Been a month since I last posted and it seems like I've been to busy to get around to posting. Or maybe I just didn't make time for it. Eeh well I'm posting now. lol

So I woke up to this when I looked out my window this morning.


I should not be surprised as it was suppose to start snowing on Friday and also snow Saturday which it finally did late that night.

I like snow I really do but, I hate the ice that comes with it. I also hate driving in it and sliding on the roads in it and the wet shoes, socks and pant cuffs. I love to watch it fall and see everything in a clean, white undisturbed sheet. I love to watch animals and kids play in it. I also love that time of year.

Christmas has been one holiday that I always look forward to. My family has never had much and each year it seems less and less for the holidays but it is just a great time of year like something joyous is in the air. I also love buying presents for other people. :D ...I dread getting presents though. I really dislike faking pleasure over them. I know most of the people around me can't get me what I really like and I don't expect them to but I don't want to be cruel and hurtful at the same time.

I also turned 26 this last Friday. I was thinking about grabbing a pic each year on my birthday and so I shot a few and some of the funny ones for that project happened on Saturday and I just love them.

I present you Jessica at 26.



Speaking of Friday I was sad to learn that Linkin Park was coming to Salt Lake (IE less then a miles from my apartment) and tickets went on sale that day and I am broke until later this week. Grrrrrrr Being broke means I'm also celebrating my birthday in a belated manor this coming week. And since I don't want to push John's cooking skills I am going to go a none cooking birthday meal. I'm thinking a pudding pie and a long sub with some finger food sides. Something fun that we cane change here and there to suit our different taste but have the same meal and we can also take it over to watch movies while we munch.

I'm kinda excited because I can pick up three CDs I've been looking forward to. The new ones from Linkin Park and Abney Park and also the Original Sound Track for the Lord of the Rings on Stage (Musical LOTRs)!

There are other things but I really can't recall them.

Other then hitting Ikea up almost each check to pick up some things here and there to slowly organize and change how our place looks and feels and how we can use and enjoy it.

Sadly the Ikea thing is very fun for me and makes me excited to do. lol

Owl City concert photos from the 12th of April Saltair show.

The show was at the old Saltair next to the Great Salt Lake just off of I-80 (also known as Saltair III as the first two incarnations of it burnt down years ago).

Outside the venue as we pulled up.

Gravel parking lot.

This is the first time I've been out to the Saltair. Before I looked up info on it (you can wiki it and flikr it for more pics and info like I did) I thought it would have been much larger and grander then it turned out to be.

It reminded me greatly of driving out to a underground rave in that it is out in the middle of nowhere and alone and if you did not know you'd almost think it was a abandoned building that had see the last of it's glory days. Well not totally but that is what it sort of felt like. It has been remodeled and is a very neat and unique place. Even more so to hold concerts in.

Its is not a very large venue though to see the people line up for the show and that line wrap around the parking lot and out into the surrounding field you would not know it. I'm glad that I had bought our tickets before hand as we did not have to stand out in the rain for two hours hoping to get day of show tickets.

Inside the doors it looks like a gathering hall with a balcony that wraps around three of the four walls. The floor of the Saltair was pathing-stones/brinks. Very cool look I must say. The inside has a very honky tonk bar feel up in the balcony (where they only let the 21 and older be since they serve beer up there). I went up there knowing that I'd have a better view of the stage since I'm so short >.< and the concert was all GA seating.











^ Yeah that is me. See how bloody short I am? lol! Was fun even though we got stuck at the back of the building looking up and over at the stage. Not my fav venue but was really interesting and a better night then I though it was going to be. ( I tend to have a pessimistic view of new things sometimes >.>).

Would of have more but the phone was slowly dying. Also kinda piss because I got chased off the stairs when Owl City came on (they played last after Lights and first was Paper Route) should have snapped a pic before the bouncer chased me off. Oh well.

I think that I'll have to dig around and list more to both Lights and Paper Route. I liked what I could understand and hear from the concert.







Also here is what most of the pictures from the Snow Patrol/Plain White T's Concert back in October of last year looked like. Not going to upload all of them but this one has some good light and is my fav from the bunch.


Okay I lied two pics. This is my fav pic of that night. Paul, me and his girl Celeste outside UVSU where the concert was held.

Tickets are a go!

WOOT! I'm so excited!
