So I didn't blog on Friday due to getting slightly sick after seeing Xmen... Not that Xmen made me sick, It was actually a really good movie, but the popcorn on the other hand, did. BOO to popcorn. I thought since I don't really have a current affair I really want to blog about today, (there are plenty to pick I just don't want do to any of them) I'll use this Saturday blog to go over the live music of this week.
Here Come the Mummies is at the Bluebird in Bloomington tonight. Not my cup of tea but they put on a pretty interesting show!
Alejandro Escovedo is at the Vogue on Monday (6/9)
Alison Krauss and Union Station will be at the Lawn @ White River State Park on Thursday (6/10) I love working at the Lawn and being able to hear great music LIVE even as I work. So looking forward to listening to Alison!
Friday the 10th is by far the most hectic concert date of the season :( I hate it when everything happens on one night. We have Iron & Wine at the Vogue, which I will be attending. Happy Birthday Kristy! Panic at the Disco will be at the Egyptian Room at the Old National Centre (Murat) and probably the most disappointing part of it all.... The Black Keys will be at the Lawn. I am SO bummed I will be missing both of these shows. But even more so The Black Keys. I expect at least one person who will be there to keep up with the texts so I don't miss a thing :)

MUSIC!!!
Today is Thursday and that means MUSIC TIME!!! I have three songs that I've had on repeat the past few days.
1. Tegan and Sara, The Con :
I love this song so much. It doesn't matter what kind of mood I'm in, this song makes me want to dance. I'm not sure the song should make me want to dance... And really I cant dance so it's probably best that I DON'T dance, but I want to when I hear this song. I'm an emotions kind of girl. The more you can feel the emotion in a song, no matter what that emotion is, the more I love that song. Most of Tegan and Sara's song you feel the emotion and you say "yea I have felt like that before." or "I feel that way right now" This song just stands out as my favorite for the emotional pull they have on me.
2. Death Cab for Cutie, Lack of Color:
Once again this is an emotional thing. This song is so pretty, and so soft and so heartbreaking. I love it. I love how simple the song is, yet says everything you ever want a chance to say to someone. Makes you think really hard and dig down deep for the feelings you want, and keeps you feeling great at the same time.
3. Blue Foundation, Eyes on Fire (Zeds Dead Remix):
Thank you Tyler for this one. After he sent me a link to the video, I became in love with this version of the song. While Twilight introduced me to the song, I didn't have an attachment to it until now. The dude dancing helps, but something about this remix once again makes me want to dance. Of course after watching this guy dance, I will stay seated :)
( of course I've added the link to the video Tyler sent me)

Xmen, Hockey, and Hangovers....
So I actually have a few subjects to blog about tonight. YAAY FOR ME!
I wanna start with the Hangover II. I went on Thursday to see it ( I know not technically this week but I cant pass up the chance to rave about it.) This movie is a must see. No movie sequel should ever be compared to the first. With that being said, this movie kept the same attitude and storyline as the first, but it was very much its own movie. It was raunchy, crude, hilarious, and at times frightening.... pretty much everything I want in a movie. I would worship just about anything Zach Galifianakis does. His awkward humor that leaves you wondering if you should laugh or not is the greatest thing to happen to ANY movie, let alone something as awesome as this one. Bradly Cooper makes Phil, the burned out father/husband who creates chaos wherever he goes, seem like such a badass. Then there is Stu... If I were lucky enough to be part of a wolf pack I would be the Stu of the group. Ed Helms creates the greatest worrier in the world. Everything about his poor choices and insane phobias make the character of Stu my favorite.
"When a monkey nibbles on a weenis, it is funny in any language" Well said Alan... Well said.
Next up, Xmen Origins. My dad and I will be going to see this on Friday night after work. I am really excited for this. I'm sort of a comic geek. While I can't carry on great conversations and I don't know everything there is to know about comics, I can appreciate and respect the novels/books/whatever is created, that brings us such great stories of heroes and beings that keep "our world" safe. Xmen isn't one I know a great deal about outside of the movies Hollywood has given us, but I do enjoy those movies and hope to add this one to a favorite. I'll let you know what I think of it on Monday.
With that, I leave you all with a few simple thoughts on one of my favorite sports. Tonight I am FINALLY able to watch my first playoff hockey games. I work way too much and missed every game my Hawks played. Because of that, and to support my buddy Kate, I will be cheering for Boston in this final round for the Stanley Cup. GO BRUINS!!!
