Happy Saturday!

Finally, the weather is cooperating!  It's a breezy, sunny day today and it's about 60 degrees out.  Of course, I'm spending this gorgeous day inside.  A former friend is going to drop off some stuff of mine that he's been holding hostage for over a year, so that's exciting.  He says he has some things to say to me; that should be fun.

On a different note, looping machines are awesome.  I also like that his double necked guitar is a bass on the bottom.  Haven't seen that before!

Post Birthday party wrap-up

So it turns out Donnie DOES drink.  He asked me not to tell anybody.  If he brings it up, I plan to tell him he was drunk and doesn't know what he's talking about.  We had quite a blast!  We ate a bunch of pizza (vegan for Donnie, of course... gross), then I dragged the gang off to Cole's, which is around the corner.  Cole's is my favorite drinking establishment for a variety of reasons, but for now I'll quote the owner's wife.
Upon telling her that it's my friend's 21st birthday, and I'm sorry in advance for whatever he does: "No problem!  Wait, he's not pukey, is he?  I can't serve him if he's pukey."
After making me an Alabama Slammer: "So, how much does this thing cost?  Well, that's too much..."
Factor in the lack of T.V.s, cheap pool table, Abraham Lincoln themed art work (Cole used to have a portrait of Abe, some jerk stole it, now people give him Abe artwork to cheer him up.  It's a beautiful thing.), and bathrooms that encourage graffiti... I think we can all agree that this place is the best. Around.
Speaking of cool stuff, here's a video by some guys who are really good at graphic art!  These guys make all their videos by themselves, working on donations alone.  They also make all the music themselves.  Nice!

A post a day...

I promised myself that I would post at least once a day.  It's only day two; I'm already having trouble keeping my own promise!  Today I will share my latest obsession: the Slam Jam.  I'm not sure where this originated, but it's certainly entertaining.  Apparently, the theme song from Space Jam can be laid over the top of any song to create an awesome mash-up.  Part of the fun of Slam Jams is seeing Charles Barkley and Michael Jordon's faces hastily photoshopped onto stuff.  The comments also crack me up.

In other news, today is Donnie's birthday.  Donnie has been one of my best friends for something like twelve years.  He turns 21 today; we're celebrating by going to a nearby establishment called The Boiler Room.  They do specialty pizzas and have a full bar.  Not sure why he's opting to go out somewhere, seeing as he doesn't drink.

Here's a video of a kitten in slow motion.  Pretty song, too!

It's a start!

You know you're in deep when the phrases "get motivated" and "start a blog" become one and the same.  I've been meaning to start a blog for a long time, now, but I never knew what I was going to write about.  I thought "there's no way I'll ever find enough stuff to talk about."  Then I remembered that I talk all the damn time and actually have a problem shutting my trap.  Problem solved.

I still don't know what I'm going to write about.  But, thanks to the constant prodding of my family and a few friends, I'm going to start anyway and figure it out on the fly.  Never done THAT before (sarcasm).  They seem to think I'm funny.  I guess we'll find out!

I guess I'll start off by covering the basics.  My name's Bonnie, I'm 22, I live in Chicago, IL, I've been unemployed for 6 months, and I'm slowly going insane.

Here's a video of a mariachi band playing to a beluga whale.
