kid's dinner

A week ago Shawn and Nicole came over for dinner and Nicole made up a delicious stir fry. It started lightly raining and so we decided to eat outside on the patio surrounded by the rain. It as really fun and we had some laughs of course. We then settled back inside for a trip down memory lane continuing our venture through childhod videos. Found some good ones of my dad's 40th birthday party... seeing the Lynch's, Warrens, Walberers, etc over 15 years ago was hilarious. Enjoy the pictures of our kid's dinner.

Faith & Tim pics

I was finally able to procure some pictures of the Faith Hill and Tim McGraw concert thanks to KNIXcountry.com... this will give you a good idea of how close I was to the stage...

Faith & Tim

The concert was absolutely incredible!!! Stephanie and I were so close to the stage I could have been drenched in sweat if I would have taken a step forward!!! After leaving from Mesa at 7pm to make the 8pm show we didn't show up to the Jobing.com Arena (formerly known as Glendale Arena) until 8:15... ugh!!! But no worry the opening act was on and we hadn't missed a thing!!!! So we head on down to our seats and realize just how close 5th row is-a mere 20 feet from the stage!!! The stage lay out was in the center of the arena and had four catwalks extending from the four sides of the stage. The performers would come out from the center of the stage trap door of sorts.

So to start off the concert after the opening act Faith & Tim did a cover of Snow Patrol's Chasing cars (not a great song for them to cover, but still). Then Faith did her whole set which was so great! Great song selection - all the best. Then she finished with Mississippi Girl and went off stage. Without a break at all the both of them came out and sang a couple of their duets. Then Tim did his set! Now I have to be honest I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Tim McGraw's set even more than Faith's... he really knows how to get the crowd excited and in an uproar!! And man is he very nice to look at!!! I had so much fun!!!!!!!

Stephanie and I before the concert!!

Faith and Tim

Saw Harry Potter 5 in IMAX 3D with Nicole... it was rocking!!!

Sometimes I forget I have a blog...

Sorry for the silence... but I want to make up for it by showing you one of the craziest music videos I have ever seen... it is just beyond words. And yet a great song.

Nicole, if you could please show this to Misty... I thought of her.



I enjoyed the dancing ninjas and the flying alter boys... I just don't understand and it scares me

HBP casting

New cast members for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince... Naomi Watts (Narcissa Malfoy), Joseph Fiennes (I bet you anything he plays the younger Tom Riddle Sr. - being Ralph Fiennes real-life brother and bearing the strong resemblence), and lastly Stuart Townsend (I gonna say either Fenrir Greyback or Bill Weasley - leaning more towards Bill if they can get his hair color right.)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows


Spent the entire weekend reading Harry Potter book 7. I didn't want to leave my house without finishing it for fear of any spoilers. So my dad and I spent Saturday afternoon till 1:30am this morning reading!!! It was really awesome to read with my dad... we would stop and share our theories (always trying to figure it out before the book revealed it), It was also really fun to react with someone when something happened - including me jumping around the room in excitement, and also having to hand off the book a couple times because I was crying too hard. With that said I will enjoy telling my kids that Grandpa and I spent two entire days held up in the house reading Harry Potter (something I would love to do with my kids too). It was really fun!!!

Now onto the book - I WAS PERFECT!!!! I could not have written a more perfect and wonderfully amazing stupendous ending!!! I wouldn't change a single thing because it was flawless!!! I laughed hysterically, cried uncontrollably, and beamed from ear to ear throughout the whole thing!! I am going to start reading it again!!

Oh also in honor of "Harry Potter Weekend" I bought my dad and I each a pack of Berti-Botts Every Flavor Bean - based on the candy from the book - they have all types of flavors from marshmallow, lemon drop, earwax, sardine, dirt, cherry, earthwarm, blueberry, and vomit. The worst I tried before giving up due to uncontrollable gag reflex were sardine and to my dad and mine's entertainment buttered popcorn... I heard Wild Flower Bread Company was selling pumpkin Pasties and butterbeers on friday and somewhere you could buy chocolate frogs, althought I couldn't find any.

I had a great weekend.

Quota time...

So work has certain sites filtered so I have to use quota time to view them... eonline, imdb, hpana, people.com... etc were all filtered. Things like your blogs were not filtered... now it has completely switched!!! your blogs are blocked and so I can only view them for 50 minutes per day. Sad times.

