general awesomeness.

first let me state that the fact we successfully pissed off a guy outside of a blimpie's just by trying to park the car was already pretty kick ass.  not only was he pissed off enough to get out of the car and do this whole motioning of how far they had from behind their huge SUV to the car behind them, but then the guy got out and started yelling and then flipped us off.  the best part of it is we have no idea what we did wrong.  the moral of the story is, you cannot park your car if there is an SUV next to the spot you are attempting to park your car in, you cannot do so.  park your car across the street or in another state, or maybe just burn your car to keep warm and then make sure to burn copies of catcher in the rye over the open flame just to make the SUV drivers feel even more secure that you are not out to kill their children by shooting heroin into their arms and teaching them voodoo.

in other news, i highly recommend the show "that mitchell and webb look."  every minute of it is brilliant.  numberwang is terrifying and brilliant.

other shows that i have become addicted to because of the great and awesome fact that cuddlebot also enjoys british television as much as i do:
nevermind the buzzcocks
quite interesting
mock the week
tv heaven telly hell
top gear

doctor who is of course on the list, but that was most likely already known as soon as i said that i've been digging on the bbc stations.

may i also mention that the newest segment of "wait wait...don't tell me!" is absolutely fascinating?  the history involved behind their not my job guest mavis staples is amazing, and she's such a great woman to listen to as it is.  not only does she have soul, but she's downright adorably sweet.

there is supposed to be up to 8-10 inches of snow possibly by tomorrow morning out here in the treasure valley, so keep your warm socks on and be careful on those roads!  it's going to be cold, but definitely beautiful out there.

today is day three of the attempt to getting my health back in order, and it seems to be going pretty well so far.  my mood has been generally better, and i've been sleeping a little more fully so far as well.  i actually even thought of the idea of skiing, and i am terrified of skiing!  i must have had some sort of happy sleep, considering i've actually got a little bit of holiday cheer inside of me...

the bah humbug show was awesome as well.  floom dorm really made me happy with their rendition of altered christmas songs.  i don't have to be ashamed any longer of having a holiday related name.  thanks guys!
the band that blew me away by far was la knots.  i honestly didn't know what to expect by the name and the fact that they had such fantastic gear.  they have the leslie amp with the awesome spinning hitchcockian wheel on it.  there was no veritgo happening or jimmy stewart coming back to life there, but only the pure furiousness of talent.  i'd love to see those two play again (and let me say that the woman playing the drums is one of the greatest drummers to have hit this valley in awhile.  she's by far the most talented younger drummer in the valley that i have seen in over 7 years, easily).  the guitarist is also quite fantastic, and he has his own great style.  i definitely recommend checking them out any time you are in boise and looking for a fun show to see.
kris doty was also on her game, and especially with ak-47 (allison) backing up.  they make a great combo, and they really know how to jerk some tears out of emotionless hipsters.  i appreciate seeing them cry, since their tears are supposed to cure cancer, or whatever.
bonefish sam is always great, and they definitely kept me happy.  the same goes for the very most as well, who have added a second vocalist to the mix that was amazing.  she's got quite the voice, and she seems like a really wonderful woman.  good job guys!
i missed most of attn, but from what i could tell they sounded great.  i think that they might have had the sound up too high since i couldn't hear all of what was going on, but it did seem like a really epic show.  i'll have to try to catch it within its entirety another time.
also: i know there are other bands that i didn't mention, and that does not mean i didn't like the act.  it is because i have run out of time and really need to get out of here and to joann's to get some more yarn before they close.  you all have a wonderful day, and enjoy this snow!
