I was
so gonna write a blog about the Los Angeles Times Festival of books... but I didn't. Then I was
totally gonna write a blog about the She & Him show on Tuesday... but I didn't.
OH, then I was gonna write a blog on how I should be doing math homework but haven't had time to actually do it because I've been sleep deprived from driving back and forth from LA... but I never did that because I fell asleep. Ah and then Friday came and my brother, Alex, and I had tickets to see Michale Buble and while waiting for Buble to take the stage I told Alex "I'm
so gonna write a blog about this"... turns out, I didn't. Then after sleeping through almost all of yesterday, I went to check out Birtt Daniel's solo show at The Belly Up... I never said I would write a blog about the show but I
so intended to.
So here it goes... all the shit I did and didn't do last week, in a quick summary because I got a shit load of math homework to catch up on.
