Everclear

Well last night, Justin and I went to see Everclear in concert, one of my favorite bands. The concert was suppose to start at 7:30, but of course it didn't start until 8. We had gotten there early, so we were right up at the stage. There was only one guy in front of me and so we had a really good view of the stage. The opener was cool, it was a local band from the cities called Holiday. They played until 8:45, then we had to wait until 9:30 until Everclear finally came on. That's when the craziness started.
Now that Everclear was on, the people in the back started pushing forward and trying to get up front. This was causing huge waves to go through the people in the front, being pushed back, so we pushed back because we didn't want to lose out sweet spots. On both sides of us, there were couples and the guys were desperately holding on to their significant other, like Justin was doing, so us girls wouldn't get knocked onto the floor. Art (the lead singer) even asked people to knock it off, but of course no one was going to listen.
People were starting to crowdsurf, and Art was like, "Please, crowdsurfing is like so 1994." One kid who looked like he was 15 and drunk, got surfed up to the stage right after they finished with "I will buy you a new life," and like stole the mic and started horribly singing, Art was trying to ask him to get off the stage but finally some security guys had to escort him off.
Other than the pushing the concert was great, it was really cool seeing him so close. I was so close that I could see his heavily tattooed arms. On his lower right arm, he has all three Powerpuff Girls flying, he does have a little girl so I'm guessing that's her fav cartoon.
They played a wide variety of songs from their albums, and the last half they played radio hits, Volvo Driving Soccer Mom, Wonderful, Father of Mine, I will buy you a new life, even played two new songs off a new record although he didn't say when it's coming out.
For the encore, he pulled a bunch of girls up on stage and played Jenny (867-5309). It was lots of fun, we didn't get home until 11pm and poor Justin had to work at 5am. When the alarm went off however, he told me to move it up another hour and say that he missed the alarm. haha I haven't talked to him yet so I'm not sure how it that went over.

Side note: My computer is not working and right now the cause is unknown. I don't like Justin's comp, so I probably won't blog much unless I have something important to say, like next week Lost episode. This is also why I'm not commenting on blogs, because I don't have my favorites list.
Later!

Park pictures

Recently, myself, Justin and our friends Britta and Kris all went to a local park in downtown Fargo. Britta, is a photo journalist and as a wedding present she gave us a pretty frame and a promise to take a photo of us for the frame. The next few pics are from that outing to the park were she took lots of pictures of us and the park. I think I'll post more tomorrow, because I just realized that I didn't include the actual photo that we're going to use for the frame.

Here's Britta, she took these pictures. 

Britta has no fear when it comes to taking pictures of people she doens't know. I on the other hand could never do it. I love this picture because this little girl looks like she couldn't be any happier. 

In this picture, Justin is trying to make up for a horrendous mistake that he had just made, and I was mad at him and not letting him kiss me as you can see. What did he do? He got our wedding date wrong by two days. Men. 

Here is Justin, myself and Kris being immature 

Eggs found in Dino mom

Rayna sent me this link and it is about a really cool discovery in China. The prep crew of the museum was preping out the skeleton of an oviraptor when they came across two eggs within it. Now we have oviraptor eggs so it was easy to determine from egg shape, and egg shell structure that this was oviraptor and not some wierd fluke. I'm not up on my biology, but apparently how the eggs were in there, or something made scientist at least in the articles i've read so far belive that this is more evidence of dinos being a cross between reptiles and birds. Well wish I had time to talk about this more because it's very interesting, but I have to get back to my paper. I've posted a pic of one of the eggs found in the dino mom and an artists version of an oviraptor below.

Here is an artists view of an oviraptor. The feathers are a huge stretch but everyone wants to put feathers on the raptors now for some reason. Anyways, I think the pic might originally be from National Geographic but I got it at http://www.prehistoria.piwko.pl/gal_theropoda.htm. 

This is one of the eggs taken out of the oviraptorosaurian mom, it's about the size of a pineapple the article says, interesting stuff.

Donna, thank you for www.uglyweddingdress.com. This dress in the bottom left has appropriatly been named the Condom Dress. I have been laughing for the last 5 min. with tears running down my face. I feel so bad for this model. Thank you uglyweddingdress.com, thank you. 

