mister jones and me

Happy birthday, bioproject!

I'm going to Cleveland tomorrow and staying overnight. Why?

DAVID BOWIE concert.

Ticket fell into my lap in an odd way, and as a result I'm going with my mom, a friend of hers, and the friend's teenage son. But heck, I don't care, because it's DAVID BOWIE! I've wanted to see DAVID BOWIE for years! yay for DAVID BOWIE! What on earth will I wear?

(how many more times do you think I can say DAVID BOWIE in all-caps? well, wait for the concert review! hee hee.)

Anyway, aside from maybe putting up some links for y'all later tonight, this will be my last post for a little bit. I really want to stay offline as much as possible in the next few days, because I feel like I've been spending too much time online.

keep you busy

(i'm too lazy to stick target="_blank" onto all these links. which i think come partly from bookslut, partly from mefi, i don't know where else.)
