holy mother of god! it's madonna!

last night i got dragged kicking and screaming to the madonna concert. my damn catholic upbringing left me with a guilty conscience and this loophole was expertly exploited by my roomate. so i, along with 15000 women and feminine men, saw the material girl's 'confessions on a dance floor' tour.

i am not a madonna person. at all. i don't even like most of her old stuff. her new stuff has a bit of techno/dance feel to it but it's not something i would go out and buy. i admit that she is a very talented performer but i was more fascinated by the technology behind the show than the music/show itself. yes, i am a geek.

there were two redeeming qualities about the show. 1. Madonna is reallllly hot. and 2. They mashed up her new single "Hung Up" with The Trammp's "Disco Inferno". Everyone came out in bangin' white leisure suits and disco'd it down.

the simanek six - things that are fantastic

apologies for the shitty title. i couldn't think of anything good to describe 6 things that make me smile/laugh/giggle-like-schoolgirl or are just plain good.

1. honey roasted peanuts. not too long ago, i purchase a 6 lb. tub of these. it was a tuesday. they were gone by sunday.
2. scratchy soap. any bar soap with pumice or crap in the bar that scratches while you wash up could be one of the greatest inventions ever.
3. the drunken rendition of the South Park "Uncle Fucker" song performed by timmy and myself.
4. the afro and elvis glasses. perfect for any occasion.
5. doing a powerslide and soaking the occupants of the boat you're driving...especially when they don't see it coming. this would fall into the 'giggle like a schoolgirl' category.
6. tailgates that involve chili, the university of illinois, and drinking budweiser out of the can from dawn 'til dusk.

gooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllll

for the first time in at least 5 years i scored...intentionally...on the opposing team's goal. woo!

in other news, race motivation has come from a rather unexpected source and i'm hitting it harder than ever. tomorrow is a 50 mile bike ride down on the lake.

broken

everything just went to shit in the past 3 days.
- one of the relays blew in the stove at the store
- my 3 compartment sink developed a massive leak and i don't own a wrench big enough to fix it.
- my chocolate temperer overheated itself and melted a pretty important piece of plastic
- and now, one of my toilets in my house is leaking

i smell a fun week ahead.

UPDATE: my garage door just broke. ugh.