Random pictures and random news

Well below I have posted some random pictures that I've been meaning to put on here. I hope you like them.
In other news, Justin is now in Nevada for his job interview. Our friend Sarah just came back a few days ago and thinks that this would be a fun and interesting job. Please wish Justin the best of luck, when he left yesterday morning he was very nervous.
I just finished my last test today before finals. I can't believe that we are graduating soon and will enter the "real world" I really hope our future hold for us to be moving to Nevada, I definitely don't want to continue working for Target anymore it's time to move on from there. But there are not many geology opportunities here in Fargo.
Happier news is that this weekend my friend Britta and I are having a girlie day. We're starting at 2pm with some shopping for a new outfit, then eating at a Vietnamese restaurant that she really likes, then going over to her place and watching Sex&theCity, drink some appletinies then go out in our now outfits and hitting the downtown bars. Thankfully she lives right next to this area so we can walk. Justin was really jealous because while I'm out having fun, he'll be all by himself in the hotel in Nevada. Oh well. =)

This is the original Momma cat. She is so tiny and all her offspring are huge, my cat Simon came from her first litter. She is the sweetest thing, all the other cats are wild sadly and won't let us pet them. 

Here are the barn cats. I swear they all have a twin. We've got two orange, two siamese, two black & white and a random stripped grey guy in the back. They are all from the same litters, from I think two momma cats. 

I had promised a picture of Mom and Dad's house so here it is. It's a fixer upper, but thats what Dad wanted. 

Jeni and Emma 

Here is cute Emma wrapped up in her blankie. 

Lost

Well after seeing the condition that poor Boone was in, I knew that he was doomed. Geeze, that plane did a number to him, collapsed lung, crushed leg, internal bleeding even in a hospital that would be lots of surgery. Of course at the same time Claire had to go into labor, and in the middle of the jungle no less. I was glad to see that the baby was normal looking, after all that hoopla the psychic gave her, I was expecting to see horns.
Poor Jack was determined to save Boone, man that blood transfusion was genius, go Sun! I cannot believe that Jack wanted to amputate Boones leg with that door thing. I understand why he wanted to do it, but with internal bleeding..geeze, even Boone knew it was useless. I was really surprised that Boone didn't pass on the transmission that he received before he passed away.
While all this was going on, Shannon and Sayid were having a romantic night. Too bad that couldn't last. Boy, that must have been a downer. While sis is getting some romancing, her brother is fighting to live.
I was really mad that Locke didn't stay around. Yeah, he could have kept lying about what happened, but at least it could have looked like he cared. Which I'm sure he does care, but it sure didn't look like that to Jack. Now Jacks out for blood, and it looks like all hell is going to break loose next week.
We've got to be really close to the end of the season. I don't remember if I said this in a previous post but according to TV Guide that did a Lost story, the show ends on a huge cliff hanger. Which, I suppose is not all that surprising but it will be agonizing to wait all summer. I cannot wait until the 1st season of Lost comes out on DVD. Apparently, there is a mini-movie that explains why/how the plane crashes. Wouldn't that be something if it had to do with those cursed numbers.

Fanatic Starwars Fans and other goings ons

Today in Targets around America, was the release of the new Star Wars Episode III toys. As the clocked neared 8am, a growing crowd started to accumulate outside our doors and they rushed in when the doors opened. Most were normal looking people. There were some father and sons, but mostly it was guys by themselves usually late twenties to early thirties scrambling to the the new Yoda or Chewie actionfigure. Then there were these two people and man and woman dressed like Jedi. It was quite a site. They had dark brown robes, the same brown pants and a reddish shirt. The guy sported a bright green mohawk, funny, I don't remember and Jedi's having mohawks. Anyways so they all swooped into the aisle and loaded up on action figures and any other item that had a Star Wars logo attached to it. I'm surprised they left anything. One guy looked like he bought every action figure character, and at $7 each, he was shelling out some major cash for these things. Well thankfully, after that group things settled back down again and we could resume our boring jobs.
Other events in our life right now is that Justin has applied for a job in Nevada at a gold mining company. Also, our friend Sarah has also applied, this company is hiring about 20 people and no experience is required. Well they both made it through the application process and the phone interview so now they are getting flown to Nevada. Sarah is going firstI think she's leaving next week and Justin is leaving when she returns on the 13th and he'll be back on the 17th. Our hope is that both Justin and Sarah get the job so we can all move in together. It's really hard not to get our hopes up, we keep talking about "the move" we even have both our parents recruited for moving. I hope this goes well.
In other news, after two years we finally got to turn in out ghetto $20 cell phones and get new ones. We each got a different one, but both take pictures and can play real songs as rings. We made sure that Verizon has service in the area that we could be moving too.
