Compliments of Shawn and Awkward Family Photos (.com)

Also my new profile picture on facebook. I'm so proud of Shawn's sweet skills.

Concerts are fun, fun are concerts.

I went to Sunset Junction for the second year in a row. Last year it was Broken Social Scene, Cold War Kids and some other local indie type bands. This year I went because (drum roll, please) Conor Oberst was playin! I have a not-so-secret crush on him. The Submarines and The Delta Spirit were also playing, and some other cool indie type bands. AND (drum roll again, please) Jenny Lewis di a surprise performance!!!!

I am now uploading the video I took of Jenny Lewis and Conor Oberst. I will post it soon.

Beyond the awesome concerts, the festival was crazy weird. Last year was like a circus. This year was like a circus AND a sex-fest. People with "Love Condoms" t-shirts were passing out condoms and personal lubricant samples. HIV test booths. Gay and staight porn booths. I stayed by the stage most of the time because the festival was pretty scary for a good girl like me. :)

Dear Diary,
Today Ry Ry taught me what the medical device commonly known as a halo is. I'm both intrigued and disturbed.
Love,
Cyndi

Let's play a game!

The game is called "WOULD YOU DATE THIS MAN??" Tell me, are the following things hot or NOT?

Guy #1. He turns to me and tells me about a movie he has just seen. It's called Nature Porn. Apparently it's educational porn about animals.

Guy #2. He takes off his shirt (we're going in the jacuzzi). Giant tattoo of a skull with smoke coming out of it's mouth. (Skulls smoke??)

Guy #3. Tells me he is willing to leave his wife for me.

Guy #4. Sees my stilettos in my trunk and asks to try them on.

ALL THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO ME THIS WEEK.

"Forget love, I'd rather fall into chocolate."

Cyndi is...

...wearing pearls, doing housework, and listening to east coast rap.

...almost finished reading Larry's Kidney.

...nursing a bruised ribcage.

...in search of the perfect flower.

"Get in the Car
And don't touch nothing
Sit in the car
Let discuss somethin'
Either we lovin' or I'll see you tomorrow..."

This morning...

...as I was taking a jog around my complex, I saw a man walking his bird. Parrot, to be more exact.

Still Laughing...

Thank you, Ry Ry.

Also compliments of Ry Ry:
Translation Party!

Listening to the Kooks...forgot how much I heart them.

Sandwiches...mmm....

If you know me, you know my love for sandwiches. So how have I not heard about this website?

I took the "Sandwich Recommender" Quiz and this is what I got:
CHICKEN & BASIL SANDWICH

1/2 cup Hellmann’s® or Best Foods® Real Mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
8 slices whole grain bread
4 medium green leaf lettuce leaves
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, grilled and sliced
4 slices provolone cheese (about 4 oz.)
8 slices tomato
2 slices bacon, crisp-cooked and halved crosswise

Instructions:
Combine Hellmann’s® or Best Foods® Real Mayonnaise with basil in small bowl. Evenly spread mayonnaise mixture on four bread slices, then top with remaining ingredients.
Also terrific with Hellmann’s® or Best Foods® Canola Cholesterol Free Mayonnaise or Hellmann's® or Best Foods® Light Mayonnaise.

AWESOME!

Mewo

I don't care if they are washed-up, sell-outs...I still love Death Cab.

"Neon Bible" will always be one of the greatest albums I've ever heard. Amazing.

It's my new goal to go to the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Maybe I'll even try to volunteer.

Can't wait to see Conor Oberst in two weeks.

Story of the day: I was driving with the top down on my car, got attacked by wind and went to brush my hair out of my face. The button on my jacket got caught in my hair. I had to drive with my hand up in the air and my head cocked to the side until I could find a safe place to pull over to detangle. Yes, I looked like a complete moron and yes, other drivers noticed, pointed, and stared.

Saw (500)Days of Summer and LOVED it. If you have not seen it, please watch the following preview for your consideration:
