jus jus like a cirrcuss

LOOK EH LUH

So

I planned on going to the Chicago Lykke Li show, but with a minor conflict it ended up being a no go. ANyway. .So of course i had to see my swedish desire and decided 2 hours prior to needing to leave that I HAD to go. Accompanying me was Eric.  (see below)

Sooo we left for Minnesota, with just enough time to be right on time, but one problem.. no tickets. Lykke li (har har luckily get it) it wasn't sold out.

Here is the entrance,,,,, pretttyyyy kewlllllll....

Next storyline: awaiting the show we were sat in this what seemed like huuggeee lounge, complete with big red couches and printed tablecloths... While waiting, I decided to prepare the lighting setting on my camera,and accidentally took a picture with a bright flash as this girl was walking by. Now I have this very close up picture of this girl who uncomfortably apologized for getting in the way and then offered to take our picture. Me being the pale individual I am, immediately turned tomato and as a result had to edit the picture... One downfall, tan 1/2 mexican eric is now pale with me. The point of saying mexican was to clarify that he is tan.

The show was amazing. It was on a sunday, and since in the midwest our best dance move is standing with our arms crossed bobbing our heads... or MAYBE if you are real crazy, bending your knees.. she didn't seem that happy about it. She even made a few jesus jokes, like we shouldn't be afraid to get down on our knees and started a song out by singginnggg jeeessuusssss... all in good fun

  

The group that went before her (sorry for the order) was Wildbirds and Peacedrums. Of course when Eric saw the poster for them he was immediately excited. Since most of you don't know him, one of his favorite jokes includes cafes and liberals and so a group with that sort of name only added to his impression of my taste.... Maybe I made him sound bad? oops

Wildbirds and Peacedrums. Also amazing. I bought their cd. I like to run to it. They are a little insane. I suggest listening to doubt and hope (you can find it on my playlist located on the right). Favorite part of the night: her sparkly drumsticks

Swell Goodbyes

Dont cha wanna

I haven't posted in a while, but thats because carrying around my huge tourist camera is not as comfortable feeling in Iowa.

Christmas: Went to my sisters and did a gift exchange. Of course all I wanted was some sort of funding but ended up winning these ridiculous tennis shoe slippers and multi colored socks. Exactly what my wardrobe was missing. Then I became the baby of the party and my sister's fiance ended up giving me his HyVee gift card in exchange for the big shoes. See everyone this is what studying abroad does to you, turns you into... some one who is really poor? But really her fiance is just way too nice and is probably trying to suck up to me so I accept him into our family. Only kidding :)

New Years: Went to clear lake. Wow I'm getting really lazy on this post so that is all I'm going to say for now until I find motivation.

In between: went to the vikings vs. Giants game in Minnesota. Was forced into wearing purple and gold because of course Scheels decided not to sell one piece of Giants clothing. Probably a better choice because there were some super fans sitting all around me and I would have probably been killed if I was wearing anything else. PLUS the Giants were already safe in the playoffs so it didn't really matter if they lost, which of course is why they let the Vikings win :)

Also a new update is that I can't breath because my nose has been stuffed up for about 2 weeks, and my snot has been orangy red for over one. Too much information? too bad, this blog just went personal. Today I decided I should work on my health problem and took 2 fish oil pills. Which are ridiculously hugemungous.

Sorry that blog was so boring, just keeping it updated somewhat just in case my FL friends are still reading. School starts on Monday so wish me luck because I am graduating in May and I will need a lot of it.

The real reason for this post:

Merry Christmas and Goodbye Florence

Florence Friends
