see some flaws in these plans? all the times overlap. and how the hell am i going to get from place to place on my BIKE? it’s going to suck bumming rides off my mom all the time, but i really can’t see how i can get from french road elementary school to work (late) and then leave brighton rec (early) to go to class (on time). i really hate being dependent on people to get me places on time.

Dear Liz,
Your hamster escaped. Long story short, Dad now knows you have a secret hamster, and it’s back in the box. Oh, and Dad woke me up at six in the morning while he cornered said hamster in his room with a shoe box.
Love,
Lan

yesterday:
came back to good ol’ brighton to sub at after school, which was of course super fun. it was sunny out so we got to go outside, which rocked. it was nice seeing the staff again too. plus i found out (mostly) who is working at french road camp this summer, where i will be assistant director(!).

later that night stabby and i went and saw baby mama, which i had higher expectations for. but it was alright, definitely pretty funny. and the acting was top notch, of course. tina fey is awesome.

today: this morning becky picked me up and we went to the middle school for the brighton clean sweep (formerly know as the spring clean-up). turns out it was county-wide this year. seriously. the entire county. 700 people volunteered just from brighton. this was the first year i was actually “in charge,” because i’m apparently an adult now. “hi guys, i’m lanni! i work for the rec department!” so yeah, that was cool. got to see lots of my mentoring club kids and old teachers and such. plus i got a chartreuse t-shirt. fun.

i spent the rest of the day doing random stuff, like getting my hair cut, writing two papers, hanging out with stabby, playing board games, doing a crossword, et cetera.

MODEST MOUSE IS EFFING PLAYING AT THE ARMORY ON JUNE 16!

who’s coming with me? tickets are $30.

last night was the reel big fish and brand new show! curls came down from syracuse, and liz drove here from rochester. so it was us three, plus alexa.

reel big fish was AMAZING. but we already knew that, didn’t we? i think that made the fourth time i saw them play live, and this was probably second favorite time (nothing will beat the last concert when they played S.R. in five billion different genres). they have probably the best stage presence of any bands i’ve seen play, plus their music rocks (skanks?). it’s win-win. and they played most of the songs on my ideal setlist!

brand new was… okay. the thing is, i am friggin’ obsessed with their first album, your favorite weapon. but i’m not really a fan of their second and third albums, because their sound changed. problem with that is that they think their old sound, the sound i like, is immature, and that they’ve advanced as a band. so they only played two songs from their first album, and they sounded just like their new stuff. so i was like, dang! my ideal setlist was totally off. oh well.

THE REST OF THE PHOTOS CAN BE FOUND HERE!

it’s been a kind of stressful weekend, but what’s new?

i failed one of my three tests and passed the other two.

today was really fun, actually! chelsea, kaitlin, emily, jamie, christine and i all went to the geneseo family resturant for dinner (ham and cheese!). afterwards we took a walk around the campus perimeter so that we could go into genesee, the dorm room we’re all living in next year. it’s so nice! i’m super excited. i’m in an 8-person suite with sruthi, megan, janine, lauren, tommi, linsdey, and elly.

and then we went to midnight bowling, which was awesome. i scored a 149, 109, and 138. not bad : )

i am very very saddened by the lack of decent reporting done by my school newspaper.

“This year’s special guest for AC’s Spring Concert is Reel Big Fish, one of the founding fathers of ska.”

they have to be kidding. what a way to start an article, eh? it must have been really hard for reel big fish to found ska, since it originated in the 50s and RBF formed in ‘92 and all.