I am 3/4 of the way through Harry Potter book 6. It'll be a fast read from here on out.

I am seeing Hairspray this saturday with Kendra... AWESOME!!! I am listening to the soundtrack in preparation. I want to play Penny so badly!!!

My apartment is messy, but every moment is spent reading, so I will have to wait till I am done with book 6 to pick up the house... it that obsessive of me? I mean it is not disgusting, just not tidy... okay don't judge me!!!

I have one last class today and then I have office hours the rest of the week. YAY.

Harry Potter and a rain storm...

who could ask for more. I am sitting here curled up in my comfy chair circa 1960's that has no arm rests so I can sit cross-legged. It is position next to my big picture window where just outside I can hear the rain beating down on the hot pavement... this moment makes me happy. My heart seems to purr that I live a pretty sweet life. I am desperately trying to finish the 6th book of Harry Potter so as to be ready for the 7th and final book this weekend, but I am only halfway through and with the week ahead of me and my proclivity to get sleepy when reading, I am slow going.

went shopping today... I LOVE SHOPPING!!! I got some new clothes at Old Navy because they are having a GINORMOUS SALE right now... and Kohl's finally had my white tank tops in so I bought two... I am so excited to wear a new outfit tomorrow.

So I have had a very pleasant evening to be more pleasant by a visit to my favorite place... Hogwarts.

Sunday Sharing...

shared this morning as part of John's message. Glad it is over... it was an awesome process to sort through my heart and brain and figure out what God has taught me... very therapeutic!

So it was basically about the "dreaming" blog from a couple weeks ago... but if you weren't there and you want to listen to it go here.

It probably won't be up for a day or so... but keep checking.

Harry Potter OotP


Saw the movie last night... LOVED IT!!!!! Pure magic... literaly. Umbridge and Luna were cast superbly and Bellatrix was absolutely fabulously evil!!!! I am so pleased! I need to see it again now, because like all the other HP movies I have sat through them a little on edge praying that it won't be horrible! So now that I know it wasn't horrible at all I will enjoy it more the second time thru.

Harry Potter theory...


I am watching a special on A&E about Harry Potter and a theory has struck me.

I am reading the 6th book in preparation for the 7th book coming in two weeks, and I have picked up a lot of ideas about things that are going to happen in the last book of the series... The big specualtion is that Harry is going to die at the end of the book. A big reasoning for this is because Harry is in fact a horcrux and must die in order to kill Voldemort... here is my theory - Harry is not the Horcrux... just his SCAR is. They talk about his scar being very special and only coming from being touched by dark magic... He can always sense when something is up with Voldemort through his scar... and the last word in the book (JK rowlings has said) is "scar". So I think Harry's scar will be gone but Harry will live in the end of Deathly Hollows. I don't think JK is going to kill Harry - it isn't her writing style... the nature of the way the book is written wouldn't kill off a main character. Now Amy, you may contradict me because I am no literary scholar, but I just don't see Harry dieing in the end (hence my scar theory).

Another "pro-Snape" theory is that Dumbledore put him in the Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching position knowing that the post can only be filled for a year at a time due to the curse Tom Riddle placed upon the teaching position. Dumbledore knew Snape would be leaving the school by the end of the year... I still think Dumbledore had Snape kill him for reasons of his own and that Snape is still good inside - he just has issues with Harry. I think Snape also was in love with Lily and that is why he hated James so much and why he switched sides from Death Eater to Order of the Phoenix after her death.

None of you guys really care - I know... Amy you may appreciate what I am saying. But I had to share my ideas.

"More than Meets the Eye"


Saw transformers last night.... I can honestly say that I have not been as impressed by any other movie this year than I was by Transformers!!!! It was awesome. Going into it thinking like most others did that the special effects would be pretty awesome, but the plot line mediocre, I was amazed at everything. The special effects blow your mind and the plot is actually legit and easy to follow! I was smiling ear to ear and even clapped at certain points, it was so incredible!!!

I also loved the subtle GI Joe tie-in. I had forgotten that GI Joe and Transformers often crossed over in their storylines until I read about the franchise on wikidepia. So the movie incorporating the American armed forces makes so much sense... I recommend everyone go and see it. It is the surprise hit of the summer I am telling you!!

