Top 5 Things I Say I'll Be Doing This Summer (Compared to What I Will Actually Do Instead):

I'm channelling McSweeney's today to bring you my list of the Top 5 Things I Say I Will Do This Summer.

Immediately following that is the list of What I Will Actually Be Doing Instead.


What I Say I’ll De Doing:

  1. Riding my bike everywhere, especially along the Lake.
  2. Buckling down and studying every night for Chemistry.
  3. Going to Lollapalooza.
  4. Learning to skateboard.
  5. Drinking heavily.

What I’ll Really Be Doing Instead:

  1. Taking the Blue Line. Or, deciding that I don’t have the energy and staying home instead.
  2. Getting up early and skipping the gym so that I can study Chemistry since I didn’t bother studying the night before. Or, maybe just not studying at all and sleeping in another hour.
  3. Not going to Lollapalooza. (I mean really -- how many times can you see Death Cab on a hot, steamy crowded afternoon in August??)
  4. Buying a skateboard and clearing out room in my closet to store it until I finally decide in two years time to donate it since I never used it.
  5. Drinking heavily.

Summer: Started, Is Starting, Will Start

Summer Started...
  • ... five weeks ago, the night I took my first sip of that "fresca" drink from the Alibi Room and a Pimm's Cup from The White Horse in Seattle with ReckenRoll and Kate...
  • ... four weeks ago, while "attempting" the Helicopter on the dancefloor at Erin & Ryan's wedding reception...
  • ... three weeks ago, while enjoying a late-night g&t with friends outside the Aalto Lounge on Belmont in Portland, marvelling at the cobalt night sky past midnight...
  • ... two weeks ago, when I decided Niner will teach me to skateboard...

Summer Is Starting...

  • ... today, when I walked into my Summer Session chemistry class and let out a groan...
  • ... today, when I decided that despite this, I am going to have a good summer...

Summer Will Start...

  • ... soon, when I figure out what my summer drink will be...
  • ... this week, when I figure out what my Summer Jam will be (and I'm open for suggestions)...
  • ... someday, when the Liar's Club sets a date for our Blegger...

When did summer start for you?

'Cuz It's Never Too Early...

Tickets to Pitchfork went on sale yesterday. Hells yeah I bought mine.
(I missed the advanced tickets for Lolla 08 last week, but whatevs.)

I think this means there might be a Summer this year.
