"i'm andrew mcmahon with a phd in sweet ass rock and an emphasis in setlist creation."

my mom called me a few months ago to tell me that while at the movies waiting for the previews tristyn, my eleven year little sister, points to the screen and goes, "mom, it's andrew." my mom looks around the theater saying, "andrew who?" tristyn sighs heavily and says, "andrew andrew." my mom then looks at the screen and sees a jack's mannequin video playing. she says, "that's not andrew. andrew's blonde." then she sees him sing out of the side of his mouth and goes, "oh wait, you're right, that is andrew."
i love that story. Tristyn only saw Something Corporate live once. I think it was in 2004? It was Tallahassee. She was like five and fell asleep before they started playing. That was the best show ever. All the Hays+my highschool friends+my family. Awesome.

i hate valentine's day.
ever since i got left off the list in first grade. i hate it. i hate it. i hate it.
imagine making a box for valentine's day cards. and making cards for your whole class. and then getting two cards. one from your best friend, alenda. and one from a weird guy who had a crush on you.
home, right? right? yes! i'm so down. i can't wait. i'm going to get louis to come with me to a show, hopefully. i miss louis.
it was traumatizing.

we drank tonight.
and danced to country in the kitchen.
it was fun.

i had a nightmare about lucero breaking up. i don't know what i'd do. luckily, i'm getting to see them in a few weeks. pensacola and tallahassee! that's definately a good reason to fly

"i was just now thinking of you, sometime's when the wind blows you see the mountains and all the way to malibu, everyone's a star here in la county, you outta see the things that they do, and all the cowboys out there on sunset strip are wishing that they could be like you"

i want to go to seattle for valentine's day. i hate it. garrett doesn't want me to leave, but whatever. we'll see.

my new computer is shit. for realz. like it deleted my post in the last minute. for realz. i just retyped that. yup. stupid 'puter.

things are ok. i don't know what i'm going to do once i graduate. i'm wondering if graduate school is my thing or not. i'm going back to florida for two weeks in march- the first for lucero and the last for spring break. i'm hoping to take classes at fsu in summer. after my cuz, little ed, having tons of seizures it makes me realize how important family is. and after dancing to chicken fried all night i realize that california isn't that great. in fact- home is pretty great. i don't know if working at the liquor store, like my mom, for the rest of my days would be that bad.

murder by death plays here in a week.
my brother, storm, turns sixteen on monday.
really, my computer is shit. it's restarted this message four times now.

"running from the cold up in new england, i was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band"

san francisco is good for shows. two nights of old crow. two nights of drive by truckers. a good airport to fly around the country.

i like that part.

my computer has messed up 2 times. stupid thing. for realz.

"the sun's coming up over the hills or maybe it's not i can't even tell. but there's a warmth on my face that isn't the blood and my tears are turning the snow into mud and i can't feel my left leg but i think it's still there, did i kill anybody? lord knows i never fight fair."

i love doctor who.
i love my mechanical robotic dalek.
that's right. a robot dalek.
it's tight. and it says, "exterminate! exterminate!"

my computer has messed up twice more.
it's annoying.

i'm gonna watch the duck tales movie now. it's awesome.
"sing with me a hymn for a light for that has dimmed for a heart that no longer beats and even until death when nothing else is left and our pain has finally ceased and the sun will never shine on this cold, hard earth of mine"

i love this video!!!!!!

she's so hot she's making me sexist- bitch

2007-05-22T09:55:25Z

These are the funniest guys ever.
New Zealand's fourth most popular folk parody duo.

For the past year, Alexa and I have been completely in love with these guys. The New Zealand guy down the hall from us at CZ, Andy, would recite parts of Business Time too us every day in that hot foreign accent. It was quite lovely.
Now I'm counting down the days until I'll get to witness these two in person at Bonnaroo. What a lovely lovely birthday this is going to be. =)

they've got their own series on hbo now which starts on my birthday june 17th. the preview is up on their myspace. hilarious. hilarious.

Berkeley is fun

One of its traditions is the naked run that invades the library one random midnight during finals week.

So while all the mcb-engineering-whateverotherrealmajors are studying all night and living the library for a week
the co-opers run through naked, drunk, and high.

fun times.
zach lau's sombrero. jon hung running into the camera. skylar's sign "stop picturing me naked" and face covered up. dwight's top hat and beard. rayo juggling in a headress. in the other videos you see robin jumping up and clicking his heels and orban long jumping that some of the berkeley blogs compared to the ancient olypmic sports.

and this year no creeps came up to me afterwards complimenting me on my naked body. eww.

i love my school.
i love my co-ops.
i love it that its summer now.

vacation anyone?