Lazy July 4th

It is days like these that I love... I slept in this morning... spent time rearranging my second bedroom - still don't have it the way I like it, but I am playing around with stuff. Then I ran errands... Office Max and Fry's. I have been passionately in love with a Whole Foods sandwhich (that I created myself), but it comes to about $7, which is creating a huge whole in my wallet after eating there so often. So I was determined to create it myself. I found a recipe online for a pesto aioli spread (which was the only thing I couldn't find readymade in the grocery store... so I popped in and got all the ingredients!! I came home, turned on the food channel (because you have to cook with the food channel on) and made my sandwhich to perfection Turkey, Swiss, cucumbers, lettuce, red onion, and pesto aioli spread on grilled french roll (George Forman, i love you)- I am quite the cook if I must say.

So now I am watching National Treasure (in honor of July 4th) and enjoying my lunch. Later this evening I am heading over to the parentals for the night to hang out and possibly catch Transformers on the big screen... I have been hearing very good things.

For Aaron


Aaron - you'll be very proud of me... I watched Boondock Saints this evening... just finished actually. I can now call myself and american (which is nice seeing as July 4th is tomorrow)... Awesome movie... true sense of juctice... and the irish accents - especially Sean Patrick Flanery made the movie a pleasure to watch... lot's of blood and language so not for the faint of heart... but man I feel all riled up now I want to form a vigilanty group!

They are also planning a sequel with everyone coming back except Willem Dafoe... should be stellar.

a lot of dreaming...

So I have no idea what God has in store for me, but I feel like He is preparing me for something... The last 3-4 weeks at work have just been odd. There has been a low morale as well as a lot of shifting in employees, duties, etc. (which I don't handle well). On top of that the messages in church the last couple of weeks have been about taking risks, living life, being young... It has been really speaking to my heart. I am 22 years old and I am already working a 40 hour a week job, living on my own, paying bills, being a grown up. I love my life and wanted everything I have and God has blessed me with a security I didn't think I would have, but I am starting to feel restless. I have settled into stability a little too soon. This is my time and I need to take advantage of my youth and the freedom I have right now. I am not married, I don't have responsibilities or obligations right now, so I should take full advantage of that. So I have started dreaming again... asking myself where I feel my heart is being called - no logic or rationale needed - I am going full on "the passion of my heart and the desires of my eyes" (Eccl. 11:9). I have no idea what God has in store for me... I don't know how I got here... I just know that there is more I am meant for than teaching massage... so pray for me as I dream that my heart would be protected and my steps guided by "Him who is able to do imeasurably more than we ask or imagine."

Nasty plumbing

there was disgusting god-knows-what coming out of my bathtub drain last night after I took a shower!!! It was one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen! Called my landlord and he told me he would check it out in the morning... so this morning @ 5:30am I wake up to use the restroom only to discover that the same thing was happening to my toilet... I gagged! Couldn't go back to sleep from disgust... so I got up and cleaned... washed the dishes (kitchen sink drain is fine)... got my dirty laundry together... My landlord came over and said he'd call the plumber straight away. So I left for work 15 minutes early and came home 6 hours later to a perfectly working bathroom. I love quick plumbing service!

Here is a picture of my couch... It's very nice to lay on and watch movies... super fun!

Lambert the Sheepish Lion

I have no idea, but I got to thinking about a short animated film that I watched so many times when I was little... it was on a tape my parents had recorded off of the Disney channel or something... but it was called Lambert the Sheepish Lion... about a Lion cub mistakenly given to a flock of sheep by the Stork... It was precious!! I loved it and wanted to watch it again... to my delight I found it on the internet (what does the web NOT have)... So I have included the link for you to all enjoy!! It is barely 10 minutes if that. I will have the song stuck in my head for a week now, but it is awesome! I also remember saying, or my mom saying, "Pick out the Ewe that you like best and she will be your mother"... I am going to sleep with dreams of Lambert!! Way to go Lambert!!

my iPod is fixed

I took it down to the apple store and they fixed my iPod... I secretly was hoping it would be beyond repair and they would just have to give me a new one. But now I have until October still to break my iPod beyond repair. In other news I got to spend some time cleaning and unpacking my apartment. I even went around the house and took stock of what I needed to get to complete certain walls and empty table tops. I have post-its everywhere saying things like "mirror", "plant", "lamp", "art piece"... so now i have a list of things I need to be looking out for at thrift stores or Ikea.

