i would totally settle for like, towel holder. [sigh again]

two weeks, kids, TWO WEEKS. ^^