2007-05-15T23:51:58Z

So who wants to go on the Ben Folds cruise with me?
Esther, Megs?
Lets sell our souls to science or rob a bank or something and get a really cheap, tiny room and have the time of our lives with Mr Folds!

aren't we cute?

turn the page, close the book

there's something beautiful about blowing off studying until the last minute.
instead going to the albany bulb and watching the sun set over san francisco and the bay with a bunch of hippies, pot, a nitrous tank, and a shit load of beer and mimosas.

running into my gsi for my class in which i have a final tomorrow on a booze run. kissing on copper my love puppy. having him overhear van say "tiff- if you've got a final tomorrow then why are you getting drunk with us tonight?" oh great. just wonderful.

alexa already left and i miss her. brent is here and i want to cuddle. not enough cuddling. too much school. not to mention packing. oh my yes do i have to pack and move into cloyne. oh goody goody gumdrops.

damien still loves me at least.

i lost house manager for next fall. unsuprising really. i have yet to actually win an election ever. i only win when i'm unopposed. awesome. what a kick ass person am i.
i just want to watch movies.
we watched mighty ducks last night. "yes sir mr ducksworth, quack, quack, quack, mr ducksworth"

we're planning a trip to the price is right. we already have 30 people signed on. oh boy i'm so excited. "420 bob". just watch out. i'm gonna win a car. =)

lord, anything for you

last night i got to see a sneak preview of the new robert kennedy flick, Bobby.
it was nice. highly recommended. i cried at the end.

then there was a q&a with joshua jackson.
and let me just say that this guy was the subject of many many many pubescent fantasies of mine.
meeting him was like electric.
still a hottie.

grrrrrrrrr. now i want to rewatch mighty ducks, cruel intentions, skulls, and urban legends. oh boy.

Home for a week in: 11 days! Plus Lucero shows! woot.

ain't no sunshine when she's gone and she's always gone too long anytime she goes away

2006-10-11T06:26:58Z

2006-07-22T02:21:48Z

I just heard Lucero's "A Heart So True" on the radio.
Fucking amazing!

feel the light upon your skin

2006-07-12T07:31:43Z

Casa Zimbabwe is the fucking tops!

My dad will be here on Thursday, yes!

2006-07-04T00:07:04Z

i got another amazingly awesome watch.
woot.
this one's number 3!

so can we take the next hour and talk about me

2006-07-03T16:16:47Z

Is that a kazoo I hear in the background of the new Format album?

asking me to export all your insecurities

2006-06-18T17:17:49Z

Bonnaroo.

Yeah.

Dirt. Heat. Hippies. Rednecks. Suuuuuuun.
It was an adventure.

We did not camp. The assholes beside us took up our camping space. So we slept in the car. Too hot. 8 am was as late as you could sleep unless you don't mind sweat pouring off of you while you dream.

The music was amazing.
Lucero was drunk off their asses but kicking it hard. Ben promised to play Chain Link Fence in Atlanta on Tuesday. Ben Folds was fucking fantastic. Best show I saw all weekend. Totally blew everyone out of water. Bitches Ain't Shit singalong version. Fucking great. Took a nap in the grass during Bright Eyes. They play such great sleeping music. Death Cab was solid. Left nothing to be desired. Steel Train fucking rocked hardcore (twice!). So amazing. Great Great Great. Demitri Martin's comedy was amazing. As were all the other openers. Radiohead was an experience. 70,000+ were at the festival. I guarantee you at least half of those people were sitting on the grass watching these guys. Very surreal to see Thom Yorke bopping around/dancing onstage and then see thousands of other people watching him do the same thing on the huge video screens to either side of the stage.

So the music was amazing.

But the heat was unbearable. And Guzman was sick with Strep Throat. And we just heard from Geoff a little while ago. So yeah... leaving was a good idea. Now I'm all showered and cool and clean and nice feeling. Yet it's only noon in Tennessee. Right about now I'd be in line to fill up water bottles and wash myself off as best as is possible and then heading to see Be Your Own Pet. But it's ok.

My birthday was yesterday. I had 7 voicemails (Arpen? Sam Peach? Wow I love my friends. Totally didnt expect that) and one text message from Mr Mark. Then I had a few myspace comments and a dozen facebook ones. That's love. I still need a cake though. Maybe soonnnn.

if it comes back the very next day then i'll understand

2006-05-27T07:51:26Z

Picture Post.

The Great American Music Hall's so pretty

i don't know what you could possibly expect under this condition

2006-05-13T08:23:18Z

Jack's Mannequin. San Fran. 9+10 days.

Oh hell yeah.

finals are lame.
"and there are some things that i'll never understand. why a country needs a god, and woman needs a man.
and you never write me letters. and you never sent my sweater so i could stay warm when i was without you.
without you i don't sleep just dream
without you i don't have a place that's safe from all the monsters that hide in my head and sing me to sleep.
this is the last straw, she said. and i won't wait for you forever while you run around like jfk. you watched that poor girl waste the best years of her life, and i'll be d.amned if i am going out...i will not go out that way"

Woot Woot

2006-04-13T02:32:24Z

Jack's Mannequin
San Fran
5/23

oh hell yeah.
i'm stoked.

limbeck is a band composed of four rock gods- genuises really

2006-04-03T09:08:34Z

i'll update tomorrow in full about my spring break, but since half of it was spent following limbeck i had them on the mind a lot.
driving through bonifay the other day i passed luke's car.
it reminded me of the band and kind of made me really sad.

she really broke my heart in two
four years later i still never forgave her
the thing is when i was ready to
i had completely dismissed her
now i think i'm driving through her state
and i'm not ready for some burnt down bridge just yet
and i'm not saying that i want anything from you
the only thing that i really want now if i see you suze
is if we drove side by side down the highway in the beehive state that we could honk and wave

so yeah.
it's funny how much has changed. and then again how everything's still the same.
but limbeck is still fucking amazing. and the nicest guys ever.

so yeah. full update tomorrow when i'm back in berkeley.

i'm leaving on a jet plane

2006-03-23T15:44:51Z

This time 3 years ago I was witnessing the spectacular stage show that is Something Corporate for the very first time.

Oh how the times change.