I also got rid of more stuff from my dresser and closet of clothes that I won't wear again... a painful process, but a needed one. I did the same thing for my mom last week and we had a good laugh at the clothes that she had kept since the 80's. My clothes will now be up for grabs at the (fully clothed) Naked Lady party I am having with a couple friends!! Fun times... my stuff is mostly clothes although it is open to furniture, book, movies, housewares, etc... I am newly living on my own and don't have stuff to give away yet.

Maybe later I will post pictures of my new couch cover... it's darling.

My iPod is sad again...

stupid piece of crap iPod... I turned it on the other day to find it flashing a message that basically prompted me to hook it up to my computer erase all my music from it and try to reload it all... no big deal, right? WRONG!!! Now everytime I try to get songs on it, it will freeze on a different song every time and then freeze all together and disconnect from my computer... I am so sad. It means I will be making a trip to the apple store to get it looked at. Shawn may be getting a job there... they have to check out his criminal history first and then my bro will more than likely have a job at one of the coolest places to work!!! If my iPod keeps this up I will have to spend a lot of time at said store.

Other than that I have a long (14 hour) day tomorrow... I don't want to work mornings anymore... it is just too hard to get up especially since my body won't let me go to sleep at a decent time no matter what I try. I would rather work till 11pm and then not have to be at work until noon... that is what I requested from my boss for next quarter schedule.

I will be getting my new Ikea couch cover this weekend... After that I will be in full decorate mode... My living room is my first project... then my kitchen (pampered chef party is a-comin')... and then I'll move onto my bedroom/bathroom... last will be my second bedroom... because I just don't know what I want it to be yet... I think that will be where I display my disney books... maybe I'll get some of my fav disney photos and make a whole shrine... does that sound obsessive? Either way I have no vision for that room.

...

I have been house sitting since tuesday and have been a little burnt out... therefore the lack of the posting. I took my first sick day since I started working as an Instructor... and it was fun!! Fun in the sense that actually was feeling crappy and i laid around the house watching movies and dozing in and out of conciousness... much need and the next day I returned to work so much better.... I no longer desired to burn the place down. My friends Jeannette and her husband Matt are in New York this week so I am watching their dogs Bandit (golden retriever) and Princess Aurora (Rottweiler).

Funny story: Last night there were probably about 10 police cars lining the street Jeannette and Matt live on... I have no idea why they were there but they were looking for something or someone with flashlights... I wasn't too worried... just annoyed that Bandit just stood at the front window barking at them... so I didn't get to sleep till 2:30am and I didn't go to church this morning.

Instead of church I watched Cinderella: Twist in Time new out on DVD... I got it from netflix... it was cute... the prince was lame though... Sleeping Beauty's Prince Phillip is still the best prince ever... he had a sense of humor... Cinderella's Prince is a ponce!

Anyways after watching the movie it got me thinking about Disneyland (well, the movie and the fact that I just won a bid on another pictorial guide from disneyland, and Jeannette's dog's name is Princess Aurora)... I am going to start a Disneyland album of all the trips to the magic kingdom so I have been going through all my pictures... I only have digital pictures from 2002, but my parents have actual prints of my first trip back in 1986 which I need to scan... but regardless here are a few of my favorites:

I'm in a mood...

I have not wanted to go to work the entire week this week, I just want to take a long vacation and get a break from this place... I am just irritable about little stuff having to do with my job... and as a consquence to having a three-day weekend last weekend, I have a night class tomorrow night, which makes this coming weekend seem a whole lot shorter!! I just want to go to sleep... and I have another 6.5 hours left in this God-forsaken place.

It was a really great time!

midnight showing


Saw Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End last night... it was really awesome! I loved it... granted it was way long, and a lot of plot development... but I enjoyed it thorouhgly... I am exhausted and almost falling asleep at work right now, but it was totally worth it!! So when you go be prepared for a lot of storyline and some cool twists and turns.

Tyler also graduated last night... YAY!!! So proud!!

A chance at life again

I had my first migraine in 7 years yesterday... I use to get them all the time, but then I got braces and thought I was done with them forever... that until yesterday. I have discovered that I have two vertebrae displaced in my cervical (neck) region and I believe that was the culprit involved in welcoming the heinous headache. It came upon me at aound 10am and I couldn't leave work until 8pm, so I was miserable for most of the day. I came home put a hot wet towel on my face and fell asleep at around 8:30pm and woke up out of a comatose state at 6:30am... granted my neck is still dislodged but at least I don't feel like a dutiful little elf is inside my head pick-axing it's way to freedom behind my eye. So am feeling a renewed sense of life this morning.

The recap of the last few weeks is underway... now:

Shawn graduated from college!!!! YAY!!!! We all trekked out to ASU west to see the momentus occasion. Shawn's best friend Aaron even surprised him and flew in a day early from Georgia to see his friend graduate. It was so cool to see Shawn finish college. Now he is looking for a job. His degree is in Art (he loves video editing and would love to be involved with that creative outlet in some way). So after the ceremony and the many photo-ops we all went to Shang Hi restaurant for some delicious quisine. It was fun to hang out and since we all hadn't seen Aaron in 6 months we were excited to get to spend time with him. Both my brothers are actually graduating this year! So this coming week will be full of grad parties and other exciting festivities.

Then is was mother's day... what a great time! Shawn and Nicole came over and had brunch with us the saturday before actual mother's day... Sunday's are always hard for my parents because of all their involvment at our church, that they wanted to celebrate the day before. So Shawn and Nicole made these amazing egg sandwhiches they had discovered on the food network and we opened presents and then my mom, Nicole and I did what we love most - SHOP!! Our destination was Tiedemann's thrift store down the street from my parents house... truly an amazing thrift store with awesome clothes!! I made out like bandit with three shirts, two pairs of pants and a gorgeous vintage dress circa 1950's... all for the bargain price of $24.

Then that evening Tyler went to prom!!! My little bro - or should I say YOUNGER brother (he's 6'4") - went to his senior Prom. He went stag and acted as chauffeur for his friends and their dates, but he said he had a blast... He also got his tux at a thrift store and it fit him like a glove... we are such a bargain family!!

Last but not the least post worthy event was going to see Light in the Piazza with Nancy, Amy, and my mom. It was playing at Gammage and we all decided to make a night of it and go... when we bought the tickets 6 months ago we didn't expect to have a Phoenix Suns play-off game the same night (nor did I personally care), but I was with three HUGE Suns fans, so during the show Amy's phone screen would silently light up with the score. The musical was great... the Suns were not. But the night was memorable.

Sorry that this post was long in coming... but finals week at work and a new quarter starting has taken up most of my time... now that things have settled down I will stay more in contact.

Friday, May 18, 2007

I do have a post planned about Shawn's graduation, Tyler's prom, and seeing Light in Piazza with Nancy, Amy, and my mom... but I just haven't had time to actually sit down and type it all out... but I wanted you to know it is coming sometime in the next day or so... trust me.

JERSEY BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!

Jersey Boys is coming to Gammage... who's going with me?... this Sept - Oct!!!!!!

what makes me sad

I had one of those really great dreams last night where life was perfect and everything was marvelously... perfect... they throw off my entire day because they are so real and so I can't stop thinking about it... I try to remember bits and pieces, but as the day goes on they slowly slip away from you and you are left with pit in your stomache because the day won't be as great as the dream. I love and hate these dreams...

relief

so I know it is only 8pm and I am at work for another 4 hours, but I just finished up lecture and only have demo and hands-on left and those are completely free of me having to use brain power, so I feel like it is smooth sailing for the rest of the night. Then tomorrow I have to work for 4 hours in the morning and I get the rest of the day off... now don't start thinking I have it easy... I did work 8 hours yesterday, 9 hours today, I will work 10 hours on thursday and another 10 hours on friday... so tomorrow is a wonderful day for me.

Tattoo

I have decided that this summer I am going to get a tattoo... I need help though determining where the best tattoo place is... I have already picked out the design and for the last two years I have been wanting to get it, but it was just a matter of getting the nerve... but I want it now... I do. Here is my drawing of what I want... I'll probably have Shawn or Tyler draw a better version to actually get tattood on. I want to get it on the top of my foot

I have been amazed

Last night was Tyler's "night of shorts" performance... Students at Marcos in the advanced Drama class have an opportunity at the end of the year to write and direct a play that will possibly get chosen for a "night of shorts" to be performed in front of an audience... Then once the directors are chosen students from the entire school get to audition for the plays. Tyler was the lead in his friend Noah's play. Now Tyler didn't tell us a single thing about what his show was about except the fact that I may cry... well thanks Tyler. Each play is about 15 minutes long, so I am thinking they are going to have to really milk it for me to cry... apparently my brother is a genius and really milks it good... in fact he didn't have to milk it at all... the show was so well written and Noah directed Tyler in such an amazing way that amazed me. The show is called leaving and is about a young man (Tyler) reflecting on his life and the last 15 minutes of his life before he is killed... It was witty and prolific and poignant. Tyler did such an incredible job... I knew he had it in him, but last night it was genius.

There was also another show called Axiomatic... very clever. Several people are in line to get into a night club with a bouncer letting them know if they are able to get it. As the dialog unfold you realize the club represents heaven and the bouncer - a stoic St. Peter. Tyler's character from the previous play pops up and is able to get in due to his red card... There are several characters that are challenged as to whether or not they are able to get in, some chose not to, some are not allowed to. Through the amazingly intelligent writing they represent different life decision from religion to homosexuality to abortion. I know what you all are thinking... how did this show get to be performed? Because the writing was amazing!!! There was absolutely nothing offensive and the topics were presented but with no bias or specific standpoint... Really thought provoking. I loved it.

All in all it was a great night of theater. The performances are continuing tonight and tomorrow night if you live in AZ and want to attend... in the Marcos de Niza drama room $5 admission.

It is getting so hot outside...

I always seem to be caught off guard when summer rolls around... I mean I have lived in AZ all my life, but the heat always is miserably dissappointing to experience. I am a winter autumn girl... I love jeans and jackets and scarfs and bundling up in my house... but alas I live in Arizona. So I have become use to surviving the heat come summer time, but I still can't believe that we hit 100 degrees at the beginning of may unstead of waiting until actual summer time in June... ugh. So my solution this year to the heat... a hair cut!!

I just got sick of my hair touching my neck... and if you have ever met me you know that I abhor wear the same hair style every day, so a daily ponytail was out of the question... so I went down to Dolce for my bi-annual hair cut and had Kate (my regular hairdresser) cut it off... I was actually really surprised with the result because I did not plan to go this short... but what is done is done and I LOVE IT!!! I love how it kind of spikes in the back if I want it too... and after getting home after work last night and getting to mess around with it I have already discovered some really cute hairstyles I will be sporting!!

I worked at Southwestern University the past three days doing chair massage for all the students during their finals week... my friend Leah and I rocked the massage... I did this last semester for them as well and I had forgotten how fun it is. Chuck Hunter (my brother's wife's brother's wife's sister's husband - whom I go to church with) is the head students director there or something and got me the gig. So for three days students got free five minute massages! What a treat for them... they were so appreciative. Southwestern is a Bible college and so they all were sitting around where we were waiting for their turn and studying for classes like "Biblical Prophets" and "Old Testiment History"... very entertaining with questions being thrown out like "which old testiment prophet was called to marry the prostitute Gomer?" - I KNOW I KNOW!!! Hosea... thank you Francine Rivers! hehe. I also got to listen in a couple guys talking about churches around the valley... you'll be happy to knowt that Open Door was mentioned with positive comments about both John and Randy!!! SCORE!! I promptly told them that was my church and Randy was my dad... proud daughter!

Five of the girls I gave massage to were planning their weddings for this summer... it is true what they say about Christian Colleges and girls majoring in an MRS. Degree... but what can I say with the guys I saw. And yes Nicole the guy was there again... hehe... plus the guy I see around church every sunday (who I found out this week has a girlfriend).

Now I am getting ready for an evening with the fam!! Tyler is starring in a One-Act at school this weekend... the show is directed by his friend Noah... I am anxious to see it tonight! Tyler also rocked the house tuesday night I hear with his solo at his choir concert... he sang an Incubus song, but I don't know which one as I was not there (stupid work), but he was accompanied by pre-recorded GarageBand mixed music by Shawn!! I guess it was amazing and I will look forward to watching the tape!

I'm off now... I'll see you all later!
